Many of you may have missed this, but the little boy who Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to at the Super Bowl was Liam Ramos!

Amazing!

No more boring speeches about the deficit on the House floor. @davidschweikert isn’t a deficit hawk after all. He’s a chicken!

Hey @maddow !!

There are 150 protestors at Schweikert’s office. If Elon is doing his job, we don’t need him.

@jonfavs it would be a great act of patriotism if you and your pod-team picked a Biden alternative, Kamala or someone else, and got to work on their behalf (and ours!) to get them ready for the Chicago convention.

In a bush league gesture, the House Education Committee video feed shuts down just as @Jennifer_Pawlik starts an emotional speech thanking House Staff for their help during the session. This was probably her farewell speech since she is leaving at the end of this session.

Now they are voting on allowing the Ten Commandments in schools. Rep House Education Committee. Rep David Cook votes aye but threatens to vote no on the floor. For today, it passes.

SB1151, Ten Commandments in schools: @JudyForAZ Schweibert asks where they appear in our founding documents? They don’t.

[Ann Wallack @annwallack]

House Education Committee member @lauraforAZ Terech questions Kern on “who is opting in?” Teachers, parents administrators? @anthonykernAZ says the teachers would opt in and choose which version.

[Ann Wallack @annwallack]

The next bill in House Education is SB1151 which would allow the Ten Commandments to be posted or read in public schools. @anthonykernAZ the sponsor, emphases that it is an “opt-in” situation. He says our government is founded on the Old Testament by the Puritans to worship Jesus

[Ann Wallack @annwallack]

Hey all, @JudyForAZ Schweibert is on fire opposing SB1583… her vote explanation calls it a disparagement of public schools and would require public schools to use their resources to promote their competitors. However, it passes.

I'm excited to share this news! Be on the lookout tomorrow for a link to sign my petition online. #AZLD4

Happy Birthday Arizona, and Happy Valentine’s day to all the sweethearts out there! 💙💙💙

We are disappointed that Chair Bennett is providing 4th vote on controversial bills that should die in committee.

Due to the recent axis of evil meeting of Elon, Jones and Tate—I’m out. I’m looking for my favorite people on other platforms to see if they’ve made the switch, too. @ClueHeywood are you coming?

[Ann Wallack @annwallack]

@RepAnaliseOrtiz @yourfriendlyorg I have a dream that all legislators are paid well, have offices and constituent services in their districts where they can hear from real voters about real issues. This would cut down on the culture war nonsense.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.

It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.

But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.

There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.

Does anyone know what is causing the dirty smoke in. North Phoenix?

[ADLCC @A_DLCC]

We are entering our 8th year in a teacher shortage and instead of finding solutions, Republicans are focused on defunding our schools. Listen as @ChristinePMarsh, a current teacher, speaks out against harmful bills in the #AZLeg. She is fighting for more funding for our schools.
