The budget has passed #AZLeg. Tomorrow is for ballot referrals and legislative fuckery. Stay tuned and be ready for quick action... and be prepared to go to the Capitol in person if you can.
Elon Musk has taught me that with effort, a strong entreprenueurial spirit, an emerald mine, a lot of exploitation, self-dealing, white privilege, a bad hair transplant, supplemental testosterone, an expired student visa, a charity that gives money to itself, ecstasy, ketamine, weed, cocaine, Ozempic, people loathing you so much they pay you to go away and most of all a sh*tload of government subsidies, you can accomplish whatever you want in America.
😡AZ GOP puts out fake budget that cuts K12 funding, fails to address Prop 123, & refuses to rein in $1B ESA voucher program

Donald Trump canceled a plan for airlines to compensate you hundreds of dollars for flights delayed by hours and hours.
United Airlines and Delta Airlines each gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.
“It’s really pulling the mask down on what’s always been a little bit of a ruse when it comes to due process,” said @David_J_Bier. "The fake independence has never been faker.”

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego just confronted Mike Johnson as he walked by - and grilled him for “covering up” for predators by pushing Adelitta Grijalva’s swearing in.
This is how you confront COWARDS - with the truth and cameras rolling.
I was honored to meet with Ukrainian Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna today.
We will continue to stand with Ukraine and provide them the support they need to defend their freedom and defeat Russian aggression.
Didn’t plan to have a conversation with Speaker Johnson today, but I told him what we’re all thinking: He needs to bring the House back here to help solve this shutdown and stop people’s health care costs from skyrocketing.
As @SenMarkKelly and @RubenGallego slam Speaker Mike Johnson for 1) having the House on recess during a shutdown and 2) not swearing in Adelita Grijalva, Johnson comes out of his office and a debate starts 👀
The Putin-Trump meeting was a disaster, as predicted. Putin got everything he wanted: a photo op legitimizing his war crimes, no ceasefire, and no sanctions or new weapons for Ukraine.
Trump's goal was to keep Putin happy. He succeeded.
