[Brian Murray @BrianMurrayAZ]

Lt. Gov isn't ceremonial. Prop 131 made it first in line of succession, ahead of the SOS. AZ has lost a sitting governor mid-term 5 times since 1977.

Voters aren't picking a #2. They're picking a probable governor - but how much scrutiny will they get?

[Capitol Media Services 📢 Telling it like it is @azcapmedia]

Report: @GovernorHobbs has tapped former Mesa Mayor John Giles, a registered Republican, to run on ticket with her as lieutenant governor, underlining her bid to appeal to moderate GOP and independent voters to get 2nd term. But will it move the needle? https://t.co/vrnLT4AtE5

@BrianMurrayAZ Same.

[David Leibowitz @leiboaz]

You know what would be more enlightening than a debate? Watching @katiehobbs and @andybiggs4az have a civil conversation … you know, the way real humans do.

I’ve debate-prepped dozens of candidates. It’s all canned sound bites and rehearsed attacks. It’s bullshit.

[Drew Chavez @drewchavez]

He fucking with us right? The kicker is fucking with us?

[Drew Chavez @drewchavez]

@leiboaz First rule. Only rule.

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.

I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.

Six minutes later I was holding chicken.

I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.

A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.

I said thank you.

She said, "My pleasure."

I did not think about it then. I should have.

At the window I thanked the young man for the food.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for the sauce.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for thanking me—

"My pleasure."

I want to be clear about what was happening.

This was a duel.

In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.

I was a white belt in that drive-thru.

I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.

He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.

Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.

I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.

It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.

All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.

I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.

Once to a teenager with sauce.

Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.

In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.

I had never seen a restaurant say it back.

I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.

"My pleasure."

She smiled and said, "It sure is."

America, I surrender.

It was my pleasure.

The USA can still advance to the round of 8 if Mike Pence has the courage.

@arizonaslaw You are a lawyer right? You’ll figure it out.

Hey! Meet our new employee Kim. Also Kim got fired today. Don’t be Kim. #byekim ✌🏽

No matter where you fall on this issue this is probably the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

[Arizona House Democrats @AZHouseDems]

The Auditor General’s recent report on the ESA voucher program found it automatically approved purchases less than $2,000. A 12 News investigation previously found purchases automatically approved included lingerie. House Democrats have requested the Joint Legislative Audit Committee reviews the findings from the Auditor General at an upcoming meeting.

“You were made uniquely, wonderfully, distinctly. There’s a sound only you can make. A voice that has never existed before you and will never exist again. A contribution only you can bring. A way of seeing that belongs only to you.”

Incredible speech; powerful message!

[Courtney Coolidge @CourtCoolidge]

Thank you @AZHouseGOP for passing SB 1429-closing a clear gap in the local initiative process for out-of-state & paid circulators.

There is no logical reason why out-of-state circulators lawmaking via the ballot box with lasting consequences for local communities should not be subject to the same rules currently in place at the state/candidate level.

It’s not complicated, it’s common sense.

@ClueHeywood @tomryanlaw @BovodioToad @andybiggs4az Electorate is smart. Keep dividing GOP in 2 and you may have a shot. But they can’t help themselves. Fun to watch tho.
