Trump is attempting to counter program at the Arizona-Mexico border today 🥱😴. Our VP @mattgrodsky pointed out there are no sharks or boats at AZ's border so he should be pretty safe...🦈🔋🚤

History will be on @ScottPelley’s side. More poor decision making by @CBS leadership robs journalism and Americans of an invaluable voice. It was a great experience meeting Scott in 2022. I’m sure there’s plenty more to come from him.

Always a pleasure to join @KTAR923 & chat with @JoeHuizengaKTAR & @beckylynntalks about the State of the Union. Americans, regardless of party, are tired of the chaos. What we lack in our political discourse is humility and respectful leadership from the top. Soundbites here:

Good piece in @thehill by @amieparnes. My take at the end: “The advantage goes to @CaptMarkKelly...When you're attacking a veteran who is experienced and is a good communicator who people have gotten to know and trust, you're losing the narrative..."

Almost 1 year after Trump took office:
Prices ↑
Healthcare costs ↑
America weaker
Maxwell cozy in a new prison
Jan 6 rioters free and pardoned
Innocent people killed
Democrats have more than enough to run on.

Bring it on. Sec. @Adrian_Fontes doesn’t back down.
2020: faced down a mob to finish counting the vote.
2021: crushed a "Big Lie" witch hunt from Brnovich.
2022: beat an election denier and Jan. 6th participant.
He’s got Arizona’s back.

It was a pleasure joining Chuck Coughlin and host Steve Goldstein on @azpbs to discuss the concept of Ranked Choice Voting, as some DNC members discuss it as a potential option in the 2028 presidential primaries.

[Matt Grodsky 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @mattgrodsky]

It was a pleasure to return to Arizona Horizon on @azpbs with @wesgullett and host Ted Simons to discuss the government reopening and Democratic messaging in the days ahead. The full episode airs again at 10 pm.

Is the mantra bear down or roll over? UofA's answer to Trump's "offer " should very simply be: No

Appreciated being back on Sunday Square Off with @brahmresnik and fellow guest Councilman @treyterry. My main message -- elections have consequences.

On @azfamily Politics Unplugged Podcast, we focused on the Democratic primary in NY's Mayoral race and discussed messaging strategies for Dems in upcoming elections. Had a great time chatting with Joe Wolf and host @dennis_welch.

I'm incredibly proud of our team at @mattersofst8 and the colleagues that we worked with on multiple races last cycle. In a tough election year, it's nice for hard work to be recognized with 4 Pollie Awards from the prestigious @TheAAPC. Thank you, Judges.

[Deborah Howard for Arizona @DHowardLD27]

I'm back in the fight and running once again for the AZ LD27 State House of Representatives. We must elect representatives who will take their obligation to represent all of us seriously. And I will. Please sign my petition today to get me on the ballot! Thank you

[Adrian Fontes @Adrian_Fontes]

As a Marine, my job is to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Our institutions are under grave threat. So I intend to remain at my post, standing in the breach as Secretary of State, to continue fighting for AZ and defending our democratic process.

[Matt Grodsky 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @mattgrodsky]

Between Noem, Homan, and Mr. Measles, Arizona got a lot of attention this week. I enjoyed breaking it all down on @azfamily Politics Unplugged with @marcusdell and host Dennis Welch.

[Matters of State Strategies @mattersofst8]

Our team is honored to be helping @MaricopaDems with communications as they gear up for the midterms.

[Adrian Fontes @Adrian_Fontes]

I’m making a big move!

I’m headed over to @bluesky. I will still have a presence on this platform, but if you've grown tired of the Elon Musk show, you can find me at: https://t.co/rPDGVkHFEY

[Matt Grodsky 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @mattgrodsky]

Let's play this out: Russia accepts the ceasefire, giving Trump a political win. If that happens, I predict Russia will eventually violate the ceasefire but blame it on Ukraine. Russia now has an excuse to escalate. Trump then has an excuse to give up on Ukraine. Hope I'm wrong.

.@NCPHAorg President Mary Crozier, spoke on @kjzzphoenix to discuss one of the many bad housing bills before the Arizona legislature. She shared her perspective on how to go about truly helping alleviate the affordable housing crisis.
