I would say stick to your lane, but you only finish fifth in that one.

Relax, nobody's closing golf courses. ⛳

My point is we need incentives to help all Arizonans and major industries swap thirsty grass and catch rainwater, especially if our water situation gets worse— while I take on the foreign mega-farms and data centers draining our water.

My opponent is making up false claims.

JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces. Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies?

Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws.

Trump’s DOJ just charged James Comey for the third time in a little over a year. They lost the first one. The second one is about seashells and isn’t going anywhere. So they went looking for a new one.

What they landed on is a 2016 leak to the New York Times that Trump’s own prosecutor already looked at in 2018 and declined to charge. A second DOJ investigation closed in 2020 with the same answer. But the statute of limitations runs out this week, so they skipped the grand jury and filed anyway.

And it’s not just Comey. Yesterday a judge ruled the DOJ illegally fired his daughter, a prosecutor with outstanding reviews every year, and ordered her reinstated with back pay.

So this is what we’re dealing with. A Justice Department that will keep going after someone no matter how many times it loses, and will go after his family if that’s what it takes.

Trump said he’d do this. He campaigned on it. And the people he put in charge at the DOJ keep trying. All to keep the toddler who ended up in the White House happy. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

Just briefed the @UN Security Council in New York today on current nuclear non-proliferation issues, with a focus on Iran.

Gradual, technical steps could allow @IAEAorg inspectors to return and pave the way to normal safeguards implementation while contributing to a confidence-building atmosphere conducive to a wider agreement.

Only diplomacy, underpinned by IAEA verification, can prevent nuclear proliferation in the long-term, in Iran and around the world.

Bitch, y’all did January 6th. Spare me your contrived outrage.

You took marching orders from Trump. You filed a frivolous and sanctionable case. You are going to lose.

Mary Peltola is going to win this election and when she is sworn in, I hope you are there to sit and weep.

[AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes @AZAGMayes]

These are U.S. citizens — they always had the legal right to vote. But you nearly disenfranchised them and took their rights away by wrongly labeling them non-citizens when you had no authority to do so. That is unconscionable. But tell yourself whatever you need to hear.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

Reminder that Alaska will label the incumbent Sullivan as “INCUMBENT.”

Reminder that all of this has been known for months.

Reminder that private parties are well-situated to litigate this if needed.

Reminder that this is not the first time this type of issue has presented itself.

Reminder that ballot printing and candidate filings are creatures of state law.

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name.

Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs.

Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz.

JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman.

Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.

Mike Johnson's real first name is James.

Rand Paul is Randal Paul.

Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson.

But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?
