@Garrett_Archer @AbrahamHamadeh This is the scary line:
“Never play fair in a game where others cheat.”

He is justifying his cheating based on his perception that the other side is cheating.

Slippery slope.

I am not a union guy, but if this happens, every single AEA member needs to leave the organization. If you feel compelled to be part of an education association, AFT actually care about kids. https://t.co/xcSyiUOxfS

Horseshoe Fire destroying one of my fav camping spots close to the valley: Mesquite Recreation Area near horseshoe dam. Currently 233 acres burned and 30% contained. https://t.co/5wU4avkCZL #HorseshoeFire

@AndrewLeezus The problem with Giannis’ game is his body takes a beating. I’m not sure how many miles he’s got left of playing at a high level.

@dannowicki @ruelaswritings Way more elected/government officials than Miller are using using disappearing messages on apps like signal and whatsapp. a good chunk of the azleg. Not sure how its enforceable.

@W55560233 @franfraschilla @ArizonaMBB @Big12Conference I'm an Arizona native and U of A grad. When I am not pulling for Arizona, I am cheering ASU. The manufactured hate and vitriol is lame. I actually take my kids to ASU games because I live in the valley and want them to have the college bball experience.

@franfraschilla @ArizonaMBB @Big12Conference If it wasn't for the NIL, he would be NBA draft bound.

[Cookie Baker @smarterAZ]

@SethDavisHoops Coaches don't want to just make money. They need NIL $. UA is willing to spend as much as anyone for NIL. UNC has Jordan (and others). Arizona puts players into the NBA too. If lloyd wants to go to UNC for the stature and tradition, great. Arizona basketball is not a backwater.

@AllTheHeels @franfraschilla @ArizonaMBB Plenty of current and former Arizona NBA players giving money to program. Current NBA players by school:

1. Kentucky: 29
2. Duke: 24
3. UCLA: 14
4. Arizona: 12
5. Arkansas: 11
6. Gonzaga: 11
7. Kansas: 11
8. USC: 11
9. Michigan: 10
10. Texas: 10
11. Baylor: 10

@ESabro3 I thought just the opposite. Someone who isn't all in - committed to the past, present, and future - doesn't give a shout out to Lute.

@WBUofA @ZachGelb @CoachJPastner He knows he hasn't done enough to earn it.

@1970jaymanAz @AZSports @KellanOlson Dude, Kellan Olson is legit. His coverage of the Suns is second to none. He's a regular on 98.7 Arizona Sports. Go listen to the Empire of the Suns podcast.

@JustBS @CBoxSports Big 12 consistently will get 6-8 teams in the tournament. He can be mid in the big 12, and be in every year, or be at USU and have to be amazing and win the conference tournament every year to make the NCAA tourney.

[Cookie Baker @smarterAZ]

@ShaneDaleAZ 1. utah state was underseeded. good team
2. Kharchenkov needs to understand his role. Love him. He isn't option 1, 2, or 3 this year. some ugly turnovers that swung the momentum to USU. makes me nervous everytime he drives, because he gets tied up.

@WayneSchutsky Galvin worked with Reim on the water issue in Rio Verde. Now Reim has a leg up in his legislative race. He's actually a pretty nice guy, we'll see how he handles the republican realities of LD 3.

[Cookie Baker @smarterAZ]

@WayneSchutsky No way Galvin lets Ugenti-Rita through.
Reim is an unknown to BOS.
Khalaf known for a long time in Republican circles as being relatively reasonable but he has become election denier adjacent, to placate the base.

BOS goes with Khalaf.

Gotta feel good about @ArizonaMBB west region draw. Would love to see Gonzaga in the elite 8 but can the bulldogs get past BYU? Purdue?

[Cookie Baker @smarterAZ]

@azcapmedia Why jump immediately to three?
Test it first. Divide each LD in half - each represented by a house member for improved accountability with zero fiscal impact.
Senate continues to represent the entire LD.

[Cookie Baker @smarterAZ]

@WayneSchutsky Also of note, Reim lost Cave Creek school board race in 2024.
