One of my private workshop guests said this storm yesterday south of Sunizona was “spiritual” for him after a tough year. It definitely was the kind of monsoon magic I live for ❤️🌈⛈️#azwx

If the Giants are really selling already, which may be the case, the Cubs need to inquire about Logan Webb and/or Robbie Ray NOW

Montana Standard star reporter Mike Smith, a longtime State Politics reporter in Indianapolis for the AP before moving to Montana, died yesterday I’m still in shock. He leaves an incredible legacy. Butte is so much worse without him #mtnews mtstandard.com/news/local/ar…

There actually is no way to know how much misuse in ESAs. @RealTomHorne and @AZTreasurerYee refuse to release ESA spending records for all of the past 2 years, and Auditor General has been stonewalled from auditing.

Replying to @fire_starter457 @SEANRYA17583867 @MBeienburg @AZFreedomCaucus @12News @CraigHarrisNews
ESA misuse: $1-2 million - $170k collected, $182k referred, $73k pending Public Schools misuse: $26 million+ (Goldwater study, plus ongoing audits)- millions identified but no full recoveries You believe whatever fanatical narrative you want.

If you don't want the federal government to underwrite research and development through our universities, what is your alternative model? Just stop funding R&D? Fall behind China and the rest of the world that does fund R&D? That is not a strategy for making America great. Just the opposite.

Traded Cody Bellinger for money they didn't use and a pitcher they DFA'd. Whiffed on Tanner Scott, Alex Bregman, and Roki Sasaki. Cool, cool. Just start playing games already so I can put this offseason behind me.

Hilarious story. Heritage foundation economist says on a podcast today “this whole idea that tariffs can never serve a good purpose, that’s just not correct”. Josh digs up this 2021 heritage foundation article to dunk. Heritage deletes the article in 30 minutes lol.

4 days ago, I was wrongly convicted of slander after police used deception to coerce me. Today, the fight continues. I'm off to Olympia to testify in support of HB1138 to ban police deception. ATTN lawmakers: I'll be knocking on doors before the hearing. I'd love to speak w/ you.
