Curious why AZ political media hasn’t made more of Sine Kerr’s and Kimberly Yee’s no votes on Arizona’s minimum age for marriage law passed in 2018. It was sponsored by Republican Michelle Ugenti-Rita and set marriage age at 16 (with narrow exceptions that MU-R had to add to get it past other Republicans). Governor Hobbs was, of course, a yes. Protecting children has been one of the defining themes of this election, no?

It’s really pretty shocking how rare not getting a true bill from the grand jury is… And how often it’s happened in these obviously-motivated-by-Trump-animus charges. washingtonpost.com/national-…

I am a proud product of Cartwright Elementary School, a former Cartwright Governing Board President, and a lifelong resident of this community. I know our families, understand our community, and care deeply about our district’s needs. I am outraged by the Cartwright Elementary School District’s contract with Sam Stone. In my view, his hyperpartisan, right-wing MAGA politics are fundamentally at odds with the values and priorities of our community. Our families deserve partners who are committed to our public schools, support our teachers, and put our children first. I have no confidence that Sam Stone shares those priorities. I call on the superintendent and Governing Board to do the right thing for our students, families, educators, and community: end this contract immediately. Our children deserve better. Cartwright deserves better.

GTFOOH with that trash you grifter clown. I notified lakes atty and Harmeet Dhillon about my concerns. I also notified MCED, MCRC chair & RNC. As you know bc as per usual you took my efforts & tried to ‘create’ a ‘Merissa’ involvement to grift. Try your clown show pseudo-expert ‘hot takes’ with someone in your league.

Replying to @kennyjacobs
Jake also has no idea how to read statutes, the Elections Procedures Manual or court filings. Fontes absolutely did not try to make it illegal to vote in uniform and it’s AZ statute that makes it a crime for the SOS not to canvass by the deadline even if a county fails to certify

Lobbyist Matt Gress wants to help his national employer vilify public school teachers and defund public schools. Gress is not going to look into ACTUAL corruption, especially when Gress’ friends are profiting.

Exactly this!👇
Recorder Justin Heap’s chief of staff ($156,000) Sam Stone now a consultant ($99,000) at Cartwright School District too. Which means they believe 1) Election fraud is not real nor worth fully pursuing 2) Struggling school districts don’t need money going to the classroom

Cmon @MatthewGress this is your chance to show your bona fides. An impoverished school district should have its money go into the classroom not in the pockets of political hacks, right??? Right???
Hey @MatthewGress any comment? Can we expect an investigation?

Hey @MatthewGress any comment? Can we expect an investigation?
While Cartwright families struggle to pay bills, the District is funneling thousands in tax $$ to a MAGA operative under Board President Lydia Hernandez's leadership. What is Sam's job? We don't know because the District is ignoring records requests. 12news.com/article/news/poli…

.@MikeRogersForMI being the Muslim Brotherhood’s sleeper Manchurian candidate is the plot twist his atrocious campaign deserves.
wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

This is beyond disgraceful. Gambling is a cancer. Prediction markets even worse; they will cause more athletes to cheat, more to be threatened if they make or miss foul shots or play for fewer minutes. Less confidence in integrity of the game. Shame on the NBA and Adam Silver.
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: nytimes.com/athletic/7723134…

Mark Lamb is making national headlines — and not for the reasons Arizona voters would hope. Threatening messages to women. Racist jokes. Controversy after controversy. MSNBC is putting a national spotlight on the man running to represent Arizona’s 5th Congressional District.
