Governor @KatieHobbs vetoed a bill that would have made housing more affordable for Arizonans. Meanwhile, our brilliant Senator wants to put up federally-owned sardine can projects in parking lots. WOOF, ARIZONA.

Not gonna lie, this gets me HYPED. Let’s DOMINATE this week, fellow Americans.

Today is @ArizonaAFP State Day of Action! 🇺🇸🏜️🌵 Stop by today anytime from 9-5! We will be calling to interact with voters with our staff and other volunteers! We will also have free breakfast and lunch! See you soon!

“Lowering costs” is a strange claim when Arizona housing remains unaffordable for working families and Hobbs vetoed the Starter Homes Act that would have increased housing supply for first-time buyers. Before celebrating campaign talking points, let’s see the data and compare promises to results… *crickets*

Reminder: most of the medical debt she “erased” had already been written off as uncollectible, so Katie Hobbs basically just gave a bunch of taxpayer money to hospitals and insurance companies so she could make campaign ads about it.

Our Director of Grassroots Operations @DavesPolicy was quoted in support of small modular reactors. An interesting read! azcapitoltimes.com/news/2026…

Big win for Arizona small businesses! HB2693 has been signed in to law, expanding health coverage options through bona fide associations. More choices, better affordability, and real relief for employers across the state. A huge shot out to everyone who worked together to make this happen!

KEY VOTE ALERT! SB1418 - corporation commission; small modular reactors

KEY VOTE ALERT! HB2456 - nuclear-ready communities; comprehensive plans.

…Is this a prank? Has cost of living gotten so out of hand we’re ordering Chinese Mystery Meat? 🤮

On this solemn D-Day anniversary, we remember the courage of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. Last year, I had the honor of taking my children to Omaha Beach to stand where heroes fell, to feel the weight of history, and to teach them what real sacrifice looks like. I am proud to raise the next generation of Americans who knows that freedom is never free nor guaranteed. It’s why we do what we do. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

So, FINAL THOUGHTS: Affordability in Arizona is significantly worse than when Hobbs took office, and much worse off than most of the country. So no, it’s not a “Washington” problem, Governor. It’s you.

4. Recent data puts Arizona’s grocery cost index right around 100, meaning essentially average for the nation DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE BASICALLY PRODUCE ALL OF IT. Produce runs on national average, meats runs higher than average.

3. As of today, AAA reports Arizona’s average regular gasoline price at about $4.60/gal, versus a national average of about $4.22/gal

2. Arizona has been ranked among the least affordable states for housing costs relative to income, with only about 42% of households able to afford the average home under conventional lending standards, down from about 66% in 2019

OH! So it’s a “Washington” problem, huh? Let’s review some facts! 1. Compared with most of the United States, Arizona experienced one of the sharper declines in housing affordability from 2022 through 2025. Who was the Governor then?

🚢💡It's time to turn the lights out on the Jones Act. The Merchant Marine Act of 1920 — better known as the Jones Act — mandates that goods shipped between U.S. ports must travel on vessels that are U.S.-built, U.S.-owned, and U.S.-flagged. Sold as a national security measure, it has instead become a textbook case of protectionism producing the opposite of its intended effects. ✴️Higher Costs for Consumers and Businesses ✅Shipping a container from the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico costs roughly twice what it costs to ship the same container to a nearby foreign island — a direct Jones Act tax on American consumers. ✅Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico — all heavily dependent on maritime imports — face systematically elevated prices for food, fuel, construction materials, and consumer goods. ✅American manufacturers pay inflated freight costs that make U.S. exports less competitive globally, undermining the very industries the law claims to protect. ✅During natural disasters the Act delays emergency relief shipments, forcing costly waivers just to get aid to Americans in crisis. ✴️A Shipbuilding Industry in Irreversible Decline ✅Shielded from foreign competition, U.S. shipyards have had little incentive to innovate, invest, or become cost-efficient — a Jones Act-built ship costs 4–5x more than a comparable foreign-built vessel. ✅The U.S. commercial shipbuilding industry has collapsed from over 70 active shipyards in the mid-20th century to a handful today, despite — or because of — protectionist insulation. ✅Monopoly protection breeds stagnation, not strength. The Act has produced atrophied, high-cost weakness. ✴️A Weakened Navy and Merchant Fleet ✅The U.S. merchant fleet — the very asset Jones Act proponents claim to be preserving — has shrunk dramatically; fewer than 100 Jones Act vessels operate today. ✅A truly competitive, dynamic maritime industry would produce more vessels, more trained mariners, and more surge capacity for national emergencies — the opposite of what the Act delivers. ✅Allied navies and commercial partners increasingly outpace U.S. maritime capability, precisely because their industries face competitive pressure that drives improvement. ✴️The Bottom Line The Jones Act is corporate welfare masquerading as patriotism. It enriches a small cluster of protected shipowners while taxing every American who lives on an island, ships goods domestically, or pays at the pump. 💪🇺🇸🚢Repeal would lower prices, revitalize shipbuilding through genuine competition, and produce a merchant fleet worth defending. @AFPhq @kentstrang @HeartlandPostWI @abundanceinst @ckoopman @senatorshoshana @AFPGovAffairs @scottlincicome @BasedMikeLee @GroverNorquist @jackprandelli

We sat down with students at @PatrickHenryCol and asked, how can we preserve liberty?
