“My first name does not have an ‘e.’ Yes I’m sure.”

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room. The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

When your defense is “the [election equipment somebody commandeered] was returned quickly,” you are missing the point.

"[Recorder Heap] needs to do his job, put down his phone, tell his staff to stop tweeting, and get to work, because this is an outrageous dereliction of duty, and unfortunately for Mr. Heap and whoever else participated, that dereliction of duty is now directly affecting the city that I represent, and I'm mad as hell about it." ktar.com/podcast_player/?a=5…

Tempe councilmember @RandyKeating says the video showing a Recorders Office employee removing a ballot scanner “raises very serious concerns regarding the security and transparency of our election process.” @AmyCutlerNews

…and Tempe City Councilman @RandyKeating will be on @AZMorningNews tomorrow on @KTAR923 at around 7:10am to discuss this…

Tempe Councilman Randy Keating is demanding that MCRO hold onto all records related to this incident, suggesting potential litigation may be incoming. This incident happened during the city's council election... x.com/RandyKeating/status/20…

This just jumped the fire line.

🚨 NEW POLL AZ AG RACE Petersen 35% Glassman 19% Independent survey shows Petersen as the clear frontrunner at 35%-19%. When voters learn Glassman’s record — lost 6 times in a row, switched parties 4 times, ran twice as Democrat Party chair, dedicated a children's environmental book to Ruben Gallego, etc. — Petersen surges past 60%! stealth-analytics.com/dispat…

This. Is. Not. A. Drill.

Spencer Pratt telling his supporters not to vote by mail and then questioning why he's underperforming with mail-in ballots is a very Donald Trump/Kari Lake thing to do.🤡

I sincerely hope this guy stays safe.

Tulsi Gabbard resigning on Friday of a holiday weekend means there’s definitely nothing to see there. Nothing at all.

Massie: When did bipartisanship become a dirty word? By the way, I’m not even sure I’m bipartisan. “Bi” means you like both. I might be transpartisan because I can’t identify with either some days. That’s the good thing about the polls being closed—they can’t run an ad where I claim to be trans.

Thomas Massie led the charge to release the Epstein Files, and we’ve made real progress in the investigation because of it. After tonight, it’s clear Trump’s Republican Party would rather protect the powerful than expose the truth. The Pedophile Protection Party.

The banks *will* get bailed out. The family whose car gets repo’d is screwed.

ICE pepper sprayed 47 detainees in an enclosed room at the Mesa Gateway holding facility. The room was already at double the maximum capacity. You can hear the detainees in the background of the 911 call recording, coughing violently and struggling to breathe. The inhumanity is beyond words. azmirror.com/2026/05/13/911-…

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living. I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

A new Arizona Auditor General report finds the the percentage of misspending in the state's Empowerment Scholarship program was a stunning 34 percent, based on a sample of transactions from July 23-October 25. The report also is highly critical of @RealTomHorne management....
