Dang, I always assumed that a vampire like Trump would have no reflection in any mirror. In this case I can see that his true nature has been revealed.

How did this civil rights rally in our nation's capitol get almost zero media publicity in advance? Oh, right, forgot that the corporate media has completely bent the knee to Trump and his attack on what he calls "woke."

Today's sign of the coming apocalypse: the quacks at Turning Point USA are partnering with a dark money group funded by the gambling industry. More folks that will need to be investigated when all this is over. Will try to post the rest of the article in the comments section.

From today's USA Today: America is drowning in debt. Trump is spending our economy into oblivion on his vanity projects, and the Republican party, which has traditionally claimed to be the party of "fiscal responsibility", is sitting on their hands doing nothing.

Seems too long since we had any Republican leaders in Arizona like John Giles who had integrity or self-respect. Now he's running as an Independent for Lt Governor on a ticket with Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs against MAGA lackey Andy Biggs. Don't make a "bigg" mistake; vote for Hobbs & Giles!

How it's going. Meanwhile, Trump whining about needing trillion$ more for national defense and vanity projects, while increasing US national debt to $40 trillion, of which he is responsible for almost 30% after being in office for less than 6 years of our 250 year history. So much winning. 🙄

Please boycott these MAGAts at Sable Boulangerie (bakery) in Gilbert AZ. They are vocal supporters of the Tate Brothers (Trump's buddies who the UK is trying to extradite on charges of rape, assault, and arranging or facilitating travel for sexual exploitation.) Another version of the Epstein class.

Putin putting more ideas into Dumb Donnie's little brain. I expect that Trump will be trying to ban the Democratic Party from this year's elections in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Maybe the reason Trump's buddies at Taylor Farms can't find the shi# in the lettuce that they're selling to you is because they're too busy finding the fraud in their executive millionaire class

Chandler AZ is deflocking. Apparently there are more police officers in America abusing the Flock system to stalk women than there are trans athletes, so maybe folks should rethink which is the greater threat. You can get a map of Flock cameras in your area at deflock.org

Democratic extremism? GOP spent a decade riding extremism to power. | Opinion
Between now and the midterms, and probably well beyond, you'll hear endless chatter about 'Democratic extremism.' Don't believe the fearmongering.

Colorado River flows are down 20% in this century compared to the previous century. Govt officials cannot keep warning us about potential shortages while continuing to approve new developments that rely on our shrinking supply. Growth decisions should reflect the current reality.

More Americans are going bankrupt. What does that mean?
The bankruptcy rate has risen about 48% between 2022 and 2025, although it's still below pre-pandemic levels.

The Trump administration did away with the Fish & Wildlife Service fire crew that used to be stationed at this wildlife refuge. Hopefully the MAGAts in this predominantly Republican County will know who to blame for this failure (I doubt it, but we gotta have hope.)

From today's Arizona Republic newspaper. Just a reminder that Trump refused to sign the "21st Century ROAD to Housing" bill that Congress passed this year because his need to destroy our elections is more important to him than affordability for the working class.

Everyday Americans are picking up the bill while utility CEOs and their investors make record profits. Meanwhile there were over 13 million residential customer disconnections in 2024 due to unpaid bills. Keeping the lights on for everyday folks should take priority over profits and bonuses.

Drought in AZ has caused San Carlos Lake on the Gila River to dry up, with 100% fish kill. Downstream communities like Kearny are facing water shortages. A brutal reminder of how fragile our water situation is in the desert. Do we really need our precious water to be used for cooling data centers?
