I would REALLY like to see Christopher Nolan begin his Best Picture acceptance speech with, "You know, I can't help but notice that no one involved with the Melania documentary is here tonight. But to those of you who are: Thank you."

"Frustrated by a city council that has refused to oppose the opening of an immigration detention center, community activists in Surprise, Arizona are hoping residents will agree to disincorporate the city, stripping away the council’s power...." azmirror.com/2026/06/17/f...

Frustrated by inaction on ICE warehouse, activists move to dissolve Surprise altogether

Surprise ICE warehouse facility opposition fuels a petition to disincorporate the Arizona city entirely, but it's a big challenge to do so

Very sad to learn of the loss of Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). He was a dedicated public servant, a fierce advocate for his constituents -- and all people in need -- and a big-hearted human. It's a loss for Arizona, for the House and for the country. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

azcentral.com

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, one of Arizona's longest-serving congressmen, dies at 77

Grijalva, the son of a Mexican immigrant who rose to the halls of Congress in a public-service career that stretched more than 40 years, has died.
