My office seized cash, gold bars, multiple aircraft, luxury items, and more from Yuma doctor Irfan Fazil after he was caught defrauding our state's Medicaid program of $36.5 million. He'll spend 7.5 years in prison and will pay back every dollar he stole from taxpayers. www.azag.gov/press-releas...

He simply must be removed from office as any other President would have been if they had uttered these words. "A small price to pay" means he is willing to let 15 million Americans be murdered and he thinks it is acceptable. The fact that those people clapped when he said that makes me sick.

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

Hey MAGA! Tonight Trump just offered Los Angeles and San Diego as nuclear targets to our enemies. "You can take them out. It would be a small price to pay." This is not funny, folks. He's turned into a madman. He offered to sell our military weapons to China last week. 25th Amendment time.

The day started off with great news, with a historic win stopping wall construction across Big Bend in Texas. Then came the news about the "Grandmother" Cottonwood tree in Arizona. After 71 days of protesting, the Border Agents arrested folks and killed the last remaining tree. Why? What the fuck! 🤬

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
