ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

State of the State, tax cuts, Greenland, Jerry Sheridan saying things that sound normal (briefly), and the homewrecker law. I enjoyed unpacking the slow news week on @politicsunplugged.bsky.social with Marcus Dell'Artino and host @dwelch.bsky.social.

On the @politicsunplugged.bsky.social podcast, we focused on the Democratic primary in NY's Mayoral race and discussed messaging strategies for Dems in upcoming elections. Had a great time chatting with Joe Wolf and host @dwelch.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twiw...

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, honoring my grandmother Pat Whaley—award-winning editorial writer for the Wausau Daily Herald & briefly USA Today. I never met her, but her impact lives on in letters from readers & officials. A free press is vital to democracy.

Hi. It’s me. Former child recipient of a dead parent’s social security - a program my Dad paid into his entire life + was never able to use but was critical to keeping our family housed + fed. Not fraud, just a smart way to give kids a chance to succeed. PS that helps everybody

Lots of issues in AZ. Is renaming a highway a priority? How about bounty hunter bills for undocumented immigrants from a legislator who used immunity to dodge a speeding ticket?

Egg prices are up. To get them down, Trump needs to tackle bird flu. Given his pandemic response track record, maybe he'll suggest bleach injections for birds. Watch the full Politics Unplugged segment here with @dwelch.bsky.social. www.azfamily.com/video/2025/0...

🛑 Stop taking the bait on Canada, Greenland, Panama. It’s designed for flood the zone distraction and takes focus away from the upcoming confirmation hearings. Stay focused. Happy Friday!

"There was nothing inevitable about where we are today. In key moments key Republicans said that Jan. 6 was not a big deal, or even a positive event...American democracy seems to be of such little value to many of its leaders that they did nothing to defend it." open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Jan. 6 and the path not taken

At key moments, Republicans were unwilling to defend democracy

The Trump strategy has always been to flood the zone and exhaust voters with constant chaos. The Lake appointment noise is no different. My full exchange on @azfamily.com with @politicsunplugged.bsky.social and Marcus Dell’artino here: bit.ly/4iBMsHw

There is a lot that Democrats need to work on ahead of the midterms but our most glaring challenge is the voter registration gap in Arizona. Read my op-ed here in @azcentral.bsky.social: www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

azcentral.com

As a Democratic strategist, I know exactly why we lost Arizona

Democrats' giant Arizona election losses were years in the making. Voters left us, and too few who stayed were motivated to vote.
