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...

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

Federal agents swarmed a protest encampment today, arresting a dozen people and allowing contractors to remove a live protester from, then cut down, an ancient, giant cottonwood "Grandmother Tree" to make way for border wall construction. Protesters had been at the site near Lochiel, AZ for 71 days.
