How do you spell sore loser? G-O-P

Cochise County certifies. Officials in Cochise County finally certified their election results following an order from a Superior Court judge. The two Republicans on the Cochise County Board of Supervisors had refused to certify the results by the legal deadline, as part of the GOP’s ongoing attempt to spread conspiracy theories about our elections. Ironically, Cochise County voted overwhelmingly […]

Props 308 passed!

Arizona says no election deniers. Kari Lake and Blake Masters both lost their elections after voters all across the state rejected their hateful MAGA agendas. Katie Hobbes has won her election as the governor-elect, and Mark Kelly will continue representing Arizona in the U.S. Senate. It’s clear that Arizonans demand actual solutions from their elected leaders, not […]

Read Up On Your Voting Rights

Voter intimidation. Voting rights groups are calling on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate voter intimidation in Arizona. As a result of the conspiracy theories spread by Donald Trump and his fellow election deniers, armed groups have been carrying out vigilante surveillance at election drop boxes, a move that is clearly meant to threaten voters. There have also been […]

AZ GOP is sending their WORST

AZ GOP sending their worst. Last week, Randy Kauffman, a Republican candidate for a local community college board, was arrested for masturbating within view of a preschool. Arizona Republicans have, of course, refused to condemn him.

Everything is on the line

Trump knew he lost. The January 6th committee conducted another hearing on Thursday, which concluded with a unanimous vote to subpoena Trump after damning testimony. While lying to his supporters that the election was stolen and telling them to invade the Capitol, aides said that Trump privately admitted that he lost on multiple occasions. And despite being warned of […]

Abortion access in Arizona

Arizona Near Total Abortion Ban. On Friday evening, one Pima County Superior Court judge lifted an injunction on abortion, and allowed the pre-statehood abortion ban to become law. The Pima County judge ruled that this draconian law would take place instead of the 15-week ban that was originally supposed to take effect on Saturday. An abortion ban from the Civil War […]

Cops and Heat

Republicans run on racism. Immigration has long been a go to issue for Republicans to weaponize in order to divide Arizonans, and this election cycle is no different. Candidates like Blake Masters and Abe Hamadeh have used white supremacist “invasion” conspiracy theory rhetoric to justify their agenda to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border. At a recent rally, Kari Lake went […]

Celebrating wins for Arizonans ?

Anti-voter bill put on hold. On Thursday, a federal judge halted the enforcement of a voter suppression law passed by Arizona Republicans. This was just one of over 100 anti-voter bills introduced last legislative session, all part of the GOP’s effort to subvert our elections systems after Trump lost in 2020. The law could have purged thousands of voters from […]
