Last Week This Morning: A week at the leg
At the AZ Leg. What a week. Republicans passed two bills that would expand vouchers, draining public schools even further of needed funding. AZ GOP state legislators are attacking reproductive rights–a 15-week abortion ban passed the Arizona House, and a complete ban on the abortion pill was heard in committee. 100+ bills attacking democracy have been introduced this […]
Last Week This Morning: AZ Deserves a Better AG
Attacks on reproductive rights. As the Supreme Court weighs the reversal or weakening of Roe v Wade, Republicans at the AZ Legislature are wasting no time attacking reproductive rights in full force.

Last Week This Morning: We can’t go back

Last Week This Morning: Cut the crap
The GOP delusion is dangerous. Some members of the AZ GOP continue to operate under belief in the Big Lie—like AZ state senator Wendy Rogers. Republicans in the Legislature are now continuing their anti-voter attackswith a new slate of laws based on Trump’s baseless lies about the 2020 election. Of course, many of these bills could have been […]

Sinema blocks voting rights legislation. On Wednesday, Senator Kyrsten Sinema allowed the Freedom to Vote: John R.

Backlash was swift, as groups pulled support from Sinema in response, and on Saturday the Arizona Democratic Party voted […]
Last Week This Morning: Deliver for Voting Rights Rally
For democracy, or against. On Saturday, members of the King family marched in Phoenix with Arizonans in support of ending the filibuster and passing federal voting rights legislation. Senator Kyrsten Sinema continues to stand in the way by supporting the filibuster, and gave a speech reiterating her position on the Senate floor on Thursday. Voting rights legislation […]
Last Week This Morning: It’s now or never on the filibuster
Preparing for a filibuster showdown. The US Senate will vote by January 17 on whether to change the Jim Crow filibuster, which is currently blocking progress on voting rights and many other issues. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin remain the key swing votes. Omicron hits Arizona. The Omicron variant now accounts for the vast majority of COVID-19 […]
Last Week This Morning: Joe is a no
Manchin says no. Build Back Better appears to be indefinitely stalled in the U.S. Senate, with Senator Joe Manchin today issuing a statement that he would not vote for the bill. Sinema also recently gave an interview where she would not commit to voting yes, despite the package being massively popular in Arizona. This means that Congress will go […]
Last Week This Morning: Wine tasting at Sinema’s
The 2020 election is verified. But Republican leaders in Arizona still refuse to accept the facts. More than a year later, they have continued to insist that the 2020 election results were false, despite their candidate losing fair and square. Some Arizona Republicans even took it as far as to participate in the January 6th insurrection, all part […]
