Tucson needs to stop working with and trusting these Phoenix based groups just because they have money and resources. They dont understand our politics in Tucson. This smells like sabotage now.

What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

Gotta love how espn hasn't shown the up and down travel that wasnt called once. That play flipped the game and gave Kansas momentum when they should've been down 3 with 10 min left. If the roles were reversed you best believe theyd be showing that replay and highlighting the non-call that changed

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
