This is such a loss for Arizona and our Country. Chair Raul Grijalva has been a champion for progressive change his entire life. From the School Board to Congress, his leadership and voice inspired so many. Myself included.
Rest in Power, Chairman Grijalva.

Call your senators and let them know if they join Schumer here you will never give them another dime or another vote and you’ll devote your time and money to anyone who primaries them.
If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.
Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

They don't care what scientist say, they don't care what experts say, and now . . .they don't care what their constituents have to say.
As I’ve been pointing out - what’s happening here in HB is what’s happening to our nation as a whole.
MAGA is not interested in listening to communities. MAGA only wants what makes themselves feel good, regardless of the cost to anyone else, and it will literally kill this country.

This is extremely disturbing rhetoric. Some may think that we could never lose gay marriage because of the bible-thumpers. I say that we thought abortion was safe and look at us now.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.
This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.
