Beautiful photos of Arizona's monsoon by our very own Storm Chasers. See the images as the photographers talk about how they captured the moment on the recently posed YouTube video of my Climate Tucson meeting June 29.

The Republicans have a knack for long-term planning. Wonder how much of what we're seeing is part of the script.

Congress voted in 2020 to ban Trump from attacking Iran without Congressional approval, but he vetoed it - and they didn’t have 2/3 to override the veto.

Trump is looking at national monuments to rip apart for his digging and drilling and otherwise wanton destruction of natural beauty. If it isn't gilded gold or black gold, destroy it. This photo is part of Ironwood Park north of Tucson, a rare and beautiful expanse of pure desert.
