What Else is New: Trump Uses Tragedy to Advance Anti Immigrant-White Nationalist Agenda
As everyone is probably aware, tragedy struck Washington D.C. the day before Thanksgiving when two National Guardsmen doing their job were gunned down by 29 year old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan Refugee, husband, and father of five, who did work for the C.I.A. during the war in that country and entered the United States in 2021. The second Trump government granted his aslyum request earlier in the year.

Trump Wants to Brand the Dumpster He Set on Fire
Every time you think we’ve scraped the bottom of the absurdity barrel, Donald Trump shows up with a shovel. Now he wants to rename the Republican Party after himself, as if the last near-decade hasn’t been one long, unpaid internship in flattering his ego. I say, let him. Seriously. Just accept the inevitable. The GOP hasn’t acted like a political party in years.

Gerrymandering redux
[This article was co-written with retired attorney Jay Simpson.]Arizona is unlikely to follow Texas in its mid-decade redistricting (the latter is now in the courts), particularly since our Republican-dominated legislature must contend with a Democratic governor. Our state’s approach to setting district maps is better than some others, but it could be improved further, reducing the chance for gerrymandering.

This is Because of Donald Trump’s Vision for America: House Democrats Launch Oversight Immigration Dashboard
The stories and accounts of what the Trump/Vance Project 2025 Fascist-Authoritarian Regime is doing to illegal immigrants, people who are in the nation legally, and American Citizens because, thanks to the Conservative Majority on the United States Supreme Court, of what they look like, is voluminous. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month are reports of innocent people being pulled off the nation's streets or courthouses by masked ICE-Gestapo thugs without proper due process and detained in either existing detention facilities or recently constructed Trump donor owned domestic concentration camps.

While Pete Hegseth Launches Baseless Retribution Investigations, Senator Mark Kelly is Working to Protect Americans From Trump’s Unregulated A.I. Growth
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is a real thorn in the side of MAGA world. Earlier this year, Kelly was called a "traitor" by Trump puppet master Elon Musk because of his support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. Coincidentally, Trump minion posing as diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff came under fire last week by Democrats and Republicans for his 28 point peace plan to end the war on terms that mostly favored Russia.
