🚨SENATE ALERT: Democrats are closing in. Silver Bulletin gives Dems a 76% chance to win the Senate—with strong leads in NC, GA and NH, and competitive races across OH, ME, MI, MN, AK and TX. But Republicans are flooding the airwaves with money to stop the blue wave. Vote early. Finish the job. 🔵

He is the 1st HERO from this illegal war!! They are trying to silence him! He has been in solitary for months! They want us to forget about him. We can't do that. He gave up his freedom for all of us. Let's stand up for him. #FreeMajorWatson

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Stephanie Simacek taught in Arizona public schools, won a school board seat in 2022, then flipped a House seat in 2024. Amelia Gallitano-Mendel spent nearly a decade treating veterans w/PTSD and training future doctors. Both earned trust before they asked for it. LD02 has a strong ticket this year.

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

Remember when I said this was the most pro-cancer administration in my lifetime, at *least*? Listen, if there's one thing I'm gonna be, it's *right* 👇🏽

This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.

AZ educators are raising major concerns about Prop. 320, which would force school districts to spend 60% of their budgets on “direct” instruction. Without adding new funding, educators warn the mandate could force budget cuts to essential support staff like counselors, nurses, and literacy coaches.

coppercourier.com‘Quite frankly being tricked’: Arizona educators fear Prop 320 could mean fewer nurses, counselors in schoolsA teacher, a school counselor, and the head of Arizona’s school nurses group say Prop 320 would cut the staff who keep students in class, and might even shrink teacher pay.
