As seen in the @washingtonpost, today, @CatoInstitute and @scottlincicome released the annual ranking of state freedom. Arizona is #1. The study takes into account different indicators of economic and personal freedom -- ranging from, e.g., occupational licensure, to taxes, to medical freedom, to free speech, to educational choice. Lots of neat data and mappings of the data available here: cato.org/freedom-50-states/2… And here's the Washington Post article: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Everybody, including people who are unhoused, wants and deserves to be safe. Instead of Trump and his administration using their power to attack homeless people, politicians should focus on achieving true safety, which starts with ensuring that everybody has resources, housing and their basic needs met.

Arizona's largest law firm, Snell & Wilmer, is suing Phoenix on behalf of its data center client, WBR, over the City’s ability to protect neighborhoods from the negative impacts of data centers. Today, we won an important partial victory in the case. There’s more work to do, but Phoenix will continue to work to protect our residents and ensure that when data centers are built, it’s done safely.

Took my friend, @gretchenwhitmer, to one of the best Sonoran-style taco shops in the Valley! 🌮

Over great tacos, we talked about rising costs and how Washington’s tariffs are impacting small businesses across the country.  Here in Arizona, I’ve cut taxes, strengthened our small businesses, and fought hard to give them the support they need so that neighborhood favorites like Taco Viva can thrive.

As mayor of Mesa, I watched Andy Biggs put his extreme political agenda ahead of good-paying jobs in his own district. I also saw Katie Hobbs consistently put Arizona first. That’s why I’m proud to be on her ticket this November.

Hmmm what dems are you speaking with? We have tried to address the root cause. -Guns in the wrong hands -Addressing mental illness -Having safe guards in the home. Let’s talk. Not blame.
Another school shooting. Instead of addressing the root cause of gun violence, Dems only push will be to “take the guns” which just isn’t feasible or constitutional. Instead, we should be addressing what drives children to harm others. Cultural rot is real & has devastating consequences. Pray for these families and for this country.

🚨 PRESS RELEASE: Arizona families need relief. No political spin can pay the grocery bill. As Trump visits Bullhead City, AZ Senate Democrats demand action for families struggling to afford basic needs, while Republican legislators keep backing his agenda. More than 450,000 Arizonans, including nearly 196,000 children, lost food assistance as Arizona implemented his “Big Beautiful Bill.” That’s nothing to celebrate.

This is sickening and inhumane! Those responsible for allowing these conditions are showing a disturbing disregard for human life and dignity. No one should be subjected to relentless alarms and sleep deprivation. Cruelty is not enforcement. It’s an abuse of power, and those responsible must be held accountable!

I literally sat here and cried with sadness and anger. No woman should have to go through this alone. We are here for you Bernadette! Go win this thing! Get to congress!
I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear this news, and I’m thinking of Bernadette and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We cannot tolerate political or sexual violence in any form. Those responsible must be held accountable. Thank you for speaking out, Bernadette. We're with you. phoenixnewtimes.com/news/con…

Even when federal orders are breaking the law? 2 wrongs don’t make a right. You’re off to a bad start Sine; which doesn’t exist anyway. #VoteHobbsGiles
"It is federal law that we cooperate with ICE." Republican lieutenant governor candidate Sine Kerr said she and running mate Andy Biggs will not "break the law" by interfering with ICE. She also went a step further. She said they would encourage Arizona's law enforcement agencies to enter into 287(g) agreements with ICE.

That would be a yes
At Maine Senate debate, Susan Collins was asked if she would stand with Trump if he visited Maine "I don’t think President Trump is going to come to Maine... I’ve heard nothing from his office." Moderator: Yes or no? "I would say that he is not coming to Maine."

Trump’s private army is racially profiling and detaining hundreds of U.S. citizens. November is coming. We need to vote his party out of office.
The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD ⬇️
