For months, a document with an explosive, unproven sexual assault claim about AG hopeful Rodney Glassman has been passed among politicos.
Last week, supporters of Warren Petersen, Glassman's GOP primary rival, publicized it.

Every Arizona representative voted to strip pesticide companies using glyphosate of liability immunity in lawsuits. Except two.
Andy Biggs wasn't there but said he would have voted yes.
David Schweikert voted to protect pesticide companies.

ICE agents were all over Sky Harbor on Monday. They...just kind of stood around.
More from @morgfisch, who talked to travelers -- nervous, supportive, indifferent -- and TSA union leaders, who said no one told TSA employees about the ICE deployment.

The 911 audio from Christian Diaz Rendon's killing is awful.
You hear his kids' terror as a gunman enters the house. Then relief as they tell police that their dad had subdued him.
Finally, you hear their anguish as a Phoenix cop shoots their dad dead.

Last week, we asked Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller if he used Signal. He said no. We asked if Signal was on his phone. He said no.

The wife of Kyrsten Sinema's bodyguard is suing the former Senator for breaking up her marriage.
Last year, Sinema spoke with @phoenixnewtimes about the man as her inspiration behind her advocacy for a bill to fund psychedelic drug research in Arizona.

EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of her reelection launch today, I spoke with @RepYassAnsari to reflect on her first year.
Ending private, for-profit ICE detention centers is a top priority for Ansari, who has witnessed their "horrific" conditions firsthand.

NEW: Last year, after signing up for ICE's 287(g) program, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office got a $1M grant.
It included $250K seemingly set aside for Sheriff Mark Dannels -- a Trump supporter -- to travel to conferences held at resorts and casinos:

Years ago, border czar Tom Homan saved undocumented immigrants from deportation in Phoenix.
Then came Trump. Now Homan's former colleagues don't recognize the cruel man -- "Hulk Homan," one calls him -- that he's become.

He is. It’s sad.
The super PAC New Yorkers for Better Leadership is holding a call with reporters to highlight negative parts of Cuomo's record. @NYSenatorRivera calls him a "petty, vengeful, narcissistic man" and says he's a bad governor and "trying to rewrite history."

This is what abandoning the working class looks like: Opposing amendments to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision & hearing; cut drug prices by 50%; & expand the Child Tax Credit; & supporting fossil fuel giveaways all to appease Joe Mansion. Yes. I think about this day a lot:
