I usually wait 'til all ballots are counted before ever claiming victory or defeat, but the numbers being what they are, it's certainly appropriate to do so now. 1️⃣/

These are U.S. citizens — they always had the legal right to vote. But you nearly disenfranchised them and took their rights away by wrongly labeling them non-citizens when you had no authority to do so. That is unconscionable. But tell yourself whatever you need to hear.
For once we agree @AZAGMayes your lawsuit was a waste of time. You spent four weeks refusing to provide the citizenship verification we requested. Then you went to court, provided exactly what I asked for, and agreed to dismiss your own lawsuit. This isn't your victory lap, it's a concession speech with confetti.
"Hold a vote on Medicare for all." @HouseDemocrats . . . ya'll gotta be better than this. At least a handful of us are still literate and possess critical thinking skills.
Professor Bender was my Con Law I professor in the Spring of 2006. I had that class on 4/10/2006 but told him the Friday before that I was ditching class to go participate in the march in downtown Phoenix. He smiled his approval and said he understood. He was a great guy.

ESA Legal Update: @12News and @AZTreasurerYee head back to court at 8 a.m. tomorrow before Judge Whitten for our ESA public records dispute. The Treasurer through December spent $118,404 to prevent us from getting detailed ESA spending records. Cont…..

To God we belong, and to God we return. We have learned from @CAIRSanDiego that at least one person was killed by a shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego today. May Allah grant him the highest rank of Paradise and protect everyone from harm.
No one should ever fear for their safety while attending prayers or studying at an elementary school. We are working to learn more about this incident and we encourage everyone to keep this community in your prayers.

Arizona Senate Democrats are following the situation at the San Diego Islamic Center closely. While details are sparse, we are hearing that at least one person has lost their life. Moments like these remind us how vulnerable communities can be prone to acts of violence and fear. We applaud the swift response of authorities to contain the situation and protect lives. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted. We know the trauma and fear incidents like this can cause for communities already carrying the weight of hate and violence.

This anti-DEI fervor by 2 candidates wishing to lead the dep't of education is so ridiculously anti-intellectual. The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity, and the opposite of inclusion is exclusion. That's not a world intelligent people want.
When IS the appropriate time for Republicans to discuss race or the disparate racial impact of policies? My suspicion is never.
The Executive Board of the Maricopa County Republican Committee voted last night to condemn mailers and statements by Rep. David Schweikert’s AZ gubernatorial campaign, I’m told. (He is locked in a primary against Rep. Andy Biggs.)
“False and lazy accusations of racism and white supremacy have no place in a Republican primary, MCRC statement says. “These claims represent desperate Democrat-style politics that substitute character smears for honest debate over policy and governance. We are disappointed that a fellow Republican would resort to such tactics rather than engage in the substantive contest of ideas that Republican voters expect and deserve.” Background, by @azfamily’s Dennis Welch: azfamily.com/2026/03/11/rep-…
And now they've essentially admitted that their DINO process and vote against me was steeped in racism, Islamophobia and ignorance at the same time.
The lawmaker who proposed this designation has said that an anti-Muslim hate group helped him with it, has called Muslim's "fucking savages" and has based the accusations on decades old claims that critics have called "constitutionally questionable."

This is pathetic. They know that their HCM is steeped in racism, Islamophobia and ignorance so they're trying to deflect/justify it with their hatred and fear of me - because they know I will hand any one of them their asses in a legitimate debate about any of these issues.
So, @CAIRAZ did a public records request for video of all who exited the hearing. No-one was harassed, threatened or escorted out by security. He's further perpetuating an anti-Muslim narrative. #HCM2002 being debated in #AZHouse #CommitteeOfTheWhole this afternoon. @CAIRNational

Warren Petersen and Steve Montenegro wasted taxpayer dollars siding against the Arizona Constitution and against the will of voters who enshrined the right to abortion by passing Prop 139.
Today, we beat them in court.

Those who claim, for instance, that “this is not the America I know,” are inadvertently admitting that they didn’t consider the injustices inflicted upon Black people and racial minorities as disqualifying
