I can confirm the FBI has not raided or seized anything from @maricopacounty's election department.
As of right now the @jsolomonReports report is either a full throated lie, or something having to do with the recorder's office, which handles voter registration data.

12News has spent the morning tracking down this claim with credible sources. There is no evidence to support this claim of Maricopa County elections records being seized. If Congressman Hamadeh has other information, he should present it to the public.
In June last year, Congressman Hamadeh wrote to AG Bondi about disturbing allegations of blank ballots commingled with voted mail ballots in Runbeck's Maricopa County warehouse.
Part of the ongoing pattern of disastrous elections in State 48.
The FBI has now seized election records in its expanding probe.

JUST IN: Representative Ro Khanna has said that Congress must convene to vote on the War Powers Resolution introduced by him and Thomas Massie.
It would force members to take a stance on war in Iran.

BREAKING: Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, delivers the most scathing legal rebuke of the Trump era, ruling that Trump and his cabinet illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation to "strike fear" into First Amendment protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

If no more Republicans sign on, there’s a real possibility @AdelitaForAZ could be the final vote to release the Epstein files when she likely wins her special election later this month. #AZ07
While the headlines are on Charlie Kirk’s funeral, our scoop shows something else about Turning Point USA: Arizona’s ESA program is funneling taxpayer money into a school tied to the conservative organization. fourthestate48.substack.com/…
Since Arizona’s universal ESA expansion in 2022, schools tied to Trump rallies, Turning Point, and COVID protests have seen their taxpayer funding more than double.
The same groups blasting public schools for “indoctrination” are cashing in while pushing their own. 🔗 in bio.

Another interesting article from @fourthestate48
Are these schools more effective than district and charter schools? No one knows, they are not required to report financial or performance data and that needs to be fixed.

People need to be honest that distributors were fleeing his show because the FCC chair publicly threatened their licenses if they didn’t. The FCC chair IS a state actor, not a private actor. Tell the truth.

- @KarenAttiah, the last Black full-time opinion columnist at the Washington Post, says she was fired
Signatures to get on the ballot are usually due in April. So if Kelly ran for president and dropped out after the first few primaries (February), as many candidates do (Nikki Haley dropped out in March), he’d still have time to gather signatures for his 2028 re-election bid.
Scoop: Sen. Mark Kelly privately met with state legislators in South Carolina earlier today, the latest example he is preparing a potential 2028 WH run.
He also held a town hall focused on veterans and military families.

Too many people (and some media outlets) rush to post the first version of a story instead of the right one. The result? Dangerous misinformation — like claims the Kirk shooter was a “leftist.”
This is why it’s so important to verify before posting.
