LD18 Democrats Arizona

Our humanity matters more than our differences.

Credit where credit is due. House Speaker Mike Johnson can spin fresh garbage about not swearing in newly-elected Arizona lawmaker Adelita Grijalva on cue and never miss a beat. The twisted sort of talent it takes to juggle these lies is truly a master class.

History proves it: 3.5% active resistance can topple tyranny. Imagine what happens when we hit their wallets, too.

Answer key: E. It’s always E. 🙄

• Legal showdown: Watch for fallout from Fontes’ refusal to hand over voter data to the DOJ.

• Voter registration push: Efforts to rebuild Democratic registration ahead of 2026 could spark new opportunities for local organizing.

• Project Blue: Keep an eye out for filings or decisions on power access and environmental reviews tied to the Pima County project.

AP really going for the hard-hitting headlines: Alive man not dead. Pulitzer-worthy. And in other news, water confirmed wet.

Epstein Victims Call for Release of More Documents and Accountability

97% of the documents received from the Department of Justice were already public. What’s missing? The client list.

Because apparently the only way these callous politicians remember we matter is if we make more noise than Trump’s golf cart.

Three years in, and our so-called “leaders” still can’t grasp the radical concept of protecting public health without a lobbyist Venmo’ing their favorite politician.

The FDA just updated its COVID vaccine guidance. Ugh! No surprise here! Access to healthcare is still being treated like a membership at Mar-a-Lago.

Today’s ‘emergency’ is tomorrow’s standard operating procedure. Emergencies end. Power grabs don’t.

President Donald Trump claimed he slashed prescription drug prices by “up to 1,500%.”

For the record, anything over 100% would mean pharmaceutical companies are now PAYING YOU to take the pills.

But hey. Numbers are tricky, right?

Just another day in gaslight nation. Where accountability gets fired and spin doctors get raises.

Featured Speaker: JoAnna Mendoza, Marine Corps Veteran, served in Iraq and Afghanistan, is now running for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District (CD6).

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations.

On July 17th, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are mobilizing to ensure #GoodTroubleLivesOn and carry John Lewis’ legacy forward.

www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...

Trump is set to sign away our healthcare, our rights, and what’s left of our democracy, tucked into the GOP’s shameless budget bill.

It’s July 4th.
But they don’t get the day.
Not the flag. Not the meaning of freedom.

Here in LD18, we’re still fighting.
Happy Independence Day.

Outraged, not surprised.
It’s the “Not See Party.”
They do NOT SEE poverty.
They do NOT SEE hunger.
They sure as hell do NOT SEE their own cruelty.
Willful ignorance is their brand.
And baby, business is booming!

Read The Billionaire Cage Match Is Cosplay. The Real Bloodbath Is the Budget Bill. now from Blog for Arizona for Politics from a Liberal Viewpoint Let me save you some scrolling: the Trump-Musk feud is not real. It’s political theater. It’s two mega-wealthy blowhards playing out a fake fight in the spotlight while something much darker creeps…

Trump and Musk are not fighting. They’re performing. Classic misdirection. Loud, staged, and We the People always pay the price.

When a bill rewrites the rules to end the game, it’s not democracy—it’s a coup in legalese.
