Lawsuit against Fontes seeks to reverse Arizona Independent Party name change A new lawsuit filed Tuesday seeks to void the name change of the Arizona Independent Party, arguing it will cause widespread voter confusion.

That would mean the general election ballot may have more of a far-R candidate and far-D candidate, along with an "Arizona Independent Party" candidate... Will be interesting to see how this goes. Read @camrynsanchez.bsky.social latest: www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

You're now a member of the Arizona Independent Party, which in AZ means you will can only get that party's ballot in the primary. This is key because it pulls independent-minded voters/moderates out of R & D primaries, maybe giving extreme candidates an advantage in primaries...

The fight over changing "No Labels Party" to "Arizona Independent Party" is important to pay attention to especially for Congressional races. If you're new to AZ, registering to vote and see "Arizona Independent Party" you might think it means you'll be unaffiliated but really...

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Woman deported from Maryland shown on video being dragged in Ghana Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

"a country she said she had never been to...."

Yikes! Trump’s SHOCKING Pardon IGNITES Global OUTRAGE
YouTube video by Katie Phang Yikes! Trump’s SHOCKING Pardon IGNITES Global OUTRAGE

Trump announces a β€œfull and unconditional” pardon for Juan Orlando Hernandez, a former president of Honduras sentenced to 45 years for drug trafficking and weapons offenses.

My latest on Trump’s continued abuse of the presidential pardon power:

US admiral to retire amid military strikes in Caribbean and tensions with Venezuela Alvin Holsey just took over the US southern command late last year for a position that normally lasts three years

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

DOGE killed dozens of grants that supported women workers Advocates say the cancellations will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobsβ€”and may violate the law.

DOGE may no longer exist, but the damage the agency inflicted continues to live on. One of its biggest casualties? Dozens of grants that supported women workers.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.

NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.

DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

A New Era of Crony Capitalism Washington hasn’t seen graft like this for at least a century.

Swiss businessmen gave Trump an engraved gold bar worth more than $130,000. Then he agreed to cut tariffs on Swiss imports.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to β€œput your hands up, stupid!”

These kids are traumatized

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.
