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 theyβre forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
Theyβre an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

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. militaryβs 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.

"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.
