Colorado River states fail to meet water deadline during 'extremely frustrating' negotiations Arizona and the six other states that use the Colorado River do not have a new plan to share the shrinking water supply.

The deadline came and went -- and there’s no deal on Colorado River water. KJZZ’s Alex Hager has been covering it all, and he joined The Show to talk about it.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have stained America’s credibility. ICE is a lawless agency that must be abolished.

The next Democratic president must act to restore the U.S. as a nation that delivers for its people and stands as a respected partner on the world stage.

If anyone said something this vile in any workplace, they’d be fired.

Rep. Randy Fine has repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence. It’s unacceptable.

Speaker Johnson should reprimand him immediately. And if Fine cannot meet the most basic standard of human dignity, he should resign.

This blatant Islamophobia is hateful and completely unacceptable, especially from a member of Congress.

ICE Out For Good Funding Fight Weekly Phonebank Β· Indivisible Our communities are being terrorized by masked federal agents. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people....

It’s time to turn up the pressure on the Republicans who are demanding more money for the regime’s secret police. Help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their GOP senators to demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for good.

Trump’s Version of β€œDomestic Terrorism” vs. the First Amendment The administration has given itself permission to prosecute people and organizations for their political views.

The president’s redefining of domestic terrorism threatens Americans’ free speech rights, from joining a protest march to posting on social media. It also aims to impose draconian punishments for actions that are far removed from actual terrorism. bit.ly/4qwExhh
