Grijalva Battles Foreign Mining Giants to Cancel Oak Flat Mine Land Giveaway Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-CD7) launched her congressional career with a direct challenge to multinational mining corporations, introducing legislation that would block Rio Tinto and BHP from seizing 2,400 acres of sacred Apache land in Arizona's Tonto National Forest.​ The "Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act," filed today as Grijalva's first bill, aims to repeal a controversial 2014-2015 land swap tucked into a defense spending bill that would transfer the Oak Flat area to foreign-owned Resolution Copper for what would become one of North America's largest copper mines.

Hey, Bondi! Me! List me, you incompetent toe-licking twat!

Good to see Katie stand firm!

It was an absurd theory… so, totally normal for the GI.

Project Blue electricity plan approved, paving the way for controversial Tucson data center This latest proposal would use electricity from utility company Tucson Electric Power — or TEP — to power and cool off the facility, which would aim to be operational by 2027.

The Arizona Corporation Commission has approved the latest version of data center Project Blue in Tucson. The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the land sale of a 290-acre stretch of unincorporated land for the project earlier this year.

Well, duh. Anyone who thought that claque of 5 MAGA oligarch footstools would do ANYTHING to protect consumers isn’t paying any attention at all. 😴

Good luck being able afford your ACA coverage, folks! Thank Trump and MAGA for stripping your market subsidies!

Allowing our media to be controlled by a handful of corporations is simply bad for consumers and curtails the diversity of viewpoints and voices in our media, and thus is also bad for our democracy and culture. Support independent media!

Very important to halt this now.

Unnecessary suffering and premature death of our people is NOT a viable business model in a sane society.

Just another way to frustrate folks’ access to the care they need and deserve - and PAY for. When are we going to learn the lesson that for-profit health insurance is simply an insuperable moral hazard, and abolish it in favor of a non-profit and government run system of insurance?

One of the most promising new Reps nationally! She’s really nailing her messaging, leadership, and legislative roles. Proud that AZ voters were wise enough to elect her! 🤩

Here, kitty, kitty…😻🐆

Can I vote for Mayes for Governor in ‘30? I sure hope so… 😍

YouTube video by Cheyla Daverman LEFT UNCHECKED

I'm proud to be a part of this powerful documentary by ASU students Jason Farmer and Cheyla Daverman. Mobile homes heat up incredibly fast, and I won’t stand by while landlords take advantage of and endanger tenants.

It is truly disturbing that #SCrOTUS is accepting this case. There is literally NO Constitutional argument in favor of Trump’s position other than ‘because Trump said so’!
