Big in Arizona: The utility board that runs energy-related policy in the Phoenix region has flipped to a 'clean energy' slate that was running against a conservative slate.
TPUSA invested very heavily in this.

@hopecorefan It effectively folded after the 2022 cycle (arguably during). May still exist on a piece of paper somewhere.

@elium2 Speaking of special groups, is the CoOp still around or did it ate dust?

My gut tells me this whole thing is going to flame out hilariously. Maybe win one or two races. But we'll see what I think after qualifying.

There’s a move afoot to revive the property tax bill, just scale it back. Some peeved House Republicans see it as a hollow victory if so, feeling betrayed by Senate GOP leaders. Folks are setting up betting pools over how quickly Speaker Burns will endorse Rick Jackson. #gapol

Happening now: House leaders are huddling to figure out next steps after the Georgia Senate rejected a property tax bill that would have capped the growth of school and local government levies at 3% a year. #gapol

So some personal news…
In May, I’ll be leaving @Globe_RI to join the @BostonGlobe's business desk in Boston to cover retail, the consumer economy, and restaurants.
After more than five years in Rhode Island, it’s bittersweet, but I’m excited for my next challenge.

NEW — One case left from the October sitting: Callais v. Louisiana.
Alito is the only justice without an opinion so far. A narrowing of Section 2 of the VRA looks certain — real question is how far the Court goes.
At this point, any ruling likely comes too late to affect 2026.

BREAKING — In Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court of the United States rules 8–1 that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy is viewpoint-based regulation of speech and should face stricter judicial scrutiny. Ketanji Brown Jackson is the lone dissenter.

@DBOERS39 @NilesGApol Clerks of court, tax commissioners, solicitors, and (lol) surveyors are partisan
English
@NilesGApol It also exempts the county commission. All the other offices are already non-partisan, so they’re ultimately isn’t a constitutional issue by doing it through general law.
English
@NilesGApol that clause prohibits counties from legislating on this matter and reserves the power to the General Assembly

J.K. Rowling says HBO's #HarryPotter series "is going to be incredible" after the first trailer drops: "I’m so happy with it." Twenty minutes earlier, Rowling celebrated the Olympics' decision to ban transgender women from competing in women’s events by writing: “Today’s ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I’ll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.” Rowling was referring to the Olympics decision to allow Algeria’s Imane Khelif to compete in the women’s boxing competition at the Paris 2024 summer games, one year after Khelif was disqualified from the Women’s World Championships for failing a gender eligibility test due to elevated levels of testosterone in her system. Rowling denounced the Olympics at the time. Khelif was born female. variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…
