@LisaDNews Urgh, radio is still the best way to reach large numbers of people fast. Their loss, ABC's and NPR's gain.

Wow. Historic. Iconic. NEW YORK (AP) — CBS News says it is shutting down its radio news service after nearly a century of operation.

The Goodyear Police Department’s digital evidence logs are so fouled up that a high-profile a child murder case is now jeopardized. Story by @PerryVandell via @azcentral azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

@RonMwangaguhung @JakeSherman Caning to be precise.

@JakeSherman I can't believe they are debating about the merits of dueling

If Rand is a no and every other Republican is a yes, Mullin would need a Dem to support him to get out of committee and to the floor. Fetterman has said he would support him.

Judge reinstates more than 1,000 government journalists fired by Kari Lake. She not only failed to provide a ‘reasoned analysis’ for her decisions, the judge said: “there is an absence of any analysis whatsoever.” Story by @ronaldjhansen via @azcentral azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

@HenriettaGreat @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az @grok @azcentral I cover tribes and tribal issues, not international issues. Please take a look at my stories. I'm just reporting facts including Resolutions statements on the mine .

POTUS Trump had no choice but take out radical terrorist sponsor regime in Iran. Other presidents cost American lives not having the necessary strength, love of this country and its citizens. Bargaining with Iran for decades was an unacceptable and abysmal failure. You should really read a history book. Obama denied Ukraine their appropriated armaments. He didn’t really-really care. What did you write about all of that?

Dear Native Americans, here @andybiggs4az brags about helping a foreign corporation to defile your sacred holy land! Andy is not fit to represent you as AZ Governor!

@HenriettaGreat @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az I answered this. Please read my stories

@tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az Obama did it …

@grablekelly05 @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az And it did bypass consultation because, midnight rider. Every time it came up through the usual process it was voted down please go read my nine years of coverage on it

Excuse me. I think you have this all backwards. This is who signed the bill to allow it. President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015 into law on December 19, 2014, which included a provision (Section 3003) authorizing the land exchange for Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, effectively allowing the mining project to move forward after environmental reviews.   This was a rider attached to the must-pass defense bill, despite opposition from some quarters, including Indigenous groups who argued it bypassed proper consultation.

@grablekelly05 @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az Does nobody read my stories? That was spliced onto the defense bill at midnight to avoid debate. That's because it kept getting voted down in open session. For 10 years

@beria_pavlovich @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az I just think people should know all the facts. We've also reported what Resolution has to say about the project.

Dear Native Americans, Legislation to facilitate the land exchange passed with bipartisan support in December 2014. The land exchange involves the transfer of more than 5,400 acres of environmentally and culturally sensitive land containing special status species and Native American cultural sites for inclusion in National Forests and National Conservation Areas to the USFS and Bureau of Land Management, and in return Resolution has received over 2,400 acres of land adjacent to the historic Magma Copper mine.

@beria_pavlovich @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az And as I told you earlier, that bill languished for 10 years before MCCain got it stuck onto a must pass defense bill in what's called a midnight rider. Presidents know they have to sign them. I can't tell you if he wanted it just that he had no choice but to sign it

@HenriettaGreat @tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az @grok It was because the land swap was spliced onto a must pass defense bill at midnight in December 2014. Obama had no choice but to sign it because, defense appropriations. You should really read my oak flat stories in @azcentral.w

@tomryanlaw @andybiggs4az @grok ~~> FACT~~> It was signed by Barack Hussein Obama in 2014 and upheld by the 9th Circuit on March 23, 2026.

@bluecorncomics Why didn't you rt MY story which was first with all the info???

Huffman called the land transfer a "human rights violation, an environmental disaster in the making, and a multibillion-dollar giveaway to foreign mining companies." The mine will create a crater more than 1,000 feet deep and up to two miles across. cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2026/03/16/res…

@Hanner66 Ken and i are just done with them

@Debkrol Good point. That was Al Caponeish. I'm apparently not as observant as I used to be. Or just beaten down by lawyer ads.

Hastings and Hastings sidekick is sporting new specs. Still looks like an ambulance chasing lawyer though

@Omgitsfknbarbie @Rep_Grijalva I sure wish you all would have read the NINE years of coverage I've done on Oak Flat.

@Rep_Grijalva Fun fact its not tribal land, managed by U.S forest Services as FEDERAL PUBLIC LAND, not tribal reservation land. This lawsuit has been going on since 2014. Obama signed legislation dec 2014 to allow for the mining to happen.

@krista11024 @Rep_Grijalva I just like to make sure people have all the facts

@Rep_Grijalva It’s such a shame that bipartisan Congress and Obama chose to push this through.

@krista11024 @Rep_Grijalva It was a late night rider to a must pass defense bill that happened after Resolution tried for 10 years to get a bill passed through the usual channels. No president has ever been able to veto one of those

@beria_pavlovich @Rep_Grijalva You should read my account of how that really went down, it's at @azcentral. You'll be shaking your head
