Ajax (not actually TR's ghost)

@GovernorHobbs @SenMarkKelly @TIME Kelly is a turd. You are worse.

Huge congratulations to Arizona’s own @SenMarkKelly for being named @TIME Most Influential People. Senator Kelly has dedicated his life to serving his country. He’s been a fighter for Arizona in the Senate and I know he’ll continue being a champion for our state.

@DavidJHarrisJr This guy doesn't understand Islam

🚨Pope Leo: "Christians and Muslims can live together and be friends." Thoughts?

@TheJFreakinC We want ALL people who crossed our border illegally to leave.

🚨TWO Venezuelan doctors… Dr. Ezequiel Veliz and Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar… were detained by ICE agents, in South Texas this month. So yeah, let’s drop the “worst of the worst” narrative.

@phoenixnewtimes That guy sucks

A survey of Democratic voters suggested that Kelly is considered one of the most electable possible candidates. 🔗 More: phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-k…

@GovernorHobbs Ugh... you are a corrupt politician.

Today, I promised to veto all bills that come to my desk and again invited legislative Republicans to show their budget plans to the people of this state. I’m ready to talk, but I can’t negotiate with politicians who refuse to show the public their plans. The legislative majority needs to put forward their budget proposal and then join me in good faith negotiations so we can pass a bipartisan, balanced budget like we’ve done the past three years.

@DemzDeliver More lies from you. She didn't erase anything. Taxpayers paid off the debt.

🚨 Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs has now erased the medical debt of nearly 500,000 Arizonans.

@acnewsitics Why do you think this was DEI?

@TBlountNews We can't afford Democrats

Eric Swalwell has been in the public eye for 13 years. No one said a thing until he became the frontrunner for governor over two Republican candidates. This smells to high heaven.

@SenMarkKelly We can't afford tax-and-spend Democrats.

Arizonans are working hard and still struggling to pay for groceries, rent, and health care. Here's the thing—this didn't happen by accident. Trump and Washington Republicans had a choice and they chose tax cuts for rich people over lowering costs for everyone else. I'm going to keep fighting to fix that.

@PramilaJayapal You work for AMERICANS. NOT the Cuban government.

I just got back from Cuba and I want to tell you what I actually saw. Most of the country is blacked out up to 20 hours a day. Kids aren't in school. Pharmacies are closed and empty. An island of 11 million people brought to the breaking point by decades of American sanctions and a fuel blockade being carried out in your name. But there is a real opening right now. The Cuban government released 2,000 prisoners while we were there. They're ready to negotiate. Trump needs to end this Cold War-era cruelty once and for all.

@PramilaJayapal Communism sucks

@AZBlue22 Hobbs is a convicted racist and a coward.

She's going to be reelected quite easily I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt by this realization

@Rep_Grijalva @RepGregStanton @RepYassAnsari Reminder: you work for US citizens, not people from other countries who broke our laws and invaded our country

Myself, @RepGregStanton and @RepYassAnsari just finished a surprise oversight visit at a temporary ICE holding site in Mesa, AZ. We visited immediately after learning about credible reports of overcrowding and that is exactly what we saw. The conditions are horrific.

@RepSwalwell Too late... we already voted Biden out of office.

The President must be removed. If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

@Gabbar0099 Nah... the enemy is the one who chants, "Death to America!"

Absolutely correct 💯 Let that sink in.

@RubenGallego We can't afford Democrats

Almost half a million Arizonans have lost SNAP benefits thanks to Trumps “Big Beautiful Bill.” 180,000 KIDS going hungry because he and Republicans care more about tax cuts for billionaires. propublica.org/article/arizon…

@katieporterca We can't afford Democrats

If there was any doubt what this race is about, now it's certain: It's California values against MAGA. I'm running because voters are tired of the same old political games when the stakes are so much higher. They deserve a governor they can trust to fight for regular people, not just push policy agendas that only benefit corporate interests and the richest of the rich. I'm the only leading Democrat in this race who's never taken corporate PAC money or profited off corporate greed, and I've taken on Trump and his cronies and won.

@elonmusk Wow... that is a stunning amount of indoctrination.

This is nuts

@Adrian_Fontes Why do Democrats oppose clean elections?

I’m suing to protect your vote. Here’s why:

@shanaka86 Bye

Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one. A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it. The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link. General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.” Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon. Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone. Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
