Today's my first day at the @ArizonaAgenda! I’ll be covering the antics of Arizona’s legislature as a watchdog at the state Capitol. Thank you for all the words of encouragement — I’m so excited to start this new adventure. Send tips/say hi at nicole@arizonaagenda.com. 🌵 📰

New @ArizonaDES numbers for April are out: Arizona’s SNAP enrollment dropped 52% since July, when new “Big Beautiful Bill” restrictions took effect. That includes about 474,000 people and 205,000 children.

In the case of @bradlmiller v the Pinal County Board of Supervisors: the judge gives a ruling from the bench. Kills motion to dismiss and says the County Attorney overstepped his authority by entering a 287(g) agreement to partner with ICE. Permanently enjoins Miller

The report also noted that @RealTomHorne used $10 million from the Arizona Legislature to promote the ESA program instead of using the money to hire additional auditors. Horne has blamed Gov. @katiehobbs for not giving him enough staff to crack down on fraud.
Craig Harris@CraigHarrisNews

@RealTomHorne The report further stated that the @azedschools failed to act on fraud-detection assistance offered by ClassWallet, the private company that processes ESA claims. Report indicates ClassWallet provided @RealTomHorne with numerous examples of parents who misused ESA funds.

GOP Sen. J.D. Mesnard has been working at the Arizona Capitol in some form for 25 years.  We asked him about his long tenure, his taste in music and if he wants to smoke weed with us. arizonaagenda.com/p/q-a-the-sena…

Here's what happened today: GOP lawmakers transmitted their budget to Hobbs. She killed it (at 5:43 pm). The House is off until June 1. Senate will be on break from May 11-June 1. Montenegro and Hobbs confirm she has reached out to set up budget meetings again. Is it Friday yet?

DES’s updated March numbers put the total at nearly 460K Arizonans disenrolled from SNAP since H.R.1 took effect. Wisehart acknowledges that DES didn’t find that many ineligible people. arizonaagenda.com/p/the-truth-be…
Capitol Media Services 📢 Telling it like it is@azcapmedia

So here's the question: How many of the 400,000 who lost food stamps in AZ were because of agency staffing and funding or just problems with HR 1 and how many should never have been getting benefits in the first place? #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tucson.com/news/state-reg…

Nearly half a million Arizonans lost SNAP benefits. It's easy to blame Trump. But the real reason for the state’s massive drop ishow Arizona chose to enforce his new rules. arizonaagenda.com/p/the-truth-be…

Today: Arizona @GovernorHobbs pledges to veto all bills that land on her desk until the @AZHouseGOP and @AZSenateGOP show her a budget plan. “Arizonans deserve more than these political games," Hobbs said. The budget deadline is July 1.

Tucson Police had access to some of this tech. They purchased it using the state's Border Security fund. In documents provided to the Mirror they talked about using it to monitor protests and large scale events. azmirror.com/2025/10/29/tpd…

For those confused about the @SRPconnect results, here's a visual aid made by yours truly. By picking up two at-large board seats and three acreage seats (4, 6 & 8) the clean energy team edged out @TPUSA to claim an 8 to 6 majority on the 14-seat energy board. @AzCapitolTimes
