Michael Bryan

I quote a famous Arizonan, the notorious Dick Tuck. Today, I haven’t much else to say. America had a choice: move forward and build on the greatest economic recovery from the pandemic crisis in the world, protect the lives and dignity of American women, protect our immigrant friends, neighbors and co-workers from persecution, and preserve … Read more

You Do Not Want Wendy Rogers, Mark Finchem, and Vince Leach Shaping Policy in the Arizona Legislature: Vote Blue on Tuesday

Pepper Provenzano

Shall we speak in terms the ex-president understands? He’s a born liar, a malignant narcissist, a shyster, a con, a carpetbagger, a carnival barker, a creep, a certifiable madman.
