April 18, 2019
Arizona Rep. David Schweikert (R-CD6) has seen his campaign committee sink underwater, owing more money than it has on hand, as his legal expenses climbed to $583,000 as a result of a year-long ethics investigation.

The Founding Fathers would have already impeached Donald Trump
April 18, 2019
While we are awaiting the release of Attorney General William Barr’s redacted version of the Mueller Report later today, I strongly recommend this op-ed from presidential historian and co-author of “Impeachment: An American History,” Jeffrey Engel, in the Washington Post for proper context.

#AZHouse Democrats Force Vote on #ERA

An ‘imperial president’ compromised by and doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia
April 17, 2019
When Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution (also known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973 or the War Powers Act) (50 U.S.C. 1541–1548), a federal law intended to check the president’s power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress, it naively assumed that a vote … Read more
