Arizona voters elected a serious attorney general in 2022.

She's gone after the Trump world election fraud scams in a big, big way, charging major pols, lawyers, et al in the fake elector scheme.

Looks like the Arizona Republic wisely dropped its paywall on this huge story.

“The Arizonans now facing charges include powerful & influential GOP figures: a former Repub Party of chair; a Repub nat committeeman & executive at & its political arm; & two sitting state — one of whom retains immense political power at the Arizona .”

"The modern #GOP is supposed to be pro-family, pro-tax-cuts and anti-“waste, fraud and abuse.” So why are #Republican #senators trying to tank a bill that is all three?

In January, lawmakers hammered out a kids-and-companies #tax deal: #Congress would extend a few business tax breaks that had recently expired in exchange for expanding the #ChildTaxCredit. The bipartisan compromise turned out to be a very good bill"

"Some #senators allege more substantive concerns...

He and his #Senate colleague Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) have also complained about the bill’s cost.

Specifically — it’s hard to believe I’m actually writing this — they’re mad that it doesn’t cost anything.

Seriously. They have both said they don’t want to set a precedent of paying for tax cuts, since congressional #Republicans have a multi-decade-long record of not doing so."
