So many #HouseRepublicans have gone to NY to support #Trump at his trial that it’s messing w/ #GOP *work* Capitol Hill, including their partisan fights.

With Reps #AndyBiggs of #Arizona & #AnnaPaulinaLuna & #MikeWaltz of #Florida all at the trial, the #House Oversight has been forced to postpone its planned vote to hold AG Merrick #Garland in #contempt of #Congress. Today’s vote has been pushed back from 11AM to 8PM for members to return to Washington 🙄.

"Nearly 3weeks ago, #Giuliani was charged in #Arizona in connection with actions he allegedly took after the 2020 presidential election to try to reverse #Trump's loss in the state. Two state attorney general agents traveled to New York to hand-deliver a summons to Giuliani but weren't able to get past a doorman. Other attempts have also failed. If Giuliani doesn't appear in court on May 21, he could be held in contempt." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/14/rudy-giuliani-arizona-charges/?location=alert

Good night #sunset from my beautiful (if def still under construction!) #Arizona back yard... where #BidenHarris is supported despite flaws. Where we understand that the alternative is unthinkable. Where we believe #congress holds equal or greater responsibility. Where we vote--ALL the way down ballot. Where we volunteer. Where we contribute funds.

#Arizona governor signs into law measure to repeal 1864 #abortion ban

“Hobbs’ signature does not alone guarantee that the ban will not take effect. Arizona legislation typically takes effect 90 days after the conclusion of the state legis session, which may last into summer. Arizona Dem lawmakers lacked the numbers to add an emergency clause into the repeal to let it go into effect earlier…ban may temporarily come into force”

Arizona stoppt Rückkehr zum Abtreibungsrecht von 1864

Im April verfügte das oberste Gericht in Arizona, dass ein 160 Jahre altes, fast komplettes Abtreibungsverbot wieder in Kraft treten kann. Doch das Parlament verhinderte das nun - auch mit Stimmen aus den Reihen der Republikaner.
