Colorado River water that was once used to irrigate 500 acres of farmland is now flowing to a suburb more than 200 miles away. Maanvi Singh reports on how the company Greenstone sold the water, and the continuing debate over the deal: theguardian.com/environment/20…

A state grand jury, made up of everyday, regular Arizonans, has handed down felony indictments in the ongoing investigation into the fake elector scheme in Arizona.

Again, we have a critical case in which we must unequivocally say: health care decisions are between a patient and their doctor, especially in medical emergencies. Emergency medical decisions should be guided by the needs of the patient, not abortion bans. reuters.com/world/us/us-su…

I am grateful that sanity prevailed in the Arizona House today with the repeal of the draconian, near-total abortion ban. 1/

ICYMI. The story also contains a poll. Given everything kids can see online + the fact nearly every museum in the world contains nude art, it’s crazy this is controversial. Also crazy to censor young women artists… Art is subjective.

In our rural counties, water isn’t just a resource, it’s a lifeline. I’m dedicated to safeguarding our water for generations to come. AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social Brendon Derr azcir.org/news/2024/04/2…

REMINDER: we have until *June 8* to stop this draconian near-total abortion ban from taking effect.

Thank you, AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes for your leadership.

Our AGO team is beyond thankful for the insight they provided to us. The situation they face — along with every girl & woman in our state — due to this AZ Supreme Court ruling is cruel, dangerous, and cannot stand. Read the release + letter here: azag.gov/press-release/…

🧵 Over the past week, I along with my Solicitor General + Reproductive Rights Unit, held two large meetings with healthcare providers, hospital Chief Medical Officers & others who work in reproductive health to better understand the current & impending issues they face.

If you need a break from politics… 😊
