    There is no secret deal, no special discount, and no “blended” rate that shifts costs onto others. Under Arizona law, utilities cannot invent rates on the side or quietly move customers onto unapproved pricing.

      Arizona farmers and ranchers face enough challenges already. They want to focus on feeding the country, not filling out needless paperwork. Please pass the Protect USA Act.

      Supporters argue this is about restoring trust in elections. But trust isn’t built by adding complexity alone, it’s built by aligning solutions with actual problems.

      Data centers do not belong in deserts, and untimely standards the AI class can manipulate at the expense of regular people will never be enough.

          Overwhelming majority of Muslims seek peace | Salam Al-Marayati

            It is not easy to be an American Muslim today. With the U.S. engaged in another conflict with a Muslim-majority country, rhetoric from some of our highest officials continues to vilify Islam and cast suspicion on Muslims as disloyal or dangerous.

                Russia and China are losers in US war on Iran | Peter Doran

                  The United States and Israel are devastating the parasitic Islamic regime that squandered the wealth of Iran for decades and exported terror across the Middle East. Understanding the biggest losers in this war is just as important as any assessment of the battle damage to government buildings in Tehran.

                    President Donald Trump’s disastrous war on Iran is weakening the United States and providing America's principal adversaries, China and Russia, with a strategic opportunity to expand their global influence.
