A young girl didn’t want to slaughter the goat she raised for 4H. The state senator who bought the goat at auction agreed to let it live out its days eating weeds. But sheriff’s deputies drove 500 miles to kill the goat and teach a 9-year-old a lesson.

Sen. @ChristinePMarsh shared today that she was diagnosed with cancer. She has a good prognosis and she’ll keep working as a senator, but it may be a while before she can resume teaching. Marsh urged everyone to stay on top of checkups and screenings.

Christine Porter Marsh for Arizona

This has been a very difficult year for me, and for everyone. I’m still coping with the loss of my son. We’re still dealing with a global pandemic. We’ve had droughts, fires and floods. My first...

You develop a thick skin and a sense of gallows humor pretty quickly in this job, and it’s easy to laugh at or ignore most of the trolls. But I’ve never hated anyone enough to wish actual harm on them, and I can’t understand how fellow humans can think that way.

Giuliani spent a long time Monday in a room full of maskless Arizona Republicans, some of whom went on to attend several days of new lawmaker orientation at #azleg and refused staff requests to wear masks there.

. @RudyGiuliani , by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!

I’m spending the night in Bliss, Idaho, a town named for the feeling that comes with not having to cover an Arizona election

Bobb’s coverage of the audit started with trying to dox another local reporter and complaining that we all asked too many questions about who was paying for the exercise, so I guess this temper tantrum tracks

OAN “reporter” @christina_bobb losses her cool when approached by local AZ reporter @JenAFifield who has been continually pointing out that the OAN reporter has been personally fundraising for the audit.

Either Bennett’s much more comfortable now or someone else got the keys to this account, but this is super-confrontational messaging from something sold as a government exercise. You don’t see ADOT telling people with questions to get their eyes checked

Spotted in the House parking lot: freshman Rep. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott, has at least two bumper stickers for the Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia group. Oath Keepers in the #azleg include Rep. Mark Finchem and Sen. Wendy Rogers.

The reporters at local Arizona news outlets that this state senator refuses to talk to are all individuals with pens, phones, computers and sometimes even cameras 🤷🏼‍♀️

Biden’s last stop before the airport in Portland was at a Baskin Robbins, where he bought @TinaKotek an ice cream and told the traveling WH press pool that he thinks she’s going to win. #orpol #orgov

Psst east coasters and national media: the wildfire smoke and bad air quality you’re experiencing now have been a summertime constant on the west coast for years. Hope you’ll think more about the huge swaths of the country that exist west of New York.

Inbox: coalition of left-leaning advocacy groups are calling on #azleg to expel Sens. Townsend, Rogers, Borrelli, Livingston and Reps. Finchem, Blackman and Cook — or strip them of committee chairmanships and leadership roles — for supporting efforts to overturn the election.

My unexpectedly outside neighbor definitely overheard me having a full conversation with my cat in the doorway about whether he was trying to go to work too, what he would even do there and whether he could be a good reporter, so anyway I have to move now.

Nothing to see here, just the presiding officer of a state legislative chamber publicly musing criminal charges against journalists for doing their jobs.

Achievement unlocked, I guess? If this senator (or Leach or Ugenti-Rita because I’m now blocked by a solid 10 percent of the Senate) says something worth writing about for the Yellow Sheet Report or Cap Times, I trust you’ll let me know

There are just two and a half days left until I get to jump on a plane and leave Arizona for a few days, and I would greatly appreciate it if AZ politics would chill out just a bit so I have a reason to take that return flight
