“This is another attempt to really weaken the ballot initiative process, which is a process given to citizens, to really advance advanced legislation when we’re not answering the call.”

You're describing how my son operates, and my wife and I regularly joke about how the "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" series is basically just a primer for life with ADHD
Kyrsten Sinema will be a columnist for a conservative Beltway opinion site, you say?
The gulf between the Kyrsten I started covering in 2004 and this Kyrsten is mind-boggling.

The New Mexico Department of Justice announced that it searched convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch on Monday along with officers from the New Mexico State Police and deputies from the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office.
The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
this guy loves making down payments on future 9/11s with other people's money
They sunk an unarmed ship, that they knew was unarmed, and killed at least 87 people, because "it's more fun" that way.
Pure evil.

WaPo is going to put @bencollins.bsky.social out of business at this rate
Real big display of Dunning-Kruger going on here from this self-appointed expert who is just showing his whole ass with this comically bad analysis
Literally hasn't been true since maybe the 1980s, and even that soon got squeezed out by Reganomics and trickle-down bullshit.
Maybe you just don't know how long a generation is, because there have been several since then.

The president defended the spike Sunday, calling it "a very small price to pay" for eliminating Iran's nuclear threat
Six more (!!) Eli Crane fundraising emails since Saturday.
He ended 2025 with $2.5 million cash on hand, and his most likely Dem oppnent, @formerpreznez.bsky.social, had just $650k, so it's not a case where he's being outraised by an opponent.
Bad polling for Crane seems even more likely now.
Update: I just got a 7th email, this one about using the military to "stop drug traffickers."
Hilariously, it's got a large error in it.
Well, the pitch in his fundraising is similar to that of Republicans hawking the SAVE Act in general -- we need voter ID, Democrats hate it because they steal elections, don't let them steal this year's, etc.
Limiting mail-in voting is deeply unpopular, so he's not mentioning it.
ICE and Voter ID account for 4 of them, the other 2 are generic "we need your name, Patriot" slop
Since Wednesday, I've gotten 6 fundraising emails from Eli Crane in #AZ02. In the 90 days before that, I didn't receive any.
I bet they're springing to action because of really bad polling.
2026 will be marked by lean GOP seats (like his) being in play because Trump is that toxic.
tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.
child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.
yeah but
Arizona, Iowa and Nevada will see their Medicaid budgets reduced by more than 15%
The unexpected report, combined with uncertainty over the war with Iran, rattled U.S. markets Friday morning, sparking a drop across all indexes
That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are still fully committed to surrendering their constitutional powers to let Trump act like a king
Christian Nationalists are ascendant in American government right now, but this dude is salty because SCOTUS has no evangelicals and is instead controlled by Opus Dei-loving Catholic zealots.
The op-ed gets even dumber from there. Really a master class in whining about invented slights.
