Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs attacked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorkas, but it seems more like he was looking in a mirror. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/ej-montini/2023/07/28/rep-andy-biggs-national-security-threat-not-alejandro-majorkas/70483430007/

#AZGQP #AndyBiggs represents the LDS Church w his #WhiteNationalist platform. The senators from Arizona aren't much better, just quiet while never advocating for the funding needed at border or for compassion or respect for anyone except Racists among the CBP.

@JRBuckley From #Arizona there were two full sets of Fake electors, I don't even know which set went to #vpotus Pence for Jan 6 planned coup. Curious if all involved will face consequences because a few signors are now in state offices? #AZGQP #AZGOP

On Monday, a judge ruled against Kari Lake's last claim in a misguided attempt to overturn the 2022 election for Governor. This follows a three-day trial which began with Lake's own eyewitness confirming that signature verifications were being performed, which kind of wrecked the whole case.

Tomorrow, defendants get to argue that Lake should pay for their costs to defend against this conspiracy-theory-fueled nonsense. Lake has only until 5 PM on Wednesday to argue against any such charges.

Coverage of day one of the trial gives a hint on the direction of the case: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/takeaway-from-day-one-of-kari-lakes-second-trial-lakes-losing-streak-continues/

❝The court heard from other witnesses including two members of a fringe political action group ... they discussed a 24/7 livestream of the signature verification process, which Lake has to prove did not occur for her claims to be successful in court.

Also, Arizona's GOP Senate leader, Sonny Borrelli, invented the authority to tell county election officials to ignore the law.

This is pinned to the text of #SCR1037 (which is not law according to the AZ Constitution): https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/56leg/1R/laws/scr1037.pdf

This move was, generally, not well received except for fringe proponents of the so-called "independent state legislature" theory.

❝Sonny Borrelli is just trying to [confuse with nonsense] the Counties into thinking this is a law. The Counties know better. What an embarrassment Borelli is.
