Heat-related deaths decreased 30% in Maricopa County last year Maricopa County's chief medical officer said the county saw 427 heat deaths in 2025, down from 608 the year before.

This is absolute BULLSHIT. Which I proved last year, and will prove again. Heat-related deaths decreased 30% in Maricopa County last year www.kjzz.org/science/2026...

A very important read for Arizonans & especially SRP ratepayers. Fuckery is afoot & it’s past time for the antiquated (& racist/classist) voting system to change. TPUSA is also heavily involving themselves + running candidates FYI. energyandpolicy.org/srp-landowne...

Has Kinder Morgan/SWGas steamrolled your community yet?

Attorney General Mayes accuses Kinder Morgan of violating 'the spirit, if not the letter,' of a state law Gov. Katie Hobbs says homeowner appeals in natural gas dispute to be addressed in a “Few Days.”

Must watch/read story about how every community is apparently for sale to the state of #Arizona for the highest Corporate bidder. This is the tipping point of what is to come…Multi billion $$$ companies care about ONE thing. MONEY. Shame on the Governor.
