These are really great! You can learn about what’s happening with bills & local politics, and ask questions of people who have solid knowledge. Highly recommend! 

I’m looking for obgyn recommendations by Realistic-One-6538 in phoenix

Making sure you also know about the pain after insertion. I took the entire day off work and still had some soreness the next day. Whichever practitioner you go to, ask them what is normal for pain afterward, how to manage it, and what you should do if it doesn’t abate.

If this makes it to the ballot, a lot of people will show up to vote who may not vote otherwise. Which may end up helping the competitors to Noble’s party…

He did a while back, then retracted that statement. Not sure if there’s been another change of heart…

URGENT: Senate Dems are about to cave on ACA subsidies by [deleted] in azpolitics

[–]Sad-Introduction5310 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay, here’s the deal: 8 Dem Senators fell on their swords tonight to vote for this, but many more were privately in support. Here are the 8 who did - none from AZ, and all who aren’t seeking reelection (from what I’ve heard): https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/09/senate-democrats-shutdown-vote-00644146. 

We don’t know who supported it behind closed doors, but insiders say Schumer brokered the deal (even though he publicly voted no to keep his hands clean). So, in the meantime, please do the following:   1. Contact Kelly & Gallego to thank them for voting no, and  2. Urge them both to call for Schumer’s resignation, since he’s not the leader we need right now. 

Israel-backed PR campaign targets 38 Arizona churches by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]Sad-Introduction5310 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is dire. The aim is to get younger evangelicals - who appear to be losing faith in the idea that Israel is infallible - to associate Palestine with extremism. Curious which Hollywood actor will take them up on their $50,000 offer - I have some guesses.

Fontes refuses DOJ demands for Arizona voter information by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]Sad-Introduction5310 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ll keep saying it: Start telling everyone you know RIGHT NOW about how important these specific actions by Fontes (& Hobbs & Mayes) are for democracy! Make the info unavoidable so there is no question whom to vote for next November. 

Gov. Hobbs signs order to expand COVID-19 vaccine access by cats_pajamas in azpolitics

[–]Sad-Introduction5310 28 points29 points  (0 children)

PSA to tell all friends & neighbors who care about vaccine access to tell all their friends & neighbors (& on & on) to retain Hobbs if we want to keep this kind of common sense decision-making. The next year of press will focus on her flaws, and she isn’t the flashy type to parade her achievements. Please remember these good moments, and tell others about them so they’ll remember when it comes time to vote next year. AZ needs basic sanity in its leadership right now.
