“Let me be clear: assaulting a police officer, or hurting another person, or damaging property for any reason is not acceptable and those who do so will be held accountable for their unlawful actions."

An appropriate sentence for such a senseless tragedy. Good work by those @PhoenixPolice and @MarcoAttorney.
“We need to move on” The monitor has a financial incentive to continue his federal oversight. The situation was put in place by someone who has three sheriffs ago. The system worked in the sense that the voters handled the situation. Not the federal monitor. He has made over…
When I became Chairman in January I said, “We aim to be a board of action & I aim to deliver a consequential chairmanship that will achieve substantial results.” This Board is determined to see this through & fight for MCSO. Last night was a turning point. kjzz.org/politics/2025-…
TFW the truth hurts.
The federal monitor was not pleased with all the support for @JerrySheridan24 and @mcsoaz. Time to end the court orders. 350 million dollars later… 30 million to the federal monitor alone…
The people elected @JerrySheridan24 - not the federal monitor.
Let the ELECTED Sheriff @JerrySheridan24 run the Sheriff’s office, not an APPOINTED judge. There’s no oversight to the oversight!
@ThomasGalvin speaking truth to the federal monitor—oversight of our elected sheriff has cost Maricopa taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. @AmyCutlerNews
Great work by people at @PeoriaPoliceAZ and @marcoattorney - 2 consecutive life sentences plus 21 years.
Thanks @SunBeltPolitics! Interesting for 2028!
The 2024 Maricopa County Attorney was quite a dominant race for incumbent @Rachel1Mitchell, who won by nearly 9%, outpacing Presidential nominee Donald Trump by 5.5%. While coalitions vary, she tended to do better in the North/East Valley and was weaker in Hispanic-heavy areas.
Great work by the people at @PhoenixPolice and @MarcoAttorney!
Another example of how messed up the court bail formula is: the formula called for OR release (no bail). @marcoattorney asked for $200K cash. The judge set $50K secured (post 10%).

In 2022, there was an election held for two of the five seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission. Republicans Thompson and Myers claimed the top two spots against Democrats Kennedy and Kuby. Their victory marked the second best Republican performance of 2022 in Arizona.

Thank you @PhoenixPolice and kudos to the neighbor who called this in! x.com/cbseveningnews…
Newly released bodycam footage shows the dramatic rescue of a newborn found alone for days in a Phoenix apartment. A neighbor called police after not seeing the baby’s mother, who was later found dead inside.
Costing taxpayers approaching $400 million and having a stranglehold on the sheriff's office - that is the legacy of this federal monitor--who has every incentive to keep finding "problems". Watch at 3:00.
Maricopa County Board Chair @ThomasGalvin pursuing new strategy to get out from under court oversight of MCSO monitor dating from Joe Arpaio-era abuses. Cost to county over more than a decade is nearing $400 million. Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=Jl-ebA… #SundaySquareOff

This week at Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys Advisory Council (APAAC)- @marcoattorney prosecutor Jenny Carper was named felony prosecutor of the year. A tremendous honor! Also- Special Assistant Ken Vick was awarded a special lifetime achievement award. We are so grateful for the…
“Globalize the Intifada” + Defunding police + Socialism… an extremist recipe for disaster in the United States that should be condemned and rejected.
Nothing excites me more than young, diverse, badass, effective leaders who are also REAL people. That’s @ZohranKMamdani. Huge, huge congratulations to Zohran, the team and countless volunteers who worked their assess off for this win. 33 must be a lucky age 😉
