But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk,

My experience in politics has been that the way that you earn trust with voters is based mostly on what they think you're going to do for their lives, not on categories,

Thousands remember Charlie Kirk at Colorado State University vigil Thursday

In the first official event hosted by Turning Point USA—the youth advocacy group Kirk founded—since Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University last week, supporters, students, and free speech advocates littered a crowd dotted with red hats

I didn’t always agree with the man, but I respected what he was doing and I just felt like it was a loss,

Over the last few days, we’ve witnessed an organic, grassroots response to Charlie’s assassination, not led any a media tour or any particular organization, but all of you courageously saying ‘we are Charlie Kirk,'
It’s devastating that he had to die, it shouldn’t have happened,

Trump says Kirk might’ve changed mind about ‘hate speech’ were he still alive

I believe in the First Amendment and free speech as a principle regardless of what the law says. I don’t want to ban anyone’s speech,
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free,
Hate speech has become speech that the left doesn't like listening to,

Arizona attorney general intervenes to stop electric rate hike

Ted Geislerceo
Reliability isn’t optional. It's essential, especially in Arizona. We must ensure the power is there when our customers need it most, and we thank them for trusting us with their energy needs. That is what this rate case and proposed adjustment are about,
After years of steady rate hikes, it’s unacceptable that this monopoly utility thinks it's okay to take more of Arizonans' hard-earned money,

Housing affordability remains a challenge in Arizona: Report

It's really important for the Arizona economy to have sort of affordable housing, if you will,
So housing prices are still very expensive, and of course, we still find ourselves in a very high interest rate, high mortgage rate environment, even despite the (interest) rate cuts that were announced Wednesday from the Federal Reserve,
It’s really going to put a drain on the overall economy to the extent that housing remains unaffordable,

Senate confirms first batch of Trump nominees using ‘nuclear’ option

John Thunesenate Majority Leader
I think this is a way of fulfilling his desire, and sort of dealing with the frustration he has about the way the Democrats are obstructing and blocking and keeping him from getting his people in place, but doing it in a way, I think, that it still respects the history and traditions of the Senate,
