BOTH of our feckless "Democratic" senators voted with the Republicans to confirm Scott Bessant . . .

as the new Secretary of the Treasury.

Yes, that's the same Scott Bessant who gave Musk complete access to the federal government's payment system on Friday.

Also, if you don't already know, both Kelly and Gallego voted yes on the Laken Riley bill, which opponents say eliminates due process for illegal immigrants. (Gallego was even a cosponsor of this bill. Here's some reading material: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/20/ruben-gallego-democrats-trump-00001925)

What's the point of having Democratic senators if they're voting like Republicans?

I am not overreacting when I say that we're in the midst of a coup. It took Hitler less than two months to take over the government of Germany; Trump and his Project 2025 cronies seem to want to see if they can break that record.

Please, fellow Arizonans, call the Senate on Monday and tell our senators that we want them to stop this run into a dictatorship; tell them to vote with the Democrats, not against them.

We want them to stop this descent into fascism.
