There actually is no way to know how much misuse in ESAs. @RealTomHorne and @AZTreasurerYee refuse to release ESA spending records for all of the past 2 years, and Auditor General has been stonewalled from auditing.
@fire_starter457 @SEANRYA17583867 @MBeienburg @AZFreedomCaucus @12News @CraigHarrisNews ESA misuse: $1-2 million - $170k collected, $182k referred, $73k pending Public Schools misuse: $26 million+ (Goldwater study, plus ongoing audits)- millions identified but no full recoveries You believe whatever fanatical narrative you want.

Traded Cody Bellinger for money they didn't use and a pitcher they DFA'd. Whiffed on Tanner Scott, Alex Bregman, and Roki Sasaki. Cool, cool. Just start playing games already so I can put this offseason behind me.

Hilarious story. Heritage foundation economist says on a podcast today “this whole idea that tariffs can never serve a good purpose, that’s just not correct”. Josh digs up this 2021 heritage foundation article to dunk. Heritage deletes the article in 30 minutes lol.

4 days ago, I was wrongly convicted of slander after police used deception to coerce me. Today, the fight continues. I'm off to Olympia to testify in support of HB1138 to ban police deception. ATTN lawmakers: I'll be knocking on doors before the hearing. I'd love to speak w/ you.
