De Los Santos, D-Phoenix, was elected by the House Democratic Caucus Friday to be the first Democratic speaker since 1966. “It…
It wasn’t on the ballot, but I can’t help thinking it must have been on the minds of so many of us who voted in this election. I’m not talking about healthcare, reproductive rights, immigration, voting rights, tariffs or even the price of a gallon of gasoline. Oh, all of that has certainly been top
The blue wave that swept across Tuesday’s midterm election will deliver Democrats new power over state government, giving them the opportunity to advance long-sought policy changes.

It’s indeed a beautiful, sunny Blue Day in Arizona, and for those of us tired of MAGA’s exclusionary politics, Wednesday morning felt a lot brighter. I knew voters were angry. But I didn’t predict the magnitude of the rebuke, which makes the Democratic sweep across the nation — and particularly in Arizona — all the
The fingerpointing is coming from inside the house. Vice President JD Vance said in a lengthy social media post Wednesday that Republicans’ shellacking in the midterm elections the night before was mainly due to the administration’s war in Iran.

The Trump administration cut naturalization sharply over the past year, leading to accusations it’s holding back hundreds of thousands of people who might have voted in the midterms.

WASHINGTON — Communities throughout the country have been inundated with television ads and outside spending as politicians try to spur voter turnout in the most competitive U.S. House races in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

As a veteran journalist and a Mexican-American, whenever a momentous event involving Latinos happens, I have a habit of turning to major news outlets to gauge — and, yes, judge — how long it takes them to notice and how prominently they play the story. It’s one of my ways of asking, on behalf of
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is unlawfully scrutinizing naturalized U.S. citizens and placing them at risk of disenfranchisement, civil rights groups alleged in a lawsuit Wednesday, less than a week before Election Day.

MERIDIAN, Idaho — It didn’t take long for doctors to see that something was amiss with Rebecca Crozier’s pregnancy.

Arizona was in the throes of anti-immigrant hysteria in 2010. The legislature enthusiastically passed the first major state laws targeting the undocumented, and Gov. Jan Brewer signed them. State and county officials locked up immigrants. They took them to the border and pushed them across. They denied them bail. They…
Local healthcare providers fear impending changes to Medicaid eligibility could leave hundreds of thousands of Arizonans without coverage, forcing people to delay care until they face health emergencies — resulting in overcrowded emergency rooms and higher costs, even for people with insurance. The “One Big Beautiful…
This year’s statewide ballot measures are written, on average, at a graduate-school reading level, according to a new report.

Faith leaders and an Arizona Supreme Court justice gathered at the state Capitol a week away from the midterm election to call for the respectful treatment of election workers.

It was another financial institution’s commercial that motivated me to create something different. Two busy white, apparently nondisabled, suburban parents were standing on their carefully manicured lawn talking about how they needed to go to the bank to plan for the future of their adult son with Down syndrome. They…
What if a plan to increase teacher pay and improve Arizona schools actually hurts our most vulnerable population — our students with special needs? I’m a mom to a child with Down syndrome. I am also an educator with nearly two decades of experience as a teacher and school administrator in both district and charter

All of the indicators suggest we are on the brink of a very large Democratic victory in the 2026 election. Not only is polling consistent and increasingly strong on this point, all of the non-polling indicators lead to the same observation. Of course. And individual polls often are. What gets publicly reported is a…
SPRINGDALE, Pa. — Residents in a small southwestern Pennsylvania town are facing the prospect of a 47-acre data center facility on their doorstep. “Right here behind this fence is where they want to put up the data center, and as you can see, there’s houses right across the street, roughly 100 feet,” said lifelong…

When Patrice Jetter and Garry Wickham became engaged, the first decisions were of small, giddy consequence: where to hold the ceremony, whom to invite, what to wear. But soon enough, a far weightier question eclipsed them all: whether they could afford to marry at all. They learned that, as people with disabilities…
WASHINGTON — Fewer than 5% of U.S. House races are seen by a top political analysis as truly competitive heading into November’s midterm elections, giving relatively few voters the ability to determine which party controls the chamber for the next two years.

In a recent focus group convened by Navigator Research, a Democratic polling and public opinion firm, and shared exclusively with The…
We’re in the midst of a data center boom, with 160 data centers in Arizona alone.

A federal judge on Wednesday night blocked the Department of Homeland Security from conducting election-related field operations that could sweep up U.S. citizens in nine states.

An aircraft used for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda leaked fuel onto a taxiway at the Mesa Gateway Airport, temporarily closing it, and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement pilot told air traffic controllers that his plane’s fuel gauge wasn’t working, according to audio reviewed by the Arizona…
The sheer size of investment in data centers is drawing concern as it surpasses all other historical booms and crowds out other more job-creating ventures. Until now, no industry had driven the U.S. economy with such force since the railroad expansion of the late 1800s, when titans battled one another to lay the…
Suspicious letters, some of which contained unknown substances, were sent to three of Arizona’s Democratic members of Congress, just days after the Secretary of State’s Office was evacuated because of an envelope filled with white powder.

The Cook Political Report with Amy…
Democratic U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton learned that the Department of Homeland Security was using a Federal Emergency Management Agency building as an immigration court, but when he went to inspect it, he was met with roadblocks. “No. 1, there is no signage indicating this is an immigration court room,” Stanton told…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has a flurry of travel on deck in the final frantic weeks leading up to the end of the midterm elections, in which the GOP is vying to maintain its control of both the U.S. House and Senate. But that outlook looks increasingly less favorable for Republicans, as analysts say
