PHOENIX — A jury in southern Arizona resumed its deliberations Friday in the trial of a rancher charged with fatally shooting an unarmed migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border. Jurors received the case Thursday afternoon after a nearly one-month trial in a presidential election year that has drawn widespread interest in border security. […]
In a show of ignorance, willful or otherwise, of the nation’s legal heritage, Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have allowed teachers to display and discuss the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Additionally, the governor vetoed legislation that would have defined “male” and “female” based on biology rather than “gender” and […]
A Democratic tactic to force a vote repealing an 1864 abortion ban in Arizona went down to defeat Wednesday. The law — dating back to the days Arizona was a territory — became more than a historical curiosity recently when the Arizona supreme court ruled that it was now valid, because it was in effect […]
PHOENIX — Democrats in the Arizona Senate cleared a path to bring a proposed repeal of the state’s near-total ban on abortions to a vote after the state’s highest court concluded the law can be enforced and the state House blocked efforts to undo the long-dormant statute.

That could mean all abortion clinics in the state will be forced to shut down, though there is currently a hold on enforcing the law which means there will likely be lawsuits filed before anything else happens. Arizona’s highest court on […]
A number of Arizona Republicans are rapidly distancing from the state’s controversial Supreme Court ruling protecting almost all unborn babies from abortions. The state Supreme Court upheld a 1864 law on Tuesday that bans almost all abortions in Arizona, except when the mother’s life is at risk. In a 4-to-2 decision, the court said that […]
There aren’t many areas where I agree with the Biden administration but the CHIPS Act is one that I genuinely hope will work. The ACT passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support and was signed into law in 2022. The idea was to award grants to chipmakers willing to build new facilities here […]
The pilot of a hot air balloon that crashed in Arizona in January, killing him and three passengers, had ketamine in his body, according to an autopsy report. On Jan. 14, the balloon rose above Eloy, Arizona. The basket had 12 passengers along with the pilot, and eight of them skydived to safety before the […]
