“Gov. Katie Hobbs signs executive orders restricting conversion therapy and making Arizona a safe haven for people seeking reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare. … This executive order prohibits state agencies from directing state or federal resources towards conversion therapy and requires state agencies to develop policies to protect children from conversion therapy.” 1

Secretary Buttigieg is spearheading the largest infrastructure plan in a generation.
“To make the most of a logistics district, you need good transportation infrastructure, the right roads for trucks, the right connections for freight trains,” Buttigieg said. “And that’s why this project is so vital.” 3
Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) must stop cherry-picking the Bible otherwise he also needs to admit that he is wearing mixed clothing, telling lies, bearing false witness against his neighbor and about 10 other Leviticus laws he has violated. 4
“Cherry-picking is a logical fallacy, which is when someone chooses to concentrate on the evidence that supports their own perspective. It is the act of choosing and presenting just the evidence that supports a position while omitting the evidence that would support the opposite position resulting in a defect in thinking that undermines the argument.” 5
Our family vacationed in Southwestern Michigan where my wife and I grew up for years. I would buy gas, bottled water and sodas at a Shell station which also had a convenience store. One of the ladies who worked behind the counter was especially friendly and we struck up a casual friendship. I would refer to her as “Smiley” and she referred to me as “Hon” until she learned my name was Ross. After a while, as I left, we blew each other kisses. Several weeks ago, my wife and I went back there for a week with our family—it had been at least four years if not more since we had gone back. I was buying gas at that same Shell station. After I filled my tank, I went into the store to see if my friend was still working there. When I looked across the counter, I didn’t see her. I went over to the candy section to see if I could find a maple Bun Bar for my wife. I must have walked up and down that candy section for at least five minutes when I heard a voice say, “Are you looking for something in particular?” I turned and it was my friend. She said, “I thought that was you. Your name is Ross, right?” She came out from behind the counter, we gave each other a very heart-felt hug and proceeded to catch up on what had gone on in each other’s lives. What a thrill the experience was and thinking about this meeting still warms my heart—as I think it will for a long time.
“The rock-and-roll-loving Mormon has his own fair share of critics inside the party who appear largely unfamiliar with his past. Some House Republicans view Biggs’ legislative persona as an unlicensed backseat driver, a constant no vote who still tries to give direction on how to make policy. Out of the roughly 760 bills he’s introduced, only four have become law.” 6

Then in a Biggs email newsletter he states, “On Wednesday, I met with Joshua Stanwitz of Concerned Veterans of America, Bob Dalpe of Arizona Veterans Medical Leadership Council, veteran advocate Steve Cooper, and Ro Gonzalez of Valors Veterans Community AZ to discuss the latest VA crisis and long wait times currently faced by our veterans. This is outrageous. Our nation has promised care for our veterans and the VA is failing to deliver that promise.” 8
