So...uber-jerk Mike Lee intends to discuss "underutilized" Public Lands with Chump? What a chicken-bleep. I would submit the space he occupies is underutilized and should be allocated to the Public along with all the wasted Carbon atoms now in use by this creepoid.
Full disclosure: I am a write-in candidate in the CD 7 No Labels Party primary.
By now you have read Tom Steller’s column about the superPAC Tucson Families Fed Up, which sent out misleading mailings attacking Adelita Grijalva, has new mailings supporting Deja Foxx and again attacking Grijalva.
Behind the PAC is Jennifer May of the D.C. firm Next Level Partners, which has been involved in other similar anonymous attacks against progressive Democratic primaries. They were involved in attacking current Congressman Seth Magaziner in the September 2022 primary, as I learned with a simple Google search that led me to tweets by a respected Providence TV news reporter.
Why make a big fuss about this, I am sure you are thinking. After all, all the three major candidates are taking dark money. True. But Deja Foxx at 25 and without any record of public service, is gaining favorable, if not gushing and adulatory coverage in national media, is running on the idea that she is young and of a new generation of political candidates very different from the tired old pols of yesteryear. (At 74, I find her campaign quite ageist.)
I think Deja Foxx may not be what she seems. Her campaign is very light on specifics and largely rests on an admittedly interesting personal backstory that she has used to get at least $8000 a speech (the rate on her speakers’ bureau website) and millions of followers. All of it involves being “fresh-faced” and new and anti-establishment— though the only political campaign I’ve read she had involvement with was Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign last year, at a high level, apparently due to a friendship with a Harris family member.
To be clear, I am not saying Foxx is George Santos, who managed to win a seat in Congress due to a lack of diligent background journalism and oppo research. She is not a criminal. But I don’t see anyone questioning her background by talking to people from her past in Tucson and New York City, though I have read some troubling (though anonymous and therefore not reliable) posts on Reddit.
Most of all, I guess, I would like Deja Foxx to discuss her and her campaign’s relationship with Tucson Families Fed Up PAC, Jennifer May and Next Level Partners and to say how these same old, same old Roger Stone-type dirty tricks squares with herself as a new breath of fresh air among progressives.
And by the way, if she’s a progressive (Grijalva has the support of most nationally known elected officials and organizations, why is a right-wing columnist, Arizona Republic’s Phil Boas, praising her to skies while dissing Adelita Grijalva? He did similar columns on Kyrsten Sinema, and Deja Foxx is giving some of us Sinema vibes. (Check out the glamorous pics of her, always fashionably dressed or not so dressed, at beaches in Kauai, Spain and an island off the coast of Croatia, among other semi-exotic locales.)
I grew up in a financially comfortable household in New York City and have observed during my (too long?) life that sometimes people who grew up poor like Sinema are the ones most taken with fancy clothes, the finest of fine dining and wine, and the trendily fashionable.
Raul Grijalva was what my family would call “hamishe” — plain, a regular guy not easily impressed by money, power and glamour. I always had the feeling he was wearing mismatched socks. But oh, he was my idea of a pretty damn good congressman.
I know I can be easily dismissed as an elderly crank and crackpot, and so I thank anyone who has bothered to read this overly long comment.

I watched that entire video (in the Laugh), so you don’t have to!
Save yourself some time. Don’t.

Keep up the good work. Fight the power.
