The Arizona House just gave a middle-finger salute to citizens. Granted, it was the citizens of Scottsdale, so a fair number of lawmakers likely got a kick out of disenfranchising them. After all, how dare Scottsdale’s residents think their constitutional right to have the final say on a massive rezoning project should trump the right of a well-connected developer to build the state’s largest apartment complex? This, in a city that already is being overrun with apartments?

Karrin Taylor Robson is rushing to shore up her bona fides with Donald Trump. This, in the only way that matters — by gushing over Trump. Or more specifically, over Trump’s keen handling of the economy. As global markets roil and businesses reel and retirement accounts recede, Taylor Robson is all atingle over a report that inflation slowed in March. “PROMISES KEPT,” she proclaimed on social media, in response to a similar post by Trump’s spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.

Kari Lake has a new gig. This time, at the State Department. No, really. Kari Lake is being shuffled over to the State Department, and for some odd reason, that old “Sound of Music” song is running through my head. You know, the one where the nuns wonder, How do you solve a problem like Maria? For years, Lake has been one of Trump’s most ardent supporters. She’s basically Trump in high heels, a camera-ready rage machine who on command can offer a shot of adrenaline to the MAGA Nation.

It’s time for the Trump administration to make Phoenix safe again. They can do this by dispatching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem … somewhere, anywhere … else. Noem is America’s reigning queen of cosplay. Whether it’s rocking a cowboy hat while sitting astride a horse in Del Rio, Texas, (Border Barbie) or posing in front of Venezuelan inmates in an El Salvador supermax prison with her ICE ballcap and her $50,000 gold Rolex (Badass Barbie), Noem’s got it going on.
