It's currently 9 PM and Republicans in the Arizona Senate are rushing through one of the most reckless budget plans in the history of Arizona. This plan does nothing but undermine Prop 208 — at the cost of resources for everyday Arizonans. Watch ⬇️ #AZLEG

"It's expensive to be poor in Arizona." - @NavarreteAZ as he votes NO on the proposed budget flat tax plan.
It is now 10PM and the @AZSenateGOP is currently attempting to pass a complete power grab against the Secretary of State. Despite @SecretaryHobbs being elected by Arizonans across the state, Republicans in the #AZLEG are attempting to strip away as much of her power as possible.
Sen. Borrelli is literally using the Senate floor and the budget proposal process to uphold conspiracy theories into law.
The @AZSenateGOP doesn't care about upholding Democracy, just pandering to their base before a big election. #AZLEG

"There is nothing bad happening with our ballots. At all. This is a lie." - @SenQuezada29 as he asks members of the @AZSenateGOP if they *actually* know what their wild conspiracy theories entail. #AZLEG
Sen. Borrelli is literally attempting to get social media algorithms investigated and to potentially require retweets to be counted as contributions through a special task force in his budget amendment.
These are the people running the state.

Senate President Fann introduced a budget amendment enforcing conspiracy theories into law and also refuses to yield to questions about them. It's clear that the @AZSenateGOP wants to fly all of these awful amendments under the radar. #AZLEG
Now at 11:20 PM the Senate decides to go on a break for 30-45 minutes because 3 budget bills are not ready. They're willing to go overnight to avoid immediate public backlash because they know these budget bills are wildly unpopular. #AZLEG
It is now 1:40 AM and Republicans in the Arizona Senate have officially started voting on the final budget reconciliation bill, the Arizona K-12 education budget bill.
The @AZSenateGOP is weakening attacking education while their constituents sleep.

At 2:19 AM the Arizona Senate passes its final budget bill, totaling 11 bills as part of their disastrous flat tax proposal. The budget now goes over to the House on Thursday. Call your state representative & demand they vote NO on this irresponsible budget!
