That's Katie Hobbs (D) of Arizona.

I was really hoping it'd be Greg Abbott (R) of Texas.

It'd be really great for cousin Greg to ask for climate assistance. Both for the humor and because Texas actually needs it.

Yep, as a Texan I was really hoping it would be Abbott too.

As a former Texan, you'll never see Abbott do anything that might directly benefit the people instead of benefitting profit.

If you don't like the heat then you can ride your e-bike back to Commiefornia!

AZ Republicans in the near future

Do I have to buy a subscription to learn what city and what state?

“We can get to zero deaths with the right resources … obviously no city anywhere in the world has yet demonstrated what the right mix of resources looks like for zero heat-related deaths, but [we’re] at the forefront of pursuing them,”

Wtf kind of statement is this?
