On Tuesday, I wrote to Speaker Bowers to request the same accommodations to work remotely from home that we had in 2021. Session starts Monday, a 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 my baby’s due date. The Speaker ignored my request & then eliminated remote work amidst a huge #COVID surge 1/4

I’ve heard multiple GOP legislators currently have #COVID. It’s beyond stressful to be at the end of my pregnancy & forced to choose between being exposed right before giving birth, or missing the first week entirely to protect the health of myself and newborn 2/4

What I’m asking for isn’t anything new. Had I given birth last year, health protocols the Speaker adopted would have guaranteed protection for me & my baby. But GOP leadership—comprised of only men—have decided to play political games with the life of me & my future child 3/4

I feel like a lot of new mothers in the workplace. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙙. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙.

#COVID is the leading cause of death & we rank second for pediatric deaths. To be denied the ability to work remotely from home in this environment is cruel 4/4

What she doesn't realize is, is she's making a great argument for why women shouldn't be in "elected" office, or in positions of leadership.

Traditionally, women would stay home, have kids, take care of the home, & raise the family.

It's a full time job!

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. So the wack-a-doodle Republicans in AZ decided to send not one but two fraudulent certificate of electors documents to Congress. Thanks @maddow for your reporting. I’m embarrassed this is my home state.

The Arizona group that sent the forgery, called “AZ Protect the Vote,” is a sovereign citizen group. Because their letter included the state seal, the state sought legal action, referring the case to the attorney general and writing a cease and desist letter instructing the group to stop using the insignia. Lori Osiecki, who leads the group, told the Arizona Republic in Dec. 2020 that a meeting with Rudy Giuliani helped convince her to send the forgery.

Akin to counterfeiting and Obama's birth certificate , the crime is trying to pass off the fake as the real.

Treasury Department escalates threat to strip Arizona of COVID-19 relief help over Ducey's school programs

Federal officials are escalating their threat to withhold federal stimulus dollars from Arizona over Gov. Doug Ducey's refusal to make changes to two programs that provide funding to schools that do not implement recommended public health protocols.

In a Friday letter to Ducey's office, a U.S. Treasury official again warned that the two initiatives the governor unveiled in August appeared to prevent COVID-19 mitigation protocols, and more forcefully warned of the consequences of continuing the programs as-is.

Ducey must direct the funding to eligible uses or make changes to the two education program within 60 days, or Treasury may begin to recoup funding, the letter states.

"Treasury may also withhold funds from the state of Arizona’s second tranche installment of (American Rescue Plan) funds until Treasury receives information that confirms that the issues described above have been adequately addressed," the letter from Deputy Chief Compliance Officer Kathleen Victorino reads. Arizona and other states are slated to get their second share of American Rescue Plan funds this spring, with more than $2 billion on the way to the Grand Canyon State.

Ducey's two programs, the educational recovery benefit and education plus-up grant program, provided funding to families and schools that did not implement COVID-19 related mandates. The governor earmarked $163 million for both programs.
