By Anthea Butler

…figure, along with her husband, reportedly purchased a $1.7 million dollar Arizona house through a shell corporation, Safari Investments. At the same time, she played a not-very-ordinary mom, with worries about her daughter Bristol’s upcoming new reality show.

By Annika Brockschmidt

…the latest ad for Peter Thiel-backed far-right candidate for US Senate in Arizona, Blake Masters. Both claim that there’s a narrow and fixed definition of who is and is not American—first and foremost, white, Christian people who look, sound, dress, worship, believe, love, and act like they do—and both draw clear lines to show who is in and who is not a part of it. The future for all non-cis gendered people looks dire should Scott’s plan be enact…

By Susan Henking

…blog about boycotting the baseball All-Star Game because it was played in Arizona, and that blog was picked up by sports writers who called me every name in the book, I felt quite marginal.

The Suburban Shift Putting Republicans in Peril

By Murali Balaji

…ot wholly prepared—to deal with some of the demographic changes. A growing number of Hindu, Sikh and Muslim voters, for example, represent the parts of New Jersey that once boasted white, Christian, college-educated voters. While they’re not all Democrats, it’s easy to see how an administration that’s doubled down on xenophobia has imperiled Republicans’ outreach efforts. Similarly, in places like Orange County, California, the rise of Asian non-C…

…elt comes from Doe Daughtrey, a doctoral candidate in religious studies at Arizona State University. According to Daughtrey, especially in the last three or four decades, institutional Mormonism has deemphasized or discontinued some distinctive metaphysical doctrines and practices dating from our faith’s early connections with Anglo-American folk magic and mysticism. This demystification of Mormonism results in large part from LDS Church leaders’…

Trump’s Lawsuit Amounts to ‘a Tweet With a Filing Fee,’ But That’s Not the Whole Strategy

By Andrew L. Seidel

…outcome is set. We just have to count it up. If states didn’t publish any numbers until the count was complete, the outcome would be exactly the same but without the horserace narrative and a President subverting the will of the people.

It’s tempting to think that Trump only wants to freeze the numbers at a time when it might be favorable to him. That’s part…

It should lead to the following: while the GOP coalition is getting smaller, whiter and more regionally and ideologically homogeneous, the Democratic coalition is getting bigger, more racially diverse and more regionally and ideologically heterogeneous. The…

Mitt Romney At Value Voters Summit

By Joanna Brooks

…ire-in-the-belly of a Donnie Osmond. His greatest hits? “Nancy Pelosi’s numbers have being going down a chute faster than a Jet Blue flight attendant” and “President Obama’s idea of a rogue state is Arizona.” As for the substance of Romney’s speech, what was most notable was the absence of talk about values, let alone religion. Instead, Romney sounded every bit the corporate buyout and turnaround specialist, criticizing the “anti-growth,” “…

…with at least some support from, Democrats. These states included Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Other bills in Category 1, involved “encouraging schools to teach the Bible and encouraging students and teachers to express religious beliefs in school—both of which can lead to proselytism or denigration of non-Christian faiths.” Still others sought to provide religious exemptions (or refusals) from the law in ways that would af…
