Good morning, folks. I just spent a half an hour deleting and banning fake telegram users. I honestly don’t have time to do that and I imagine you don’t like sifting through all of it. One of the things I love the most is hearing back from you guys, but right now it is just too burdensome to deal with this algorithm that Telegram has. I’m not sure if it is external bots or part of Telegram’s money making scheme. However, I can’t participate in that right now so I have turned off commenting and will let this rest for a while. I will come back from time to time and make a post and if you need to tell me something, please send it to my work email at ktownsend@azleg.gov.

Love you guys,
KT

This is biased reporting, but will give you an idea of some of the bills that came out of committee. Many more to come.

“There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.”

Oh, yeah?

Trudeau thinks his #PotatoPriorities are going to persuade the truckers to give up and go home.

I have always supported Congressional term limits.

New Johns Hopkins study reveals that lockdowns had no impact. So many of us were adamantly opposed to these actions, but the question is, will we get so much as an apology? I suspect we will get more of the same and no recourse.

These Polish women saying there is no place for communism in North America. God bless them and thank God people are waking up. I will always stand for freedom, no matter what! And I stand with these women! #EndTheMandates #CanadaConvoy #FreedomConvoy

I have been watching #CanadaConvoy since it started and I did not see one swastika, confederate flag or any other racist symbol. If there is one, it is likely a democrat doing what they always do, trying to make conservatives look bad. Shame on Trudeau for making this about race.

We live in a time when our so-called President gives out #crackpipes paid for by the taxpayers, but bends over backwards to stop Ivermectin from saving lives.

I call on Gov. @dougducey to activate the AZ National Guard to the border to stop illegal trafficking immediately. Thank you Rep Jake Hoffman for asking for this opinion.

It was great to meet the Ambassador of Brazil today, Nestor Forster Jr.
We discussed trade opportunities and fixing the supply chain problem. He made Brazil sound wonderful. Thank you, @RepTonyRivero for the introduction.

On Wednesday, after a very long Health and Human Services committee where we listened to testimony from folks about their loved ones who had died in hospitals from Covid and about the mistreatment they received, it was brought to my attention that a group of medical professionals in the audience were persistently mocking the speakers, as well as members of the committee. One high-ranking Hospital official was apparently glaring at me as I gave comfort to a man who had just testified about the death of his father and was looking faint from grief.

I have been pondering this since it happened. I have been trying to understand why persons, whose job it is to heal, would act in a way reminiscent of sixth grade. Why healers would be so harmful. Why healers would be so hurtful. I must admit that it only serves to underscore and strengthen the argument of families who tell harrowing stories of the treatment they are receiving at the hands of so-called medical professionals. Medical professionals who apparently have lost their way.

I will say this. It is my job as a legislator to protect my constituents. Those of you who are medical professionals and have crossed the line, who have lost your way, who at this point should resign - I will make policy alongside my colleagues to strengthen our statutes to ensure that you are held fully accountable if you harm one hair on their head out of malice or greed. End of story.
