Statewide Democratic candidates bypass rural voters, issues October 19, 2018
The divide between rural and urban Democrats can be even greater than the partisan divide. And as far as rural voters like Dave Tunnell can tell, few candidates have made the effort to better understand the state’s most far flung communities, leaving votes unharvested.

The Sanitary Milk Crusade October 18, 2018
“Local Milk Fails the Standards” announced the headline of the Bisbee Daily Review on June 18, 1914. The following day more alarming news greeted citizens as they read: “Conditions of Milk Bad in District.” The headlines announced the results of tests on Bisbee-area milk supplies performed by the state bacteriologist in Tucson. It was all ...
Prop. 127 will divert money from schools in name of idealism October 18, 2018
Voting “No” on Proposition 127 won’t stop the expansion of renewable energy in Arizona, but it will protect our schools from more mandates that take money away from classrooms where our children are trying to learn. And, that makes Arizona a better place – for kids and for Arizona’s future.
Keeping Navajo plant protects jobs, tribes, rural communities October 18, 2018
Like all meaningful opportunities for economic development, we should pull out all the stops to keep the Navajo Generating Station online. We owe it to the Navajo and Hopi people, and we owe it to ourselves to fight for our energy security, our economic strength and our rural communities.

That's It For Today June 5, 2017
This is my last post for the day. Starting in a few minutes we'll be replacing the guts of our website with something newer and better than what we have now, and no one at MoJo is allowed to edit the site until we're done. That will be Tuesday morning according to our tech boffins. I fully expect everything to go flawlessly during this conversion, […]

Chart of the Day: Health Care Spending as a Percentage of GDP June 5, 2017
This is apropos of nothing in particular. I was over at the World Bank site fiddling around with some stuff and happened to look at their chart for health care spending. There's a good case to be made that as GDP rises, the share devoted to health care also rises. This is because richer countries have more "spare" income and health care is wha […]
Trump's Tweets Threaten His Travel Ban's Chances in Court June 5, 2017
President Donald Trump began the week with a barrage of early-morning tweets blasting the courts for blocking his travel ban executive order. But in doing so, he may have just made it more likely that the courts will keep blocking the ban. People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TR […]
Trump Is Now Lying to His Own National Security Staff June 5, 2017
In his NATO speech a week ago, Donald Trump declined to explicitly endorse Article 5, the provision that says an attack on one is an attack on all. I'm on record as suggesting that reaction to this was sort of overblown, but Susan Glasser provides some behind-the-scenes context to suggest it was quite a bit worse than I thought. It turns out that Trump […]

What's the Deal With Rex Tillerson? June 5, 2017
I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but, um, what's the deal with Rex Tillerson? The guy was CEO of ExxonMobil. Out of the blue, Donald Trump decides to make him Secretary of State, a job about as unexpected as if someone made me head of NASA. He gets confirmed, and since then he's.... What? He refuses to talk to the press. He's barely […]
Republican Congressman on Suspected Islamic Radicals: "Kill Them All" June 5, 2017
In response to the London terror attack, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) had an extreme proposal: kill anyone suspected of being an Islamic radical. On his campaign Faceboook page, Higgins, a former police officer, posted this message: The free world…all of Christendom…is at war with Islamic horror.
