Nearly 3.83 million searches were run through the Prescott Police Departmentâs Flock automated license plate reader network during the first half of 2026, with nearly half showing no case number and more than 1 million lacking a written explanation. Outside agencies accounted for much of the activity, with the top 10 searchersâall outside Arizonaâconducting 1.38 million searches, or 35.9% of the total; Dallas PD alone conducted more than 306,000. Similar documentation gaps occurred with Yavapai County and Cottonwood police searches, while Prescottâs own internal records showed narcotics as its most common search category. Concerns over privacy, accountability & misuse are prompting Arizona agencies to abandon Flock: Chandler, Tempe, Pinal County, Surprise & Cave Creek have moved away from the system, with officers in Chandler and Apache Junction accused of improperly using it to track family members. Flock has responded by reducing its default data-retention period from 30 days to 7 days and adding restrictions on outside-agency searches.

| 2 |  The Greater Democrats of Tucson & LD20 Democrats are promoting a Sept. 9 âMingling Liberallyâ event using â86 47â as the password. This is absolutely disgusting. â86â can mean to remove or get rid of something, while â47â is commonly used to identify President Trump as the 47th president. Why are Democratic organizations using â86 47â as their event password? Imagine the outrage if conservatives advertised â86 44â for Obama or â86 46â for Biden. Political violence and rhetoric encouraging the assassination of political opponents are completely unacceptable, regardless of party.

| 3 | Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontesâ nonprofit, Strong Democracy Foundation, sent $8,704 to Democracyâs Future PAC on the day Rep. Raul Grijalva died in March 2025, days before Fontes publicly expressed interest in Grijalvaâs congressional seat. From March through Nov. 2025, Democracyâs Future paid Fontes nearly $60,000 for consulting plus more than $3,000 for travel and lodging reimbursements. Fontesâ 2025 financial disclosure identified his services as legal work rather than consulting, and his 2023â2025 disclosures did not list his role as director of Strong Democracy Foundation, despite Arizona Corporation Commission records showing him as director since its formation in 2023. Democracyâs Future was run by Dacey Montoya, treasurer of Gov. Katie Hobbsâ reelection campaign, and spent money on items including dry cleaning, Diamondbacks tickets, car washes, grocery delivery, Las Vegas travel, auto repairs, concert tickets, gym memberships & thousands of dollars in meals, while Montoyaâs firm received $52,560 for compliance consulting. Strong Democracy Foundation reported $400,000 in 2024 revenue, with a separate nonprofit filing showing the Institute for Responsive Government provided the entire $400,000 for âgeneral supportâ; Strong Democracy Foundation did not disclose its contributors in its own filing.

| 5 | A federal judge sanctioned attorney Christina Martinez over portions of a lawsuit brought by former NYC sanitation worker Vincent Maiorino, who claims the city unlawfully denied his religious exemption from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled it was objectively unreasonable for Maiorinoâs attorneys to allege that Catholic employees were âcategoricallyâ or âautomaticallyâ denied exemptions because records available to them showed 102 of 358 Catholic sanitation employees seeking exemptions were approved. Liman ordered the disputed allegations removed and Martinezâs firm to pay the cityâs fees and costs associated with the sanctions motion, but rejected the cityâs request for broader sanctions affecting other lawsuits and did not decide Maiorinoâs underlying religious-discrimination claim. Martinez maintains the lawsuitâs central issue is not whether any Catholics received exemptions, but whether NYC officials improperly judged whether individual religious beliefs were sufficiently âCatholicâ to qualify for protection. Other attorneys challenging NYCâs mandate warn that Rule 11 sanctions could be used to pressure civil-rights lawyers to conform their complaints to the cityâs version of disputed facts, while Martinez plans to continue litigating how the city evaluated religious accommodation requests.

| 6 | The Justice Departmentâs Civil Rights Division filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools, alleging its transgender student policy violates FERPA and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) by allowing school officials to withhold a studentâs claimed gender identity and related records from parents and to ask students sensitive personal questions without required parental consent. The districtâs 2024 Transgender Guideline allows administrators to exclude parents from discussions about a studentâs gender identity on a case-by-case basis, with decisions involving district student-services, equity and legal officials. Education Secretary Linda McMahon had already determined in July and August that the district violated FERPA and PPRA. The district denies the allegations and says it is fully compliant with federal law. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said âparental rights are paramountâ and that schools do not know children better than their parents, while McMahon said the era of schools operating with little accountability under federal parental-rights laws is over.

| 7 | New York City is still fighting FDNY firefighter Timothy Rivicciâs court-ordered back pay nearly four years after a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that the city improperly terminated him for refusing its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, ordered his reinstatement and awarded back pay dating to Nov. 5, 2021, plus attorneyâs fees. Rivicci eventually returned to work, but the city revived an appeal that had initially been dismissed and his back pay remains unresolved. He returns to court Sept. 11, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, while other city employees fired over the mandate also continue seeking reinstatement, lost wages, benefits & pensions. Newly unredacted emails obtained through a records request show senior NYC officials and attorneys discussing standards for religious exemptions, including whether employees had consistently avoided medications and vaccines allegedly associated with fetal cell lines; attorneys challenging the mandate contend thousands of workers were denied accommodations based on questionable criteria. Critics are now accusing Mayor Zohran Mamdaniâs administration of continuing years of litigation against working-class employees even though the COVID emergency and vaccine mandate have ended.

| 8 | The Missouri Supreme Court blocked the stateâs new Republican congressional map from being used in the 2026 midterms, allowing a referendum challenging the map to proceed and requiring voter approval in November before the new districts can take effect in 2028. The GOP-backed map would have shifted Missouriâs congressional delegation toward a likely 7-1 Republican advantage by dismantling Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaverâs Kansas City-based 5th District and dividing it among Republican-leaning districts. Missouri AG Catherine Hanaway announced she will immediately seek relief from the U.S. Supreme Court, calling the decision unprecedented, contrary to federal law & a âconstitutional crisisâ because the map had already been used for the primary. President Donald Trump condemned the ruling as âhorrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional,â arguing there is insufficient time to revert to the previous districts before the general election and that Missouri should be allowed to use the same map used during the primary.

| 9 | Lt. Col. Natalie A. Rowell, a 33-year California Air National Guard veteran and former 195th Force Support Flight Commander at Beale AFB, says she faced retaliation after raising concerns about toxic leadership, favoritism, harassment & failures in accountability. In Sept. 2024, Rowell warned Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers that the Selective Retention Review Board process was being improperly administered, including service members with decades of service allegedly learning by text that they were being discharged. Rowell says retaliation followed and that, while receiving military-directed treatment for a service-connected ankle condition and awaiting a disability evaluation, her Active Guard Reserve orders were curtailed without her knowledge and she was discharged in Jan. 2025. The AGR Air Manager initially assigned to process the curtailment reportedly refused and documented that it was inappropriate. Rowell says she has since received no paycheck or TRICARE benefits and remains unable to retire, while her State IG complaint has remained unresolved since Nov. 2024. She filed a formal reprisal complaint under 10 U.S.C. 1034 in July 2026, Congress renewed its inquiry, and an Aug. 2026 memo requested that Beevers administratively rescind her separation.

| 10 | Former NFL cornerback Alphonso Smith Jr. died at age 40 in an apparent suicide in Florida, shortly after posting a disturbing Facebook message about personal struggles, people he had hurt & his belief that he had not received the help he needed. Smith also alleged that an older woman sexually abused him when he was a child and said that, as a result, he later abused others, asking his family and those he hurt for forgiveness. His final message strongly indicated an intention to take his own life. Smith played four NFL seasons from 2009â2012 after being drafted in the 2nd round by the Denver Broncos, later playing for the Detroit Lions and finishing his career with 88 tackles & 8 interceptions. Before the NFL, he played at Wake Forest, became an All-American & was inducted into the schoolâs athletic Hall of Fame in 2022.

| 11 | Cedartown Police Officer Trenton Garner has been identified as the officer who fatally shot a baby donkey named HeeHaw while assisting a search for a missing 12-year-old girl in Georgia. According to the incident report, officers entered a pasture owned by Elsberry Riding and Farm during the search, where horses became frightened and ran off and Garner said HeeHaw charged toward the officers. A K-9 handler first used a Taser on the donkey, and when that did not stop the animal, Garner shot HeeHaw with his Glock 17, saying he believed it was necessary to protect himself, the K-9 officer & the bloodhounds. Farm owner Hannah Israel disputes that HeeHaw posed a threat, saying the bottle-raised donkey was accustomed to people, used in petting zoos & was merely reacting to strangers entering his pasture. Garner has been placed on leave while the Cedartown Police Department investigates the shooting.

| 12 | Los Angeles podcaster Benjamin Azariah Southworth, 40, was arrested by federal agents and indicted for allegedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump, cyberstalking & making harassing interstate calls. Prosecutors allege Southworth repeatedly posted videos and messages from Jan. through May calling for Trumpâs death, including an April video explicitly calling for his execution, and posted a staged clip depicting himself behind Trump in the Oval Office with a knife. He is also accused of targeting the family of Trumpâs personal attorney by publishing their home address & phone numbers, texting the attorneyâs son and making at least 13 calls that included threats that âjusticeâ would come to their door. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said threats against the president are federal crimes and political violence will be prosecuted. Southworth reportedly claimed some of his statements were âjust rhetoric,â while prosecutors allege they were knowing, willful & intended to be taken seriously. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 12 years in federal prison.

| 13 | World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka defeated qualifier Polina Iatcenko 6-1, 6-1 in 53 minutes at the US Open, extending her tournament winning streak to 16 matches, then sharply challenged an Athletic reporter who suggested the week before the tournament involved âlots of parties and fun.â Sabalenka objected that sponsor appearances were being portrayed as partying instead of training, telling the reporter, âYou guys are, like, a joke,â and asking why he would make that assumption. When he tried to clarify that he meant tournament-related events rather than actual partying, Sabalenka responded that he had âliterally said thatâ and told him to move on. After he then asked whether she had become more âserious and combativeâ once the tournament began, she answered sarcastically, âOh yeah, I wasnât serious before that,â before ending the exchange with, âNext question. Think before you say stuff.â

| 14 | A Richardson ISD parent says her sonâs school-issued laptop blocked searches for President Donald Trump while allowing searches for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris & Jeffrey Epstein. The student discovered the restriction while researching Trump for a school assignment, receiving a âWEBSITE BLOCKED BY RICHARDSON ISDâ message. The parent tested other names and found they were not blocked, raising concerns that the restriction specifically targeted Trump rather than politically sensitive material generally. Richardson ISD, which serves more than 36,000 students across 51 campuses, has not explained whether the block resulted from a glitch, filtering rule or intentional keyword restriction. The parent is seeking answers about who authorized the restriction, which policy or vendor setting caused it & why students were prevented from researching the sitting U.S. president.

| 15 | Former MSNBC host Joy Reid said she struggles to consider conservatives her fellow countrymen, describing them as filled with ârage, hate, crueltyâ and saying she would accept a âmagicalâ division of the U.S. into separate liberal and conservative countries. Reid said conservatives could live in their own country while liberals created one focused on healthcare, voting access & books. Her position contrasts with her response in 2023 when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene proposed a ânational divorceâ; Reid warned then that separating red & blue states would create an âapartheid hellscapeâ with âzero healthcareâ and âcrappy public schools.â

| 16 | America First Legal (AFL), joined by Sens. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Kevin Cramer, Roger Marshall & Jim Banks, filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit supporting parents challenging a California law that allows schools to socially transition children without parental notification or consent. AFL maintains that parentsânot schools or governmentâhave the fundamental constitutional right to direct their childrenâs upbringing, education & care, and that schools act as delegates of parental authority rather than substitutes for parents. The brief argues schools cannot conceal information about a childâs gender identity from parents, parents are constitutionally presumed fit, and the government cannot withhold information from all parents based on concerns that some might be unfit. AFL also argues Californiaâs policy burdens a fundamental parental right and cannot survive strict scrutiny because categorical secrecy is not narrowly tailored to individual circumstances. The senators supporting the brief maintain that parents have a fundamental right to know what is happening with their children and that schools should not secretly socially transition students.

| 17 | A new NIH-funded Columbia University study of 2,514 U.S. children across 23 states found that prenatal exposure to fluoride in drinking water was associated with lower fluid cognitionâthe ability to think logically, adapt, pay attention & solve new problemsâat concentrations as low as 0.675 mg/L, slightly below the 0.7 mg/L level recommended for U.S. fluoridated water. Every 0.5 mg/L increase in estimated prenatal water fluoride was associated with an average 3.36-point decrease in cognitive scores, with substantially larger declines observed among children tested before age 7. The study did not measure individual fluoride intake or establish causation, but its findings add to previous research linking prenatal fluoride exposure with lower cognitive performance and neurobehavioral problems. A 2024 federal ruling concluded that fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L posed an unreasonable risk to childrenâs health and ordered EPA action, although that decision was later overturned on procedural grounds without the appeals court resolving the underlying scientific findings. The National Toxicology Program previously concluded with moderate confidence that higher fluoride exposure, particularly at 1.5 mg/L or above, is associated with lower IQ in children.

| 18 | Ali Alebadi, 20, was indicted in connection with a March 22, 2026 high-speed pursuit and crash in Glendale that killed one person and seriously injured two others. Alebadi allegedly ran multiple red lights and exceeded 90 mph through downtown Glendale, causing two crashes. The first involved a pursuing patrol vehicle and a pickup truck; Alebadi then allegedly ran a red light at 51st & Glendale Aves., struck another vehicle & killed its passenger. A grand jury indicted him on 1 count 1st-degree murder, 1 count 2nd-degree murder, 2 counts aggravated assault & 1 count unlawful flight from law enforcement. He is being held on a $3M cash bond, with trial scheduled for April 2027.

| 19 |  The Maricopa County Superior Court stayed proceedings in RUCO v. Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC), pausing the challenge to the ACCâs Formula Rate Policy while the case remains before the Arizona Court of Appeals. Adopted in Dec. 2024, the policy allows electric, water, wastewater & gas utilities to use an annual rate adjuster mechanism (ARAM) to update rates, intended to reduce regulatory lag, rate shock & costs. RUCO and others contend ARAM should have been adopted through formal rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Superior Court dismissed RUCOâs lawsuit in June 2025, but the Court of Appeals later remanded it to determine whether APA rulemaking was required. That hearing is now stayed pending the appeal. APS, TEP, UniSource, Southwest Gas, Arizona Water Co. & EPCOR Arizona have already included ARAMs in current rate cases, making the eventual ruling significant for future utility rates & customer bills statewide. | 20 |
| 20 | Researchers examining more than 20,000 finished cattle from 33 feedlots found that about 17% of male cattle were lactating, including 19.66% of dairy-cross steers and 14.55% of native steers. Milk samples contained fat, protein, lactose, and solids, confirming that the animals were producing mammary secretions classified as milk. Researchers did not establish a cause but identified excess body fat as one possible factor because fat tissue can increase estrogen production. Other potential contributors include estrogenic growth promotants such as zeranol, mycotoxins such as zearalenone in corn and distillers grains, phytoestrogens from soy and flax, and endocrine-disrupting agricultural and pest-control chemicals. The cumulative âestrogen bucketâ theory is that multiple hormonal exposures within modern feedlot systems may disrupt normal endocrine signaling and contribute to abnormal lactation in males. The broader concern is that conventional beef production has been optimized for rapid growth, low cost, high-density feeding, grain finishing, hormones, feed additives, pesticides, and pharmaceutical interventions, creating biological conditions far removed from cattle raised primarily on pasture and forage. Consumer demand for abundant, inexpensive beef helped create this system, and shifting demand toward grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle without hormonal growth promotants could encourage a different production model.
