Arizona is one of only two states that don’t observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). The Navajo Nation, which exists mostly inside Arizona, does observe DST. The Hopi Reservation, which exists entirely inside the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST.

Remember when teams didn't want to sign Colin Kaepernick because they didn't want the distraction? Andy Reid just took five straight minutes of questions for a practice squad kicker who missed more than 25% of his FGs the last time he was in the league.

#Chiefs HC Andy Reid faced five straight minutes of questions about Justin Tucker today, including what message his signing sends to female fans of the team. "He's done his suspension. Took care of his business there. I'll leave it at that." Full back-and-forth exchange below:

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

Currently, 4,000 LAPD employees have access to search the ALPR database. There’s no serious process to vet which of these employees actually need access. LAPD requires no external, independent auditing of these ALPR database searches.

Mississippi's attorney general says a Senatobia police officer was justified in the June shooting death of a 1-year-old boy while responding to a shoplifting call. The conclusion of the state's investigation follows months of mourning and calls for justice. cnn.it/4z0O5X6

He Went to Document an Anti-ICE Protest. He Left Without an Eye.

Since federal agents surged into L.A. last year, at least five people have been shot in the eye at protests, with lasting consequences.

Not a single LAPD received a sustained complaint over cops violating protesters or press at last year’s ICE protests. This is despite the federal courts finding so much abuse against press that they issued a restraining order against the LAPD.

“Last month, LAPMA made its biggest single political contribution ever: donating $100,000 to a political action committee sponsored by the LAPD officers’ union, which also opposes Raman. In keeping with California election laws, LAPMA promptly disclosed the $100,000 contribution in a filing to the Secretary of State. But there was a problem: The person who signed the paperwork, David Lara, has been dead since 2024, following complications from esophageal cancer.”

Trouble in LA’s deep state: the union that represents managers in LA city government has listed a dead man as their political committee treasurer for 2+ years and failed to disclose tens of thousands of dollars in political donations. And the union is being sued over alleged “financial irregularities” including $3.7M in unpaid dues In today’s @LAMaterialNews >> lamaterial.com/p/la-managers…

“Fucking deport them, call ICE.” LAPD whistleblower recorded a recruitment division officer saying that in a conversation *about Latinos.* LAPD Chief McDonnell had the DA charge the whistleblower w/16 felonies, but let bigot keep his job. Should Chief McDonnell be fired?
