Arizona AG sends cease and desist order to Phoenix church with magic air that hosted Trump – By Daily Kos Staff (AlterNet) / June 28 2020
If anyone thought things were bad in Arizona, and they are, just wait another week or two, when we’ll begin to see the results of 3,000 mostly unmasked young people, who had attended a Trump gabfest, going out into the community.
