Where does 25 equal 30, and 22.7 percent equal "most?" The Arizona Republic's "Fact Check: Keeping Arizona Honest" column, of course. In Sunday's paper, as a reader informed us this week, a fact-check completely flubs the evaluation of Mark Brnovich's comment on TV last month about the state's medical-marijuana patients...
In yet another blow to Arizona's state-imposed system of terror targeting the undocumented, U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell on Monday enjoined both Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery and Sheriff Joe Arpaio from enforcing two identity theft statutes that underpinned Arpaio's infamous worksite raids. Campbell, a conservative judge nominated to...
They just don't make them like they used to. And the ones they used to? They're in different states of repair. While some old neighborhoods have fallen on hard times, there are other historic 'hoods that are not only alive and well, but thriving. These home tour hotspots have kept...
The thieves approached the house under the cover of darkness, sneaking behind the two-bedroom dwelling in Chandler rented by Arizona State University student Zachary Rowe. Rowe, 25, was a pre-law major in his final year as an undergrad. He lived alone with his dog, Chloe, and apparently was watching TV...
In revisiting all the beers I drank and reviewed in this space over the past year, I realized something: we live in a golden age of beer. In 2014, the number of breweries operating in the U.S. topped 3,000 -- a threshold that hasn't been reached since the 1870s. Some...

Put down the cupcake, and release the lever on the soft serve. Doughnuts are back in black, baby -- although some might argue that they never left. Either way, we can all agree that this deep-fried pastry has never been more on top of its game. The circular confection that...
Anyone can tell by looking at Kyle Middlebrooks' battered practice helmet that the guy has taken some hard knocks. The Arizona State University senior running back sustained several serious injuries during his four-year college football career. Just months after recovering from surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder, Middlebrooks tore his...
The thing about hating your job and not giving a shit is that it can happen to anyone, anytime — it might even explain the longueurs late in most two-term presidencies. In Talya Lavie's bored, biting comedy Zero Motivation, aggrieved ennui hits right in the heart of the Intifada. Not...
Arizona's home to the most political corruption in America. That's according to a survey of reporters nationwide, done by researchers at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics...

Every band in the world has a standard-issue video in which the lead singer lip-syncs lyrics into the camera while the band pretends to play their instruments. Sometimes the backgrounds in front of which they're playing change. Other times,...

With almost 97 percent of precincts reporting, the race for Superintendent of Public Instruction remains tight, and neither camp is ready to give up. Republican Diane Douglas currently has 51.08 percent of the votes, while Democrat David Garcia holds 48.79 percent. That 2.29 point margin represents a difference of 25,632...
Democrat and former state lawmaker Kyrsten Sinema has kept her seat in Congress, easily besting her Republican competitor, Air Force vet Wendy Rogers. Sinema's victory in Arizona's CD9 flew against the prevailing winds nationally in a heavily Republican election night. So did the apparent victory of Ann Kirkpatrick in CD1...
And it begins. One solid week where rich outsiders and big money descend on Phoenix, inflating ticket prices, creating traffic, and bringing the nation's eyes upon our sleepy little valley. All things Super Bowl don't really ramp up until Wednesday, but until then there's still plenty to do. Here are...
An independent report on the two-hour execution of Joseph Wood earlier this year gives a positive review of how the Arizona Department of Corrections carried out the execution. This report was commissioned by the state after the extraordinarily long execution, which went on for so long that Wood's federal public...

"What happened: I blame myself. I fell." That's what Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said from his hospital bed last year in an official video he posted about breaking his arm. As usual, the six-term politician (who vowed back in the 1990s to only serve one term) wasn't exactly telling...
Four Arizona lawmakers appear to have lost their primary races. Three Democrats and one Republican are losing races in which all or nearly all of the voting precincts have reported their results, and each lawmaker facing a loss is doing so under different circumstances...
