🌵 Mondays with Morales: 🔥 From Heatwaves to Harris: Tucson’s Summer of Change
As we kick off another week here in the desert, I find myself reflecting on the wild ride that was the past few days. We’re still picking up the pieces from last week’s freak storm — the howling winds, the golf-ball-sized hail, and the swirling tornados that touched down in the heart of the city. It’s like Mother Nature herself is rising up in revolt, screaming at us to pay attention to the havoc we’re wreaking on the planet.
And amidst all this natural chaos, we’re also grappling with a turbulent political landscape. The news of Biden’s exit from the presidential race has sent shockwaves through the Democratic establishment, even as it’s ignited a surge of excitement around the prospect of a Kamala Harris candidacy. The endorsements are rolling in, from progressive firebrand AOC to our very own Mark Kelly, rumored to be a top contender for the VP slot.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Kamala has a formidable foe, Donald Trump, who, despite (or perhaps because of) the recent attempt on his life, seems to be more emboldened than ever. He’s even found himself a running mate in the form of JD Vance, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author turned conservative darling.
