Trump's big bill made it easy for Arizona congressmen to stick it to voters
Here's how we absolutely, positively know that Arizona Republican U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs, David Schweikert, Eli Crane, Paul Gosar, Abe Hamadeh and Juan Ciscomani sold out every person who voted for them and betrayed rural counties when they supported Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act: It is because the worst elements of the legislation — and there are a lot — won't kick into until after the 2026 midterms. Trump's toadies from Arizona were more than happy to shrivel under the thumb of Dear Leader and vote for the bill, knowing that he had provided them cover until after their next reelection campaigns. The billionaires will get their tax breaks right way, but the big pain to states like Arizona won't happen until after November 2026. Of course, by then the congressmembers who supported the bill will expect to have been reelected and can start laying out promises (that they won't keep) for 2028. In the meantime, Arizona will be one of the three hardest hit states when the $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid start taking effect. That's because Arizona is one of the few states with a so-called 'trigger law.' In our case, the state would automatically repeal our Medicaid expansion program if federal funding drops below 80%. According to KFF, formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than 2.1 million people are enrolled in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, or AHCCCS. That includes 754,600 children, 194,040 seniors and 172,480 people with disabilities. Under Trump's bill (approved by Republicans only) hundreds of thousands of those Arizonans could lose health care coverage. Seniors. Children. People with life-threatening conditions. Apparently, our GOP representatives in Washington are much more interested in saving their professional lives than in saving the actual lives of Arizonans. Their fealty is to Trump and Trump only. Opinion: Trump shows charity to none, malice to all And because Trump wanted to make sure that the wealthiest 1% got their massive tax cuts, our representatives wanted to make sure that the wealthiest 1% got their massive tax cuts — a total $117 billion in 2026 alone. After all, whom do you think finances political campaigns? Among other things, the massive Medicaid cuts are expected to cause numerous rural health care facilities around the country to close. That means even people with health care will have nowhere to get help. Democratic U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton said of his Republican colleagues, 'They're going to regret this vote. Not just politically, but on a moral level.' I doubt that. The Trump toadies are covered, politically, until after the next election. And to regret what they did on a 'moral level' they would need to have … well, morals. Reach Montini at Like this column?

House Democrats targeting 35 Republicans in 2026
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee rolled out a list of 35 House Republicans it plans to target in the 2026 midterms on Tuesday. The list, which the DCCC called its Districts in Play, includes Alaska Rep. Nick Begich (R); Arizona Reps. David Schweikert (R), Eli Crane (R) and Juan Ciscomani (R); California Reps. David Valadao (R), Young Kim (R) and Ken Calvert (R); Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans (R); and Florida Reps. Cory Mills (R), Anna Paulina Luna (R) and Maria Elvira Salazar (R). The committee is also targeting Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R), Ashley Hinson (R) and Zach Nunn (R); the open seat in Kentucky's sixth congressional district; Michigan Reps. Bill Huizenga (R) and Tom Barrett (R); the open seat in Michigan's 10th congressional district; Missouri Rep. Ann Wagner (R); Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon (R); New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R); and New York Rep. Mike Lawler (R ). The final names on the list are Ohio Reps. Max Miller (R), Mike Turner (R) and Mike Carey (R); Pennsylvania Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R), Ryan Mackenzie (R), Rob Bresnahan (R) and Scott Perry (R); Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles (R); Texas Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R); Virginia Rep. Rob Wittman (R); and Wisconsin Reps. Bryan Steil (R) and Derrick Van Orden (R). Rep. John James (R-Mich.), who is running for governor, currently holds Michigan's 10th congressional district, while Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), who is running for Senate, represents Kentucky's sixth congressional district. Hinson, Ogles, Miller, Turner, Carey, Mills, Huizenga and the open seat in Kentucky's sixth district are new additions to the target list since the 2024 cycle. House Democrats say the political environment is favorable for them going into 2026, pointing to the negative impacts of President Trump's recently announced tariffs, the unpopularity of Elon Musk and potential cuts to Medicaid. 'House Republicans are running scared, and they should be. They're tanking the economy, gutting Medicaid, abandoning our veterans, and making everything more expensive. In short, they've lost the trust of their constituents, and it's going to cost them the majority,' DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) said in a statement. Last month, the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee (NRCC) released its target list, which included 26 House Democrats.
