Good Morning! On this day in 1907, Tucson banned tuberculosis patients from pitching tents within city limits, leading many to live in makeshift tent cities on the outskirts.

There has been no shortage of noise around the Lindsay Clancy trial. Conspiracy theories, hot takes, and bad legal analyses have drowned out the actual facts. So we stripped away the bias and the agenda and laid out what really happened, including the courtroom decision everyone was talking about last week. Plus, what three jurors just revealed about the chaos inside that deliberation room. Join Ayla on The Flyover Podcast for the story without the spin. Tune in here!

Kirk’s Work Continues a Year Later

One year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the Phoenix-based organization he co-founded is continuing its nationwide campus tours and political operations.

In Arizona, Turning Point USA drew President Trump to its Build the Red Wall rally in Phoenix on April 17, Trump’s first visit to the state since Kirk’s memorial filled State Farm Stadium in Glendale.

From large college events to smaller memorials such as corn mazes in his image, Kirk continues to draw tributes nationally.

A memorial honoring his life and legacy will take place today at Utah Valley University, where he was fatally shot a year ago during an outdoor event. You can see an overview of the key events since his assassination here.

Heat Deaths Surge

Maricopa County reported 150 heat-related deaths so far this year, a 97% increase over the 76 recorded at the same point in 2025.

Yuma County reported 26 heat deaths so far, more than the 19 counted in all of last year.

In Maricopa County, another 629 deaths remain under investigation as possibly heat-related, a figure the county describes as the maximum possible total rather than an expected one. Health officials say nearly half of confirmed heat death victims had drugs or alcohol in their system.

Today will mark the Valley’s 47th day under an extreme heat warning this year, one short of the record set in 2020.

More Eggs Roll In

An additional 2.1 million eggs are heading to three Arizona food banks under a multistate price-fixing settlement with major egg producers.

Buckeye-based Hickman’s Egg Ranch is delivering the eggs to St. Mary’s Food Bank in Phoenix, United Food Bank in Mesa, and the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona in Tucson. St. Mary’s gets the largest share at 1,318,860 eggs, followed by Mesa with 489,960 and Tucson with 361,080.

In mid-August, the Yuma Community Food Bank received about 180,000 eggs from Cal-Maine Foods for distribution around the region.

Investigators allege that Hickman’s, Cal-Maine Foods, and Versova/Centrum manipulated a daily egg price index from June 2022 to March 2025, inflating costs for retailers and consumers nationwide. Across 17 states, the companies agreed to donate 53 million eggs and pay $3.3 million.
