Bakery Owner’s Controversial Stance | Mesa News

Bakery owner Will Porter is facing backlash after appearing in a video that seemed to endorse Andrew Tate and influencer Clavicular—figures tied to the controversial “manosphere.” The fallout intensified as Tate faced arrest on serious charges, sparking outrage from customers who say they’ll boycott the shop. Porter apologized, claiming he doesn’t support misogyny, but critics argue his participation in the discussion was a calculated choice. The debate centers on whether his actions—however unintentional—sent the wrong message to customers and society, especially young men exposed to these ideologies online.

Who Represents Us When Few Vote | Mesa News

In Arizona’s recent congressional primary, Mark Lamb won his spot with just 8% of eligible voters casting ballots — a stark snapshot of a deeper problem: in many districts, a tiny, unrepresentative slice of the electorate is deciding who holds power. Professor Henry Thomson’s research reveals that off-year elections, often held during summer vacation with no big statewide races, suffer from abysmally low turnout — usually under 30% — and those who vote tend to be older, wealthier, and more organized, skewing outcomes and weakening accountability. With only two of Arizona’s nine congressional districts truly competitive, and primaries in safe districts like Lamb’s effectively sealing the outcome, the system risks letting a small, unrepresentative group dictate who leads — raising urgent questions about whether “we the people” are truly being served.

Arizona Hits Record Energy Demand | Mesa News

Arizona just shattered electricity records as extreme heat pushed demand to unprecedented levels—both major utilities hit their all-time peak on July 24, with usage up five percent over last year’s record. This isn’t a fluke: record-breaking demand has become the norm, fueled by soaring temperatures, rapid population growth, and booming businesses. Experts say homeowners can cut costs by running fans counterclockwise, sealing doors and windows, and changing filters monthly—and avoid peak hours between 4 and 7 PM if on time-based pricing. The trend isn’t slowing down—demand could hit 12,000 megawatts in eight years, a statewide crisis affecting all providers. Utilities are ready, but the scale is staggering: over 9,000 megawatts at once—like thousands of big stores running full tilt.
