The Arizona Supreme Court has revived an 1864 criminal ban on abortion.
The Civil War-era law, which predated Arizona statehood by almost a half a century, prohibits abortion at any stage of pregnancy, for any reason other than when “necessary” to save the pregnant person’s life. The ban carries a penalty of up to five years in prison for abortion providers.
“
hysicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal,” the court’s opinion read.

If you’re going to sit down for an interview with Jon Stewart, you best be ready to get properly pressed on the subjects you’re talking about. The talk show host doesn’t shy away from challenging subjects on guests’ views, as plenty of politicians have learned.
Over the last year, Stewart sat down with several officials across multiple states for his Apple TV+ series “The Problem With Jon Stewart,” digging in on issues like gun violence and election misinformation. Sometimes, it gets heated.
Stewart has never been shy about his own opinions, so we rounded up several top moments from the show in which he pushed back (in no particular order).
1. Arizona Attorney General
In October 2022, Stewart sat down with Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and, despite Stewart’s best efforts, Brnovich would not admit that Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election being stolen were just that: lies.

Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich failed to report evidence disproving claims of election fraud in the state, instead releasing a letter in April 2022 alleging “serious vulnerabilities” in the states voting systems, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Brnovich, then a Republican candidate in the Arizona Republican Senate primary, omitted findings from his office’s investigation refuting claims of election fraud and misconduct in the 2020 election from the version of the report he submitted to the state Senate.
The internal draft reports, provided to the Post by current Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes,...

San Francisco, Oct 6 (Ians) Google is paying 85 million to the state of Arizona in the US to settle the claims that the tech giant illegally tracked the location of Android users.
The settlement is one of the largest ever paid by Google (per capita) in a consumer fraud lawsuit, reports The Verge.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich had sued Google in May 2020, claiming that “dark patterns” were built into its software on Android smartphones and apps.
According to the lawsuit, Google kept location tracking running in the background to collect advertising data, even after users had turned off location sharing.
A company spokesperson said the case was based on outdated product policies that have long since been updated.
“We provide straightforward controls and auto delete options for location data, and are always working to minimise the data we collect. We are pleased to have this matter resolved,” said the company spokesperson.

A review conducted by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich found that of the 282 ballots alleged by pro-Trump auditors as having been cast in the name of dead individuals, just one could be linked to a “dead voter.” The review by the Arizona Republican candidate for Senate marks another bucket of cold water on conspiracies about voter fraud in Arizona in the 2020 election.
The dead person’s ballot was not counted towards the results of the 2020 election, and a spokesperson for Brnovich indicated “the facts of the case did not support...

John Oliver checked in on the midterm elections Sunday night, focusing on the Arizona senate race and having a ball tearing through some of the odd Republican campaign ads and strategies.
Arizona is represented by two Democrats: Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly. According to Oliver, Republicans think they can unseat Kelly, but it’s a competitive GOP primary.
First, there’s Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, whose “whole vibe” is on display as he shows off his nunchuck skills in a pair of videos celebrating the end of the state’s ban on the exotic weapons. The first video was apparently so popular that people demanded more, so in the sequel, Brnovich simply says, “You want more chucks? You got more chucks.”
“Now, I know that that is ridiculous, but I personally am enjoying Danny McBride’s newest character, and I’m excited to see where he goes with it,...

Elizabeth Holmes's life is being thrust back into the spotlight amid Hulu's upcoming docuseries "The Dropout." Holmes claimed that the technology at her blood test start-up Theranos could detect hundreds of results using minimal blood. Her claim was proven false and in 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Holmes with 11 counts of fraud and conspiracy of Theranos investors and patients. In January 2022, she was convicted of four of those charges, but none of them had to do with patients who reported inaccurate testing results.
Prosecutors called on 29 witnesses from doctors to retail executives who distributed Theranos over the course of her trial. Of those 29, two patients testified that the lab technology gave them inaccurate and potentially dangerous results.
Brittany Gould testified that in 2014 she took a Theranos blood test at a Walgreens store in Arizona to measure a pregnancy hormone after learning that was expecting a baby,...

There are two ways to tell that Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich takes his job very seriously and should be trusted by news outlets to educate millions of Americans about sensitive issues.
One is that he shortens “attorney general” to “general” in his Twitter handle, as if serving as Arizona’s top legal official confers some sort of military acumen or relevance.
The other is this:

Updated with President Biden’s response: President Joe Biden knocked the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold voting restrictions in Arizona today in a scathing statement citing “severe damage to two of the most important provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 – a law that took years of struggle and strife to secure.”
“I am deeply disappointed in today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court that undercuts the Voting Rights Act, and upholds what Justice Kagan called “a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities,” Biden said.
“After all we have been through to deliver the promise of this Nation to all Americans, we should be fully enforcing voting rights laws, not weakening them. Yet this decision comes just over a week after Senate Republicans blocked even a debate – even consideration – of the For the People Act that would have protected the right to vote from action by Republican...

San Francisco, May 30 (Ians) Google reportedly collected location data even after users had turned off location sharing, and made privacy settings difficult for users to find, the media reported.
According to a report in Insider, unredacted documents in a lawsuit against Google in Arizona state in the US revealed that the "company's own executives and engineers knew just how difficult the company had made it for smartphone users to keep their location data private".
The documents showed that Google "pressured smartphone manufacturers" into keeping privacy settings hidden, because the settings were popular with users.
The lawsuit was filed against Google by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich last year, alleging that the tech giant tracked Android users' location without their consent, even when they had disabled location tracking features.
