“The winners today are the teachers of Arizona,” Ducey said at a press conference Thursday.

He just left out one major detail: how to pay for it.

Back in March, the world’s largest video site, a division of Alphabet’s Google, said it would ban any content that promotes the sale of guns and gun accessories, or modifications to make them deadlier.

Courtesy flags reaching from Totem’s bow to masthead flutter in the breeze, a colorful strand representing most of the countries we’ve visited while sailing around the world.
