My mom received child support for 2 of her 4 kids. It helped our family immensely: groceries, gas, utilities, clothes. This week, the Arizona House passed #HB2502, which will make parents who owe child support, primarily fathers, pay their FAIR SHARE from the date of pregnancy.

“I was once hospitalized because of severe depression. I thought of taking my own life because I felt the world around me had collapsed. I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental-health care.”

“We’re now at the moment when the Democrats, with complete control of the legacy media, nearly all major institutions of power — including those run by the government — are slowly adopting totalitarian practices to shut out speech they don’t like.”
