They're baaaacccckkkkkk. On Monday, the Arizona Legislature gavels back into session.
And while things will be relatively quiet this week, a few of the nuggets of ugly will start moving through the legislative process by Tuesday.
Note: HHR refers to a hearing room in the House building; SHR refers to one in the Senate building.
Note2: Generally, I'll only specify bills that look to spread propaganda. Other bills may be more conventionally bad (think: corrupt or other misuses of public monies and/or authority). My recommendation is that if an agenda covers an area of interest to you, read the entire agenda.
Note3: Each chamber's respective Rules Committee meets on Monday, the House's in HHR4 at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, also at 1 p.m. Both committees serve as rubber stamps for bills leadership wants to be advanced and gatekeepers for measures that leadership wants stopped.
Note4: Meeting start times may be listed, but are flexible. Before journeying to the Capitol or viewing the meeting online, verify the start time.
Note5: Watch for strikers, or strike everything amendments. Those involve inserting language that replaces the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one.
On Monday, 1/8 - No committee meetings are scheduled.
That will change.
On Tuesday, 1/9 
-
Senate Transportation, Technology, and Missing Children meets at 9 a.m.in SHR2. No bills on this agenda; just some ADOT-related presentations.
I am wondering how transportation and technology are related to missing children.
House Natural Resources, Energy & Water meets at 2 p.m. in HHR1. On the agenda: three bills that read as if they were written by industry lobbyists...but are sponsored by the committee chair, Rep. Gail Griffin.
They'll pass committee.
The phrase "nuggets of ugly" doesn't only cover culture war stuff; sometimes it refers to other things.
