Read my op-ed for @azcentral.com about how bills by the @usprogressives.bsky.social Lowering Costs Task Force would tackle corruption and make life more affordable for all Americans.
“It’s time to rebuild the American dream, for this generation. A version rooted in dignity, belonging and real power for real people. We need a New American Dream."
@repgregstanton.bsky.social and I led the Arizona delegation in demanding accountability from Secretary Mullin regarding the ongoing measles outbreak at the Florence Correctional Center. DHS must take action to prevent further transmission.
Americans are fed up with Trump family corruption, and so am I.
Todd Blanche's criminal activity extends beyond his direction of the Epstein Files cover-up. He has weaponized the DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents. He wants to give a massive payout to January 6 insurrectionists. He must be investigated and come before the Oversight Committee.
Todd Blanche is leading the most egregious cover-up in American history. He cannot be confirmed as Attorney General. We need an AG who’s serious about investigating and prosecuting criminals in the Epstein Files.
Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, directed the Epstein Files cover-up. He's doxxed survivors. He's weaponized the Department of Justice at the direction of Trump. I urge the Senate to vote NO on his confirmation.
The United States bombed an elementary school in Minab, Iran this past March under Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. There must be an investigation and there must be accountability. This is a stain on our country’s history.
THIS IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS NOT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS MURDER.
I filed Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth for repeatedly impeachable conduct. From extrajudicial boat strikes in the Caribbean, to the bombing of a school in Minab, Iran where more than 100 children were murdered, he has overseen war crimes. Impeach Hegseth.
I'm grateful to AFGE Arizona for the work they do to ensure safety and fairness for federal agency workers in our community. I heard directly from federal correctional employees about how I can help in Congress with improving workplace safety and protecting their rights.
As the Trump Administration has deported servicemembers, cut VA services, and recklessly endangered troops in an illegal war with Iran, I won't hesitate to support our most patriotic Americans.
Marcos, an asylum seeker who's detained at the Florence Correctional Center in Arizona, told me that it was tough in the Mesa Gateway ICE facility. No showers, eating the same food, and sleeping on very hard floors for seven days. Having to buy clean drinking water.
I spoke with Marcos, an asylum seeker who's detained at the Florence Correctional Center in Arizona. I couldn't meet him in-person due to a measles outbreak there. He fears ending up as the next Emmanuel Damas.
This is unconscionable. Children were murdered in the first days of Trump’s illegal, pointless war that has wreaked havoc across the world. It is an abomination. It is a war crime. And it is why I’ve introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth. I urge my colleagues to join me.
One year after Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans signed the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” into law, Arizona families are paying the price. Republicans chose higher costs, SNAP cuts, and billions more for ICE over working families.
If we want the American Dream to mean something again, we have to rebuild the systems underneath it so all people feel represented, empowered and connected again. This is the New American Dream. I'm wishing everyone in AZ-03 and across the country a safe and happy 4th of July!
One year after Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill, more than 5 million Americans are being forced to ration the medications they need to live. With Medicare for All, we can regulate prescription drug pricing. The health of our nation cannot continue to be at the whims of corporations.
Today, SCOTUS handed down another devastating setback for transgender rights, allowing states to ban transgender girls from participating in girls’ school sports. That makes the work that One Community is doing to support LGBTQIA+ people and businesses across AZ-03 more important than ever.
Today, as Arizona mourns and remembers the Granite Mountain Hotshots, my thoughts are also with the loved ones of Glendale's own Nick Hutcherson, who was lost fighting the Knowles Fire.
Join @usprogressives.bsky.social for a hearing today that will bring together CPC members and experts for important healthcare conversations about bringing down prescription drug costs, passing Medicare for All, and more. Watch on mine or CPC's Facebook or my YouTube channel at 2pm ET.
The Trump Administration is the most corrupt in American history, and it's not even close. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will investigate and hold them accountable for their crimes.
Loved chatting with CHCI and Close Up DC students, including those from Phoenix and Glendale! We talked about tackling some of our most pressing challenges—from reining in Arizona’s ESA program to making housing more affordable for all.
Leon Black speaks fondly of Epstein, enabled some of his crimes, & has serious sexual assault allegations against himself. Trump's DOJ under Todd Blanche should've investigated him. Black will return—under oath & a subpoena. I’ll always pursue justice for the victims & an end to the cover-up.
Democrats support a strong Earth MRI program because we support science, public data, and evidence-based decision-making across the board. I hope that Republicans can join us in supporting the investments in the scientists, universities, and state partners that make Earth MRI happen.
On the fourth anniversary of Dobbs, we must continue to fight back to protect everyone's right to get the reproductive healthcare they need, when and where they need it—including safe and legal abortions. I introduced the HER Agenda to expand reproductive healthcare.
While honoring @barackobama.bsky.social’s historic presidency, the Obama Presidential Center is ultimately about looking forward.
ICE is filing papers to deport Karla Toledo after she filed the correct paperwork and an immigration judge dismissed her case. It’s one more example of the utter cruelty of Donald Trump's despotic mass deportation agenda. I stand with Karla and Dreamers in Arizona and around the country.
