If we’re going to get our country back on track, we have to flip the House in November and elect fighters ready to hit the ground running. I’m proud to endorse this slate of candidates who have proven that they’re ready to take the fight to Washington.
Los problemas que enfrentan actualmente los niños y los hombres requieren soluciones serias. Demasiados niños crecen sin modelos masculinos a seguir, por lo que presenté dos proyectos de ley para ayudar a solucionar esta situación.
Microchip manufacturing is coming back to America thanks to our CHIPS and Science Act. It became law four years ago today, and Arizona has seen tens of thousands of new jobs and a growing economy. I’m proud we got it done.
Back at the house I grew up in in New Jersey. It’s changed a lot, but the people that live in communities like these are still the same – hardworking, determined, and proud. They deserve a government that works as hard as they do.

If you’re sick of the rising costs, the corruption, and war, then now is the time to get involved.
Spent the weekend in Ohio, and it was packed house after packed house for @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Veterans, union members, and folks across Ohio are all fired up to vote for him in November. These folks know they can count on Sherrod because he’s always had their back.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.
The SAVE Act will make it harder to vote, period. And that’s the point! It's wrong, and I won't stand for it.
We’re less than a month from NASA launching the newest space-based observatory: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. With a field-of-view 100x greater than Hubble’s, it will be able to survey our universe and investigate exoplanets and dark energy better than ever before.
Visited the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. Got to see the shuttle simulator that I spent thousands of hours in. One of the best aviation museums in the world. No surprise since Ohio is the birthplace of the Wright Brothers, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, and Jim Lovell.
Ohio voters could change the direction of the entire country in November. That starts with electing Democrats up and down the ballot — including fighters like Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton! I can tell Ohio Democrats are ready to win, and I’m going to do everything I can to help them.
Too many Arizonans are struggling with rising housing costs. That’s why we passed our bipartisan housing legislation to lower costs and make owning a home easier. It’ll make a big difference, as we fight to lower costs across the board.
Americans are frustrated because hard work just doesn’t pay off like it used to. We have a chance to change that and hold this Administration accountable, and it starts with electing fighters like @roycoopernc.bsky.social in North Carolina.
50 years ago this month, NASA's Viking 1 became the first US spacecraft to land safely on Mars and send back images from its surface. It opened the door to everything we know about the Red Planet today.
Trump promised no new wars and lower costs for the American people. The only thing he’s delivered is chaos, corruption, and conflict.
The Supreme Court is gutting a law that's ensured Black Americans' political power for 60 years. This is a direct attack on Black representation. The way we win it back is at the ballot box, and by throwing these clowns in Washington out of office.
Being a dad to Claudia and Claire, and grandpa to Sage is the best job I've ever had. On National Parents' Day, I’m so grateful for them, for Gabby, and for every Arizona parent doing the hard work of raising kids.
Got together with folks in Phoenix to talk about my new initiative to help young men. Bottom line: Too many boys grow up without male role models. So, I’m working to get more men teaching, coaching, mentoring, and volunteering so they can be the role models our communities need.
Great crowd for Governor Katie Hobbs in Phoenix yesterday! Arizonans are fired up and ready for November because they want leaders that will actually fight for them — and Katie is that kind of leader.
The top 1% owns as much wealth as our entire middle class, while too many Americans who've done everything right still can't afford a home. This isn't a coincidence — it was planned. We fix it by knocking more doors, making more calls, and winning back our power this November.
The saguaro cactus is a symbol of Arizona. We owe it to future generations to protect them.
Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Secretary of Defense we’ve ever had, and it makes our country less safe.
Fewer men are teaching, coaching, and volunteering than a generation ago, so more boys are growing up without different kinds of male role models. I introduced two bills to help fix that — recruiting more men into classrooms and other kinds of service to strengthen communities.
Marlene Galán-Woods will be a relentless fighter for Arizona families. Whether it's working across the aisle to bring down costs or protecting our fundamental rights, she is exactly the kind of common sense leader we need more of. I’m proud to support her in #AZ01.
I was proud to be in Colorado supporting candidates who will help us change the direction of our country. We need to re-elect John Hickenlooper and Jason Crow — and flip critical Republican House seats by electing fighters like Eileen Luabacher, Manny Rutinel, and Jessica Killin.
Owning a home has become out of reach for too many Americans, but that’s changing today. Our bill to build more homes and crack down on hedge funds buying houses has finally become law, which will lower housing costs and help more families finally afford the American Dream.
The Grand Canyon looks pretty spectacular as slice of birthday cake. It was great to decorate Arizona’s contribution for the America 250 birthday cake project with Grace Pak!
AI can solve a lot of problems for us, but it needs to work for everyone — not just billionaires and big tech. That's why I'm pushing to make sure workers aren’t left behind while big corporations profit.
