Arizonans have been voting by mail for over 30 years, including a majority of Republicans, Democrats, and independents. It’s simple and secure. But Washington Republicans are trying to change that because they want to make it harder to vote. It’s wrong, plain and simple.

Even during the darkest days of the Jim Crow era, efforts to disenfranchise Black voters have always claimed to be "race neutral." The Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act is Jim Crow in new clothes.

There are no Republican deficit hawks anymore. Not when they have proven that every time they win power, they will blow up the debt on war and tax cuts for billionaires.

76 days of Republicans’ disarray and confusion led to accepting the offer Senate Democrats made on Day 1. First, after much delay, Republican Senators agreed unanimously; then the House Republicans, after more delay, ultimately also agreed. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

We asked the Trump admin what advice they’d give to farmers struggling with rising gas and fertilizer prices. Spoiler: they know these tariffs are hurting farmers and had no good answer.

Ukraine is figuring out modern warfare in real time. We could be learning from them, but we're not. Because Hegseth has made generals afraid to talk to our own allies. That's how you fall behind. McCain Institute

This rhetoric is unacceptable from our Secretary of Defense and another example of Hegseth being absolutely unfit to lead. Via: @cnn.com

Pete Hegseth has promoted Pentagon staffers who have peddled antisemitic tropes – and now, he’s tripling down on his own use of a term with a history of being weaponized against Jewish communities.

Just left a beautiful service in New Ulm filled with community members honoring Cpt. Bill Bianchi. A recipient of the Medal of Honor in WWII, Cpt. Bianchi was killed in action in 1945 at 29 years old. His remains were identified last August. His family kept his memory alive. May he rest in peace.

Ukraine is winning right now. We should arm them, give them the intelligence they need, and let them strike deep into Russia. Instead we're making them beg for it. Democrat or Republican, the next administration has to make the decision: we want Ukraine to win. McCain Institute

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

My constituents are paying, on average, nearly $3,000 in higher costs due to inflation this year. The President promised to “end inflation,” but instead has done the exact opposite with his tariffs and war.

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

Even though OBGYNs and medical researchers agree it’s safe to prescribe via telehealth and deliver via mail!
- TS
Even under the now-halted FDA policy, patients still had to talk to their provider before getting medication for an abortion. This just bans telehealth appointments because anti-choice politicians want to make it as inconvenient and difficult as possible to get mifepristone.
- AK
A Louisiana federal court just blocked access to mifepristone by mail, limiting how patients can receive an FDA-approved medication. This decision creates new barriers to care. We must restore women’s access to health care.
- MC
Make no mistake, this puts women’s lives and rights at risk. This is wrong, and I will keep fighting to protect and restore access to reproductive health care. (3/3)
- MC
But this ruling will restrict access to this safe medication for women in every state – including those that have repeatedly affirmed abortion rights, like Washington. (2/3)
- MC
Mifepristone is a safe and effective abortion medication that has been used by millions of people since the FDA approved it more than a quarter century ago. (1/3)

We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further. Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.
