No state has seen a greater percentage of families kicked off food assistance than Arizona, and it's the direct result of Trump and Republicans gutting SNAP while Americans struggle to get by. I won't stop fighting to fix this so Arizona kids don’t go hungry.

Trump is trying to crush our First Amendment rights. I refuse to live in a country where a crooked President can illegally use the force of the federal government to push a talk show host off the air. Time to speak up and protect free speech in America.

Tens of thousands of people are going to die because this regime prioritizes conspiracy theories over science and years of proven research. This lethal decision can't even be blamed on incompetence. This decision is just plain evil and cruel. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

USDA's reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service will close research facilities critical to communities in New England—including New Hampshire’s own Bartlett Experimental Forest. I am doing all I can to fight back against this effort.

Once again, President Trump is using the power of the presidency to go after his political enemies. This is what corruption looks like.

Children as young as four years old are repeatedly being forced to show up to immigration court, often without legal help. That’s not due process.

The American people deserve accountability, transparency, and a process they can trust. But under this Department of Justice, the Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein files as required by law. This audit is a necessary step toward transparency and justice.

We should use AI to advance medical research in months instead of years. But we’ll have some real problems if we use AI to deny Medicare coverage and delay people’s healthcare.

No one in Arizona has ever told me they want another war. Not once. Trump has started two in 5 months. 13 servicemembers are dead. Now he's threatening Cuba. I'm urging the Senate to vote yes on our war powers resolution. No unauthorized war in Cuba. Come to Congress and make the case.

Voting rights used to be an overwhelming bipartisan cause. Donald Trump has changed that. We need an explicit guarantee to the right to vote in the Constitution. I just introduced it.

Trump owns this disastrous war in Iran and ever-rising gas prices. And there is no end in sight. It’s Trump at the pump.

13 American service members are dead. $1 BILLION taxpayer dollars have been spent EACH DAY dropping bombs in Iran. Americans can't afford Donald Trump's war.

Always good to sit down with the folks at the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. The jobs, the manufacturing, the semiconductor industry, the growth happening in the Valley right now, it's real. And it's worth fighting to protect.

The last thing working Americans need right now is another war—let alone one that’s 90 miles south of the U.S. @democrats.senate.gov will advance another War Powers Resolution to give Republicans an opportunity to stop a looming catastrophe in Cuba.

Particularly as an Alexandria resident, this bill to “make DC square again” is a sad, distracting attempt to disenfranchise Virginians. Republicans should join us in actually working to improve costs, health care, and housing… not doing partisan stunts.

Good news: across the U.S., anti-immigration bills in state legislatures are failing—in large part because the business community is pushing back. I'm glad more folks are recognizing the immense contributions immigrants make to our nation. They deserve to be celebrated.

We’re two months into Trump’s war with Iran, and what does he have to show for it? 13 Americans dead and many more injured. Higher prices for Americans at home. Tens of billions of dollars spent. None of which has made life any better for the American people.

I welcome the long overdue release of Polish journalist Andrzej Poczobut who had been cruelly jailed in Belarus since 2021. It’s also time that Belarusian opposition leader and likely 2020 election winner Svetlana Tikhanovskaya be able to safely return.

Linda McMahon fired half the staff at the Office for Civil Rights—the people who handle cases of sexual harassment & assault against students. Know how many cases have been resolved since then? Neither did she. But you'd think the Secretary of Education could count to ZERO.

It's day 59 of Trump's war with Iran. Gas prices are 40% higher since the war began.

Education Secretary McMahon claimed TRIO and GEAR UP, which open the door for thousands to attend college, is too costly. But somehow, cutting taxes for our nation’s wealthiest and exploding our national debt by over 4 trillion isn’t. It’s clear where this Administration's priorities lie.

Note the common theme across DHS funding, the reconciliation bill, and 702 extension: all three are tangled up in internal Republican squabbling. This is NOT partisan division, this is Republican incompetence. Get the news right, please.

If you work hard and play by the rules, you deserve a chance to get ahead – but the things you buy every day have cost your family an EXTRA $2,300 since January 2025. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’ll keep fighting to do everything in my power to bring you financial relief.

Secret Service has briefed me on the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. USSS answered my questions thoroughly. The Washington Hilton is a time tested venue, but we should let the post-incident investigation progress to identify what processes can be improved.

This is a big win. Congress is waking up to the insanity of letting the government spy on Americans without a warrant. The only path forward on FISA is reform.

As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos. Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom. This man’s values are perverse.

In Hawaii, gas prices are up over 28%. That means people in Hawaii are paying AT LEAST $45 MORE a month just on gas alone. The reason? Trump's illegal war in Iran.

Trump's Iran war killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and thousands of civilians and spiked gas prices—and the Iranian regime is still in place. Now, Trump says "Cuba is next." Today, the Senate will vote on my resolution to prevent another illegal and unnecessary regime change war.
