Grateful for a productive dialogue with the AZ Tech Council—a coalition representing a diverse array of tech companies in Arizona.
From semiconductor manufacturing to innovation in education, their insights are valuable as we continue to build our state as a foremost technology hub in the country.
Productive meeting with AARP Arizona about how we can better serve seniors in our community.
In particular, I'm looking forward to working alongside them to pass legislation that will help seniors and caregivers improve the quality of their lives.
"Only a few words. That would be saving her life."
Sonia Almaraz on what it would mean for her partner Yari, who has been wrongfully detained in Eloy Detention Center for over a year, to receive the specialized medical care that she deserves for her leukemia.
Phoenix truly has a champion in CPLC and here in Congress, I continue to do all I can to support their work.
I’m immensely proud to have had such amazing partners in Chicanos Por la Causa (CPLC) over the years to bring South Phoenix the resources it needs—like affordable housing, strong public transit, access to healthcare, grocery options, and more.
This monument is vital to protecting the 1 million acres of cultural and sacred sites that honor Tribal Nations in the Southwest. We must fight back against the Trump Administration and Arizona Republicans as they try to destroy this monument and many others across the country to line their pockets.
Grateful to meet with the Grand Canyon Tribal Leaders Coalition on the importance of protecting Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni, the Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.
Haitians in the U.S. must be granted protected status while Haiti continues to recover from natural disasters and political instability.
I am so proud of @pressley.house.gov and @replauragillen.bsky.social for the passage of their important legislation.
I’m so in awe of the bravery of the women who came forward. This is an important reckoning moment.

I’ve introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth for violating his oath, endangering U.S. servicemembers, and committing war crimes, including attacks on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Only Congress can declare war; his actions demand immediate removal.
I’m endlessly grateful to UFCW Local 99 for their impactful work in Arizona.
We’ll keep fighting tirelessly together to ensure workers are paid a living wage with good benefits, and that we combat any efforts by corporations to strip workers of their pay, dignity and rights.
TODAY, Pam Bondi was supposed to testify under oath about her role in the Epstein Files coverup. She refused.
If she continues to ignore our bipartisan subpoena, @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will move forward with contempt proceedings.
In Congress, I secured $1M for Valley Metro’s Community Safety Project to ensure riders in crisis get compassionate, real support.
Public transit should be safe, accessible, and work for everyone.
Great to meet with Valley Metro CEO Jessica Mefford-Miller today.
From my time on Phoenix City Council, we partnered on electrification and expanding affordable rides for students.
I’m adding my name to @raskin.house.gov’s bill that will establish a commission to review Trump's cognitive decline.
For months, I've been calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked and will continue to demand the cabinet act to save our country from a deranged, mentally unstable authoritarian.
As freshman class president, I partnered with the Embassy of Mexico for a productive dinner hosted by Ambassador Esteban Moctezuma.
From the perspective of my district, I’m excited to continue building on the strong and historic relationship between Mexico and Arizona.
My reproductive health bills address the long-standing disparities and inequities in care, from period pain and menopause, to reproductive leave for women and men alike.

Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales should step down from their roles as Congressmen. If not, I plan to vote to expel them.
It was wonderful to meet with @cityoftucson.bsky.social Vice Mayor Lane Santa Cruz to discuss everything from transportation policy to climate.
I look forward to working with the Vice Mayor to bring much needed investments back to our communities.
Last weekend, I asked people if they know someone who's terrified to live in this country right now. Almost every single hand went up.
I urge Congressional colleagues to sponsor my DRAIN ICE Act—to strip ICE of the $75BN that Trump and Republicans handed the agency last summer.
Lebanon must also be included in the ceasefire. More than 1,800 have been killed since the war began. It’s unacceptable.
Even this Trump Administration can help the Iranian people by appropriating funds for direct-to-cell internet connectivity. I have a bill, the IRAN (Internet Reach and Access Now Act), that does that.
Grateful that @couriernewsroom.bsky.social created this database that allows anyone to search through the Epstein Files that have been released.
I've used this tool and it has been helpful as @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social continues to pursue justice for the survivors ⬇️

Trump and Pete Hegseth committed war crimes by bombing schools, hospitals, bridges, and water desalination plants in Iran.
I pray this ceasefire holds, and for peace and a better future for the Iranian people.
I received this letter from a woman in Tehran and it brought me to tears. It's unimaginable what the Iranian people have had to endure, from a brutal regime that massacred tens of thousands in January, to relentless bombing and destruction during Trump's illegal war.
