We’re seeing so many extreme actions from the Trump administration. These actions are hurting Arizonans. I want you to know that I’m doing everything in my power to stand up and fight back, even while Trump tries to avoid accountability. Here’s how: 🧵
We have a cost of living crisis in this country. Instead of actually trying to make life more affordable, Republicans' Big Ugly Bill could increase Americans' household energy bills by up to $200. Working families deserve better than Trump's jacked up prices and tax cuts for…
Our Arizona schools depend on federal funding for critical programs like after-school activities, student support, and teacher training. It was cruel and unconstitutional for the Trump Administration to withhold these funds in the first place, and I’m relieved that they are now…

The intensifying starvation in Gaza and attacks on people seeking food are horrifying and must end. Gazans should be able to access aid at humanitarian sites without fear of being gunned down. Netanyahu must stop this. Trump must stop finger-pointing and commit to real…

Even though ICE is trying to deny us access to our constituents, Democrats will not back down. I'm going to continue fighting for answers and make sure my constituents in ICE detention facilities are being treated with dignity and getting the care they need.



🚨BREAKING: FORK FOUND IN KITCHEN 👀🍴
Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files on.wsj.com/4mcTIKV
🚨Kash Patel lied in his confirmation hearings. He claimed the FBI must be independent but now they are doing Trump's bidding and even scrubbing mentions of him from the Epstein files. Even his own FBI agents admit that such direction from the president would be inconsistent…
As ICE ramps up its attacks on our communities with new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill, I want to make sure you know your rights and what we can and can't do as Members of Congress when it comes to ICE.
Glad to see Republicans are soooo concerned with using our time to get things done for the American people! Now we're here with no votes and no plan because they can't figure out their own chaos.
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
In Arizona, working families are struggling to pay rent, keep the AC on, and get healthcare when they are sick. It's the same story across the country. I'm so proud to chair the new Lowering Costs Task Force with the Congressional Progressive Caucus to deliver bold solutions to…
I’m deeply saddened over the tragic death of Lloyd, who collapsed from a heat stroke and suffered cardiac arrest during one of Arizona’s hottest days. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this unimaginable loss. Extreme heat is a deadly crisis, and I will…

It's been another long week in Congress, and we've dealt with everything from Republicans defunding PBS to their Jeffrey Epstein coverup. Here's the latest:
Working people are getting screwed, and they are asking for a transformational vision for the future and a world where they have autonomy over their lives. Excited to join my @usprogressives colleagues in leading task forces that center the needs of the working class and put…



Introducing the new @USProgressives Task Forces! I'm proud to chair the Lowering Costs Task Force. You might be wondering what a task force does–check it out here 👇
Heritage Foundation staffer Mike Howell has totally changed his tune on the Epstein files. Last week he said they're serious & must be released. Now he wants to investigate Dems who wrote these supposedly fake files. What changed? Trump said Dems wrote it & Howell fell in line.
The Israeli government must conduct a full and transparent investigation into this murder and ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law. Escalating attacks on Palestinian civilians are a violation of human rights and must end immediately. If we are to play…
A 20-year-old U.S. citizen, Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Activist Jonathan Pollak describes the attack and how Israeli soldiers enable such violence against Palestinians. democracynow.org/2025/7/15/sayf…
Kristi Noem and the Trump Administration are responsible for gutting the federal force tasked with responding to disasters like the flood in Texas. It's dangerous, and the survivors and loved ones of those affected by the floods deserve better.
Republicans just handed billionaires a tax break, and now they're using YOUR tax $$ to give the ultra-wealthy another break–this time from actual crimes. Release the Epstein list.
Republicans just unanimously voted to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Huge news on the Epstein front: we’re voting TODAY on an amendment that would force Pam Bondi to release the list. If Republicans are serious, they should join us.
Trump wants everyone to stop talking about the Epstein files so he can continue protecting billionaires from accountability–it's the same playbook every time.
