I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

We’re in Day 36 of the government shutdown and ICE has said they are not taking visits from Members of Congress. My constituent, Yari, is sick with leukemia and we are not getting answers. After some insisting, I was let in and I was with her for two hours. Full recap soon.

I’m on my way back to the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona. I’m going to check on my constituent, Yari, who is sick with leukemia, and demand that ICE release the results of her October oncology visit.

Deeply inspired by our community stepping up as Trump withholds SNAP benefits. This weekend, King Pigeon Thrift & Vintage turned their shop into a pop-up pantry and, with local volunteers, got 4,000 lbs of food + $1,100 of fresh supplies to families in need. Real life heroes.

It’s Day 35 of the Trump-Republican shutdown—the longest in U.S. history. Millions are losing food assistance. And now Trump is refusing to release $4.65B in SNAP funds even after the USDA agreed to. People deserve better than this reckless cruelty.

I stand with the Nigerian American community. Donald Trump’s reckless threats do nothing to restore desperately-needed security in the region. No president can take unilateral military action without coming to Congress first.

This weekend, rent was due, and 42 million Americans lost access to SNAP benefits. Trump and Republicans are letting children and families go hungry. So we show up for each other. Thank you Puente for making sure our neighbors have food on the table.

Federal judges just ruled Trump must release the billions in SNAP funding he’s illegally withholding. Heading home to Phoenix to support the food banks and community health centers making sure families have what they need.

Healthcare premiums could go up by more than 55% if ACA tax credits aren’t extended. With open enrollment starting Nov. 1, Arizonans will see cost hikes in healthcare if the government shutdown continues. difi.az.gov/general-info...

My office is collaborating with State @senanaliseortiz.bsky.social's office to hold mobile office hours today! Attendees will receive support with various issues including Social Security, Medicare, and navigating food insecurity caused by SNAP delays. RSVP for the location ⬇️ shorturl.at/1if7E

Alejandro Juárez lived in the United States for decades and worked at one of Trump's golf courses. He has a wife and kids here. ICE “accidentally” deported him to Mexico earlier this year. Trump’s authoritarian regime is out of control—we’re not going to stop fighting back.

I’m horrified by the brutal killings & ethnic cleansing in Sudan. I’ve cosponsored @sarajacobs.house.gov's Stand Up For Sudan Act to ensure accountability for the UAE’s role in arming the RSF, which the U.S. determined is committing genocide. Congress cannot be silent. www.npr.org/2025/10/30/n...

The Trump Administration is carrying out unauthorized lethal military strikes in international waters, with no evidence and no Congressional approval. This is illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerously reckless. No president gets to wage war alone.

Back in DC. It’s infuriating how little Trump and Republicans care about the damage they’re causing. We’re fighting to fix their healthcare crisis and re-open the government.

Day 27 of the Trump–Republican shutdown. Trump’s top priority is his $350M ballroom, House Republicans are still on vacation, and Scott Bessent is pretending he knows what working families are going through. They’re out of touch and they don’t care about you.

The Republican health care crisis can’t be pushed off for later. We need real action now. Republicans haven’t even shown up in DC, and Trump’s number one priority isn’t ending this shutdown, it’s building his $350 million ballroom.

Mohammed Ibrahim is an American citizen and just 16 years old. And right now, he's being held in an Israeli prison, where he has been for almost 8 months. His condition is deteriorating. The Trump Administration must take immediate action to ensure his safe return.

Trump's compact would go against everything that makes @arizonastateuni.bsky.social a pillar of AZ-03 as well as a hub for innovation and academic excellence. I trust that ASU will reject this attempt at political blackmail and continue to prioritize students, faculty, and truth.

Republicans are still on vacation while @seiu.org workers in Arizona like Raul and Ezra at @phxskyharbor.bsky.social are worried about affording healthcare and keeping a roof over their heads. Democrats are at the negotiating table. Will Speaker Johnson and Republicans finally show up?

Week 4 of the Trump-Republicans shutdown. Trump and Speaker Johnson are bullying the 34,460 federal workers in Arizona who are furloughed or forced to work without pay and the more than 300,000 Arizonans who will be impacted by their healthcare crisis. AFGR fights for them.

This is what defending democracy looks like. @merkley.senate.gov stayed on the Senate floor all night to sound the alarm about the Trump regime’s authoritarianism. We should all be listening.

Donald Trump pardoned the person who threatened @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, this person also happens to be someone who attacked the Capitol on January 6. I'm grateful that Leader Jeffries is safe; this corruption has to stop.

Video evidence shows that ICE instigated the interaction they’re trying to blame @replamonica.bsky.social for—but she was literally doing her job. Just add this to another action in the authoritarian playbook for the Trump Admin. She won't back down, and I won't either. I stand with LaMonica.

Happy #Diwali! Honored to celebrate the Festival of Lights in the heart of Phoenix. Diwali is a celebration of light over darkness—a message that feels especially powerful as our country faces deep division and even a government shutdown. We’ll keep fighting for the light. ✨

Oversight Dems aren’t letting up on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Release the files, NOW.

During the Republican shutdown, families that rely on SNAP are the most at risk. I cosponsored the Feed Our Families Act to put three months of funding into the SNAP reserve fund and protect Arizona families.

As the youngest woman in Congress, I know who pays the price when the government fails: we do. Women. While Trump and Republicans take vacations, we’re here fighting to reopen the government and protect our healthcare.

I was in that interview with Alex Acosta—what I heard was deflection, not truth. The Oversight Committee, with Speaker Mike Johnson present, heard a survivor testify that Epstein abused girls while in jail. The cover-up has gone on long enough. Release the full Epstein files.

I’ll be on Kaitlan Collins tonight to discuss this critical step toward accountability—and once again call on Speaker Johnson to stop the Trump White House’s cover-up of the Epstein files and swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I called my constituents to hear directly how the Trump and Republican health care crisis and government shutdown are hurting our community. They have a few thoughts for Speaker Johnson.

We must listen to @reptroycarter.bsky.social and @repfields.bsky.social as the conservative SCOTUS majority looks to put the final nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act. This landmark law is a reminder that democracy belongs to everyone in our country. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/o...

Eliminating backpay for federal employees is another attempt by Trump to demoralize and bully the federal workforce. I'm calling on Russ Vought to actually follow the law and ensure furloughed employees get backpay.

For the Epstein-th time, Oversight Dems are demanding no pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Release the files!

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability. Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

While we wait for Trump and Republicans to work with us to end their shutdown and fix the health care crisis they’ve created, my office is a resource to serve you. Please reach out to us at Ansari.House.Gov

Nobody cooler to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth with than podcaster, producer & music curator the Funky Latina! We talked about her work for Latino communities in Phoenix, our love for music, & what inspires her to keep creating amazing spaces.

‼️ It’s Day 12 of the Trump Shutdown.‼️ Millions of Americans across the country are now receiving notices with massive premium increases because of the Republican health care crisis. Yet Speaker Johnson wants Republicans to stay on vacation. Make that make sense?

Celebrating Native heritage all weekend ahead of #IndigenousPeoplesDay on Monday — from the Downtown Phoenix Night Market to Native Health’s Open House and Health Fair. See what’s going on in #AZ03 ⬇️

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Hurricane Priscilla is bringing rain to the valley this weekend, but that means possible flash flooding too. Stay safe and pick up free sandbags at Phoenix parks, info here ⬇️ www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/par...

Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!

‼️ It’s Day 9 of the Trump Shutdown.‼️ @mcbride.house.gov and I have updates on the latest.

Today, I'm chatting with @darakass.com about the impacts of the Republican health care crisis on every day people. #TrumpShutUSDown Tune in at 12pm MST/3pm EST ⬇️

UPDATE: Back in DC. Day 7 of the Trump Shutdown. Republicans are still on vacation, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s the voice of reason in the GOP 💀 What a time. PS — Speaker Johnson, when are you swearing in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social? We all know what 218 means for the Epstein Files 👀

My statement marking the anniversary of the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.

We deserve to know if ICE is using a spyware program to access private information without an owner's consent. Once again, DHS is violating constitutional rights to target immigrants & people of color. I join @repsummerlee.bsky.social in calling Secretary Noem for answers ASAP.

The Hatch Act is clear: federal employees cannot use government resources to promote or attack a political party. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov is taking names: federal employees who witness Trump Administration violations can report them to us ⬇️ oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-...

I visited Sky Harbor Airport with @repyassansari.bsky.social & @mayorgallego.bsky.social to check on frontline crews keeping travel safe while the Republican shutdown drags on. We’re committed to negotiating a deal on healthcare to end this shutdown so employees don't work another day without pay.

My constituents are right: this government shutdown was caused by Donald Trump and Republicans. Don't forget that they care more about billionaires and their tax breaks than the American people.

Appreciate @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for saying it plainly. When healthcare premiums go up, families suffer. Republicans can’t spin, distract, or scapegoat their way out of that.
