When I passed out from period pain on the floor of a bodega in 2015, I was 23-years-old and terrified that asking for time off would hurt my career. But now, I’m a member of Congress with the power to do something about it. Read my piece in TIME to learn about my new legislation.

On Trans Day of Visibility, I want to reaffirm that no matter what Donald Trump and his Administration try to do to erase trans rights—we'll keep fighting back for trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people across the country. You're seen and you're loved.

Join me, @repgregstanton.bsky.social and Rep. Grijalva this Thursday in Central Phoenix for a community briefing as we continue to bring to light the horrific conditions inside Arizona's ICE detention centers. RSVP ⬇️ bit.ly/stopazdetent...

The gender pay gap has always been disappointing. But Trump and Republicans’ anti-women policies are only making it worse. This #EqualPayDay, I’m fighting for an economy that works for women. Equal pay for all people shouldn’t be a question. It should be the standard.

Donald Trump is a deranged authoritarian putting the entire world in danger with his reckless war.

I hosted a Nowruz celebration in my office to share the Persian New Year with colleagues in Congress. Nowruz is about renewal, new beginnings, and hope for the year ahead.

I signed the discharge petition to separate ICE from DHS funding so TSA workers can get paid. Now we just need a few Republicans to grow a backbone and sign it so we can force a vote. Get ICE out of our airports and our communities.

Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov for highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Iranian Americans and everyone who celebrates Nowruz, especially during these difficult times. Beh Omideh Azadi به امید آزادی

Prediction markets let people bet on wars & elections. Kalshi wants to “financialize everything.” People with sensitive info are profiting from crises. Humanity is being commodified. That’s why I’m introducing the BETS OFF Act with @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @repcasar.bsky.social, & @amo.house.gov.

This past Friday, I heard from Arizonans who spoke out on rising costs and cruel Trump Administration policies hurting them. While billions go to ICE, they’re losing healthcare and struggling to afford groceries. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and hold this administration accountable.

I voted to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years, but the Senate has refused to bring this legislation up for a vote.

This is the most egregious cover up in American history. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social will not back down until there’s full accountability and justice for the every single survivor.

This week, I met with fire department chiefs from every corner of Arizona. I'm grateful for all they do to keep our communities safe, and I look forward to continuing to partner with them to ensure they have the resources they need.

I introduced legislation to help Iranians stay connected through direct-to-cell technology when those shutdowns happen. There are tangible steps the U.S. can take to ensure people can communicate with the outside world. This is a practical, immediate way we can support the Iranian people.

AG Pam Bondi defied a subpoena to release the full and unredacted Epstein Files, ignored the law, and misled Congress under oath. She’s at the center of Trump’s Epstein cover-up. That’s why I’ve joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social to introduce Articles of Impeachment. No one is above the law.

I won’t support another cent to ICE. But under the @housedemocrats.bsky.social proposal, we’ll ensure TSA and FEMA get their paychecks so they can continue to keep Americans safe. Unfortunately, Republicans would rather fund more murders, illegal arrests, and separations of families by ICE.

It’s always special to have Arizonans visit me in DC! Today, I got to meet with City of Maricopa Councilmembers Henry Wade and Eric Goettl and Phoenix Vice Mayor Kesha Hodge Washington and Councilman Kevin Robinson, along with Deputy City Manager Frank McCune.

Trump has repeatedly abandoned our NATO allies. He also launched an illegal, reckless war that’s already cost American lives, killed thousands of civilians, and left Americans stranded abroad. And there’s still no plan and no justification made to the American people. Insane.

Pete Hegseth is a joke. He treats the very serious conflict in the Middle East like a video game and cares only about being a hotshot. He needs to be fired or impeached immediately.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with the @nytimes.com to discuss the ongoing war in Iran and how my family’s story shapes my perspective on this moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

This #WomensHistoryMonth, I'm spotlighting Hope’s Brunch House, a woman-owned restaurant in the heart of Phoenix. I spoke with founder Hope Memedi about their family’s story and she also offered great recommendations on what to order next time you stop by

It’s more crucial than ever that you know your rights—your rights if you’re detained by ICE, to protest, and to document what you see. If you missed my tele-town hall, you can listen to it at my Facebook page and check out my “Know Your Rights” page ⬇️ ansari.house.gov/services/kno...

I’m on my way to the Florence Correctional Center in Arizona. This is my fifth ICE oversight visit. I’ll be demanding answers about the recent death of Haitian asylum seeker Emmanuel Clifford Damas. I'll report back soon.

There must be real accountability for the killing of Emmanuel Damas while under ICE custody at the Florence Detention Center in Arizona. I joined the AZ Democratic delegation in urging DHS for Damas' medical examiner’s report, details about his hospitalization, and communication with his family.

One of the first strikes of this illegal war killed 175 civilians, including many children, at an elementary school. I joined @sarajacobs.house.gov and @crow.house.gov with 100+ colleagues demanding an investigation and answers from Secretary Hegseth on preventing further civilian harm.

ICE just picked the same company that provides security for Alligator Alcatraz to turn its mega warehouse in Surprise, AZ into a 1,500-bed detention center. @repyassansari.bsky.social, Rep. Grijalva, and I are demanding answers and transparency.

While Australia is granting asylum to members of Iran’s women’s soccer team, Trump continues to ban Iranians from this country and has deported hundreds who could face persecution by the regime. That’s why I’ve introduced the Artemis Act to protect asylum seekers who’ve fled the brutal regime.

Join me and @acluaz.bsky.social tomorrow for a “Know Your Rights town hall. As ICE continues to terrorize communities, I want to ensure every Arizonan knows their rights and is updated on what I'm doing to fight Trump's mass deportation agenda. Call us at 6pm MST or listen live on my Facebook page.

Southwest Human Development plays a critical role in supporting families across Arizona. I sat down with their hardworking staff to learn more about the work they do. I’ll continue to fight for investments in programs that families rely on, including Head Start, Medicaid, and food assistance.

Trump's arch is a waste of taxpayer dollars, a monument to his ego, and a platform for his authoritarian ambitions. Its construction without Congressional approval is a blatant violation of federal law, and I've joined my colleagues in challenging it.

Why did Pam Bondi wait so long to release FBI files revealing that a young girl reported being sexually assaulted by Donald Trump? I’ll be demanding answers when she appears under the Oversight Committee’s subpoena.

Donald Trump has shown time and again that freedom and democracy for the Iranian people are not his priority. He launched an illegal war—risking tens of thousands of U.S. servicemembers—without congressional approval or a clear plan.

My remarks on the War Powers resolution.

I agree. Donald Trump needs to be deposed. End the White House cover up now.

I’m proud to have secured more than $17.7M in Community Project Funding for AZ-03. From solutions to combat extreme heat to revitalizing our parks and building more shelter beds to address homelessness, these diverse investments reflect what our communities have told us they need the most.

AMERICANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST: DEPART NOW Follow all @StateDept instructions immediately. For 24/7 State Department help: +1-202-501-4444 Contact my office for support: (602) 956-2285

I am devastated and horrified by this tragedy. ICE killed Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee, by leaving him to freeze to death on a cold winter night on a Buffalo street without contacting his family or his lawyer. They're cruelty knows no bounds and this is why ICE must be abolished.

Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.

Republicans are trying to claim that Donald Trump is exonerated. Nothing could be further from the truth. The past few days of depositions have made it clear: Trump must testify before Congress immediately.

As was demonstrated with President Clinton today, nobody is above the law. The White House cover up must end. President Trump and other members of his administration implicated in the Epstein Files must testify before Congress.

If Republicans were serious about this investigation, we would be deposing Donald Trump. This is the most egregious cover up in U.S. history. We won’t stop until there’s accountability and justice for Epstein survivors.

Former President Bill Clinton’s deposition today sets a clear precedent: presidents and former presidents can and should testify before this committee. That includes Donald Trump, who's named in the Epstein Files more than almost anyone else.

Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are covering up for the rich and powerful. Patel's FBI interviews are now being withheld by Bondi's DOJ. It's unacceptable. They must be held accountable.

I called it a clown show because that’s what it is. It’s appalling to watch Republicans turn an investigation into child sex abuse and trafficking into a political stunt. Chairman Comer and House Republicans are complicit in the most egregious coverup in American history.

This is the most egregrious cover up in American history, and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are complicit. We must hold them accountable and continue fighting to get justice for the survivors.

I strongly support securing our critical mineral supply chains & advancing U.S. leadership. But that’s not what Trump & Republicans are doing. There’s a corruption story here, & Republicans are risking our public health, gutting environmental protections & harming public lands in the process.

Yari belongs with Sonia. She deserves care. She deserves dignity. And she deserves freedom. Exigimos su libertad inmediata para su cuidado médico.

Yari is a green card holder with leukemia who has been locked inside an ICE detention center for over a year. Yari has no criminal record. The real state of our union is whether people like Yari are safe. Whether the sick receive care. Whether human dignity still matters. Free Yari.

Tune in at 8:00pm ET/6:00pm MT to hear me and my guest Sonia speak about fighting back against Donald Trump’s racist mass deportation agenda, including the inhumane conditions at ICE detention centers ⬇️ MoveOn.org/Live

Sonia and I are skipping the State of the Union. We refuse to normalize Trump’s corrupt, racist regime. His cruelty is why Sonia’s partner, Yari, has been detained at ICE’s Eloy facility for over a year. Tune in at 8pm EST/6pm MST for the People’s State of the Union. We’re telling her story.
