Two can play at this game

At midnight, the government shuts down because Republicans would rather raise your health care costs than keep them low. They’re willing to tank the government so you pay more. Let that sink in.

Back in Arizona, everyone is telling me the same thing: prices are too high. We're fighting to keep things from getting even worse by extending existing health care coverage. But Republicans would rather shut down the government than give people even a little relief.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down tomorrow night, it's because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the American people

Southern Arizona deserves a real fighter. That’s why I’m proud to stand with fellow Marine @mendoza4az.bsky.social for AZ-06. She’s fighting for good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare, and a fair shot for working families! Semper Fi!

Homan may think our homeland security is up for sale, but the American people know better. I’m demanding answers from AG Bondi on why her Justice Department moved to cover up allegations of a government official accepting cash bribes. The DOJ exists to protect the public, not shield Trump’s cronies

If Republicans cared even half as much about your family’s health as they do about tax cuts for billionaires, we wouldn’t be headed towards a government shutdown.

The government is heading for a shutdown and Republicans are pulling the trigger. They refuse to pass a budget that protects healthcare for millions. They’d rather shut it all down than make sure people get the care they need.

Recession indicator

Just this week: Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, took cash bribes and Bondi’s DOJ shut down the case. Trump’s FCC threatened ABC and got Kimmel taken off the air. This president is using the government to protect corrupt friends and punish enemies. This is not normal. We cannot normalize this.

Let’s be clear: Senate Republicans would rather shut the government down than protect your healthcare. That’s the choice they made today.

Today, we honor the innocent lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families whose lives were forever changed, but who showed the world the strength of the American spirit.

If Republicans let ACA tax credits expire, 309,000 Arizonans face around a $780 hike in their premiums next year. 103,000 Arizonans could lose health care coverage. This isn’t an accident—it’s Republican policy. Destroying Medicaid wasn’t enough for them.

Ever buy a cheap plane ticket only to watch the price skyrocket with hidden junk fees? Trump just killed the rule that would’ve forced airlines to tell you the real price up front. I’ll fight to bring transparency back.

Republicans are at it again making Americans sicker and poorer. They've already ripped Medicaid away from thousands of Arizonans, and now they're coming for more. Enough is enough.

Trump’s idea of energy dominance? Canceling a project that’s 80% complete and would’ve powered 350,000 homes -- and firing union workers in the process.

Republicans' tax cuts for billionaires are permanent. But tax cuts for working people expire in 3 years. Tells you everything about whose side they’re on.

New Hampshire is where I got my start in the Marines. It was great to return to the Granite State State, but this time I dug into what drives Granite Staters and learned how Democrats there are fighting for the future. Thanks for the warm welcome! www.tiktok.com/@rubengalleg...

Time for the next round of cancer treatment? Tragically, you may have to go deeper into medical debt… That’s why I’m backing legislation to cap prescription costs so that no one on private insurance pays more than $2,000 a year out-of-pocket. Life-saving prescriptions shouldn’t break the bank.

If this kind of mismanagement happened in the private sector, Noem would’ve already been out of a job.

I’ve been calling out RealPage for their unfair practices — raising rents and overcharging hardworking Arizona families by more than 10%. I’m glad the DOJ is taking steps to bring a stop to these anti-competitive practices. Landlords shouldn’t be able to act like cartels.

Across the country electricity prices are rising twice as fast as inflation. Families already stretched thin can’t afford it. And in Arizona in August, this isn’t just about comfort. It’s about survival.

Over 80,000 Americans—including 2,500 Arizonans—died from overdoses last year.
The CDC is sitting on life-saving prevention funds Congress already approved. I’m demanding they release it NOW and act with the urgency this crisis demands.

A los 18 años, trabajé en una empacadora de carne para darle a mi familiar una vida mejor. La última semana en Iowa, hablé con gente que estaban haciendo la misma cosa—trabajando duro para lograr el Sueño Americano.

The Iowa State Fair did not disappoint. From deep-fried madness to a Chicken Pickle Ranch Rocket (yes, that’s a real thing), I ate my way through the fair with @sarahbooz.bsky.social, met incredible folks, and got the real scoop on what’s on Iowans’ minds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEH...

What the sign says

Medicare premiums are rising and protections are being gutted, leaving our seniors to foot the bill. I’m pushing CMS to STOP 2026 Medicare Part D premium hikes so older Americans aren’t forced to choose between filling their prescriptions or putting food on the table.

Americans know something is broken. The tides are shifting, and change is coming.

Meeting voters where they are means showing up. In Marshalltown, Iowa, I visited the JBS meatpacking facility to hear from workers and talk about how Democrats can deliver for them.

The American people can tell when the system is being rigged for the elite. Ghislaine Maxwell’s move to a country club prison right after meeting with Trump’s former personal lawyer reeks of corruption. I’m calling on DOJ to produce every document tied to her transfer. The public deserves answers.

Like with everything else Trump does: elites win and the little guy loses. While big corporations are using Trump’s tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices and increase their bottom line, small business owners are paying the price.

Translation: I like my workers quiet, cheap, and disposable. This is exactly why we need stronger laws to protect working people from corporate greed.

Trump is gutting support for seniors & making them pay more for their medicine. Medicare premiums are going up, protections are being stripped, and older Americans are paying the price.

In rural Arizona you can drive miles without finding a grocery store. Now, thanks to Republicans' cuts to food assistance, more stores will close.

I’ve been sounding the alarm for months: Trump gutted the agency that tracks inflation. Now he’s just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he doesn’t like the latest jobs report. Trump is crashing the economy, then trying to cook the books to cover it up.

Republicans’ bill could lead to 1,000 more overdose deaths a year. This bill is killing people. But we’re all going to die anyway right Joni Ernst?

The Senate hadn’t held a housing markup in 17 years. Let that sink in. That changed today and my bills to cut red tape and make housing more affordable just passed committee. We’ve got more to do, but this is how you actually fight for working families.

We can hold Hamas accountable and feed starving kids. Those are not competing priorities.  I’m calling on the Trump admin to work with humanitarian organizations in the region to deliver needed food and aid. Protecting innocent civilians should be a core part of any counterterrorism strategy.

Granite Staters deserve fighters. I’ll be on the ground in New Hampshire with Rep. Maggie Goodlander taking on the GOP’s billionaire agenda and standing up for working families. Join us August 22nd.

Good news: My kid just got into daycare. Bad news: It would literally be less expensive to send her to ASU. That’s insane. We need to make childcare cheaper so everyday families actually have a fighting chance.

You were promised lower prices. What you got was a reckless trade war, billions in cuts to Medicaid, and a President too busy covering for pedophiles to give a damn about the cost of groceries.

Trump promised working people no tax on overtime. Instead, Republicans wrote a law so sloppy that emergency responders, truck drivers, and railway workers don’t even qualify. Billionaires get loopholes. Working people get left behind. Again.

Arizona is facing a serious doctor shortage especially in rural communities. I’m supporting a bill to train more physicians and strengthen our healthcare system from the ground up. Your zip code shouldn’t determine your access to healthcare.

This isn’t just about Epstein. It’s about the elites who get protected in this country while regular people have to fend for themselves. Trump promised to shake up the system, but he lied to you. He’s hiding the truth to protect himself and his buddies.

Surprise surprise... Republicans just blocked my attempt to release the Epstein files. I even tried to work with them, and they wouldn’t budge. This is a betrayal of the American people. I’ll keep the pressure on.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to demand the release of the Epstein files... AGAIN. Last week, Republicans blocked it. Let’s see if they’ll do it again. The American people deserve the truth. Any Senator who stands in the way is part of the cover-up.

🚨🚨BREAKING: What we already suspected was just confirmed true

Imagine being a veteran in the middle of a clinical trial for PTSD or cancer and getting a phone call that it’s canceled. That's what this administration did. Research takes years to build and seconds for Trump’s VA to burn it to the ground.
