Rep. Quantá Crews, who co-chairs the Daniels-Sims AZ Legislative Black Caucus, shares memories and condolences after today’s loss of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, followed by a moment of silence.

This week, House Democrats voted NO on HB2689, which would require hospital patients to report their immigration status (which has no impact on making Arizona more affordable btw).

House Democrats voted “No” on SB1331, which would put overly burdensome requirements on SNAP recipients and includes a definition of “able-bodied” that includes cancer patients.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

I know this is sadly not how anything works, but I would love to live in a world where dumb shit like this gets you and your party ostracized from public life - not even for ideological reasons, but purely because no one with even a modicum of self-respect should tolerate such idiotic nonsense.

Our incredible Whip Quantá Crews quoted…

PT. 1: Young people in the U.S. care deeply about how foreign policy shapes their lives, from climate to housing to AI. At the Munich Security Conference, I shared how, as the youngest woman in Congress, I’m working to deliver the transformational change our generation demands.

PT. 2: Young people are demanding bold changes that will concretely impact our lives. From housing affordability to the future of work, we need to act decisively to deliver and earn the support of the next generation.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have stained America’s credibility. ICE is a lawless agency that must be abolished. The next Democratic president must act to restore the U.S. as a nation that delivers for its people and stands as a respected partner on the world stage.

If anyone said something this vile in any workplace, they’d be fired. Rep. Randy Fine has repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence. It’s unacceptable. Speaker Johnson should reprimand him immediately. And if Fine cannot meet the most basic standard of human dignity, he should resign.

In the fight for racial justice and civil rights in America, Jesse Jackson led without fear and with the utmost hope and courage. This Black History Month, Jackson's legacy serves as an inspiration to all of us. His work and his voice will be deeply missed.

Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse, which has not appeared in 60 years. The Horse in Chinese astrology symbolizes forward movement, independence, & endurance, but this year each trait is amplified by its combination with fire.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Whip Quantá Crews snaps back at a Republican bill attempting to police SNAP benefits.

Happy 114th Birthday, Arizona! 🎂❤️🌵 On February 14, 1912, Arizona officially became the 48th state. #iloveaz

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Kristi Noem is back in Phoenix Feb 13 to talk about "election security" as Trump's administration remains locked in a court battle over sensitive information about Az voters. www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/02/13/kristi-noem-to-discuss-election-security-in-phoenix/88652450007/

Pillar 2: Election Security & Infrastructure The Voters First Act specifically invests in election security measures and infrastructure to ensure our voter rolls are up to date and we can provide Arizona voters with the efficient systems they deserve. #VotersFirstAZ

Budgets reflect priorities. Our Office has repeatedly asked the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) to approve a transfer of excess funds from last year's CD7 Special Congressional Election to help us update our systems so that we provide Arizonans with the efficiency & security they deserve.

The Courts agree: the DOJ’s request for your sensitive personal information is illegal. As long as I am your Secretary of State, I will protect Arizona’s voters. I look forward to our day in court.
