Federal courts ordered Trump to pay full SNAP benefits for November. Instead of releasing funds for the millions of kids, veterans and families who rely on SNAP, he's appealing the ruling. Unbelievably cruel.

In aviation, safety must always be the highest priority. The decision by Secretary Duffy to reduce flights at America’s 40 busiest airports is the right call for the safety of the flying public.

Direct File made tax season easy and free for Arizonans. Ending it will only mean higher costs and more headaches for taxpayers. I’ll keep fighting to restore free, simple filing.

Preventive care shouldn’t be a luxury. Without insurance, many Americans choose to skip regular screenings that can catch cancer early when it's most treatable. I'll continue fighting to keep coverage affordable.

Trump's trade war isn't just increasing costs for Americans, it’s driving our allies and adversaries into doing more business with China. Trump needs to stop isolating us from the world.

Nancy Pelosi didn’t just make history — she wrote it. As the first woman to wield the Speaker’s gavel, she led the House through generational crises with skill and grit. I was lucky to have a front-row seat to watch the most powerful woman in American history at work for the people.

The remains of Itay Chen, the last American hostage held by Hamas, have finally been returned. My heart is with the Chen family, who tirelessly advocated for his return and the return of all hostages still in Gaza. May his memory be a blessing.

The president can’t rewrite the Constitution because of a so-called “emergency.” I’ve helped lead the fight in Congress to stand up to this illegal end-run around congressional authority. Now it’s in the Supreme Court’s hands.

🎯

If you didn't show up for work for two months, what do you think would happen? House Republicans are sitting at home while we set a new record for the longest shutdown ever. They should come back to Washington and get to work.

I’m in the hearing room as the Supreme Court considers if Trump can use “emergency” powers to impose sweeping tariffs. I've led the fight in Congress to stop this abuse & keep costs down for Arizona. What’s at stake today is simple: who writes our laws — the people, or one man?

Tomorrow I’ll be at the Supreme Court for arguments on Trump's global trade war. At stake? Whether the President can abuse his emergency powers to impose tariffs without Congressional approval. I'll be there to support checks and balances.

Sky Harbor flights were delayed this morning because of Air Traffic Controller shortages. Our essential airport staff are still working without pay. Republicans should come back to Washington to help us strike a deal to end this shutdown now.

Trump has been ordered by multiple courts to spend SNAP contingency funds on food assistance this month. He is openly defying these court orders. His action is both illegal and despicable.

From school funding to city government, local elections make a big difference. This #ElectionDay, local elections and propositions are on the ballot — show up tonight, be heard, and encourage a neighbor to do the same.

Proud to help open the new 81 Asian Bistro location in Chandler, where owner David Chiang is serving up authentic and delicious Taiwanese flavors. For those in the know, the East Valley is a destination for Asian food in AZ — and locally-owned, family-run businesses are at the heart of that.

Either Trump is lying or he doesn't know the cost of his tariffs. For those of us who do our own shopping, we've seen prices soar this past year. Bacon is up 7%. Beef & veal are up 14%. Coffee is up almost 19%. The receipts don't lie — Trump should end this reckless trade war.

We cannot allow powerful American weapons to get into the hands of cartels, terrorists, and traffickers. The Commerce Department's decision to eliminate firearm export safeguards makes it more dangerous for travelers and for our military and law enforcement operating overseas.

Punishing U.S. manufacturers and their employees is hardly putting America first. FALCO is an incredible Chandler-based aerospace, defense, & automotive manufacturer. At my visit last week, their leadership told me Trump's 50% tariff on aluminum is crushing the business.

From screws and pipes to cabinets and drywall, tariffs are driving up construction prices, adding more than $10,000 in added costs to a typical home. Trump should end his disastrous trade war and work with Democrats to end the housing crisis.

We can both secure our borders & follow refugee laws. Tens of thousands of approved refugees, including many of our Afghan allies, are now stuck in limbo with Trump illegally capping admissions at 7,500 p/yr. Many of these people are trying to enter the right way — we shouldn’t abandon them now.

Republicans have been MIA for over 6 weeks. They aren’t just stopping us from saving health care, they’re blocking progress on key bipartisan bills that set 🌾 Farm and agriculture policy 🚗 Highway and rail funding 🌊 Flood insurance coverage Speaker Johnson must bring us back now.

The Rhode Island District Court was clear in its decision Friday: It is illegal for Trump to withhold SNAP nutrition funding. Trump must obey the court order without delay to ensure the 900,000 Arizonans using SNAP get the nutrition assistance they need.

¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! Today we honor the lives and legacies of loved ones who remain with us in memory and spirit. 🕯️🌼

Open Enrollment starts today — you can enroll, renew, or change your health care plan for 2026. If your premiums went up, you’re not alone. That’s why Dems have been fighting to bring costs down. Republicans need to help us reopen the gov’t so we can. 🌐 HealthCare.gov

Happy Halloween! Whether you’re passing out candy or collecting it, I hope everyone has a fun, safe evening trick-or-treating tonight. Keep it spooky out there! 🎃👻

During #BreastCancer Awareness Month, we honor survivors, support those in treatment, and double down on prevention. Regular mammograms are crucial to catching cancer early. I'm fighting to keep health care costs down so people can afford the preventative care they need and deserve.

Haunted House? No — just an empty one. We've gone six weeks without a single vote in the House while families are facing a shutdown, the denial of SNAP benefits, and skyrocketing health care costs. Speaker Johnson, stop being spooked by the job and let us get back to work.

Six weeks. Zero votes. Speaker Johnson has kept the House dark — no budgets, no markups, no debates, nothing. Stop letting the Senate and the White House decide policy by themselves — reconvene the House and let us do our jobs.

Read that again: $484 → $2,225 per month. If Republicans refuse to save health care, premiums could soar to over 4x the cost for couples like this one in Mesa. I’m fighting to keep coverage affordable for families across the country.

Grounded flights. Missed paychecks. Chaos at airports. That’s what happens when Republicans refuse to return to Washington to reopen the government. It's time they stop punishing workers and travelers and help us end this shutdown.

Semiconductors power our national security and the AI economy. Any further trade negotiations between Trump and Xi Jinping must not undermine our lead in next-generation semiconductor technologies.

Halloween just got pricier. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, the inflation monster is coming for your candy — and your wallet. With the prices of chocolate and sweets soaring, trick-or-treaters may be in for a "fun-sized" #Halloween haul. Trump should end his scary tariff tax now. 💸

As I said last night, our strategic relationship with Taiwan is critically important — especially for AZ, which has benefitted so much from economic investment under TSMC. As trade talks continue, it would be foolish for Trump to in any way sell out our longstanding democratic partner.

Credit where credit is due: FOUR Senate Republicans just put country over party and voted to rein in Trump's tariff abuse. Time for House Republicans to find their backbone.

Happy birthday to the best Congresswoman I've not (yet) had the chance to serve with. Swear her in now.

Good on Governor Hobbs. Arizona food banks are doing incredible work — but it shouldn't have come to this. Trump has the money to fund SNAP through November, and provide relief to families, seniors, and veterans. He's choosing not to use it.

Seniors, veterans, and kids in low-income families aren’t political pawns. SNAP nutrition benefits help nearly a million Arizonans afford groceries. Congress passed emergency funding to keep it going, but Trump is choosing not to use it. It’s indefensible.

This is what the future looks like. A device created at ASU was just named one of TIME’s best inventions of 2025. SolarSPELL is a solar-powered, portable digital library that works with no internet — putting health, education, and farming info in reach for remote communities.

I’m glad Senate Republicans are joining us to rein in Trump’s corrupt tariffs on Brazil — taxes that were driving up prices for American families in order to prop up his political allies. I've introduced a bill in the House to do the same.

Praying for the Mesa officer injured near Gateway Airport this morning. A reminder of the danger the men and women in law enforcement put themselves in every day to keep our community safe.

We're taking Trump’s reckless tariffs to the Supreme Court. A bipartisan group of 207 Members of Congress agree: Trump's abuse of "emergency" tariff powers isn’t just bad economics — it’s unconstitutional.

Mitch McConnell is right on this. Democrats and Republicans alike are opposed to Trump’s illegal tariffs.

Arizona classrooms are stronger because of teachers like Ms. Adalin Mena. For 13 years, she’s invested in her students, believed in their potential, and lifted up the community. It's great to see her work recognized with an Honorable Mention for the AZ Edu. Foundation’s Teacher of the Year award.

We can't afford more trade chaos with China. Trump’s talks with Xi Jinping need to deliver: crack down on the chemicals fueling America’s fentanyl crisis, and keep our cutting-edge semiconductor tech out of the CCP’s hands. Anything less is a loss for our security and our economy.

Tariffs are really just another tax on you. The longer Trump's trade war goes on, the higher your prices will rise.

Kids shouldn't be forced to go to bed hungry to make a political point. Congress already passed contingency funding for SNAP on a bipartisan basis. Trump's refusal to use it is a choice, and it's sickening.

Today we honor the 11 Jews murdered at the Tree of Life Synagogue for the simple act of practicing their faith. Their memory is a call to action: we have to fight antisemitism, reject political violence, and make sure every person can practice their faith without fear.

What Trump’s health care plan means for you: 🚑 33,000+ East Valley residents seeing their coverage costs double ❤️‍🩹 Families rationing insulin and skipping trips to the doctor 🏥 Rural clinics forced to close their doors We need to save health care.

We salute Luis Ibarra, an Army veteran who dedicated his life to service. After returning from overseas, he organized civil rights protests for the fair treatment of farm workers and went on to give back to his community as a social worker and leader of Friendly House.
