Spent the morning in Madrid with the Elcano Royal Institute, some of Spain’s sharpest foreign policy minds. Spain is one of our oldest allies. Our troops train at their bases. Trump wants to pull us out of NATO. I served alongside allies like these. You don’t throw that away.

Really shows you what Trump’s priorities are. (Spoiler, it’s not everyday Americans)

Arizona’s future depends on strong energy, defense, water, and tech partnerships. That’s why I met with the American Chamber of Commerce in Spain to bring investment home, strengthen our defense supply chains, and make sure Arizona competes and wins.

Arizona and the Basque Country know how to build, from energy to advanced manufacturing to the talent that powers both. Great meeting with President Imanol Pradales to strengthen ties, grow good jobs, and find new ways to work together.

This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. Their sacrifice made everything possible and we carry them with us every day.

This administration cares more about building ballrooms and paying off insurrectionists than taking care of working Americans who are being squeezed at the pump. VoteVets

We’re seeing Republicans manufacture a reason for another regime change war in front of our very eyes—this time in Cuba. I was sent to fight abroad with other working class kids by the same type of DC war hawks. We must say no to more forever wars.

As a marine, I saw firsthand what happens when the U.S. doesn't evolve to modern warfare. If we don't listen to what Ukraine is trying to teach us, young soldiers like my brothers are I are going to die. Hopium Chronicles Simon Rosenberg

My statement on the Senate's vote tonight to advance my War Powers Resolution to force an end to President Trump's war with Iran:

Ukraine is showing us the future of warfare. It is in the United State's strategic interest to make sure that they win. @americanprogress.bsky.social

Trump has no problem sending 18 and 19-year-olds to war just like they did to me and my brothers 21 years ago. And instead of coming to Congress to fund support for our veterans, he's demanding money for his insurrectionist friends and his ballroom. @americanprogress.bsky.social

Don't. Start. Stupid. Wars. @americanprogress.bsky.social

We can't afford veterans' pensions, but we can spend a billion dollars a day on an illegal war nobody voted for. As a veteran, I'll never accept that. Grateful to speak about it this morning at the 2026 Center for American Progress IDEAS Conference.

Trump is creating a nearly $2 billion slush fund with YOUR tax dollars to pay off his insurrectionist allies. This is where your money is actually going. I pushed to stop it. Republicans voted to allow it to happen. Shameful.

Stephen Miller’s mass deportation agenda has gone too far. He’s targeting Dreamers, who know no other home than the US, and letting agents racially profile Latinos. I’m fighting back. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

@gallego.senate.gov on Trump's unauthorized acts in Iran and abroad: "Don't start stupid wars."

Ruben Gallego drops some truth about #Trump #IranWar #CAPIdeas conference @americanprogress.bsky.social

Every time two media giants merge, workers eat the cost. Warner Bros. and Paramount want to combine now, and Arizona's 11,600 movie theater jobs are at risk. I wrote to the DOJ today asking them to do their job and actually review this deal before it does damage. coppercourier.com/news/gallego...

So while you’re struggling to pay for groceries and gas, Trump is using his own Department of Justice to pay HIMSELF $1.776 billion? www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

As a Marine, I've seen the true cost of war. It's always working families who pay. $5 gas. $1,200 in tariffs. A billion dollars a day on Iran. Grateful to speak on this today at Foreign Policy for America.

Trump needs to approve the U.S. arms sale to Taiwan now. Using Taiwan’s security as a bargaining chip isn’t strategy, it’s surrender.

Arizona’s skilled workforce is built with hard work, discipline, and apprenticeship programs like the one at Boilermakers Local 627. Got to meet with trainees, tour the weld shop, and even try my hand at welding!

3-5 years is too long. Northern Arizona's tourism economy is tied to the health of our forests. We need to restore what the White Sage and Dragon Bravo fires took, and we need to do it fast.

Dreamers are an essential part of this country. Deporting the people we've invested decades in is a detriment to the United States.

We should not try to deport Arizonans that want to make this country better.

When it comes to this Administration's treatment of dreamers, Stephen Miller is being a racist and a coward.

I'm joining the Senate Judiciary Committee for a Spotlight Forum on protecting Dreamers. Tune in now. www.youtube.com/live/KZTnLth...

I visited Soldiers Best Friend in Peoria to see firsthand how they’re pairing rescued dogs with veterans living with PTSD. These service dogs are changing lives, and organizations like this are making a real difference for Arizona veterans and their families.

Spent some time back home in Arizona last week. Nothing beats being on the ground with the people I'm fighting for.

Families across the country are having to choose between keeping the lights on and putting gas in their cars. But sure. "The most energy affordable nation in the world."

Tiffany Hudson is a working single mom in Phoenix. She needs SNAP benefits to feed her son, but Trump is cutting her off in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. Billionaires first, working American families last. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We should be following the European Union’s lead here

Families like Beatriz's are why I'm in this fight. Together, we'll pass the Major Richard Star Act to ensure combat-disabled veterans receive their full benefits.

Shelter dogs turned service dogs. That's the simple idea behind Soldiers Best Friend, an organization giving veterans and dogs their lives back here in AZ.

Spent time with Arizona veterans today talking about how we need to pass the Major Richard Star Act to stop combat-wounded vets from getting shortchanged. If you were medically retired due to war injuries, your retirement pay shouldn’t get cut dollar-for-dollar by your VA disability.

Trump started this war and Arizona families are paying for it every day. Gas is up 52%. $1.56 more a gallon since the start of the war in February and nobody in this administration can tell you when it ends.

Had a great visit with Boilermakers Local 627. These apprentices are learning the trades that keep this country running. Trump’s infrastructure cuts hit workers like these hard. Arizona’s growth is picking up the slack, but the federal government should have their back too.

The average first time home buyer is now nearing 40 years old. If nothing changes, we're on track to create the poorest generation of Americans since the Great Depression.

Today I sat down with faith leaders and immigration advocates to hear directly about what's happening on the ground. We discussed how we can work together to fix a broken system and make immigration enforcement in Arizona fair and humane.

Spent some time at Honeywell Aerospace in Glendale. Nearly 7,000 Arizona jobs. And the navigation and guidance systems that got Artemis II to the moon and back were built here. Arizona isn't just part of the space program, we're what makes it work.

Nobody likes utility roulette. That's why I'm pushing for an all-of-the-above energy approach. The goal is getting as much energy on the grid as fast as possible so we can bring utility bills down for everyday Americans.

At the McCain Institute Sedona Forum this morning talking Ukraine. Serious people, hard questions, exactly the conversations we need to be having right now.

Ukraine is figuring out modern warfare in real time. We could be learning from them, but we're not. Because Hegseth has made generals afraid to talk to our own allies. That's how you fall behind.⁩ McCain Institute

Ukraine is winning right now. We should arm them, give them the intelligence they need, and let them strike deep into Russia. Instead we're making them beg for it. Democrat or Republican, the next administration has to make the decision: we want Ukraine to win.⁩ McCain Institute

Over 200 years of strategic alliance between the U.S. and Colombia makes one thing clear: if we don’t have a good partner in Colombia, we don’t have a good partner in Latin America.

Tune in now to hear my live conversation with the Atlantic Council about Colombia’s Presidential Elections! https://www.youtube.com/live/MAgIUaLUPlM?si=-fPrD3k-xlDsBbZU

Energy prices are already climbing. I pressed Secretary Burgum on what the plan is to protect Arizona families from another rate hike.

Today the Supreme Court struck down protections that Civil Rights leaders marched and died for. Pretending this country no longer needs them is dangerous. This is a power grab. And we must fight back.

No one in Arizona has ever told me they want another war. Not once. Trump has started two in 5 months. 13 servicemembers are dead. Now he's threatening Cuba. I'm urging the Senate to vote yes on our war powers resolution. No unauthorized war in Cuba. Come to Congress and make the case.

Always good to sit down with the folks at the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. The jobs, the manufacturing, the semiconductor industry, the growth happening in the Valley right now, it's real. And it's worth fighting to protect.⁩
