Rep Ciscomani lied to his constituents then voted to strip them of their health care.

Your insurance premium is going up. Your grocery bill is going up. Your rent is going up. And what’s Trump doing? Starting more foreign wars so billionaire oil barons can cash in.

Today the Senate votes on Senator Kaine’s War Powers resolution to block Trump’s unauthorized war in Venezuela. I’m voting YES. I won’t look Arizona’s working-class kids in the eye, the ones always sent to fight, and pretend this war is worth their lives. It isn’t.

There needs to be an investigation—now. This is what happens when Stephen Miller and this administration terrorizes communities by rushing to hire their under trained and ill-equipped goon squads.

The notion that Trump can unilaterally buy or take Greenland is beyond absurd.
Any effort to acquire territory, by treaty or joint resolution MUST go through Congress. And joint resolutions require the territory’s consent. This isn’t just another one of his real estate deals.

This is not more complicated than the fact that Trump wants a big island with his name on it. He wouldn’t think twice about putting our troops in danger if it makes him feel big and strong.

This is on the White House website of the so-called “party of law and order.” Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She died trying to kill cops and elected officials. She had a knife.

WAKE UP. Trump is telling us exactly what he wants to do.
We must stop him before he invades another country on a whim.
I’m introducing a resolution to block Trump from invading Greenland. No more forever wars.

Trump won’t rule out American boots on the ground in Venezuela.
The American people don’t want that. They don’t want their kids sent overseas to fight for Big Oil while they can’t afford a home or health care.

2025 tested our country. But from day one, I’ve made it my mission to show up, listen to, and fight for Arizonans. In 2026 I won’t back down. The best part of this job has been, and will always be, working for Arizonans.

The worst thing we can do now is pull the rug out from 24 million Americans by letting their health care costs skyrocket.
I continue to be ready and willing to work across the aisle to get something done.

Spent time on the picket line today listening to workers about why this fight matters — and why they’re not backing down.

All these workers want is a fair shot at the American Dream. That's why I'm fighting with them for what they deserve: living wages and fair labor practices.

So you’re saying we spent an entire year working to extradite someone back to the US so we could prosecute them for smuggling aviation equipment to Russia…only to try to DEPORT THEM!
Insane self-own.

ACA tax credits expire at the end of the month and Republicans are wandering the halls like nothing’s happening.
Millions of lives are at stake. They should act like it. If not out of basic decency, then at least because the political fallout will be brutal.
