We’re seeing so many extreme actions from the Trump administration.
These actions are hurting Arizonans. I want you to know that I’m doing everything in my power to stand up and fight back, even while Trump tries to avoid accountability. Here’s how: 🧵

Every single Arizona Republican voted to rip away your health care and instead give $170 billion to DHS and ICE.
That money is now being funneled to private prison corporations to detain tens of thousands of human beings based on insane, fake quotas.
It’s authoritarian and deeply corrupt.

Trump’s ICE detained Flor—a DACA recipient, mother, and sole provider for her kids—in my district on Christmas Eve. Their cruelty is sickening. We demand her immediate release.

The American public has had enough. They’re tired of powerful, wealthy men escaping accountability, and of the corruption and cover-ups coming from the Trump Administration. Release the full, unredacted Epstein files now.

Because of inaction by GAT Airline Support, former Sky Chefs drivers, cooks, commissary, & food service workers are out of work this holiday season.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is entering its busiest travel period with fewer experienced workers on the job. Corporate negligence hurts workers & passengers.

This week, a judge halted Trump’s illegal attempt to block unannounced congressional visits to ICE detention centers.
Today, my staff was able to speak directly with our constituent Yari about her case. Real-time oversight is essential.

Donald Trump and his DOJ are continuing to cover up the Epstein Files. A selective or partial release is an explicit violation of federal law.

Disgusting and hateful. @repilhan.bsky.social is a duly elected Member of Congress with more grace, patience, and respect from her constituents than you will ever have, Rep. Fine. Islamophobia is dangerous; this cannot and will not stand.

My first year in Congress: 20 bills, 13 town halls, 400+ funding requests, and a relentless fight to protect immigrants, lower costs, and hold Trump’s corrupt, authoritarian administration accountable.

I was just at a @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing on my bill that identifies best practices for efficient and environmentally responsible geothermal permitting. Attacks on clean energy are costing Americans, killing hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, and intensifying the climate crisis.

Republicans have been fighting the ACA since it passed in 2010, and this year was no exception. While they could've worked with Democrats to lower costs, they shut down the government instead. Now, millions of Americans are about to see their healthcare premiums double or worse.

Tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah. As our Jewish communities gather, my heart is with the victims of the devastating antisemitic attack in Sydney.
May these next eight nights bring light, peace, and safety to those celebrating in Phoenix, Glendale, Guadalupe, and across the country. 🕎

I am devastated by the news of a mass shooting at Brown University.

Gun violence should never be accepted as normal.

I’m the proud daughter of immigrants who fled authoritarianism. In fact, my dad is the most patriotic American I know.
It’s devastating to watch the Trump Admin wage a war on immigrant communities across this country. We can’t stand for it, and we will hold them accountable.

Just added my name to a discharge petition to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. This bill doesn't go far enough, but it's a start. Next, we're holding the president to the same standards.

Due process at work. I traveled to El Salvador because Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case was always about more than one man. It was about our constitutional rights. We’re fighting for fair treatment for every immigrant wrongfully detained or deported. We need to stay loud.
