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: 🧵

Last night, the Senate passed a funding bill that does nothing to fix the healthcare crisis Republicans created. Unacceptable. Flying back to DC to fight this joke of a “deal” and vote NO.

This “deal” would force 370,000 Arizonans to pay more for the same or worse healthcare coverage.
I refuse to make life harder for the people I serve. I’m absolutely a NO.

Trump’s @usdagov.bsky.social just told states to “undo” full SNAP benefits—and threatened to punish them if they keep feeding families.
They are intentionally starving Americans while Trump plays golf and throws lavish parties for billionaires.
It’s unconscionable. And we won’t let it stand.

Trump’s attacks on healthcare have been devastating.
I visited Terros Health in Phoenix this week—a community health center stretched to the brink by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.
We should be strengthening these lifelines, not starving them.

If ACA tax credits expire, a family of four in AZ making $130K will see their premium increase by nearly $10K. Republicans want to slash affordable healthcare and let the American people suffer, but I refuse to give in.

Arizona ACA enrollees face tough choices as government shutdown continues
As people look for coverage through the ACA in 2026, they are facing serious changes that are forcing tough choices between higher costs and fewer coverage options.

We’re in Day 36 of the government shutdown and ICE has said they are not taking visits from Members of Congress.
My constituent, Yari, is sick with leukemia and we are not getting answers. After some insisting, I was let in and I was with her for two hours.
Full recap soon.

Deeply inspired by our community stepping up as Trump withholds SNAP benefits.
This weekend, King Pigeon Thrift & Vintage turned their shop into a pop-up pantry and, with local volunteers, got 4,000 lbs of food + $1,100 of fresh supplies to families in need.
Real life heroes.

It’s Day 35 of the Trump-Republican shutdown—the longest in U.S. history. Millions are losing food assistance. And now Trump is refusing to release $4.65B in SNAP funds even after the USDA agreed to. People deserve better than this reckless cruelty.

I stand with the Nigerian American community. Donald Trump’s reckless threats do nothing to restore desperately-needed security in the region. No president can take unilateral military action without coming to Congress first.

This weekend, rent was due, and 42 million Americans lost access to SNAP benefits. Trump and Republicans are letting children and families go hungry.
So we show up for each other. Thank you Puente for making sure our neighbors have food on the table.

This is illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerously reckless. No president gets to wage war alone.
