Official account of Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, Representative for Arizona’s Third Congressional District.
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.

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.

Speaker Johnson kicked me out of his office. Here's why.

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.

I’m on my way back to the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona. I’m going to check on my constituent, Yari, who is sick with leukemia, and demand that ICE release the results of her October oncology visit.

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.

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.

Federal judges just ruled Trump must release the billions in SNAP funding he’s illegally withholding.

Heading home to Phoenix to support the food banks and community health centers making sure families have what they need.

Alejandro Juárez lived in the United States for decades and worked at one of Trump's golf courses. He has a wife and kids here. ICE “accidentally” deported him to Mexico earlier this year.

Trump’s authoritarian regime is out of control—we’re not going to stop fighting back.

Back in DC. It’s infuriating how little Trump and Republicans care about the damage they’re causing. We’re fighting to fix their healthcare crisis and re-open the government.

Day 27 of the Trump–Republican shutdown. Trump’s top priority is his $350M ballroom, House Republicans are still on vacation, and Scott Bessent is pretending he knows what working families are going through.

They’re out of touch and they don’t care about you.

The Republican health care crisis can’t be pushed off for later.

We need real action now. Republicans haven’t even shown up in DC, and Trump’s number one priority isn’t ending this shutdown, it’s building his $350 million ballroom.

Republicans are still on vacation while @seiu.org workers in Arizona like Raul and Ezra at @phxskyharbor.bsky.social are worried about affording healthcare and keeping a roof over their heads.

Democrats are at the negotiating table. Will Speaker Johnson and Republicans finally show up?
October 22, 2025 at 11:23 PM
As the youngest woman in Congress, I know who pays the price when the government fails: we do. Women.

While Trump and Republicans take vacations, we’re here fighting to reopen the government and protect our healthcare.

I was in that interview with Alex Acosta—what I heard was deflection, not truth.

The Oversight Committee, with Speaker Mike Johnson present, heard a survivor testify that Epstein abused girls while in jail.

The cover-up has gone on long enough. Release the full Epstein files.
October 18, 2025 at 5:09 PM
I called my constituents to hear directly how the Trump and Republican health care crisis and government shutdown are hurting our community.

They have a few thoughts for Speaker Johnson.
