Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.

Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.

America deserves better.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

Great to be back in Tucson with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social for El Tour de Tucson. Turns out the secret to a strong marriage is an annual 32-mile bike ride. Thanks to everyone who stopped us to say hello.

Trump has been firing those who disagree with him, but here’s the thing: He can’t fire us.

He can try to intimidate all he wants, but I’m not going to be bullied.

A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.

Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.

Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out β€” and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

There is nothing more American than standing up for the Constitution. And that's something Donald Trump will never understand.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit β€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

It finally happened, folks. The House and the Senate both voted to release the Epstein files, almost unanimously. It’s past time the victims get the justice they deserve.

Trump sees the writing on the wall β€” there's more than enough votes to release the Epstein files because Americans want to see some accountability for the victims of these heinous crimes. As soon as the House passes their bill, the Senate needs to take it up immediately.

In Trump’s America, β€œstruggling” billionaires need a giant tax cut, but working people don’t deserve support to keep their health care premiums from going up.Β 

We have to keep fighting to give Americans relief from rising costs, because they’re not going to get it from Trump.

Seeing over 200 folks in Sedona with the Dems of the Red Rocks reminds me why I'm hopeful. Arizonans are doing the work to hold Trump accountable for choosing big corporations over working people. We'll retake the House and Senate in 2026 because of the work being done right now.

Private Employers β€˜Struggled’ In October As Job Market Faces Historic Decline Earlier data indicated private-sector payrolls increased in October after declining in the two previous months.

Every piece of data that comes out shows Trump’s policies are hurting our economy and killing jobs. With him in charge, Americans are paying more, losing health care, and getting laid off. That’s his legacy.

As a Navy vet, I’ve seen how public service teaches you the kind of social and job skills that can change your life’s trajectory. Think about how much stronger our country could be if young people had more opportunities like that β€” military or otherwise.

Maybe you can send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night, but most Americans are trying to figure out which bills they can pay with their last $50.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

Drip, drip, drip. It’s past time for the Speaker of the House and Republicans in Congress to do the right thing and release the Epstein files to the American people. Anything less than full disclosure is just part of the coverup.

12.11.2025 20:16 β€” πŸ‘ 609    πŸ” 102    πŸ’¬ 20    πŸ“Œ 0

After repeated delays and excuses, Speaker Johnson will finally swear in Adelita Grijalva. Southern ArizonansΒ will get the representation they voted for β€” and Adelita will be the final signature on the House discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches

Republican Senators slipped this nugget into the CR last night. Rigging the legal system to give $500,000 or more to each of them because someone followed the facts and looked at their phone records. That’s your money folks.

Happy Veterans Day, Arizona. When you’ve put your life on the line for our freedoms, our country should always have your back. It’s my honor to represent our state’s veterans and servicemembers in the Senate, and I’ll always fight to make sure they get the benefits they deserve.

Trump’s only priority is giving a big tax cut to rich people, screwing over working people, and making his family richer while Americans struggle to get by. Republicans might not care about the families he’s hurting, but I do β€” and I won’t stop fighting for them.

For over a month, I’ve been raising the alarm that millions of Americans’ health care costs could double or triple and that many won’t be able to afford their health insurance at all. Trump and Republican leaders have shown no interest in fixing this problem.

10.11.2025 19:45 β€” πŸ‘ 292    πŸ” 19    πŸ’¬ 7    πŸ“Œ 2

I voted NO on this funding bill. The last thing American families need right now is skyrocketing health care premiums as they struggle to keep up with rising costs β€” but that’s exactly what they’re facing because of Trump and Republicans.

I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

President Trump needs to fund SNAP.Β

I’m not saying we should ban AI in school outright. We need to make sure AI is a tool, not a crutch. It might be the most important thing we can do for our kids’ future. AI should help them reach their potential β€” not diminish it.

Dozens of states are restricting phones in school, but the truth is this problem started more than a decade ago. It's good we're fixing it, but the next challenge to kids’ education is already here with AI. I don’t want to make the same mistake. Let’s act early and thoughtfully.

Phones and social media in school have long been a disaster for learning, but the good news is that we’re now banning cellphones in the classroom and it seems to be working. Now the question is if we’re going to learn from this and act early on AI.

What can we learn from all that? Listen to people and then go to bat for them. If we do that, we’ll keep winning and be able to deliver lower costs, safer communities, and get rid of the corruption in Washington.

And finally, the candidates who won were running AGAINST people endorsed by Donald Trump. Like seriously, all of them. Americans are sick of tariffs raising their costs while he focuses on renovating bathrooms in the White House.
