I don’t want to see more Americans lose their lives in this war.

The families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, American citizens killed by their own government, deserve more than a personnel swap. They deserve an Administration who leads with competence, accountability, and respect for the Constitution. I'll be watching closely.

Kristi Noem is gone. Good, but it’s the bare minimum. Two American citizens killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Court orders violated. FEMA gutted. Firing her doesn’t fix all of that, but it’s a start.

I just voted yes on the war powers resolution to rein in this President. Trump promised no new wars in the Middle East, and now we're in one with no plan and no end in sight.

Flipping this seat won’t be easy, but James Talarico showed he knows how to inspire Texans with his vision for a better future.

I'm ready to do my part to get him across the finish line this November, and I hope you'll join me. Control of the Senate may depend on it.

I’m live with VoteVets to discuss the war in Iran, how Trump is attacking vets’ rights, and why the midterm elections are our chance to hold this Administration accountable. Watch here:

The American people deserve an explanation before Trump sends their sons and daughters to fight overseas. Instead, we’ve gotten changing stories from a President who doesn’t even seem focused on the war he just started.

This is exactly why I fought to pass the CHIPS and Science Act — to bring the future of American manufacturing to Arizona. It's bringing good-paying jobs, fueling our economy, and making sure Arizona leads the world in innovation.

I’m thankful for our servicemembers’ professionalism and bravery. And I can’t stop thinking about those who will never return to their families. They deserve leaders who understand the consequences of risking their lives. That’s not what we’re getting from Trump or Hegseth.

We need to rein in this President. That starts with the Senate passing Tim Kaine’s War Powers Resolution immediately.

It should have been brought to the floor before this President sent troops into harm’s way with no explanation or plan.

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that. 

Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

It wasn’t long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and he’s doing it all without Congressional approval.

The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.

The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

If records tied to Donald Trump are missing from the Epstein files, that's not a coincidence. The FBI interviewed the victim multiple times, so those records exist. Where are they?

Release everything, as the law requires. If there's nothing to hide, prove it.

From some of the first pilots to the engineers who put Americans in space — the legacy of these Black pioneers is inseparable from aviation and aerospace itself. They opened the skies for everyone.

Today, my dear friend Gabe Zimmerman should be celebrating his 46th birthday, but was shot and killed at our Congress on Your Corner event on January 8th, 2011.

Trump lies about the “roaring economy” while Arizona families struggle to get ahead. I'm fighting to lower the cost of everything from groceries to health care, because that's what you sent me here to do.

Prices are up, and families are struggling because Trump’s tariffs raised their bills by more than $1,000 last year. He just lost at the Supreme Court and doubled down on tariffs anyway. Trump can’t admit when he’s wrong, and Americans are literally paying the price.

Prices are not “down” for Americans. While Trump and his billionaire friends get richer, working families are stretching every dollar to cover food, rent, and gas. He needs to come back to reality and work with us to actually bring down costs.

Well, Donald Trump has said one thing so far that is true: We need to ban stock trading in Congress. I’ve been fighting for years to get it done. Just need Republicans to put it up for a vote.

No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the American people already know that he's failed to lower costs, failed working families, and failed to uphold the Constitution. I’ll be there, because I won’t let him or anyone else intimidate me or keep me from doing my job.

Making housing more affordable for working families means cutting red tape that slows down construction, cracking down on corporate landlords who jack up rent, and supporting policy that puts families first.

High housing costs hit everyone – renters, first-time buyers, and growing families who need a bigger home. But they hit working families hardest. Any solution worth pursuing has to start there.

AI is changing the way we work, fast. We need commonsense rules of the road that protect families while promoting innovation. The potential to make life better for a lot of Americans is there — but only if we put the right systems in place. That's what I'm working toward.

To the Moon and back.

From climbing on roofs, to falling out of trees, to flying airplanes off of ships and rockets into space, I’m kind of shocked both of us made it this far. Happy Birthday, Scott.

The Supreme Court’s decision is good news for everyone. Trump’s tariffs are a tax on everyday Arizonans. Everyone felt the burden — ranchers, farmers, small businesses, and families. Today’s low GDP numbers make it clear: We can’t afford trade policies that hold our economy back.

Big corporations are planning to dump millions of dollars into the 2026 elections. As long as we allow corporate money to flood our political system, Washington will continue to fail working families. I refuse to take corporate PAC money and I’m working to ban it completely.

We need to teach that kind of service, starting with civics education that explains how our government works and how to fix it when it doesn’t. A stronger democracy starts with engaged citizens who understand their power and use it.
