As someone who is neurodivergent like Aliya, thank you, @yassaminansari.bsky.social, for being exceptionally respectful towards Aliya Rahman during her testimony to Congress.

Federal agents should have never brutalized Aliya.

Young Arizonans are out knocking doors in our district, talking to neighbors about getting ICE out of our communities, lowering housing costs, and tackling extreme heat.

We’re building a movement in #AZ03 to register new voters, turn people out, and win statewide this year.

Voices from Friday’s demonstration at the Arizona State Capitol against ICE. People showed up for their families, their patients, and our democracy.

If you protested this weekend, tell us below: who or what did you show up for?

On Monday, federal agents raided 15 Zipps locations in the valley. Our community showed up and made it clear: ICE is not welcome here. #IceOutNow

From Phoenix to Minnesota, we’re standing together and saying it plainly: ICE must get out of our communities.

So inspired by everyone out here today refusing to back down against authoritarianism.

Horrific videos from Minneapolis show ANOTHER murder by Trump’s authoritarian military force.

Let me be very clear: we must ABOLISH ICE.

I was so inspired by the people who showed up today.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social is an American hero who’s always put Arizona first. I’m proud to have his endorsement for my re-election, and I look forward to continuing our work together for Arizona and the country.

I concur with @yassaminansari.bsky.social. The 25th Amendment must be invoked against Trump.

Ansari wants to abolish for-profit immigration detention centers "There is no accountability for these for-profit detention centers under Donald Trump. They don’t care about these people."

I’ve seen the abuse and dehumanizing treatment of human beings inside ICE detention centers firsthand.

These for-profit prisons are part of Trump’s corruption machine and don’t make us any safer. Abolish them.

Last year, I was sworn in as the youngest woman in Congress, part of a new generation of leadership. And as a young woman, I know that progress isn’t handed to us β€” it’s built by people who refuse to give up. I’m running for re-election in Arizona’s Third District.

Arizona Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and food assistance to fund unprecedented tax cuts for the rich and pour $170 billion into DHS and ICE.

Now that money is being used to expand private prison-run detention centers and house human beings in warehouses. Indefensible.

The Trump White House’s cover-up of the Epstein Files is criminal, and we will not back down until the truth is fully exposed.

If you’re an FBI agent who worked on this case and want justice for survivors, whistleblower protections exist. Oversight Democrats have a secure tip line.

I’m heartbroken and furious to learn of the vile, blatantly antisemitic terrorist attack against the Jewish community in Australia, carried out on the first night of Hanukkah.

Andre House shows up year-round for our unhoused neighbors with meals, clothing, and essential care.

Grateful we could help prep and serve 500+ meals this weekend with @southmtndems.bsky.social.

As a new generation of Democratic leaders steps up, it was an honor of a lifetime to help host this conversation with President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and the freshman class.

They remind us that cynicism is a luxury we can’t afford. Our work matters, and so does our hope.

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.

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 here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

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.

My family fled authoritarianism to find freedom in the United States.

Now I’m fighting to protect it with millions who know that real power comes from usβ€”the people.

There are #NoKings in America.

Live on @msnbc.com from Phoenix where people showed up to say: no kings, no dictators, and no ICE terrorizing our communities.

This is what democracy looks like and it’s the best of America.
