I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

RFK Jr’s comments about autistic people made a lot of folks feel like they had to list their accomplishments. To prove the value of their life. Your value doesn’t depend on being able to meet work requirements or write poetry. It just is. Don’t let these sick men make you question your worth.

This is disrespectful and a flat out lie that further stigmatizes autism. It’s not a virus or a disease - it’s a neurological condition with a wide spectrum. Many Americans with autism work, pay taxes, and are living happy and healthy lives.

Arizona’s small and Tribal police departments don’t have massive budgets or endless backup — but they show up every day to protect our communities. I’m backing the bipartisan Invest to Protect Act of 2025 to get them the resources they need to keep Arizona safe.

"I’m too old for this. I just really want to be retired." That’s what one Arizonan said after watching her savings get rocked by Trump’s chaos economy. Our seniors worked hard their whole lives. They deserve to retire with peace of mind.

Tomatoes are about to get a lot more expensive. Trump just announced he’s going to put a special tax on tomatoes. That’s bad news for your grocery budget. I’m demanding the administration reverses this. Arizona families can’t afford it.

History will not look kindly on the imposition of a New McCarthyism upon our universities. I’m proud that my alma maters, Georgetown and Harvard, have Trump’s thought police that they prioritize educational independence above federal money. buff.ly/yVWorxW

The IRS should never be weaponized to go after hardworking immigrants. I’m demanding answers from the Trump admin alongside @RepLindaSanchez and 45 colleagues on their plan to use taxpayer data to target hardworking immigrants. We won’t let them get away with it.

Republicans say they’re pro-family and back the Child Tax Credit— but their budget slashes Medicaid and food assistance millions of children rely on. You can’t call yourself “pro-family” while selling them out for a tax break for billionaires.

We are in a Constitutional crisis. The Trump administration is openly defying the courts by refusing to bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a husband and father who was here legally. It’s on all of us, Republicans and Democrats, to speak out against this abuse of power.

Donald Trump is deporting people illegally, not lowering costs for families, and defying the Supreme Court. Democrats need to take on all these fights.

I spoke out against the Trump Administration’s backwards agenda toward our environment. For decades, protecting the environment was not a partisan issue, it was commonsense. I won’t stop fighting for clean air and clean water for future generations, including my own kids.

I just sat down with Senator Alex Padilla and veterans from our community to hear how cuts to the VA would impact their care. I’ll always stand up to defend our veterans and make sure no veteran goes homeless, hungry, jobless, or without health care.

Last week, House Republicans voted to take another step towards making the largest cuts to Medicaid (or Medi-Cal here in CA) in history. This program is a lifeline for so many families. I'll keep fighting to stop these devastating cuts from becoming a reality.

Trump's unlawful attempt to cut Title I hurts students, especially lower-income students and students with disabilities. Our children deserve better! EVERY child deserves an accessible, high quality, culturally competent education.

Ending humanities grants is a direct attack on those who cultivate the skills and imagination we collectively need to resist Trump's authoritarian agenda. We will fight back in our courts, in the streets, and Congress to protect the arts and civil society.

Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent as Elon Musk, RFK Jr. and the Trump Administration gut essential programs that hardworking Americans rely on. It’s a slap in the face to the families doing everything they can to give their kids a better future.

The Trump Administration threatening Harvard’s tax-exempt status isn’t policy—it’s punishment. A direct attack on academic freedom and a dangerous precedent for every institution that dares to push back on executive overreach.

This is what DOGE cuts look like: an empty warehouse. ECHO Inc. Food Bank in Farmington has twice as many people showing up hungry and in need of food. The government has stopped trucks full of food and cut funding for emergency food providers like ECHO.

The Republican plan to cut nearly $1 billion from Medicaid would devastate treatment for addiction across the country. Billionaires get a tax cut. Everyday people get screwed.

To pay for tax cuts for billionaires, Trump and Musk are cancelling research that could help cure cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. It’s inexcusable and true to form.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.
