Social media is poisoning our kids’ developing minds. When unsupervised online, they can be exposed to explicit material, recruited by drug or sex traffickers, or cyber bullied. Meanwhile, Big Tech is profiting off of that very screen time. It’s time we set a federal policy to protect our children.

Half of American parents are going into debt just to send their kids back to school. That's not normal. That's a cost of living crisis. I'm fighting every day to lower costs for Arizona families so back to school doesn't mean back to debt.
There’s no national coalition, no vibrant democracy, without Latinos. When they try to make us feel hopeless or drive us into the shadows, we fight back. We organize, we register, and we bring our people to the polling booth. ¡Muchas gracias, @weareunidosus.bsky.social! ¡Seguimos adelante!
Trump is trying to restrict vote-by-mail, but he doesn't call the shots. Arizonans — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents — have decided they want to vote-by-mail, so we're going to continue to vote-by-mail.
Kids are on these apps for hours and it's showing. Grades slipping, confidence shot. These platforms mine kids for data and don't care what it costs their mental health. My bill says if you're under 16, you need your parent's permission to create an account. We have to protect our kids.
I grew up working construction sites. Yesterday I worked alongside @habitatcaz.bsky.social, the #1 Habitat affiliate out of 1,000 for families served. Arizona's growing fast but construction hasn't kept up. My ROAD to Housing Act will boost supply and lower costs for families buying a home.
There are some good things in this bill. But some of that good is paid for by robbing one veteran to pay another. We don't have to choose between veterans. Fund it right.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s sons never got to say goodbye to their father. It’s high time the Department of Homeland Security reigns in ICE’s reckless and cavalier behavior before they tear more families apart.
When we invest in men's health, we build stronger families and stronger communities.
This is horrifying. We must hold these companies accountable. futurism.com/artificial-i...
"You Are Not Delusional... You Are Prophetic": Lawsuit Alleges That ChatGPT Encouraged Suicide of Woman Who Walked Into Traffic
A lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT stoked the religious delusions of an Alabama woman, who took her life last year by walking onto an interstate.

Navy Federal Credit Union already agreed to pay back $80 million in illegal overdraft fees to veterans and service members. Then Russell Vought tore up the order and killed the deal. He says the order was unlawful. What's actually unlawful is stiffing our troops out of the $80 million they're owed.
Last night the Senate unanimously passed my resolution with Senator Lummis saying Sam Bankman-Fried should never get a pardon. He stole more than $8 billion from hardworking Americans and a jury convicted him unanimously. He's a criminal who deserves to stay locked up. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
US Senate Unanimously Opposes Sam Bankman-Fried Pardon
The nonbinding resolution said the disgraced FTX founder should 'under no circumstances' receive clemency.

Standing up for our dignity, demanding economic fairness, and protecting our families is not in opposition of America, it is the most American thing we could be doing. @naleoofficial.bsky.social
Once again, this administration has made Latinos feel like we aren't part of this country when that couldn't be further from the truth. Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo were killed just for fighting for their families and for the American Dream @naleoofficial.bsky.social
When right wing extremists say that Latinos aren't Americans, they couldn't be more wrong. If they step onto any military base across the country, they'll see Latinos everywhere who are willing to give up their lives for this country. @naleoofficial.bsky.social

It's almost like his actions had consequences.
The explosive diarrhea-causing cyclosporiasis outbreak has now spread to 31 states, with nearly 7,000 potential cases. Last year, RFK ordered the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network to stop tracking cyclosporiasis.
The ROAD to Housing Act is officially law. It stops Wall Street from buying up single family homes and cuts the red tape standing in the way of new construction. This is for every Arizona family just trying to buy a home.
The FHA's multifamily loan limits haven't been updated since 2003. Construction costs have. That gap is choking apartment supply nationwide, and it's a big reason your rent keeps going up. I teamed up with a Republican to fix the math. Get builders back to building. Now it's law.
The projected price tag of Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran: $1 trillion Imagine what that money could do if we invested it in schools, housing, and health care instead of sending working-class kids to die.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo did everything right. A hardworking father who gave dozens of men a shot at the American dream. Driving his crew to work, ICE stopped him in unmarked cars and shot him dead. We need a full investigation. ICE’s track record says their story can’t be trusted.

My mom bought her first home with a government loan. I still remember how proud she was. Congress passed the biggest housing bill in decades. It builds more homes, cuts red tape, and helps disabled veterans get housed. Several of those fixes are bills I wrote.
13 years ago today, the Yarnell Hill Fire took 19 of the Granite Mountain Hotshots from us. They were sons, husbands, fathers, and friends who gave everything for their neighbors. Arizona remembers them today, and every day.
Spent the weekend up in Page and Tuba City with the people who make this part of Arizona what it is. Grateful for their time, and for everything they do out here.
Good night in Tuba City with Tribal Veterans from across the Navajo Nation. Native Americans have served in every war this country fought. The least we owe them is a VA that shows up. I served. I know what that promise means.
11 years ago today the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land. Over 800,000 couples have married since. Their families are real. Their rights are not negotiable.
Interns sprint to spread the news that the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage on the day of the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling
Four years ago today, the Supreme Court took away a right women had for 50 years. Since then we’ve watched women denied care, doctors second-guessing themselves, and families put through hell. None of it had to happen. We’re not going back. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Growing up, I didn't always have a bed. But I always had a home. Millions of Americans are desperate for that kind of stability and President Trump just ripped it away from them. I'm going to block all Republican House bills until Mike Johnson sends the ROAD to Housing Act to the White House.
