U.S. Senator for Arizona. Husband. Dad. Veteran.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Family demands an independent probe after ICE officer fatally shoots a man in Houston

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.

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.

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.
