This is government failure at its worst. During the deadliest Texas floods in years, FEMA help was delayed because of a policy requiring Kristi Noem’s PERSONAL approval. We lost 120 lives. 170 people are still missing. I’m demanding a full investigation.

There is zero reason ICE agents should be hiding their faces or identities. This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear theater. And now we’re seeing copycat attacks causing more chaos and violence. It needs to stop.

Why the hell was a wildfire allowed to burn at the Grand Canyon in the middle of July during one of the driest years on record? 
I’m demanding answers and a full investigation from the Department of the Interior.

It's almost like his actions had consequences.

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.
