Senator Ruben Gallego: The Trump administration wants to eliminate FEMA, which provides relief to Americans after disaster strikes. In Arizona, wildfire season is around the corner. We can’t afford to play games with our safety.
Does Texas have a constitutional right to defy Supreme Court on protecting its border?
Representative Andy Biggs: My legislation, the Knife Owners Protection Act (KOPA), just passed out of @JudiciaryGOP. KOPA is a common sense bill that will protect traveling knife owners from the vagaries of restrictive state and local laws.
Representative Paul Gosar: Where was the outrage or calls for resignations from the left when Biden's SecDef, Lloyd Austin, disappeared for days without telling anyone? Or how about the four yrs Biden was in office asleep at the wheel with the nuke codes?
Representative Eli Crane: The federal bureaucracy is not your friend. Its influence on your life should be minimal. Be cautious of the motives of anyone that tells you otherwise.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: The Congressional Fitness Challenge is an invitation – not just to kids, but to parents, teachers, coaches, and lawmakers – to invest in the next generation, This is America's chance to lead, participate, and build a healthier, stronger future.
Representative Greg Stanton: FEMA has always been non-partisan. Whether you're from a red state or a blue state, it didn't matter—after a natural disaster, the federal government has been there to help. We're going to fight to protect this life-saving agency from Trump and DOGE's cuts.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: My Republican colleagues would rather try to pick fights in committee than talk about how their insane cuts to the VA are literally stealing jobs from veterans. Their obsession with theatrics and buzzwords is all a distraction from the real people they're hurting.
Governor Katie Hobbs: My office is now displaying Tribal flags that the Trump administration removed from the Phoenix VA Hospital. Arizona is proud of the Tribal Veterans who sacrificed for their country. We should recognize their service, not disrespect their heritage.
AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: The Trump administration is STILL holding up disaster relief funds, including funds needed by thousands of victims of the Maui Fires. With wildfire season upon us in AZ, I'll keep fighting in court to ensure these critically needed funds are delivered.
State Senator Janae Shamp: AZ joins a growing list of states regulating Pharmacy Benefit Managers, with a 2021 GAO report noting a $152 billion rise in private health plan prescription drug spending since 2016. This new law is a game-changer for Arizona patients, ensuring that PBMs can’t deny coverage for prescribed drugs, and I'm proud to have led the reform!!
State Representative Nick Kupper: I’m not a very emotional person but Rep Crocket’s abhorrent disrespect for our disabled population really pisses me off! I do not often see eye to eye with my Dem counterparts, but I would never disrespect them for being disabled. She owes Gov Abbott a full & sincere apology.
State Representative Rachel Keshel: Election Integrity Update!!! @Tmartinez4AZ and I promised that we would diligently pursue the many failures by Pima County in the 2024 election. We sent multiple legislative inquiries to ensure that laws were followed and ballots were properly tracked and counted. We were largely ignored and told “Nothing to see here.” We finally got some answers and they are interesting indeed. In regard to President Trump’s EO issued today, we will relentlessly continue to pursue the questions our constituents need answers to. Stay tuned.
