Senator Mark Kelly: I just left the court. Today’s hearing was not just for my Constitutional rights, but for millions of retired veterans and all Americans. There is nothing more fundamental to our Democracy than the freedom to speak out about our government – that’s what I’m fighting for. Given what’s at stake, I appreciate the judge’s quick and careful consideration in this lawsuit.     I wore the uniform to defend this country and our Constitution. Secretary Hegseth has censured me and is trying to demote me for things I said. For doing my job as a Senator. This isn’t happening in isolation. Since taking office, this administration has repeatedly gone after the First Amendment rights of Americans. That’s not how we do things in the United States of America.    We have the Constitution and the law on our side.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Rebuilding the middle class starts with families. The Strong Start Act gives parents $3,000 when their baby is born and sets every child up with a $1,000 bond that will grow over their lifetime that they can cash in when they’re 18. It’s about helping families stay afloat early and giving kids a real shot later.

Representative Andy Biggs: It's 2026, and Democrats still won't protect women's sports from being infiltrated by delusional men. So much for protecting women!

Representative Eli Crane: Had a great meeting with key Arizona members of the @NationalSheriff. Appreciate Sheriff David Rhodes of Yavapai County, as well as @SheriffClouse and Chief Deputy Bruce Tucker of Navajo County, for stopping by. #AZ02 is blessed to have these strong leaders.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: This weekend, Laura and I welcomed Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Yechiel Leiter to Tucson. Meaningful dialogue and the opportunity to highlight the deep, values-based bond between the U.S. and Israel. Proud to support our strongest ally in the Middle East.

Representative David Schweikert: In about 3 years, HALF of every federal dollar will go to people 65 and older. In the early 2030s, roughly 30% of all tax receipts go just to interest on the debt. Washington has decided everyone still working exists to feed the debt machine.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Great catching up with Sheriff David Rhodes (Yavapai), Sheriff David Clouse (Navajo), & Deputy Chief Bruce Tucker (Navajo), who are in town for the National Sheriffs’ Association Winter Conference! Congressman Hamadeh proudly stands with Arizona's dedicated sheriffs. They are vital partners in protecting our communities, securing our borders, and defending the rule of law.

Representative Greg Stanton: I joined @RepRickLarsen to condemn the illegal "renovations" the President is planning to make to the Kennedy Center: “The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a cherished American institution that doubles as a monument to the 35th President of the U.S. Any attempts to remodel or remake this beloved cultural center must be coordinated with Congress, the Board of Trustees, and other relevant parties. Unfortunately, it appears that President Trump is instead charging ahead with a ham-handed attempt to unilaterally remake the Kennedy Center in his own image. This is as unlawful as it is distasteful.”

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor's appointment when she was violently detained by ICE. She’s a U.S. citizen with a disability. Listen to her powerful testimony.
