Senator Mark Kelly: ICE is out of control, and under no circumstances should the agency be allowed to investigate itself — especially when people are killed. There needs to be independent and unbiased investigations when agents use force, and ICE must cooperate with local law enforcement when needed.
Senator Ruben Gallego: We cannot stand for this. While Ortega plays strongman, the Nicaraguan people will suffer. Strengthening democracy in the Western Hemisphere is important now more than ever in the face of a rising China.
Representative Andy Biggs: Arizona is a national leader for manufacturing, and the Working Families Tax Cuts has bolstered our standing for years to come. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, this legislation protected tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in wages and GDP.
Representative Eli Crane: UPDATE – Important progress in the Senate on the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025. Thanks to Chairman @SenMikeLee for including this bill in today's hearing. Read testimony from @NatlParkService here: energy.senate.gov/services/files
Representative David Schweikert: Washington may be a math-free zone. The bond market is not. We are borrowing $93,000 every second. The next reconciliation bill has to show the markets that someone in Congress still owns a calculator.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: The Congressman's BRRRRT Act is simple: we’re not retiring a battle-proven legend like the A-10 until we have a real replacement ready. This is about common sense, national security, & honoring the brave troops who depend on it. They deserve the best.
Representative Greg Stanton: The largest foreign investment in American history is happening right here in Arizona. TSMC is investing another $100 billion here, bringing tens of thousands of jobs and four new chip fabs to our community.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Republicans know they can't pass their voter suppression bill without creating a trap and tying it to something else. That's why they’ve attached the SAVE Act to a stock trading ban. This is an attempt to trick Americans and ram this awful policy through before they go on summer vacation. I'm a cosponsor of every bill to ban stock trading, but I won’t vote for one that will take away your right to vote along with it.
