Gallego's Bid to Keep Kids Offline

Most teenagers today have grown up with social media, but Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) says that doesn't mean they should be... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: A machine that sounds human is still a machine—and older Americans deserve to know the difference. My bill makes sure they do.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Kids are on these apps for hours and it's showing. Grades slipping, confidence shot, and it's not an accident. These platforms mine kids for data and don't care what it costs their mental health. So I'm introducing legislation that says if you're under 16, you need your parent's permission to create an account. We have to protect our kids.

Representative Andy Biggs: Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which included two of my bipartisan amendments. ➩ Audit the Pentagon ➩ Addressing the disparity between Chinese and American mining engineering workforces. I’m grateful for the support of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for these amendments.

Representative Paul Gosar: Senate: Do your job! Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT!

Representative Eli Crane: On Saturday, my staff partnered with the State Department, Coconino County, and the City of Flagstaff for a passport fair. Thanks to the Passport Services team, more than 130 applications were processed. Looking forward to more events like this throughout #AZ02.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Laura and I are devastated to hear of the passing of a beloved member of our Cochise County community, Sheriff’s Assist Team volunteer and Air Force Veteran Steve Ziegler. Steve dedicated his life to serving others. Through his military service, law enforcement career, and nearly two decades with the Cochise County Sheriff’s Assist Team, he made an incredible impact on the people around him and contributed more than 10,000 volunteer hours to our AZ06 community. I was honored to recognize Steve last year at my Veteran Servant Leader Award Ceremony for his faithful service to our community and our country. His dedication, leadership, and selfless commitment to helping others represented the very best of what it means to serve. Steve’s legacy will live on through the many lives he touched and the example of service he leaves behind. My prayers  are with Steve’s family, friends, and the entire Cochise County Sheriff’s Office family during this difficult time.

Representative David Schweikert: Congratulations to Father Tegin Joy Alvarez, who was recently sworn in as a U.S. citizen and proudly serves our country in the military.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: .@GovSherrillNJ wants you to write off 6,600 noncitizens registered to vote in New Jersey as a simple “software glitch.” Hundreds cast real ballots. That’s no glitch. It’s a catastrophic failure proving our elections are wide open to illegal voting. Congressman Hamadeh and 18 House colleagues aren’t buying her excuses, and they won’t let her off the hook.

Representative Greg Stanton: This weekend, @CBI_Arizona made sure Mesa kids have the supplies they need to start the school year right. It was great to spend the morning handing out backpacks and speaking with @mpsaz Superintendent Strom and the volunteers who made it happen.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Too often, the proposed solution is to cut corners on protecting people and our planet. @NRDems recognize that better science and more efficient permitting go hand in hand. We can and should be investing in these areas to build the infrastructure America needs. I'm proud to support three bipartisan bills that do just that.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: The Trump administration’s reckless deportation of Vlad is another example of a broken immigration system that ignores due process and puts lives at risk. He fled persecution in Russia and now faces conscription for a war he adamantly opposes because this administration chose speed and politics over fairness and humanity.
