Senator Mark Kelly: Just got my own challenge coins, so thought I’d show you the other coins I’ve received over the years. I have a coffee table full of them.

Senator Ruben Gallego: This administration says their tariffs on Canada will bring back American manufacturing. They won't. Smart industrial policy—like the CHIPS Act—and real cooperation with Canada are what actually build a stronger North American economy that can compete with China. This trade war with Canada is just reckless.

Representative Andy Biggs: Charlie Kirk believed in an America where speech is protected and ideas are openly debated. He was murdered because some people fear—and even hate—this God-given freedom. As today's actions prove, the liberties Charlie died advocating for are still under attack. We will not let the enemies of freedom win. We will continue to defend our rights, empower new generations of patriots, and honor the legacy of our fallen friend.

Representative David Schweikert: At a 5% average interest rate, $63 trillion in debt means about $3.15 trillion a year just to pay interest. By 2036, that could consume roughly 56% of federal revenue outside payroll taxes. That’s interest fragility. Eventually you’re borrowing just to cover the cost of past borrowing.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Our district staff was invited to Glendale Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 12’s NFL kickoff event, where they fed officers and civilians. It was nice to be there with Lodge 12 and the community behind the officers who keep Glendale safe.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: .@econliberties and I hosted a roundtable with @SenAnaliseOrtiz, @AnnaHernandezAZ, and housing advocates and experts to discuss the root causes of the housing crisis in Phoenix and policy solutions to lower housing costs. I heard from community members who shared their stories about the impacts of investor-owned housing and the severe lack of attainable homeownership for those in the middle and working classes. I'm grateful to the American Economic Liberties Project for their hard work exposing the policies that have enabled large corporations to hoard land and homes. We must continue to make housing policy decisions that open the American Dream to more Phoenicians.
