Senator Mark Kelly: Citizens United made it easier for billionaires to buy influence and harder for Americans to be heard. It's time we do something about it.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Call it whatever you want. When people are shooting, it’s war. When the President deploys the U.S. military, it’s war. Republicans just voted to give away Congress’s authority and green-lit a war no one wants. That’s dangerous. Period.

Representative Andy Biggs: I'll be voting YES on @RepEliCrane's amendment to defund the National Endowment for Democracy. NED's goals are opaque and political, and Congress shouldn't give them another dime.

Representative Eli Crane: Tonight, the Uniparty rejected my amendment to defund NED. 81 ‘republicans’ voted with democrats to fund this rogue organization that fuels global censorship and domestic propaganda.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: GAME DAY in Tucson! Team Ciscomani in all of our offices is ready to Bear Down and cheer on @ArizonaMBB as they take on the Sun Devils tonight. Go Cats!!

Representative Abe Hamadeh: “Candidates, in short, are not ‘mere bystanders’ in their own elections,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. For too long, "standing" has been the catch-all excuse for courts to punt on election integrity cases. Today, SCOTUS affirmed candidates' right to challenge state election procedures affecting federal races. It's hard to overstate how big an election integrity win this is.

Representative Greg Stanton: Under @Sec_Noem, @FEMA has repeatedly fallen short due to chaos, incompetence, and mismanagement. President Trump should fire her and put a qualified professional in charge.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: The Iranian people are risking their lives for human rights and freedom. I'm grateful to @virginiafoxx, @RepDeborahRoss, @RepBrianFitz, @jahimes, @RepBice, @RepMikeCarey, and @RepSchneider for joining me in leading Congress to condemn the brutality of the Islamic Republic.
