Senator Mark Kelly: Where are the free speech absolutists now that Trump's DOJ tried to charge me and my colleagues for saying something they didn't like? If there was ever a time for them to stand up to this Administration, this is it.
Senator Ruben Gallego: We must protect our elections at all costs. If that means shutting down the country, so be it.
Representative Andy Biggs: HUGE. The House just passed the SAVE America Act to safeguard our elections.
Representative Paul Gosar: Requiring proof of citizenship 2 register & a photo ID 2 vote is common sense. If U need valid ID 2 buy a 6 pack of beer or cigs, board a plane, shop at Costco, or join a gym, U should absolutely need it 2 vote. The idea that voting should have fewer safeguards than everyday transactions is absurd.
Representative Eli Crane: BREAKING – The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE America Act. This legislation strengthens election integrity by requiring voter ID. Urge your senators to exhaust all options, including a talking filibuster, to get this across the finish line.
Representative Juan Ciscomani: Great to meet with Cochise College and President Dr. Perey to discuss how we’re strengthening workforce pathways right here in Southern Arizona. Community colleges play a critical role in preparing students for in-demand careers, and I’m proud to lead efforts like the CONSTRUCTS Act, which expands training capacity at community colleges for careers such as residential construction. Investing in skills training means investing in our workforce, our economy, and our future.
Representative David Schweikert: Last year tax collections were up 10%. Washington still borrowed $2.34 trillion, roughly $74,000 a second. We are now borrowing more than the entire defense and domestic budget combined. Step one: crash health-care costs with technology instead of more borrowing.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh and his Republican colleagues just took another HUGE step toward securing America's elections by advancing the SAVE America Act. This bill provides the following common-sense election integrity safeguards: • Photo ID required to vote • In-person proof of citizenship for voter registration • Removal of non-citizens from voter rolls The @SenateGOP should now prioritize this bill and the SAVE Act's immediate passage.
Representative Greg Stanton: Six of my Republican colleagues joined with Democrats to cancel Trump's illegal tariffs on Canada. Next up? Rescinding the tariffs on Mexico and from "Liberation Day" to lower costs for every American.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: When Trump assigns @SecRubio to other federal roles, he blurs the line between oversight and those being overseen—compromising agency independence. Today, I introduced a bill to prohibit senior federal officials from carrying out the duties of multiple federal positions.
Representative Adelita Grijalva: No community should be denied representation because of political games by the Speaker of the House. That’s why I introduced the No Delay in Representation Act.
