Senator Mark Kelly: Threatening to target power plants and other non-military targets is not strength. If those words become orders to destroy civilian infrastructure with no valid military purpose, it’s hard to see how they would not violate the laws of armed conflict. America leads best with strength, discipline, and professionalism. Illegal orders to make civilians suffer would be a black mark on our military and our country.

Senator Ruben Gallego: These are families who raised sons and daughters willing to put on the uniform and risk everything for America. And now they’re repaid with fear and intimidation at one of the proudest moments of their lives just so Stephen Miller can hit a stupid quota.

Representative Andy Biggs: I was honored to join Mesa Council Councilwoman Dorean Taylor on a recent tour of Mission Palms Post Acute to learn more about their services and join their Ensign Flag celebration.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: In Sun City West, Arizona, the Palo Verde Patriotic Quilt Club handcrafts beautiful patriotic quilts to honor our nation's combat veterans. Last week, club members visited Congressman Hamadeh’s office to present these heartfelt works of art to the Congressman and District Director @joshualyons_az. Both were deeply moved by this thoughtful tribute.

Representative Greg Stanton: Last year, the Trump administration killed a @DeptVetAffairs program that helped veterans make their mortgage payments and keep a roof over their heads. As a result, over 10,000 veterans have lost their homes and 90,000 more are heading toward foreclosure. We should be making it easier for veterans to stay in their homes, not harder.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Trump is escalating a devastating, illegal war, threatening massive war crimes and targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran. In the last 48 hours alone, the rhetoric has crossed every line. Pete Hegseth is complicit. I’ve called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: A sitting U.S. president is openly threatening to commit war crimes in broad daylight. Bombing civilian infrastructure is not “tough” - it’s illegal. We cannot tolerate or normalize this.
