- From expanding access to healthcare to leading our country out of economic crisis, @BarackObama's presidency is a hopeful reminder to all of us that change is possible. It was an honor to celebrate that legacy with Gabby at the Obama Presidential Library opening in Chicago today.So much joy and hope today in Chicago! The Obama Presidential Center is a testament to the belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. It was an honor to celebrate this historic moment and the enduring legacy of hope, service, and civic engagement that President
- When I was 30 years old in the Navy, I could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood for my family. Now, buying a home feels out of reach for millions of Americans. That’s why I’m working to stop Wall Street from buying up houses and squeezing families out of the market.
- Sally Ride was a brilliant, courageous physicist who paved the way for every woman astronaut. In honor of the anniversary of her first launch, we recognize her legacy and the doors she opened for women in science — and especially at NASA.
00:00 - Arizonans are working hard, paying their taxes, and playing by the rules. Trump is using the presidency to line his own pockets and pay off his friends. That's not what this office is for. We can’t pretend otherwise, and I'm not going to look the other way.
- With tariffs and rising costs creating real uncertainty, it means something to see Kris’ Fresh Frybread still looking out for their neighbors. Local businesses like this, and the people behind them, are why I'm proud to call Arizona home. And the fry bread is worth every bite.
00:00 - The rules of our economy are written by people who benefit from them. When CEOs make hundreds of times what their workers do and still get a tax cut, that's the result of decades of policy decisions that tilted the playing field. I'm here to fix it.
- Today marks 14 years of DACA. Thousands of Arizona DACA recipients are still living in limbo — and this Administration is making it worse by slow-rolling renewals. These young people deserve a pathway to citizenship, and I won’t stop fighting until they get one.
00:00 - It’s a problem when data centers are being built without any input from the people that live nearby. I’m working to make sure communities and data center companies are both involved in the decision making process, and that residents aren’t footing the bill for big companies.
- Every Flag Day, I think about what our flag means to me. I carried it on my shoulder for decades — in the Navy and at NASA. The flag belongs to all of us, and that’s what today is about.
00:00 - Your electric bill keeps climbing, all while Trump blocks clean energy projects we need to meet demand. And you're always the one left holding the bill. That needs to change.

My statement on reported FBI raid of Ohio Voting Rights Organization:
- Working families need fighters in Washington to stand up for them. @ChrisCoonsforDE is one of those fighters — always working to lower costs, create jobs, and keep our families safe.Delaware and our country face big challenges. Families are feeling the squeeze when they go to the grocery store, plan for their kids’ future, and look ahead to retirement. Today, I’m officially announcing my reelection campaign because the job’s not done.
