Trump’s FTC is probing corporations like Walmart, DoorDash, and JetBlue over how they use your data to charge you more, but not Amazon. Amazon is also one of Trump’s White House ballroom donors. We need to investigate every company engaged in surveillance pricing. Then we need to pass my bill to ban it.

Casa Grande raised @jesusramosjr_ . They’ve had his back from the start, and now he has a championship belt to show for it. Good to meet him at Ramos Boxing Academy and hear how he is giving back to his community. – at Casa Grande, AZ

Sometimes what helps with healing most is a project, the right tools, and people who get it. That’s what Guardian Garage in Peoria, Arizona offers. While I was there, I sat down with military families and veterans to hear what they’re dealing with, from the cost of living to getting the VA benefits they earned. I’m bringing what I heard back to D.C.

Gas, groceries, energy: it all costs more. Diesel now averages around $6.30 a gallon nationwide. The most important thing Trump could do right now to bring prices down? End his stupid war in Iran.

Putin bears the sole responsibility for Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Because of him, tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians are dead or injured, including children. The only thing Steve Witkoff should be calling Putin is a war criminal and an enemy of the United States.
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Big news for Arizona! Chiricahua is now officially America’s 64th national park, and Arizona’s fourth. If you’ve been, you know: it's called the “Wonderland of Rocks” for a reason. Huge volcanic eruptions and years of erosion left behind thousands of towering rock pinnacles in Cochise County, and the views are like nothing else in the country. If you haven't been, now is the time to visit Chiricahua National Park!

First, President Trump blocked bipartisan sanctions on Russia. Now he’s refusing to approve interceptor missiles for Ukraine. Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. America should be on the side of freedom and democracy, not the authoritarian waging a war of aggression on our ally.
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Arizona families work hard for every dollar they earn, but rising gas and grocery prices are eating up their paychecks. I’m fighting to lower costs, but the fastest way to do that is simple: end the war in Iran. – at Phoenix, AZ

Child care should not be a luxury. We need to make high-quality child care as universal as possible so that every parent can afford to work and raise their kids. – at Arizona, USA

Trump is spending billions on an illegal war that nobody asked for. Imagine what that money could do if we funded childcare or healthcare instead. End the war in Iran. Invest in working families.

Thank you to the child care leaders, parents, and providers who joined me at my town hall yesterday. Every story in that room came back to the same two problems: child care costs too much, and there aren’t enough spots for the families who need them. We have to do better for Arizona's kids and families. – at Arizona, USA

On average, Arizona families spend more than $16,000 per year on child care. That’s more than college tuition at ASU. I’m backing a bill to cap the price of child care. We’ve got to get serious about making it easier to be a working parent.

Despicable. This soldier joined the Army to support his family and provide legal status for his wife, who was brought here as a kid. Now ICE is trying to deport her. Our troops put their lives on the line for our country, and Trump is repaying them by ripping their families apart.
A Texas father of four enlisted in the Army in hopes of getting his wife legal-immigration status. When she arrived at a military base to pick up her ID card, ICE was waiting, @NickMiroff and @nancyayoussef report. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Democrats and Republicans passed sanctions to send an unambiguous bipartisan message to Russia: end the war of aggression in Ukraine. By blocking them, Trump is bankrolling Putin’s illegal war. Mr. President, please explain: How does handing our enemy a gift serve our national interests?

Yet another American community is grieving the death of innocent lives after a school shooting. It’s unconscionable that we live in a country where millions of parents hope their kids come home from school alive. We have to do more to protect our communities from gun violence.
A 5-year-old, 8-year-old, 11-year-old and one teacher were killed in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon on Thursday, authorities said in a press conference. Two other victims, a 7-year-old and a 54-year-old teacher were taken to a hospital with injuries. Officers responded to the scene three minutes after a person in a vehicle called 911 to report being shot at multiple times. Moments later, authorities reported that a community member shot and killed the suspect, after seeing them enter the school. cbsn.ws/4ypPyoH

Many Arizona families can’t afford child care. And even when they can, they can’t find a spot. Join me and child care leaders from across Arizona on Monday, Oct. 19 for a town hall on making child care affordable and easier to find. RSVP at the link below. forms.cloud.microsoft/g/cQAJ…

No one should be afraid to walk into their place of worship. We stand with Representative Krishnamoorthi, the people of Aurora, and our Hindu and Indian American communities. Hate and violence of any kind have no place in our country.
My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

As union density has gone down, wages have stalled. Corporations are making record profits while workers are taking home a smaller slice of the economy than ever before. Here’s one way we can rebuild union power and change the direction of the working class. – at Washington, DC

I just interviewed @SenRubenGallego. We discuss the changes coming with AI, his plan to help the middle class survive those changes, the 2026 elections and more. He even gives me his opinion on Elon Musk and Donald Trump at the end. Great discussion.
