Americans everywhere are struggling to buy a home. And without the ability to buy a home, many of them can't build wealth. At today's American Growth Summit, I laid out the changes we need in Washington to give everyone a fair shot at the American dream.

NEW: The Senate just passed our bipartisan bill to extend terrorism risk insurance—a program created after 9/11 to make sure businesses aren’t left without coverage in the event of an attack.

Honored to receive the Marine Corps seal from Brigadier General Shannon M. Brown, who served in Iraq and in some of the hardest battles with me. It's tradition for each service branch to present a seal to members of Congress. As a Marine, this one is special. Semper Fi.

On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we honor those who gave their lives for our country and hold their loved ones close in our hearts. We have a sacred obligation to care for our Gold Star mothers and families. I will always fight to ensure they have the resources and support they have earned.

Sydney and I had a great time at the Action for Cancer Awareness Awards Luncheon this week. The @preventcancer.org Foundation's bipartisan Congressional Families Program is about getting people the resources they need to catch cancer early, when it's still treatable. We're proud to be a part of it.

What's Congress doing on AI right now? Nothing. Everyone's focused on the next election while this technology moves faster than any of us can predict. I’m pushing to get everyone at the table—experts, skeptics, regulators, and government—to rein in this technology. Not later, now.

5184

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 23/09/2026

Today at @concordiasummit.bsky.social, I made the case: AI is moving quickly. Congress needs to move with it to protect America, the world, and humanity.

Wishing all those who observe an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Great to welcome Black leaders to Washington for Congressional Black Caucus week. When our Black communities are strong, Arizona is strong—and our entire country is stronger when we move forward together.

Corporations are mining your data to squeeze more money out of you. It’s called surveillance pricing, and I’m working to ban it.

The Supreme Court just rejected the president’s attempt to restrict mail-in voting. 80% of Arizonans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—vote by mail, and Trump can’t change that.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 15/09/2026

We don’t need to wait on the president to regulate AI. This is why we have different branches of government. Congress needs to bring experts to the table, work across the aisle, and move quickly on guardrails that protect America, the world, and humanity.

87017

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 15/09/2026

AI is advancing faster than our ability to understand its risks. When our national security is on the line, waiting to act isn’t an option.

This administration says their tariffs on Canada will bring back American manufacturing. They won't. Smart industrial policy—like the CHIPS Act—and real cooperation with Canada are what actually build a stronger North American economy that can compete with China.

5468

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 13/09/2026

AI is unlike any technology we've seen before. Once it becomes fully dangerous, it won't care whether you're Chinese or American. We can't afford to wait three years to act, we have to move now to regulate it.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 13/09/2026

I spend a lot of time at Section 60 in Arlington, visiting friends I lost in Iraq. Now Trump wants an ugly arch within view of that sacred ground. This isn't about liking the guy. It's January 6th. It's the DOJ. It's putting his name on the Kennedy Center. None of it earns a monument.

U.S. diesel prices have topped $6 a gallon for the first time ever. The trucks that deliver your food run on diesel. Just about everything you buy at the grocery store is about to get more expensive. Our country can’t afford another endless war.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 11/09/2026

Today we pause to honor those we lost on September 11, 2001, and the heroic men and women who ran toward danger to save lives.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 08/09/2026

Protecting the Department of Education has to be a priority. So does slashing federal funding for vouchers, increasing teacher pay, tackling student absenteeism, and building out workforce training programs. How do we afford it? Let's start by eliminating Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 08/09/2026

I grew up poor, but I was lucky enough to get a good education, make it to Harvard, and become a U.S. Senator. Every kid deserves that same fair shot. That’s what I'm fighting for: a public school system that works no matter who you are or where you’re born. Let's get to work.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 02/09/2026

A whistleblower from the U.S. Postal Service has confirmed what we feared: Trump's mail-ballot verification system is so broken it could lose or reject ballots ahead of the midterms. So, I'm demanding USPS testify before the Senate. If you try to impede Arizonans from voting, you have answer to us.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 01/09/2026

Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost. You don't walk away from an alliance like this. I'll keep fighting to protect it.

As Trump plunges us into a reckless trade war with Canada, I met with Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade Yasir Naqvi today in Ottawa.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 31/08/2026

The best part of my job is hearing directly from you, and this past Friday in Nogales was a great reminder of that. Thanks to everyone who came out to my town hall. I'll keep showing up for Arizona.

12225

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 31/08/2026

For 70 years, Paul Bond Boots has called Nogales home. Supporting businesses like this means supporting local jobs, local families, and the entire community.

1263

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 28/08/2026

We’re 6 months into a war that’s achieved nothing. 18 of our men and women in uniform have been killed, and the cost-of-living is crushing American families. It's time to end this stupid war and bring our service members home.

64316

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 26/08/2026

The most important part of my job is hearing directly from you. That's why I'll be in Nogales for a town hall this Friday to discuss immigration, delays in DACA renewals, trade-related challenges and inflation, and pathways to greater economic mobility in Santa Cruz County. I hope you'll join me.

This outcome speaks for itself. Big Tech companies like Meta are purposely harming our kids. That's why I introduced a bill requiring parental permission before kids under 16 join social media. Time to put an end to Big Tech making billions at the expense of our kids' well-being.

110 years of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Happy birthday National Park Service! (P.S. Thanks to my Veterans in Parks Act, veterans and Gold Star families can visit any national park for free, so get exploring!)

Trump just moved to gut Head Start, and Arizona families will feel it along with families across the country. For an administration that calls itself "pro-family," this is about as anti-family as it gets. We need to do everything in our power to fight back.

13913

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 24/08/2026

Latino men feel a deep responsibility to provide for and protect their families. We need to make sure they have the support to be good fathers, husbands, partners, business owners, and community leaders—while also valuing and empowering the Latinas in our lives.

7328

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 23/08/2026

As Trump moves to gut Head Start—a program thousands of Arizona's working families rely on—I met with parents and providers to hear what's happening on the ground. Head Start has given kids a fair shot since 1965. I’m fighting to make sure it’s still here for the next generation.

$1 billion in tariff refunds to boost Target’s profits. $0 for you. That money should go back into your hands, not corporate bank accounts.

My commitment: make sure no part of Arizona is forgotten.

The biggest housing bill in over 30 years is now law. And it includes a key provision of mine that cuts red tape to build more housing, faster, and lower costs. Growing up, I didn’t always have a bed. But I always had a place to call home. I'm working to make sure every family can say the same.

New Housing Law Boosts Prospects for Factory-Built Homes

Supporters are cheering a new federal housing law that should make it easier and cheaper to build modular and manufactured homes.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 19/08/2026

NEW: I’m introducing a bill to ban cell phones in the classroom. Technology is an important part of our kids’ lives, and it’s not going away. But we can’t let it get in the way of their learning. Let's get it done.

6235

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 18/08/2026

Great to meet with students and faculty at Eastern Arizona College as they kick off the semester. We talked about public service, life in the Senate, and how to build opportunity right here in rural Arizona.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 17/08/2026

Stopped by the Safford Fire Department to thank some of our firefighters. As extreme heat and dry conditions increase the risk of wildfire, I’m working to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to keep Arizonans safe.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 15/08/2026

Because of Trump's cuts to Medicaid, rural healthcare centers in places like Graham County are at risk of closing. Republicans are making people sicker and poorer to give tax cuts to the rich.

As a Marine who’s seen active duty, I can't imagine not having a sense of when I'd be able to go home. I'm calling for an immediate investigation into these alarming reports. In the meantime, here's a resource for our service members: www.health.mil/Military-Hea...

Social media is poisoning our kids’ developing minds. When unsupervised online, they can be exposed to explicit material, recruited by drug or sex traffickers, or cyber bullied. Meanwhile, Big Tech is profiting off of that very screen time. It’s time we set a federal policy to protect our children.

5265

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 31/07/2026

Half of American parents are going into debt just to send their kids back to school. That's not normal. That's a cost of living crisis. I'm fighting every day to lower costs for Arizona families so back to school doesn't mean back to debt.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 30/07/2026

There’s no national coalition, no vibrant democracy, without Latinos. When they try to make us feel hopeless or drive us into the shadows, we fight back. We organize, we register, and we bring our people to the polling booth. ¡Muchas gracias, @weareunidosus.bsky.social! ¡Seguimos adelante!

Trump is trying to restrict vote-by-mail, but he doesn't call the shots. Arizonans — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents — have decided they want to vote-by-mail, so we're going to continue to vote-by-mail.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 27/07/2026

Kids are on these apps for hours and it's showing. Grades slipping, confidence shot. These platforms mine kids for data and don't care what it costs their mental health. My bill says if you're under 16, you need your parent's permission to create an account. We have to protect our kids.
