I've been campaigning with some great candidates in Texas. Everywhere I go, I’m hearing the same thing: People are sick and tired of this administration’s chaos. They’re sick and tired of paying so much. And they’re sick and tired of candidates like Ken Paxton that don’t seem to care.

I served in Iraq. The free press wasn't our enemy—they reported what was happening on the ground and helped keep us alive. Pete Hegseth can call critical reporting "treason," but that doesn't change the fact that he has no idea how to win this war.

Secretary Mullin keeps telling U.S. citizens they have nothing to worry about. Then his untrained goon squad racially profiles them and leaves them bleeding in the street. It's time to clean house and rebuild from the ground up.

Pete Hegseth has been secretly paying influencers to sell Americans on the war in Iran—the same playbook fascists use on their own people. Hegseth cares more about clicks and looking good on social media than actually delivering for our service members.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 01/09/2026

I spent 10 years on the House Armed Services Committee. We were always planning for the next war. Hegseth is planning for Trump's approval rating. Junior officers are watching and learning the fastest way up isn't merit, it's kissing his ass.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 26/08/2026

Donald Trump could end the war, lower costs, and win your vote. Instead, he's trying to make it harder for people to cast a ballot. I won't stand for it.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 26/08/2026

Trump’s hiding U.S. military casualties because he doesn’t want to be known as someone who lost more troops than Biden. And now he’s trying to take out Stars and Stripes—the one publication that can cut through the lies and give the perspective of service members.

020

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 26/08/2026

When I was in Iraq, I read Stars and Stripes for essential reporting on IEDs and PTSD care. Now Trump is firing their top reporters because they’re holding him accountable for his stupid Iran war.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 25/08/2026

We can't hold our allies at gunpoint and expect them to stay loyal. What Trump doesn't understand is that we need to foster our friendships during the good times so they're by our side during the bad ones.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 25/08/2026

80% of Arizonans vote-by-mail. That's Democrats AND Republicans. Trump knows he's going to lose, so rather than fight for the people he serves, he's trying to undermine our democracy and change who can vote.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 23/08/2026

The kind of corruption we're seeing has real consequences for our working families. None of the Kushners are going to put their asses on the line and get shot at. Regular kids will go fight in Iran while they cash in on another deal with the Qatari investment fund.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 23/08/2026

I know what happens when bad leadership sends young Americans into a war without a clear plan to get out. I lived it in Iraq. We cannot repeat the same mistakes and leave another generation of service members to carry the consequences.

020

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 23/08/2026

I support diplomacy and tools below the threshold of war, but I’m not going to commit American men and women to regime change again. We've tried that in the Middle East. That’s how I lost my best friend in Iraq.

Maybe your boss's stupid war in Iran?

The Trump administration is opening up over a million acres of Arizona’s national forests to logging and road construction. These are our lands, and they aren’t for sale. I’m fighting back.

It's clear the president thinks about our troops as toys to show off his strength, not as humans with families. Trump needs to end the war and bring our service members home. www.npr.org/2026/08/15/n...

Families of USS Lincoln crew say Trump should be 'ashamed' of conditions on board

President Trump said the USS Abraham Lincoln deployment is "not nearly long enough." A family member of a sailor on board that ship said those comments are shameful.

I served in combat. I know how psychologically grueling these missions can be, but the reports from the USS Lincoln are disturbing to a new level. This is exactly what happens when you start a war with no plan or strategy. Utter incompetence.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 13/08/2026

Pete Hegseth claims that what we’re seeing on the USS Abraham Lincoln is an absolute fabrication. I’m talking with a military spouse who's forwarding me her husband’s text messages. They’re pushing our service men and women to the limit.

Iraq taught us a painful lesson: When politicians rush into war with no exit strategy, working-class Americans pay with their lives. And now Trump is circling the drain into another never-ending war.

Trump ran on two promises. Stop the wars. Expose the predators. Instead he dragged us into a dumb, illegal war with Iran and is protecting the pedophiles.

Ruben Gallego @gallegoforarizona.com · 24/07/2026

4 young people just died in Trump’s illegal war, and he struck them from the death toll. They're fudging numbers because they got us into this war and don't know how to get us out. More Americans will die because these guys care more about their ego than our troops' safety.

Billionaires shouldn’t be able to take out 100-year leases or avoid paying taxes. The concentration of capital among the top 1% of this country is becoming a real problem for everyday Americans. We need to have the courage to say the tax system is broken and fix it.

Grateful to have been part of the Latino Vote Summit. My message to my own party was simple: there is no national Democratic Party without the Latino vote. Not every Latino is a liberal. You want our vote, you have to work for it. Meet people where they are, not where you wish they were.

If Latino kids aren’t educated, America isn’t educated. If Latino families can’t build wealth, America is poorer for it. Our fight for opportunity, dignity, and respect is rooted in a simple belief: when Latino communities thrive, our country thrives.

I’m proud to be Latino, and I’m proud to be American. Those identities don’t compete with each other—they strengthen each other. Our culture, our communities, and our contributions continue to make America stronger, more vibrant, and more prosperous. @lulacorg.bsky.social

Could you have thought of all this before engaging in war? 13 US service members are dead, thousands of Iranians dead and billions of our tax dollars wasted. If you were willing to allow some level of enrichment the deal was always there. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Trump's pick to protect federal workers from discrimination once ran a magazine that drew a Jewish student with horns and a pitchfork. I gave him the chance to call it antisemitic. He wouldn't. If you can't name it, you can't be trusted to protect everyone equally.
