I'm relieved that every passenger aboard FlyDubai 1073 is safe tonight, and I'm praying for the pilot who was seriously wounded in the attack. While we're still learning details, it appears this was a deliberate act of terror to bring down a plane full of civilians on their way to Israel.

Big victory for Arizona: A court just ruled the Trump administration's attack on Solar for All was illegal. Congress created this program to help families get low-cost clean energy and cut their electricity bills. The EPA needs to release these funds now. apnews.com/article/clim...

I took to the House floor to honor George Dean, a pillar of our Arizona community who passed away earlier this month at the age of 88. He built the Phoenix Urban League into one of the Valley's most effective community institutions, making a real difference in countless lives.

Arizona doesn't have to choose between protecting our water and leading in semiconductor manufacturing. I was proud to work with Senator Kelly, @gallego.senate.gov, & @repyassansari.bsky.social to secure $2 million for ASU to develop and test new tech to help chip fabs treat & reuse water at scale.

Making chips takes water. Arizona wants to reuse it
Arizona State University received $2 million in federal funds to continue research on wastewater reuse in the water-intensive semiconductor industry.

25 years ago today, Balbir Singh Sodhi was tragically murdered while planting flowers outside his Mesa gas station — the first victim of a post-9/11 hate crime.

The Supreme Court got this right. No Arizonan should have to wonder whether their ballot will make it through the mail because of a politically motivated rule change 50 days before an election. Voting by mail is safe, secure, and how millions of people make their voices heard.

America just recorded its hottest summer ever, beating the Dust Bowl record from 1936. Despite that, the U.S. still doesn't classify extreme heat as a natural disaster. Extreme heat is deadly, and communities need real relief.

My team had a great evening at Mesa’s Sunset Market this weekend talking with neighbors about how our office can help them access their federal benefits. Need a hand with Social Security, Medicare, or the VA? Visit stanton.house.gov/help or call 833-643-6114 Mon-Fri. We're always happy to help!

85% of Arizonans vote by mail. Trump's mail-in ballot scheme puts our votes at risk. I joined Jake Tapper to discuss what's at stake if the Supreme Court rules Trump’s way.

Always great catching up with the hardworking members of AZ Building & Construction Trades Council — the skilled tradespeople building AZ's future. Together, we’ll keep fighting to protect strong wages, secure local investments, & expand apprenticeships to train the next generation of workers.

This morning I joined the community at the Tempe Healing Field to remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on 9/11. Among them were the brave first responders, firefighters, police officers, pilots, and flight attendants killed protecting others.

It takes courage to ask for help. That's why I voted to pass the 988 Lifeline in 2020 and why I've kept fighting to protect and expand it ever since. Millions of Americans have called or texted the line since 988 launched, and it has saved countless lives.

A profound loss for our state. George Dean led the Greater Phoenix Urban League for more than 30 years with heart and purpose — expanding opportunity, advocating for justice, and lifting up our community.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the women and men who built our country and the labor movement that fought to make sure hard work is rewarded with dignity, fair pay, and a seat at the table. I’ll continue to stand with labor in the important fights ahead.

Gas has never been above $4 a gallon on Labor Day. Sadly, this year it is because of Trump and the MAGA majority in Congress unwilling to stand up to him. Six months into this war of choice in Iran, Trump has no plan or strategy, either to end the war or bring prices down.

Trump is demanding control of mail-in voting 8 weeks before an election. This week, a courageous whistleblower told the truth: Trump’s plan would create a USPS screening system that will likely reject large batches of legitimate ballots.

Trump is threatening the independence of the Federal Reserve again. Keeping politics out of its decisions is a key underpinning of the American economy. If Trump follows through on this, it will not end well. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/b...

Gloria Steinem was an icon and a trailblazer. From co-founding Ms. Magazine to leading the fight for reproductive rights and equal pay, she helped build a movement that changed what was possible for generations of women — and made this country more just and equal for all our daughters.

Thousands of AZ kids are sitting on childcare waitlists right now. Many of those families may struggle to afford the spot even if it opens up. This is a solvable problem. I'm fighting to pass the @newdems.bsky.social Affordability Agenda to expand access to childcare & pre-K to families nationwide.

Kids who go through Head Start are nearly 40% more likely to graduate college than their peers. As a former mayor, I know the positive impact great Head Start programs have in our community. That's how I know how damaging Trump's reforms would be. 🧵1/2

Mayor Corey Woods and the Tempe city council have been incredible partners as we work to expand housing options in the city. Over the last few years, I have delivered millions in federal funding to transform existing buildings into affordable housing and expand access to rental homes and shelters.

Dreamers deserve the same access to a college degree as their neighbors with citizenship. Arizona voters already settled this in 2022 with Prop 308. The Trump administration's lawsuit to revoke their access to in-state tuition is baseless and wrong, and it will be swiftly defeated.

A federal judge struck down this fee already. Rather than work with Congress to modernize our visa program, the administration ignored them & rewrote the plan instead. A six-figure fee will make it harder to bring the world's best engineers to the U.S. and will push them closer to our competitors.

Framing violence against Jewish Americans as something they brought on themselves shifts the blame from the perpetrators onto the very people they want to harm. That's dangerous, and it makes our communities less safe. We must reject antisemitism and intolerance in all its forms.
