Nothing is binding about these empty words. Trump can spin this meaningless pledge all he wants, but we need enforceable rules on advanced AI that hold these billionaire executives accountable—before it's too late. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Trump says tech execs signed ‘morally binding’ accord to help police AI
The president floated forming a 10-person committee that he said would play a role in overseeing the artificial intelligence industry.

I joined the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Guadalupe for an Orange Shirt Day gathering to honor the survivors of residential boarding schools and remember the children who were separated from their families and tribes.

I'm incredibly proud to have secured over $2 million in federal investments to create the @arizonastateuni.bsky.social Center for Heat Preparedness. This builds on work I’ve been doing for years—first locally here in Phoenix and now in Congress.

Proud to be among the first supporters of @repcasar.bsky.social’s critical bill to ban superintelligence and pause advanced AI development. Congressional Republicans need to return to work immediately and put this bill up for a vote.

I had the honor of meeting Angélica César, an Arizona native recently honored by CHCI as a Young Alumna. A proud daughter of immigrants, she now serves as a human rights lawyer and Aryeh Neier Fellow at @hrw.org and the @aclu.org, using her voice to fight injustices. #HispanicHeritageMonth

Donald Trump doesn’t care about freedom or democracy for the American people, and he certainly doesn’t care about freedom or democracy for the Iranian people.

Donald Trump and his sons are profiting off of AI related investments. The administration’s refusal to regulate the AI industry—despite dire warnings about potential threats to the safety of Americans—is all part of the corruption story.

Today I joined a delegation of Members of Congress at the United Nations and Climate Week! It was a productive (and nostalgic) day—here’s what’s going on here.

Frontier AI isn't going to care if you're American or if you're Chinese or if you're Russian. This highly capable, advanced technology could be a threat to all humans. That's why I'm calling on President Trump to work with countries like China to set global rules on the development of Frontier AI.

The corruption of Donald Trump's White House is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the United States. It’s cronyism and kleptocracy literally on the scale of Vladimir Putin and other dictatorships. We must hold all of them accountable.

It’s urgent that Democrats and Republicans in Congress unite to pass meaningful regulations on AI. When the engineers and CEOs building this rapidly accelerating technology are warning us of its existential threat to humanity, it would be deeply irresponsible to ignore their expertise.

The House just unanimously approved our Oversight contempt resolution for Leon Blank, one of Jeffrey Epstein's top enablers. Congressional subpoenas are binding, not suggestions. I will continue to do everything possible to hold the perpetrators of these heinous crimes accountable.

Regardless of where you stand on AI, its rapid development comes with risks we can’t afford to ignore. That’s why I’m urging President Trump to lead a global effort to set rules of the road for AI safety.

The Trump Administration wants to decimate Head Start—a program that serves 700,000 children across the country and 17,000 children in Arizona. I refuse to let Donald Trump rip resources from our families as they profit off illegal wars and their private businesses.

Uncontrollable, highly capable frontier AI is a threat to all of us. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican, American or Chinese. We need to set global AI rules, full stop.

@econliberties.bsky.social and I hosted a roundtable with @senanaliseortiz.bsky.social, @annahernandezaz.bsky.social, and housing advocates and experts to discuss the root causes of the housing crisis in Phoenix and policy solutions to lower housing costs.

This is absolutely terrifying. Jacob Coxon and Evan Hubinger, top researchers at Anthropic and formerly OpenAI, said these companies are creating technology that could "kill us all by the end of the decade."

Trump is getting richer while his war of choice, illegal tariffs, and cuts to healthcare have left working Americans worse off. Here’s what’s going on.

On Labor Day, we honor the achievements of American workers in Arizona and throughout America. From securing safer working conditions to establishing the 40-hour work week, union workers have built a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation.

Major AI companies like OpenAI and Claude have publicly disclosed security incidents where their AI platforms broke out from controlled experiments and hacked into the real world. I’m calling on Speaker Johnson to bring in their CEOs and demand answers immediately. The time to act is NOW.

Pete Hegseth is destroying our military and the Department of Defense. He is the most incompetent and corrupt cabinet member in the administration, and his disastrous leadership makes us much less safe and worse off. I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him.

Pierre Damas Bel was supposed to be starting college this week. Instead, the Trump Administration shackled him like a criminal and he ended up taking his own life.

Overcrowding, ignoring medical issues until they require 911 calls, treating human beings like animals—this is life inside a Trump detention center. It’s happening in the middle of downtown Phoenix. Grateful for @azmirror.com's incredible investigative work bringing these horrific stories to light.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social received a shocking whistleblower report from a USPS federal official warning that Trump’s mail-in-vote tracking system is dangerous and capable of causing major disruptions to ballot delivery for millions of American citizens. Let’s break down how this happened.

The Trump “kids” are grown adults and they’ve made billions through their dad’s presidency. They must come before Congress, testify under oath, and answer for their financial self-dealing and any role they played in securing special treatment for the Tate brothers. No one is above accountability.

In typical Trump fashion, it’s all about him. On July 8, 2026, after the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump secretly switched planes—leaving government employees and journalists behind as a decoy. A stunning breach of military ethics and a reckless disregard for the lives of Americans doing their jobs.

From ensuring seniors have access to affordable prescription drugs, to bringing down housing costs, to taking care of our veterans, I'll always prioritize fighting for seniors throughout Arizona.

Every Arizonan deserves affordable, high-quality healthcare. I enjoyed joining the ASU Dialogue Series to discuss the future of healthcare in our state–from expanding access and lowering costs to supporting the research and innovation that save lives.

Absolutely unacceptable. Incompetent Trump officials like Pete Hegseth have repeatedly put American service members in grave danger. And now we know they’re being forced to endure horrific conditions.
