Through coffee, brands, events, and experiences, Pablo has spent years helping shape Phoenix’s culture and creating meaningful connections within our community. #HispanicHeritageMonth

To keep celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, I stopped by SadBoy Studio in Downtown Phoenix, founded by Pablo, a Phoenix native and son of Mexican immigrants. Fun fact: Pablo is also the artist behind my evil eye tattoo! 🧿

These agents are wearing disguises and masks, randomly shooting innocent people. They even posed as electricians in Phoenix last month to arrest a man in his own home. There's no end to ICE's cruelty and cowardice. We need to abolish and prosecute this rogue agency.

ICE is completely and utterly out of control. Agents wildly shot at Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in Austin, Texas last month and just last night at Oscar Belgal in New York City — while a 5-year-old was sitting in the back seat of Oscar's car.

I’m proud to lead the effort alongside @bennet.senate.gov to make the oil and gas industry clean up its own mess. Our bill would ensure oil and gas companies pay to clean up the wells they abandon.

Orphaned wells threaten our water, wildlife, and air, and are leaving Americans to foot the bill for the damage that oil and gas executives leave behind.

Congratulations for welcoming your beautiful bundle of joy! Your bravery inspires me and women around the world. I know that you'll continue to stand up fearlessly to the Trump regime despite their baseless attacks against you.

The only way we stop the Trump Administration, hold them accountable for the crimes they have committed and protect our environment, is to fight back with those who are willing to take bold action and treat the climate crisis as the dire threat it is.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Addressing the climate crisis is my life’s work and I believe it is the defining issue of our time. I was honored to join @briangarciaaz.bsky.social and local climate advocates for the No Denying Climate Change town hall in Phoenix.

I stand proudly with the LGBTQI+ community here and abroad and will continue to fight for their right to live openly, freely, and without fear, anywhere and everywhere. Thank you @titus.house.gov, @hrc.org, @ppfa.org, and @globalequality.bsky.social for supporting and helping lead this effort.

I led 65 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in urging Secretary Rubio to confront Turkish President Erdogan and the Turkish government over its escalating campaign of repression against LGBTQI+ people, human rights organizations, and advocates.

I urge President Trump to take this threat seriously and take real action. It’s also imperative the U.S. lead negotiations with China to develop global rules of the road on AI.

This is an unacceptable position from President Trump and will end in catastrophe. It is the government’s job to regulate industry — especially frontier AI that has the capacity to harm human beings at a massive scale.

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.

This gathering was a reminder that healing cannot happen by forgetting, but by listening to survivors, elders, families, and tribal leaders. Beyond grateful for the opportunity to learn and stand in solidarity with the Pascua Yaqui community.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
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.

This Center is ready to tackle our extreme heat challenges. It will work on research and solutions that connect the dots between heat, water, energy, public health, and infrastructure—and then turn that research into practical solutions for all Arizonans.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I fought for this investment because Arizonans know that extreme heat is dangerous. We see it in our neighborhoods, in our hospitals and emergency rooms, and our power grid. We see it affecting people who work outside, older adults, families, and people experiencing homelessness.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
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.

Congress needs to take charge in regulating dangerous frontier AI tech which could be catastrophic for humanity without guardrails. Nothing is more important.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
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.

Even after his passing, Al’s legacy lives on in those whose lives he changed and through his family who keep the boxing gym running on Grand Avenue.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
The Rodriguez Boxing Gym not only provides free boxing training for all communities in the Valley, but it also serves as a sanctuary for young people to be mentored and get a second chance when life got tough.

It was an honor to present Al Rodriguez’s family with a Congressional Record for his dedicated service to generations of young people throughout Phoenix. #HispanicHeritageMonth

In Congress, I’ll continue fighting to expand a clean, affordable public transportation system for our community.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Valley Metro is an important part of the Phoenix metropolitan area by helping residents get where they need to go—safely, affordably and reliably. I'm proud to have secured more than $1 million in federal funding for their Community Safety Project.

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.

The work of American Legion Post 41 reminds us that supporting our veterans is not merely an obligation, it is a reflection of our nation’s highest ideals.

Built brick by brick by its founders, in the Grant Park barrio of South Phoenix, this post has served as more than just a gathering place for veterans and their families. It is a beacon for Phoenix’s civil rights activism and is a living tribute to the legacy of its members.

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.

Further, the U.S. must lead negotiations with China to establish a global framework on this issue. Donald Trump has an opportunity to do tremendous good here. Again—we’ve done it before and we can do it again. International cooperation is in all of our best interests.

Just as we regulate pharmaceutical drugs, nuclear weapons, airplanes and so much more, we must regulate frontier AI before there are catastrophic consequences.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @repyassansari.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
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.

I'm grateful to the American Economic Liberties Project for their hard work exposing the policies that have enabled large corporations to hoard land and homes. We must continue to make housing policy decisions that open the American Dream to more Phoenicians.

I heard from community members who shared their stories about the impacts of investor-owned housing and the severe lack of attainable homeownership for those in the middle and working classes.
