In Phoenix today to hear from food truck and small business owners. Fuel, food, supplies. Prices are up across the board and it's squeezing Arizonans. I'm focused on bringing down costs, because it shouldn't be so hard to run a business and get ahead.

Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong.

This is how Arizonans reacted in real time when President Trump said we were "winning." They're not buying it!

Our senator @SenMarkKelly doesn’t scare easily @realDonaldTrump. He sees right through your lies!

After nearly a year, Kelly Yu is free and back with her family. She never should’ve spent a day in ICE detention. Instead of focusing on dangerous criminals, this administration is locking up people like Kelly, a mom, job creator, and member of our community.

Kristi Noem is in Arizona today, but don’t get that confused with her doing her job. Under her leadership, ICE is creating chaos and making people less safe — including in Phoenix. She should be fired so the agency can be overhauled to enforce our laws without getting Americans hurt.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis and really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones that have implemented these policies, these people need to go."

Trump says “inflation is stopped” and “prices are down.” But Arizona families know that’s not true. Costs are still rising. People don’t need lies. They need solutions.

Any signs of red sulpher-smelling smoke yet? @Garrett_Archer

NEW: The DNC is launching When We Count, our largest-ever voter registration effort aimed at closing the voter registration gap by training young Democrats to register new voters in districts across the country.

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation. He said that the U.S. will “run the country” until a proper transition can take place and went right into how US oil companies will benefit from this takeover. He doesn’t understand the risks and costs involved with these poorly thought-out decisions that don’t make Americans any safer today than they were yesterday. Nicolas Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator who deserves to face justice. I want the people of Venezuela to be free to choose their own future, but if we learned anything from the Iraq war, it’s that dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability or make Americans safer. More often, it leads to chaos or drags the US into a war and lengthy occupation. I don’t trust that this administration has a plan, timeline, or price tag for what comes next. Over the past year, Trump’s foreign policy has been reckless, chaotic, self-serving, and unconstitutional. Congress should vote this week to reassert its authority on behalf of the American people before he oversteps again.  I also want to recognize the professionalism and skill of the American service members involved in this operation. While I don’t agree with the administration’s justification for this, I’m thankful that no service members were killed or seriously injured.

Well, that was awfully quick.

Thank you to the people of Southern Arizona and Congressional District 7.

The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe

If Washington Republicans think I'm not going to fight for Nevadans' health care, then they don't know me.

Our team is monitoring reports of a shooting at the Dallas ICE office. I’m immensely grateful to the first responders who jumped to action. As we await further details, I’m praying for the victims and their families. This kind of violence has no place in our democracy.
