[Rep. Adelita Grijalva @Rep_Grijalva]

Rape and sexual assault are perpetuated by institutions when violence against women is met with silence or swept under the rug. Whether it’s the seven students at Cornell University or men who abuse their positions of power, when abusers aren’t held accountable and brought to justice, institutions reinforce a system that fails survivors.

Young women and girls shouldn’t have to pay the price for a broken system that enables and ignores this horrific behavior.

[AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes @AZAGMayes]

A MAJOR win for the rule of law at SCOTUS in our case blocking the USPS rule on mail-in ballots. The federal government has no authority to upend how elections are run weeks before voting starts.

100 days until we flip #AZ06.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Great crowd for Governor @KatieHobbs in Phoenix yesterday! Arizonans are fired up and ready for November because they want leaders that will actually fight for them — and Katie is that kind of leader.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I fully condemn the hateful rhetoric, lies, cruel and deliberate misinformation, and threats that my family, my staff, and I have been subjected to since the Iran War began nearly 8 weeks ago. These coordinated attacks and threats have only continued to worsen, most recently after I introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth. This conduct has crossed the line into threats to our physical safety, which we have reported to law enforcement.

Bad actors have tried to smear my family and staff by circulating fake and AI-generated images and flat-out lying that my parents and I are not U.S. citizens. They have pushed xenophobic and sexist attacks and amplified absurd conspiracy theories about my family. They’ve even gone so far as to spread the outright lie that I am somehow tied to the regime. I will say this once and move on: these absurd allegations are entirely false and I denounce them in the strongest terms.

These attacks aren’t about truth; they’re the product of desperation from those trying to distract from a failing, illegal war, rising costs of living, and an administration with no coherent strategy while Americans pay the price at the pump. And while they spread lies, American service members are being put in harm’s way, with real casualties mounting in a war that lacks both justification and direction.

Let me reiterate, once again, that I have been unequivocal in my opposition to the brutal Islamic Republic regime, its repression of women, and its support for terrorism. My record on this issue is longstanding and crystal clear. My family has personally experienced the regime’s brutality. 

It is in part why I am who I am today: A proud American speaking out for human rights and democracy, the rule of law, and, as a U.S. Congresswoman, the safety and security of Americans. It is also why I know the costs of freedom and stand firm against Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s illegal war.

As a public figure, I fully expect public criticism and wholly respect Americans' constitutional First Amendment rights to free speech. I understand the high emotions during such a tenuous time for those who have family in both Iran and the United States. But I will not tolerate direct threats levied against my loved ones and staff who did not sign up for the public spotlight. I also won’t be silent as they are targeted, doxxed, and attacked online. This has not been a good-faith policy debate. It is a coordinated effort to smear, intimidate, and silence, and it will not succeed.

My duty is clear: to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to faithfully serve the people of Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District. It is the honor of my life to represent the people of Arizona in Congress, over 75 percent of whom are deeply opposed to this war. I remain committed to doing so with integrity and transparency.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Congratulations Rep. Analilia Mejia!

I’ve gotten to know Congresswoman Mejia as a true advocate for change; I look forward to working alongside her to deliver the change New Jersey deserves in a time when it’s needed more than ever.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Seeing this news is absolutely heartbreaking. No parent or family should have to experience this kind of loss, and no child should fear or face this kind of violence. As a father, this is gut-wrenching.

[Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries]

Congratulations to Rep.-elect @Analilia_Mejia on her decisive victory tonight!

We look forward to working together to push back against MAGA extremism and address the affordability crisis with the fierce urgency of now.

[AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes @AZAGMayes]

You gave up the fight and wanted to let these companies off the hook easily. But Arizona and 33 other states kept fighting for every American who has been charged too much by this illegal monopoly and we won.

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Texas is better because we had a competitive primary and James Talarico is a stronger candidate for having had such a superstar of an opponent.

Congresswoman Crockett deserves recognition and gratitude for her contributions to not just TX, but to the country. 💐

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

The American experiment was born in Williamsburg, Virginia.

I can’t think of a better place to deliver the Democratic Response to the President’s State of the Union Address.

[Team USA @TeamUSA]

Say hello to your Olympic champions. 🥇

@USFigureSkating wins the first figure skating gold of the #WinterOlympics in the team event.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

It’s not enough that this vile, racist video was deleted. I call on my Republican colleagues to condemn this repulsive behavior and for the White House to explain how such hateful garbage was spread on Trump’s account.

[Taylor Rehmet @TaylorRehmetTX]

This win goes to everyday, working people.

I’ll see you out there!

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

In the Navy, I learned that you have to lead, follow, or get out of the way.

That’s why, on my first day in office, I took immediate executive action to lower costs, protect our kids online, and make Trenton more accountable and effective for the people of New Jersey.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Ghazala Hashmi is a patriot and public servant. She will make a phenomenal Lieutenant Governor.

This is a vile, inexcusable comment. This open Islamophobia is gross and should have no place in America.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

New Jersey, I am honored to serve as your 57th Governor.

Thank you!

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

Ready to serve Virginia.

[Mikie Sherrill @MikieSherrill]

As @DaleCaldwell and I prepare to take office tomorrow, I want to take a moment to thank staff from our transition team for their extraordinary efforts to ensure we are ready to deliver for you on Day One. Let’s get to work, New Jersey!
