I am humbled and honored to continue serving Arizonans in the U.S. Senate. Now let’s get to work.

Trump's obsession with jacking up deportation numbers is letting drugs pour into the country. ICE cut its drug trafficking investigations and seizures by nearly half to focus on meeting Trump’s deportation quotas. That doesn’t make Americans more safe.

Netanyahu needs to take action to stop the continued violence by settlers in the West Bank. Failing to do that and hold the perpetrators responsible only undermines any chance for peace in the region.

One of the most important things my office does is assist Arizonans who are having issues with federal agencies. Whether your problem is with Social Security, the VA, Medicare, or anything else, my office is here to help. Reach out at https://t.co/KQ8wCAJBED.

Trump should be working to bring down your costs, but instead he’s picking fights with our allies and starting trade wars that will raise your bills. Unless you’re a billionaire, Trump doesn’t care about you.

It's a big deal sitting at John McCain’s desk and serving Arizonans in his Senate seat for a Navy guy like me. He's someone I always looked up to and who always fought to make our country and the world a better place by standing up for democracy and freedom.

We’ll be sharing #McCainMemories throughout John McCain Democracy Week.

Our first video is from @senmarkkelly who gave us a behind the scenes look at his desk that belonged to Senator McCain.

“I think about it a lot that John McCain sat at this desk. John McCain was somebody I looked up to from my early days in the United States Navy ... he was a guy that fought for democracy and freedom around the world.”

Let’s be clear about why Trump is trying to restrict mail-in voting. He's trying to make it harder for people to vote.

He thinks it's good for him if the person working two jobs has a hard time voting, or the person who has to travel a long way to vote. The bottom line is that he doesn’t like democracy. Oh, and by the way, you know who seems to always vote by mail…..Donald Trump.

ICE arrested the father of a sailor serving our country aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, making a hard deployment even harder. Again and again, we've seen Trump’s immigration agents going after military families instead of criminals.

This treatment of our servicemembers and their families cannot go on, and I’m fighting to stop it.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

When Luis Manuel Aviles was arrested by immigration authorities, his son was entering his ninth month on the USS Abraham Lincoln with the Navy — a vessel that set a U.S. military record for uninterrupted time at sea, stirring concerns about supply shortages and deteriorating mental health among soldiers. https://t.co/ImyQrc2Ffi

I’m glad to see investments in science and medical research happening right here in Arizona. This new NIH facility in downtown Phoenix will advance diabetes research and keep building on our state’s growing bioscience industry.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Trump said ICE would target criminals, drug dealers, and gang members. Instead, they're going after military spouses, mothers of Marines, and small business owners. Tearing apart and terrorizing these families doesn't make our country safer.

This week, I asked the Federal Highway Administration to tell Arizona what work can proceed on the I-11 project. Whether it’s connecting Phoenix to Las Vegas or improving connectivity in the West Valley and Pinal County, I-11 can bring real benefits to Arizona. That’s why I'm pushing to make sure this important infrastructure project doesn’t lag behind.

Dorie Miller’s bravery at Pearl Harbor is legendary and resulted in him being awarded the Navy Cross. This aircraft carrier shouldn’t be renamed at all, let alone for Donald Trump, who has denigrated servicemembers like Dorie Miller who have paid the ultimate price.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

I’ve spent a lot of time deployed on aircraft carriers. It’s never easy, but what I’m hearing from families of sailors on the Lincoln and other ships is unacceptable. A sailor literally jumped overboard. I’m glad they’re headed home, but Trump and Hegseth need to take this seriously.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

With home prices out of reach for too many Americans, more families are turning to manufactured housing. The ROAD to Housing Act I helped pass cuts red tape to make these homes easier to build and buy.

I’m glad to see @AZAGMayes and this bipartisan coalition fighting to protect our kids from the harms of social media. Kids’ safety has to come first.

A Trump appointee is allowing the Trump family to open a bank tied to one of his crypto scams. While millions of Americans can’t afford food and rent and healthcare, this family is grabbing billions of dollars for themselves.
