Trump wants to FIRE 80,000 VA employees so he can give millionaires and billionaires about $70,000 off their taxes.
To be clear, he is firing the nurses and caseworkers who care for our veterans and gifting their salaries to the wealthiest people in the country.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I was raised by four fiercely independent women. Their strength, like that of so many moms, abuelas, teachers, and small business owners inspires us to fight for a more just future for women everywhere.
This isn’t “government efficiency”—it’s government neglect.
The Phoenix BIA office serves over 40 tribes, handling everything from economic development to child social services. I’m demanding answers from the GSA and fighting to keep these offices open.

Be prepared. Here’s what you can do if Elon Musk causes issues with your social security check.
Arizonans, email our team at casework@gallego.senate.gov if you need help.
Is Trump making tariff decisions with a magic 8 ball?
Arizona Business needs certainty.
This kind of chaos is going to drive Mexican businesses to look towards other countries.
Are we seriously going to be taking the money seniors use for housing/food/prescriptions—to SURVIVE—just to give guys like this a massive tax break?
Arizona families depend on Medicaid. For Anthony, it means life-saving treatment and round-the-clock care.
But Republicans would rather hand another tax cut to the ultra wealthy than protect everyday Americans.
The CHIPS Act has created thousands of good paying jobs. Donald Trump wants to get rid of it because he's mad it wasn't his idea.
Estamos trabajando para que las familias y los trabajadores de este país puedan alcanzar el sueño americano--para poder comprar una casa y empezar un negocio.
Trump is lying about Social Security because he’s trying to cut 7,000 of the workers who take care of our seniors.
When Trump said he would bring down prices on day 1, I thought he meant eggs not the stock market.
While Trump plays tough guy, Arizona is paying the price. His reckless trade war is a direct attack on our businesses, farmers, and families.
Thank you for sharing your story Kyle
This is a huge win for Arizona workers and builds on the CHIPS and Science Act I helped pass.
TSMC is investing an additional $100B in our state. That’s what happens when we invest in American manufacturing.
For families like Bridget’s Medicaid is a life saver. But Republicans would rather put lives on the line than deny Elon and his friends another tax cut.
Call your Republican representatives and tell them, NO cuts to Medicaid.
I’ll always welcome support to secure Arizona’s border and stop the flow of fentanyl, but let’s be clear—this is just an expensive Band-Aid for a complex problem.
Border Patrol agents need resources, not troops doing their jobs for them.
Elon Musk said OUT LOUD that Social Security is a ponzi scheme. These people aren’t serious about protecting your benefits.
I am. That’s why I passed the Social Security Fairness Act to make sure teachers, firefighters, and police officers get the benefits they EARNED.
I spent this weekend in Phoenix talking to healthcare organizations about what Republican cuts to Medicaid would mean for Arizona families and providers.
The results would be disastrous. We’re doing everything we can to fight back.
As a Marine, I know that service doesn’t end when you take off the uniform. Grateful to the American Legion for stopping by my office this week to talk about how we can continue fighting for our veterans.
