Targeting asylum seekers outside courthouses is immoral and unacceptable. It erodes trust, threatens due process, and undermines community safety. I stand with immigrant communities and will keep fighting for justice and dignity for all. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

My friend Sen. @CoryBooker is literally standing up and speaking out—for our safety, our democracy, and our shared decency. These are not normal times, and we need leaders willing to meet the moment. Keep going, Senator. We’re with you.
My friend @CoryBooker joins us this week on Assembly Required to talk about leading with love, standing up for what’s right + making sure people know what we’re fighting for. In times like these, even small acts are important—tune in and let’s get to work: crooked.com/podcast/cory-boo…

23,260 people in Tucson—the largest political rally on record in Arizona. Over 100,000 have now come out to Bernie’s Fighting Oligarchy tour. I’ve never seen this kind of mobilization.

When Republicans call people garbage, suckers and losers, or say certain people shouldn’t have an equal right to vote because they don’t have kids - know that they aren’t talking about “other people.” They are talking about you. They are talking about ALL of us.

JD Vance is attacking immigrants by spreading the fentanyl lie. Let's be clear: Over 90% of fentanyl is trafficked into the US at ports of entry, mostly by US citizens. It is NOT an immigration issue. JD Vance needs to stop scapegoating our migrant communities. #VPDebate2024

That’s right, @Tim_Walz. Abortion care IS a human right. While Trump & Vance try to dictate when, how, & whether we grow our families, we'll keep fighting to ensure everyone in America can access the reproductive care they need and deserve.

Prop. 139, the Arizona Abortion Access Act, ensures patients get the care they need without the dangerous delays or restrictions that risk their health, fertility and lives. It puts medical decisions back where they belong: in the hands of patients and their doctors.

Substance over bluster. Optimism over negativity. And yes, a new generation over the same, old, tired show. She crushed it tonight.

Tonight, Arizonans learned more about who @KamalaHarris is. She is fighting to make our lives better by increasing economic opportunity for all & protecting our freedoms- while Trump, is pushing a dark, backward-looking agenda & is only focused on himself. #HarrisWalz2024
