A disgrace.

Reminder that it’s been over a month since Trump’s Justice Department was legally obligated to release all of the Epstein files. They’ve still failed to do so, and every day they wait is another day victims don’t get accountability.

From flying in combat to commanding the space shuttle, teamwork was the only way to accomplish the mission. That same approach guides my work in the Senate: bring people together, focus on the facts, and get results for Americans, rather than getting bogged down in partisan BS.

Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who reminded us that progress isn’t inevitable — it’s a choice. A choice to stand up for justice, protect dignity, and make our country more just and equitable for all.

I just want to thank @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, and I hope we all will for his courage, for his perseverance, and for continuing to speak truth to power, even when threatened by the authorities who want to silence him.

It was great to hear from so many veterans yesterday in Georgia. These folks sacrificed so much for our country and they deserve a government that has their back. My friend @ossoff.bsky.social understands that, and it’s why we need to keep him in the Senate to continue fighting for our vets.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling.

I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

In every Arizona town, there is a diner, a barbershop, or other small business fighting to keep their doors open as costs keep climbing. Rising rents, health care premiums that squeeze both owners and employees, and tariffs that drive up what they pay for supplies — they all add up.

When you’ve finished paying your bills and are wondering where the heck all your money went, remember that Donald Trump’s signature achievement last year was a giant tax cut for rich people. That’s who he’s fighting for — not working Americans.

Washington politicians love to talk about what a good idea it is to ban stock trading in Congress, but then keep doing it.

Here's my message to them: You don’t need to wait for it to be banned. Stop trading right now.

I don’t trade stocks because it’s the right thing to do.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out.

Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Gabe Zimmerman was my dear friend and dedicated Outreach Director. He was shot and killed while staffing our Congress on Your Corner event 15 years ago.

Today, Mark and I visited the Gabe Zimmerman Trail in his honor. We miss you, Gabe. We carry you with us every step of the way.

My family knows what it means to get knocked down and stand back up. From combat missions to Gabby’s long recovery after being shot, we’ve learned that resilience is not about pretending things are easy — it's about doing the right thing even when they're not.

Having a safe, affordable place to live should not feel out of reach for hardworking families. When rent hikes and mortgage payments outpace paychecks year after year, it is a sign that our housing market works better for corporations than for American families.

Even after 15 years, Gabby's strength never ceases to amaze me. After everything she's overcome, she inspires me every single day.

Fifteen years ago today, a gunman opened fire while my wife Gabby Giffords met with constituents outside a Tucson grocery store. Six people were killed. Thirteen others were injured – including Gabby. That day changed everything for my family and our community.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.
January 6, 2026 at 10:27 PM
I'm never backing down. I'm going to continue holding this Administration accountable because I won't let them intimidate me or any American out of speaking their mind.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

With Maduro in custody the big questions are what now and what are the consequences? Trump made it clear this is about oil and that the U.S. will “run” Venezuela. I worry he has no idea the implications of this operation and that puts Americans and our national security at risk.

Growing up the son of two cops, I remember what it was like watching my mom have to figure out which bills to pay.

I know what families are up against right now, and that’s why I’m focused on bringing down costs and making life affordable again for working class folks.
January 2, 2026 at 8:25 PM
Families need predictability to budget. Our economy needs stability to grow. Our democracy depends on trust to persevere. Donald Trump brought chaos into every one of these spaces, and Americans are the ones paying the price.
January 2, 2026 at 4:09 PM
In 2026, Americans deserve leadership that’s focused on results.
