Despite multiple court rulings, the Trump administration is holding SNAP funding hostage cruelly and illegally. Yesterday, we asked the Court to compel the federal government to pay full benefits. Learn more at www.azag.gov/press-releas....

Always great to meet with our public school leaders to hear about the great work they are doing and they challenges their schools face. I'll always stand alongside them and their students and teachers.

The Trump administration should stop holding 900,000 Arizonan's food benefits hostage during the month of Thanksgiving. I'm proud to be fighting alongside 25 other states to ensure Arizonans can access their food benefits.

Today, the Supreme Court seemed very skeptical of Trump's tariffs. Glad to have been joined by my colleagues, @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for oral arguments on this critically important case.

Oregon Attorney General: Trump's Solicitor General looked Justice Roberts squarely in the eyes and said the American people, not foreign countries, are going to pay 30 to 80% of these tariffs. And then he had the gall to say that these are not taxes on the American people

I've heard from business owners and families all across Arizona who are struggling because of Trump's illegal tariff taxes. We're fighting to end them because hard working Arizonans need relief from Trump's disastrous economy.

Trump’s taxes are raising costs on all of us. And if a President is allowed to illegally implement tariffs on a whim, without input from our elected representatives—we do not have free market capitalism—we have a mafia state.

I heard from Sun City West residents last week about how rising utility rates are hurting their community. Arizona families are already paying sky-high electricity bills, and that’s why I’m fighting APS’s outrageous rate hike.

Let’s be blunt: this is taxation without representation.

That’s why, today, alongside Congresswoman-elect Grijalva, we sued the House of Representatives.

Mike Johnson won't swear in Adelita Grijalva. So we're suing.
Arizona's attorney general explains how Johnson is using the newly elected Democrat as a pawn in his shutdown fight, and keeping the Epstein files secret.

Farmers across the country are hurting and Trump's illegal tariff taxes are making things even worse. Rural economies are in deep trouble because of the President's reckless trade policy.
