President Trump’s federal budget cuts mean hardworking Arizonans are at risk of losing their healthcare and food security. All so he can cut taxes for the rich.

Opportunity Arizona @opportunityarizona.bsky.social · 3d

President Trump promised “the golden age of America.” Instead, it’s the opposite: Arizonans spend more on groceries, while Trump gives tax handouts to the rich and corporations. Golden age? For who? Clearly NOT everyday families and hardworking Americans!

Trump and MAGA Republicans would rather you pay HUNDREDS of dollars more for your healthcare so they can give their rich friends tax handouts than fund the government and protect your healthcare.

Since Trump took office, hardworking Arizonans have struggled to make ends meet. Paying more for groceries, gas, electricity, and housing. In that time, Trump has given tax handouts to the rich and corporations, leaving Arizonans to foot the bill.

Today’s the last day of government funding and MAGA Republicans are doing NOTHING to make sure kids, families, and seniors can continue to access affordable health care and thousands of civil servants can continue to get paid while serving their country.

Representative Julie Willoughby is prioritizing the wrong things. While everyday Arizonans struggle to keep up with the cost of groceries, Willoughby voted to raise grocery prices, reduce unemployment insurance, and cut Arizonans' healthcare. 👎

Arizona’s cost of living has surpassed the national average with housing costs being the driving factor. For far too long, corporate landlords have been buying up housing and raising prices, leaving hardworking Arizonans cost-burdened. 👎🏠

Arizona cost of living rises above U.S. average as housing shortage continues, report says

As housing costs put more strain on Arizonans’ budgets, the state’s overall cost of living has risen above the U.S. average for the first time, according to a new report.

Arizonans shouldn't have to choose between buying groceries or medication. In early 2026, many working Arizonans will be able to get discounted prescription medication through ArrayRx.

Thanks Gov. Hobbs for working to lower the cost of prescription meds!

Hobbs pursues drug discount card program as alternative to price caps | Arizona Capitol Times

Unable to get traction on her 2024 controversial plan to cap drug prices, Gov. Katie Hobbs is pursuing an alternate approach: a state-issued discount card.

The heat is no joke and neither are your tenant rights. As a tenant, you have a right to a healthy and safe home and that means a working A/C unit. If your landlord fails to fix your A/C, make sure to file a consumer complaint: www.azag.gov/consumer

Regardless of race, gender, income, or zip code, everyone deserves a dignified living, reliable services, and a fair economy—but Trump, Musk, and their billionaire buddies are destroying livelihoods, gutting public resources, and driving up costs just to pad their own pockets.

Thank you AG Mayes for putting everyday people first and tackling Trump's tariffs! This comes at a time when existing tariffs are already costing people more money and if more tariffs are enacted, Arizonans and small businesses will struggle to make ends meet.

Opportunity Arizona @opportunityarizona.bsky.social · Apr 14

We joined lawmakers and everyday Arizonans to ask the legislature to prioritize the needs of working people—not the rich and big corporations. It's time lawmakers put people over profits by investing more in affordable housing, healthcare, and education.

Opportunity Arizona @opportunityarizona.bsky.social · Apr 6

We joined thousands of Arizonans yesterday to protest the unconstitutional actions of Musk and Trump. We will not stand for attacks to our healthcare, tax cuts for billionaires, and tariffs that hike prices for working Arizonans. #handsoff2025
