“Trump, genuinely, just sucks”

I’ll never stop fighting for a country where everyone can live and love freely. Happy Pride, Phoenix 💖

My family fled authoritarianism to find freedom in the United States.

Now I’m fighting to protect it with millions who know that real power comes from us—the people.

There are #NoKings in America.

Live on @msnbc.com from Phoenix where people showed up to say: no kings, no dictators, and no ICE terrorizing our communities.

This is what democracy looks like and it’s the best of America.

7 million people marched today—the biggest protest in U.S. history. Donald Trump isn’t a strongman. He’s the weakest, most unpopular president we’ve ever had. Don’t let anyone forget it.

Mental health is not an issue that is unique to the United States. Guns are. That’s why our kids are dying.

Minnesota today. Tomorrow, somewhere else. We shouldn’t have to live like this.

The Trump Administration is the most corrupt in American history. Everything that they do is suspect and everything that they do is a distraction from something else.

“Don’t be naive, it can happen here,” my mom warned me growing up. She was right — authoritarianism can take root anywhere, including the United States.

That’s why I’ll never stop fighting for a democracy that works for everyone.

Flagstaff knows the stakes: Trump’s regime is snatching people off the streets, attacking universities and the free press, ripping away health care from millions of Americans, and Eli Crane is cheering it on.

We won’t back down.

Social Security was a Democratic promise to America—and we’ll be relentless in protecting and expanding it.

Authoritarians don’t win by winning votes—they win by changing the rules. What’s happening in #Texas is a full-blown #authoritarian power grab and it’s just the beginning.

Want to win the future? We need an affordability agenda young people believe in.

Standing room only at the @moveon.org Won’t Back Down Tour with @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @jasmineforus.bsky.social in Phoenix. Arizona’s fired up—and we’re just getting started 🔥

Flagstaff showed up to speak out about Trump’s budget impacts, from rural hospital closures to the unprecedented ICE funding that will harm immigrants.

But their Rep, Eli Crane, didn’t.

They spoke to an empty chair—and I was honored to stand in, listen, and bring their voices back to D.C.

Every single Arizona Republican betrayed their constituents.

They gutted healthcare and education to give tax breaks to billionaires.

The road to taking back the House runs through Arizona—and we’re holding these Congressmen accountable.

We’re organizing to win.

Big news! I’m thrilled to have my friend and colleague, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury, joining me at the first stop of our Accountability Summer Town Hall Tour in Scottsdale.

Join us this Saturday to talk about what’s at stake and how we fight back. 💪🏽

🚨Four cities. One week. One mission: Accountability.

AZ Republicans voted for Trump’s bill gutting health care and jobs to give tax breaks to billionaires.

My Accountability Summer Town Hall Tour kicks off July 26 in Scottsdale. Join us at mobilize.us/yassaminforcongress

The Trump regime is ripping health care from 17 million people while funneling billions to ICE and enriching corporate allies.

As the daughter of immigrants who fled authoritarianism, I won’t stop fighting back against the targeting of immigrant families and abuse of power.
July 11, 2025 at 8:11 PM
We have to ensure that Americans know what’s in Trump’s “budget” bill. In Arizona, hundreds of thousands of people will lose health care, food assistance, and jobs.

And then we have to hold the Republicans who voted for it accountable— I’ll be doing just that this summer.
July 8, 2025 at 8:42 PM
Now would be a great time to call your Reps and Senator and tell them to vote NO on the Republican reconciliation bill!
June 5, 2025 at 11:35 PM
Donald Trump gutted nearly every form of independent oversight of the private corporations profiting off migrant detention.

That’s why it’s on us, as Members of Congress, to step up and demand accountability at ICE facilities.

Cozy on my red eye from Phoenix to DC tonight.

Tomorrow I’ll be live on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social + then diving into my first full week on the Education & Workforce Committee.

Goodnight from 30,000 ft 😴

Grateful to Opportunity Arizona for hosting such a powerful town hall tonight.

We heard it all—child care, housing, health care. Concerns about attacks on trans kids and immigrants. Foreign policy, too.

I’m heading back to D.C. tonight ✈️ carrying these stories with me to fuel the fight ahead.

While at the Eloy Detention Center, women shared a story with me of a guard forcing them to walk in the Arizona heat w/out water, yelling at them that “that’s the price of the American dream.”

We can and MUST advocate for the dignity and humanity of all people in facilities across the country.
