Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the

Happy to welcome @USDAForeignAg Undersecretary Alexis Taylor to the great state of Arizona—where the 3 state leaders of @usdaRD, @usdafsa, and @NRCS_AZ are all women *and* where a majority of the farms and ranches are operated by women!! 🩷💪🏽🌵
@USDA Under Secretary Alexis Taylor celebrates the diverse @USDA leadership in Arizona! Diversity in agriculture is not just about inclusivity—it’s about driving innovation, sustainability, & resilience. Stay tuned as we champion diverse voices in farming! #DiversityInAg

BREAKING: Arizona Supreme Court rules that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable

Happy to see the @VP recognizing and appreciating the hard work of the Navajo members of Ironworkers Local 75! Thank you @VP and @POTUS!
Last week, I thanked Navajo members of Ironworkers Local 75 for their work on the construction of semiconductor chips facilities in Arizona. Through the CHIPS and Science Act, President Biden and I are creating jobs and boosting American innovation.
