Two of @FLOTUS' #SOTU guests are from Arizona! Paul Sarzoza is a small business owner who plans to hire 150-200 new employees thanks to the CHIPS Act. Lynette Bonar is a member of the Navajo Nation and former sergeant & army medic. I’m looking forward to seeing them tonight! — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll join @mitchellreports at 11:30 AM ET to discuss tonight’s State of the Union. Be sure to tune in! #sotu2023 — PolitiTweet.org

30 years ago, the Family and Medical Leave Act was signed into law, taking a huge step forward in labor rights. BUT: We are still one of the only developed nations not to guarantee PAID leave. Every worker in Arizona deserves paid leave, and I’m going to keep fighting for it. — PolitiTweet.org

We are a month into Kevin McCarthy's Extreme MAGA Majority and the House of Representatives has done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of Arizonans. No action on inflation. No action on guns. Just political stunts and billionaire tax cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The GOP wants to cut social security and send seniors into poverty in order to fund handouts for their billionaire friends. It's been 83 years since the first Social Security check was issued, and I'll keep working to protect the benefits you PAID FOR, for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

The job market has once again shattered all expectations, adding another 517,000 jobs in January. We are now experiencing the lowest unemployment rate since 1969. That's what happens when you have @POTUS and @HouseDemocrats working #ForThePeople. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

See everyone on @RealTimers tonight! — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Happy to vote today to denounce socialism. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I hope my Republican colleagues join me in getting to work on real issues Arizonans care about. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Glad to announce today that I have been reappointed to serve on the House Armed Services Committee. As the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, I'm proud to keep fighting for Arizona's servicemembers and their families. 🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

May this month be a reminder of the hard-fought progress of our past, but also a reminder of the critical work that lies ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

As we continue building a stronger, fairer future for our children and grandchildren, I am proud to be part of the most diverse House Democratic Caucus in history, led by the soon-to-be first Black Speaker of the House, Hakeem Jeffries. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

These goals are achievable, but only if we have the courage to stand on our principles, and if necessary, abolish the filibuster to get these bills passed. My position remains crystal clear: Black lives and Black rights are worth far more than a Jim Crow-era legislative tool. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

We must oppose these efforts at voter suppression, and instead work to protect and expand the sacred right to vote at the federal level, including through the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

At the same time, state legislatures across our nation, including in Arizona, are waging a sinister battle against voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The scourge of systemic inequality in policing remains, though I remain hopeful that Congress will take action through the framework we set out in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Just last week, we saw with open eyes the killing of Tyre Nichols in another disturbing case of police violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Unfortunately, while we would prefer to spend this month reflecting on the progress from our past, the injustices and inequities of the present are as disturbing as ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Every Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the leadership, advocacy, and storied courage that the Black community has brought to our nation’s history and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, seniors on Medicare spent a BILLION dollars out-of-pocket for insulin. That's insane, and it's why I voted for the Inflation Reduction Act which capped monthly insulin costs at $35 for Medicare recipients. Next up, we should be capping insulin costs for EVERYONE. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Every economic report that comes out points to a strong job market & GDP growth. Thanks to our work in the House, the U.S economy weathered a global pandemic and Putin's invasion. That's what happens when you value people over portfolio managers. — PolitiTweet.org

.@GabbyGiffords is an inspiration to all of us, and the work being done through @GiffordsCourage is bringing us closer to ending gun violence, inch by inch. Gabby's courage, perseverance and fight is like no other; we are lucky to have her leading this movement. — PolitiTweet.org

As we grieve yet another death of a Black man in police custody, we must commit ourselves to the work of reforming our policing and criminal justice system, and holding those sworn to protect to the highest standards of conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The murder of Tyre Nichols is a painful reminder that we are still far away from a public safety system that lives up to its promise of justice. Tyre should be alive today, and I am praying for his family in this period of incomprehensible grief and anger. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a moment to remember and mourn the millions lost in the Holocaust.   We all have a moral obligation to speak up against all forms of hate, including antisemitism.   Silence and indifference costs lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Extremists in the GOP want Arizonans to pay a 30% sales tax on EVERYTHING, raising the cost of living for working families. We should work to LOWER costs, not raise them. — PolitiTweet.org

The Tongass National Forest is the lungs of our country—its health is critical if we want to breathe clean air. For the last 5 years, I’ve led the charge to keep the forest alive, and I’m excited the @forestservice is protecting it from road building and logging. — PolitiTweet.org
