DPete Hegseth is blocking promotions and firing generals, especially women and people of color, and it’s costing us some of our most experienced and qualified servicemembers. That makes our country less safe. https://t.co/7uh0iRqU7R
Thanks to everyone who came out to our LD4 House Party! Arizonans are tired of the do-nothing politicians and want real fighters like @Aaron4Arizona, @TammyCaputi, and @KarenGreshamAZ. We have to elect them and flip the state legislature this November. https://t.co/D3pjKFjSHm
Trump comes to Arizona and insults our governor. Someone in Bullhead City should remind the President that he's a corrupt felon who's driving up the cost of everything while @KatieHobbs is a hardworking, honest and effective public servant who puts Arizona and the country first.
Early voting has already started in Arizona! Whether you’re voting by mail or in person, don’t wait to get it done. This election is too important to leave to the last minute. Make your plan to vote right now at https://t.co/sttPWEW1dJ.
This just in: Trump's economy is failing American families. His war, tariffs, and big corporate tax breaks mean costs are up and you're the one paying the price.
Every kid deserves a good public education. From kindergarten to college, public schools changed my life. Every kid deserves that shot regardless of their zip code or their parents’ income. That’s why Republicans’ national school voucher program is a bad idea. It drains resources from schools and benefits the wealthy. I'm fighting to stop it so we can keep improving our public schools.
Trump has made more stock trades than all members of Congress combined since he was sworn in. I’ve made zero, and that’s the way it should be. https://t.co/vxPj9xo5kg
This weekend, Trump announced Ukraine and Russia agreed to an “energy ceasefire,” which has turned out to be completely false. Neither side agreed to anything, and Russia attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again. He’s making up fake ceasefires because he wants Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries. Those strikes have been having a real impact in the war, and stopping them is a gift to Putin. It’s important to understand that any shortage of diesel fuel is because of Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran without understanding that they would shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which is perhaps one of the biggest geopolitical blunders in modern history. Instead of admitting that and trying to solve the problem he created, Trump is trying to put the blame on a country that’s literally fighting for its survival against Russia. Siding with Putin and Russia seems to be a mainstay of this presidency. Even his supporters are piling on with Elon Musk tweeting that Zelenskyy has gone “too far.” Whose side are they on? Regardless, the Ukrainians are making progress, and if things continue to go well, it’s a real possibility that Putin could be pressured to accept a deal that maintains Ukrainian sovereignty. Anyone who supports the Russians in this conflict will find themselves on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of America’s interests. Trump, Elon, etc. should try to avoid being this century’s Neville Chamberlain.
For 251 years, the U.S. Navy has been defending this country, its people, its values, and its promises. As a Navy combat veteran with 25 years of service, this day means a lot to me. To everyone who has served: fair winds and following seas. https://t.co/rQzAMrBjYJ
Winning New Hampshire is how Democrats take back the Senate. As a small business owner, @chrispappasnh has stood with workers his whole career, fighting for folks who just want fair pay and a voice on the job. That's exactly who we need more of in Washington. https://t.co/inLiKKeEvg
Happy 251st birthday to the U.S. Navy. Generations of sailors have kept our country safe, and joining the Navy was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was an honor to serve for 25 years and retire as a CAPTAIN. https://t.co/TDV7JMYJDI
Whether or not we revive American shipping and shipbuilding will have long-lasting impacts for our economic and national security. We can't leave it to chance. My SHIPS for America Act tackles this head on to revitalize our country's maritime industry. https://t.co/PlxJ0OKWe4
“A pilot still needs to be able to complete the mission when the automation fails. Tomorrow’s warfighters must be able to recognize when an AI system is giving them bad information and know how to continue the mission without it.” This week, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly published an op-ed in The Washington Times emphasizing the need to keep human judgment and accountability at the center of the military’s growing use of AI. Drawing on his experience as a Navy combat pilot and astronaut, Kelly highlighted legislation he introduced to ensure servicemembers can recognize when AI systems fail, continue operating without them, and maintain human oversight of critical military decisions. Kelly introduced the Ultimate Human Responsibility in Defense Systems Actand the Warfighter AI Readiness and Preparedness (WARP) Actin June. Click here to read the full op-ed. See key excerpts below: On recognizing AI as a tool and understanding its limitations Artificial intelligence is already changing warfare. […] But after 25 years in the Navy as a combat and test pilot and 15 years as an astronaut, I know having the most advanced technology doesn’t guarantee success. Technology is a tool. What matters is whether our people know how to use it, understand its limitations and can still accomplish the mission when it fails. On introducing the Warfighter AI Readiness and Preparedness Act While we need to have the most capable systems, we can’t lose sight of these two principles: our service members must be able to fight when technology fails, and human judgment and responsibility must be at the center of decisions about the use of force. So first, we need the Department of Defense to assess how reliance on AI affects readiness, identify the skills most impacted by AI and determine how service members keep the judgment they need when those systems are unavailable or compromised. That’s the idea behind my bipartisan Warfighter AI Readiness and Preparedness (WARP) Act, that I introduced with Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. On introducing the Ultimate Human Responsibility in Defense Systems Act Tomorrow’s warfighters must be able to recognize when an AI system is giving them bad information and know how to continue the mission without it. Because while AI can assist human judgment, it cannot replace human responsibility, including for the use of force. For that reason, we also need a permanent requirement for human judgment and accountability when autonomous weapons and AI systems are involved in the use of force, which is part of my Ultimate Human Responsibility in Defense Systems Act. On the opportunity to maintain America’s military superiority Our goal should be a military in which AI allows a service member to understand the battlefield faster, make better decisions and accomplish missions that would otherwise be impossible while still possessing the training, experience and judgment to recognize when technology is wrong and take control. The countries that figure out that balance will have a major advantage. That edge is ours for the taking.

Arizona is home to 22 tribal nations, and Native communities are an important part of what makes our state so unique. On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate their rich histories, cultures, and contributions to Arizona and honor the generations who have called this land home.
Folks want leaders who will stand up for working families and fight the corruption taking over Washington, and that's exactly what Michigan Democrats are running to do. From Mt. Pleasant to Saginaw to Detroit, people are fired up and ready to win in 22 days. https://t.co/d8Tjdep4rB
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! Arizona is home to 22 tribal nations whose cultures, histories, and contributions have made the state what it is today. Representing them in the U.S. Senate is a great honor and responsibility.
I think most people know not to trust everything you see on TV, but if you’ve ever wondered what ABC’s 9-1-1 got right and very very wrong about space travel, watch me get into it with @RealDoctorMike. https://t.co/ah095zcMln
Any single individual having this amount of influence in our elections does not lead to a healthy democracy. It doesn’t matter if they are supporting Democrats or Republicans. We need a serious effort at campaign finance reform and have to overturn the Citizens United decision. https://t.co/QxWpI2zrXE
Chiricahua National Monument is about to become Chiricahua National Park. After years of pushing, I’m proud this is finally heading to be signed into law. It’s going to create jobs, grow our state’s economy and help preserve one of the most special places in the world. https://t.co/4MWvmW9LMY

Thanks to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and other tribal members who joined us in Mt. Pleasant. If we elect @AbdulElSayed and hold this seat, we’ll be one step closer to ending the corruption in Washington and holding this President accountable. Let’s get it done! https://t.co/MVQ4ld3NXh
The United States maritime industry isn’t what it used to be, and that’s a huge problem for our economic and national security. It’s why @SenToddYoung and I are working to get our SHIPS for America Act passed. https://t.co/voLbJOp4pE
So what happened to the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act? The entire goal was to choke off Putin’s money for the war by punishing countries who were evading the sanctions and buying Russian oil. Does that mean we’re sanctioning ourselves now? Whose side is Trump on?
U.S. researchers found that Mars’ ice is cleaner than we thought, which could help us understand the planet’s climate history and whether it could have once supported life. Stuff like this is why planetary science matters. https://t.co/pxUcMGrkIj
