Let’s be blunt: this is taxation without representation.

That’s why, today, alongside Congresswoman-elect Grijalva, we sued the House of Representatives.

Mike Johnson won't swear in Adelita Grijalva. So we're suing.

Arizona's attorney general explains how Johnson is using the newly elected Democrat as a pawn in his shutdown fight, and keeping the Epstein files secret.

Happy to join @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social to discuss Arizona's lawsuit against Speaker Mike Johnson. This is not just a legal battle, it's a fight to ensure representation in Congress to the more than 800,000 Arizona voters who elected Grijalva.

Farmers across the country are hurting and Trump's illegal tariff taxes are making things even worse. Rural economies are in deep trouble because of the President's reckless trade policy.

I'm suing to stop this madness.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse

Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

Last week, I heard directly from residents in Benson about the proposed aluminum recycling plant. It was one of the most powerful town halls I’ve held. Benson residents’ passion for their community is clear, and my office will be taking a close look at this.

Arizona families are already facing sky-high electricity bills, and I will not let the EPA wriggle out of its commitment to fund solar energy projects that would lower costs for more than 11,000 Arizona households.

I'm proud of the work the AGO's Civil Rights Division does every day. From tenants to workers, they directly help Arizonans who need to defend their rights. But justice isn't free- we're asking for a long-term fix to protect justice and civil rights for every Arizonan.

Arizona Agenda @arizonaagenda.bsky.social · 17d

Arizona’s Civil Rights Division has secured big wins for workers and tenants this year — but it’s on the brink of a funding crisis.

Now, the state’s own watchdogs are warning they can’t keep up without help.

The indictment of a sitting Attorney General for spurious charges is, even for the Trump administration, a shocking abuse of power. I stand with Attorney General James and the rule of law. These charges will be thrown out quickly if there’s any justice left in the United States.
