Navy combat veteran and retired NASA astronaut. Husband to @GabbyGiffords.bsky.social. United States Senator for the great state of Arizona.
More strongman moves from a weak President. Good to see these legislators reject the threats of violence and retribution. They stood up to the bully and did what they believed was right. That's how leaders should act in a Democracy.

I’ve been through a lot worse than anything Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth can throw at me. And I'm not backing down, because this isn't about me — it's about you and every American's First Amendment right.

There's a lot you could say about this unhinged, late night rant from the President. But the most reckless part is how easily he throws around the word "seditious" whenever someone says something he doesn't like. It undermines our democracy and puts people in danger.

If you’re a billionaire or one of Trump’s family members, then this economy is great.

For everyone else, prices are up, wages are flat, and families are getting screwed.
POLITICO: I wonder what grade you'd give the economy

TRUMP: A+

POLITICO: A+?

TRUMP: A+++++

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

When Pete Hegseth tweeted he was investigating me, Gabby laughed and laughed.

My town hall is getting started now, and I'll have a lot to say about how we fight back and hold Trump and Washington Republicans accountable.

In 30 minutes, I'll be having a town hall in Tucson to hear directly from folks and talk about how we hold Trump and Washington Republicans accountable. Watch it live here: www.youtube.com/live/FBsTw9B...

It was 24 years ago today that I launched on my first mission to the International Space Station on Space Shuttle Endeavour. Ten years later, I commanded Endeavour's final flight. Time flies!

NASA revealed they found some of the building blocks of life in a sample brought back from an asteroid (on a University of Arizona-led mission, by the way).

It raises some big questions about whether there’s other life somewhere out there in the universe. According to my math, probably.

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.

It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

With rising prices, there’s a lot of folks just trying to make ends meet this holiday season. But the good news is you can help by supporting your local food bank. Help me support the Arizona Food Bank Network by chipping in today:

This is what happens when you have the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.

The one thing Donald Trump has always and will always be afraid of is the truth. And right now, he’s scared.
December 2, 2025 at 3:08 AM
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are not serious people. I won't let them stop me from holding this Administration accountable.

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.

Small Business Saturday is a great time to get out there and visit the businesses in your community! It’s not easy owning a small business right now, so your support goes a long way. If you’re in Tucson like me, check out some places you can visit:

Today on Native American Heritage Day, we honor indigenous cultures whose influence and contributions are evident in communities across the country. Arizona is a special place, and the 22 tribes that call our state home are a big reason for it.

I don’t remember having lobster when I was on the International Space Station! But I guess I never spent a Thanksgiving there either. I know it’s not easy to be away from family, so Happy Thanksgiving to everyone aboard.
'We've even got some lobster': Thanksgiving dinner on the International Space Station will be out of this world for astronauts (video)
If all goes to plan, a new Soyuz astronaut crew will join the ISS in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

Remembering the time @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social and I almost burnt the garage down cooking a turkey. Hopefully today goes better. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Listen to Gabby, there's nothing wrong with buying the pies. Good luck to all the cooks today!
