Great turnout at yesterday's town hall in Saddlebrooke! Empowering Arizona's seniors with the knowledge to stay safe from scams will always be one of my top priorities.

On our latest episode, @dananessel.bsky.social and I talk with former U.S. Attorney Barb McQuade about DOJ culture, leadership under pressure, and why institutions must balance legal risk with their own organizational values.

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.

Huge and patriotic crowd today at the AZ state Capitol. One clear message: there are #nokingsinamerica. #NoKings #democracy
We will never surrender to a King, or to tyranny, because Americans still believe in America! Let’s go Arizona! #Nokingsinamerica #NoKings #Arizona

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.

Arizonans who turn to SNAP to feed their families should not have to fear that their personal information will be swept into Trump’s mass surveillance agenda.

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.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

Donald Trump promised to go after drug cartels but his administration is instead wasting law enforcement resources to target migrant workers.

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’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.

It was an honor to join ASU’s PRO/CONversations debate series and model civil discourse for students. Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional right that strengthens our nation, and I’ll keep defending it and the Constitution I swore to uphold.

My criminal division remains laser-focused on prosecuting individuals responsible for the scourge of drugs coming over our Southern border. If you are trafficking drugs through Arizona, you will be found, and you will be held accountable.

Rent is completely unaffordable right now, and this deal between listing giants Zillow and Redfin is going to make things worse. Enough is enough.
