And so Congress needs to reestablish itself as a co-equal branch of government.
And that's why I will immediately sign on to the discharge petitions that also aim to rein in Trump's authority to unilaterally impose inflation-causing tariffs and other emergency powers.
I think that it's really important that the American people see us fighting for them.
It's not just fighting against Trump.
It's like, what are we fighting for?
And if you look at just the immoral and illegal things that are happening in this administration, the Trump's family's wealth has grown $3 billion since he's taken office.
Why aren't we talking about that?
Yeah, well, right away, I'm going to co-sponsor legislation that addresses the needs of Southern Arizonans, advancing environmental justice for all and respecting tribal sovereignty, lowering costs for working people and investing in affordable housing, reversing the costs to Medicaid and SNAP and protecting social safety nets that our children and seniors rely on, defending public education by restoring federal funding and fighting attempts.
to expand this private voucher scheme and standing up for our immigrant communities against Trump's illegal ICE raids that are ripping families apart, literally around the corner where I get my gas.
There was two people in masks, nondescript clothing, but wearing bulletproof vests, driving around in a car that had no insignia, nothing there.
And
taking a woman out of her car and dragging her so when you see people that um that are you know we don't know what's happening it literally looks like a kidnapping and then we have you know about what 1500 people in alligator alcatraz alone where are they they've just like disappeared and families don't know where um
their, you know, where their family is, who is holding Trump responsible.
And when we think about what this impact has had in the last, let's say this year and what ICE is doing, what are they going to be like next year when they have 20 times the budget?
And that's why it's so important for Congress to take this
this important step to say, we're going to take those emergency powers and executive powers away from Trump.
That, I mean, it is why I believe that our voice, my voice representing so many people here in Southern Arizona is important because I don't know that many people understand what our average working families are going through and what our communities here on the border are experiencing.
I mean, we have the devastation, people, you know, keep talking and
and scapegoating our immigrant communities.
But they are the reason this nation is in the position that we're in.
