Tragically, when I first saw the movie “Don’t Look Up” in 2021, it struck a chord with me. I felt viscerally that humans would find ourselves in a comparable place one day - and soon. If you haven’t seen the movie, I’d recommend it. A quick recap: Humans were explicitly warned that a comet that could destroy Earth was heading rapidly toward us. And instead of doing anything to stop it, the president, elected leaders and billionaire CEOs just spewed some bullshit about all the “jobs the comet would create.” The media treated the comet as casual entertainment. The public was split and the entire thing gets politicized. The movie ends with nearly all of human life wiped out. Just about a year ago I had the opportunity to join a bipartisan freshman class breakfast with Sam Altman. I was shocked when he said to us, “in 18 months, I’ll trust artificial superintelligence to run my company better than I can.” I regret I didn’t engage more on this issue immediately. Now here we are - it’s 2026 and engineers at the world’s leading AI companies are telling us that there is a >10% chance that artificial intelligence could kill all humans. They’re not mincing their words in the slightest. Not because of present day AI capabilities, but because it is evolving so exponentially that we could be in a doomsday scenario in a year. One year. This is fucking serious. We need to halt new advanced AI development. We need guardrails, transparency and emergency powers. We need more employees at these companies to speak out publicly, loudly and fearlessly until everyone is forced to listen. We need the media to be covering this 24/7 until elected officials are forced to act. We need the Trump Administration to treat this with the urgency it deserves. We need the ability to shut an AI model off if there’s a credible threat to human life. The list goes on - and we don’t even know what the full list entails because this is all happening so fast. That’s why we need urgent, bipartisan public hearings and committees dedicated to developing and enacting solutions expeditiously. This isn’t partisan. Let’s stop with the bullshit and come together for the sake of our shared humanity. I’m a 34-year-old Democratic Congresswoman, and I’d like to live to see my late 30s. I know my Republican colleagues want the same for themselves and their loved ones. None of us can afford to be complacent about this any longer.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is shaping US foreign policy while simultaneously soliciting billions from the same foreign governments he's negotiating with. It's open, naked, brazen corruption. Kushner will come under oath and testify & accountability will not stop there.

I’m on my way to the Phoenix ICE Field Office to continue demanding transparency and accountability about what’s going on in these holding facilities, especially when it comes to how our friends and neighbors are being treated in federal custody.

Major AI companies like OpenAI and Claude have publicly disclosed security incidents where their AI platforms broke out from controlled experiments and hacked into the real world. I’m calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring in their CEOs and demand answers immediately. The time to act is NOW.

We just walked out on Pam Bondi and her outrageous lies. Here’s what happened.

Pete Hegseth is destroying our military and the Department of Defense. He is the most incompetent and corrupt cabinet member in the administration, and his disastrous leadership makes us much less safe and worse off. I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him.

I’m introducing Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth. Here’s why.

.Senator Mark Kelly and I stopped by Adelita Grijalva’s office. Locked. Speaker Mike Johnson still won’t swear her in because she’d be the 218th signature to release the Epstein files. Arizona deserves representation, not a cover-up.

Donald Trump has been going around the country telling struggling Americans that affordability is a "con job" and a "Democratic scam." Tell that to Arizonans who can't afford groceries or gas because of Trump and his administration's sheer incompetence and stupidity.

I called it a clown show because that’s what it is. It’s appalling to watch Republicans turn an investigation into child sex abuse and trafficking into a political stunt. Chairman Comer and House Republicans are complicit in the most egregious coverup in American history.

I just conducted an unprompted, late night oversight visit at an ICE holding facility at the Mesa Gateway Airport with Rep. Greg Stanton and Rep. Adelita Grijalva. What we saw was shocking and sick. Well over 240 detainees stacked like sardines in cells. People were sick and ICE was refusing medical care. Here’s what happened.

Trump is clearly experiencing severe cognitive decline, and leaders from every political affiliation have recognized this. He’s become a national security threat to the United States. That’s why I’ve joined Rep. Jamie Raskin calling for the 25th Amendment.

I’m the proud daughter of immigrants who fled authoritarianism. In fact, my dad is the most patriotic American I know. It’s devastating to watch the Trump Admin wage a war on immigrant communities across this country. We can’t stand for it, and we will hold them accountable.

My constituents don’t support Trump’s illegal war. Arizona gas prices are already nearing $5/gallon. While this administration spends $2B a day on war, it just ripped away Medicaid and SNAP from millions of Americans. 13 U.S. service members have been killed, and thousands of Marines are now heading to the Middle East—appearing to prepare for boots on the ground. Americans don’t support this. Meanwhile, on day one of this war, the U.S. bombed a children’s school. That’s a war crime. More than 1,200 Iranian civilians have already been killed, and dozens of hospitals, water plants, and oil refineries have been hit—damage that will have catastrophic health impacts for years to come—all after tens of thousands of Iranians were massacred by their own brutal regime. This is just part of what I discussed in this interview with MS NOW. More coming.

ICE just murdered a 26-year-old man in Maine, less than a week after they murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. Tomorrow, I’ll take to the House floor to demand accountability and make the case for abolishing ICE. This state-sanctioned violence must end.

Just left the DOJ where I was looking at unredacted Epstein Files. As always, it’s sickening to read testimony from women who detail years of abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and other billionaires who’ve yet to be prosecuted. We must end this White House cover up.

Pierre Damas Bel was supposed to be starting college this week. Instead, the Trump Administration shackled him like a criminal and he ended up taking his own life. Trump and JD Vance have ripped away legal protections from hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in the U.S, like Pierre, who are contributing to our economy and our society. It’s disgraceful, it’s horrific, and it is a moral catastrophe.

Donald Trump, a victim of political violence himself, just threatened to “hang” Democratic Members of Congress— all who served our country. Every single American, especially elected Republicans, must condemn this horrific incitement of violence immediately.
