A whistleblower from the U.S. Postal Service has confirmed what we feared: Trump's mail-ballot verification system is so broken it could lose or reject ballots ahead of the midterms.

We won't stand for this. That's why I'm demanding USPS testify before the Senate. If you try to impede Arizonans from voting, you have answer to us.

Today marks one year since the Trump administration killed 11 people on a boat in the Caribbean Sea—the start of an illegal campaign of extrajudicial killings and government-sanctioned murder.

Since then, there’s been at least 70 strikes in international waters, killing at least 227 people.

The administration claims these strikes are about drug trafficking, but it’s shown little evidence drugs were aboard these boats. The DEA’s found no impact on drug flow into the US, and the commander running the operation told Congress the strikes are "probably not the most effective tool."

These strikes are unconstitutional, immoral, and ineffective, and they’ve put our service members at risk of prosecution for carrying out illegal orders.

The most recent strike was four days ago. A year of killing, and this administration has never once come to Congress to justify any of it. This cannot become the way our country goes to war. The American people are already paying for one war they didn’t want in the first place.

I fought in Iraq. I know what these wars cost, and I know who pays them. I will use every tool I have as a United States senator to stop this and to defend the Constitution.

Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost.

You don’t walk away from an alliance like this. I’ll keep fighting to protect it.

As Trump plunges us into a reckless trade war with Canada, I met with Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade Yasir Naqvi today in Ottawa.

The U.S.–Canada relationship is bigger than any one administration. I’m committed to ensuring the partnership between our two countries endures long after President Trump leaves office.

Every vote counts. That’s why I’m calling on USPS leadership to testify before Congress immediately.

Rural Arizonans deserve access to quality health care close to home.

Investing in residency programs helps bring more doctors to rural communities—and gives them a reason to stay.

The best part of my job is hearing directly from you, and this past Friday in Nogales was a great reminder of that. Thanks to everyone who came out to my town hall. I'll keep showing up for Arizona.

For 70 years, Paul Bond Boots has called Nogales home. Supporting businesses like this means supporting local jobs, local families, and the entire community.

We can afford a dumb war in Iran, but somehow we can’t afford healthcare for every American?

We should be expanding Medicaid and lowering healthcare costs—not taking coverage away from working families.

Carlos Ramirez was just 23 years old. He had his whole life ahead of him, and he chose to spend it in service to his community.

I’m thinking of his family and fellow recruits. Rest easy, Carlos.

TPD recruit Carlos Ramirez, killed in a home invasion, was honored Thursday at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center graduation.
