My mom and grandmother both had breast cancer. The Tyrer-Cuzick risk assessment test helped my friend @oliviamunn catch her breast cancer early and beat it, so we teamed up to make sure more women get their risk assessed so they can get the care they need. This November, we’ll be introducing the Know Your Risk Act to do just that.

💬 26🔁 27❤ 106Oct 28, 2026

Visited @GESD32’s Southwest Early College Academy in San Luis. I had the best time with students and seeing the high-quality public education they’re receiving. This place is becoming a math powerhouse, and it’s setting up these young people to succeed at whatever they put their minds to.

If you’re having trouble with a federal agency, my office can help. From VA benefits and Social Security to Medicare and passports, we've helped thousands of Arizonans get what they're owed. That's what our team is here for. https://t.co/49mPo9Qq45

💬 36🔁 25❤ 115Oct 27, 2026

The companies that stand to profit the most from AI should invest in American workers. My Make AI Work for Americans Act makes that happen. https://t.co/s5CK8NkqDK

💬 57🔁 7❤ 47Oct 26, 2026

Suspending the federal gas and diesel tax will lower costs to save money at the pump. I've introduced legislation to do just that. It's one quick step Washington can take to relieve some of the burden Americans are facing.

💬 125🔁 67❤ 342Oct 26, 2026

Another consequence of Trump’s Iran war? School transportation budgets are being stretched thin because of rising diesel prices. Everyone is paying the price for this misguided war. https://t.co/meJGdOP6r3

💬 187🔁 138❤ 415Oct 25, 2026

Restricting Ukraine's access to Starshield hands Russia an advantage. I'm working with Republicans and Democrats to demand the Administration fix this and keep it from happening again. Decisions this consequential shouldn't be left to the whims of a private company. @SenThomTillis @SenatorSlotkin @RepBrianFitz @RepMarcyKaptur @RepMikeQuigley @RepJimCosta @RepJimmyPanetta

💬 1,133🔁 1,633❤ 8,401Oct 23, 2026

Prices are way too high and families are struggling. That’s because of Trump’s tariffs and his Iran war. @RepChrisPappas and I have a plan to suspend the federal tax on gas, diesel, and airline fuel to put more money in your pockets. https://t.co/CmNf7YWeZw

💬 862🔁 108❤ 460Oct 22, 2026

Young people are doing everything right, and still falling behind. Can't afford rent. Can't afford health care. Can't save for a home. In the richest country in the world, that's not acceptable. I'm fighting to lower costs on housing, health care, gas, and groceries because this generation deserves a fair shot.

💬 666🔁 184❤ 857Oct 22, 2026

This is voter intimidation, plain and simple. Don't let anyone tell you this is about election security. It's about scaring eligible Americans from exercising their right to vote, and it’s not going to work.

How these are counted

Attendance is the share of roll calls held while the member was in office on which they voted Yea, Nay or Present. A party-line vote is a roll call on which a majority of Republicans voted against a majority of Democrats. Voting with the Democratic majority is the share of the member’s cast votes on those roll calls that matched that majority. The roll calls come from Voteview, which compiles each vote from the official record; Votewiser does the counting.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 907 of the Senate’s 915 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (8): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. Nominations are their own issue. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with. The Senate roll calls come from Voteview; Votewiser does the counting.
