Kids are getting phones younger and younger, and we’re seeing the consequences in the classroom: more distractions, less learning. As a dad of three young kids, I’m worried.
It’s time to get cell phones out of the classroom. I introduced a bill to get it done.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
On her way out the door, Kristi Noem used taxpayer dollars to buy five planes from a donor.
Just the latest example of blatant government corruption under President Trump.
While you had to pay up, Meta skirted almost $4 billion in taxes last year.
How? By abusing a tax credit tied to its data centers.
It's time to make corporations pay their fair share.
Once rogue AI agents start speaking in their own language, they won't care whether you're America or China. We're all at risk.
Congress needs to take that threat seriously.
There is no kill switch. No failsafe protections.
I asked AI safety experts what happens if things go really bad, really fast.
Their answer should terrify us all.
Americans everywhere are struggling to buy a home. And without the ability to buy a home, many of them can't build wealth.
At today's American Growth Summit, I laid out the changes we need in Washington to give everyone a fair shot at the American dream.
NEW: The Senate just passed our bipartisan bill to extend terrorism risk insurance—a program created after 9/11 to make sure businesses aren’t left without coverage in the event of an attack.
Honored to receive the Marine Corps seal from Brigadier General Shannon M. Brown, who served in Iraq and in some of the hardest battles with me.
It's tradition for each service branch to present a seal to members of Congress. As a Marine, this one is special. Semper Fi.
On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we honor those who gave their lives for our country and hold their loved ones close in our hearts.
We have a sacred obligation to care for our Gold Star mothers and families. I will always fight to ensure they have the resources and support they have earned.
Sydney and I had a great time at the Action for Cancer Awareness Awards Luncheon this week. The @preventcancer.org Foundation's bipartisan Congressional Families Program is about getting people the resources they need to catch cancer early, when it's still treatable. We're proud to be a part of it.
What's Congress doing on AI right now? Nothing.
Everyone's focused on the next election while this technology moves faster than any of us can predict. I’m pushing to get everyone at the table—experts, skeptics, regulators, and government—to rein in this technology. Not later, now.
Today at @concordiasummit.bsky.social, I made the case: AI is moving quickly. Congress needs to move with it to protect America, the world, and humanity.
Wishing all those who observe an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
Great to welcome Black leaders to Washington for Congressional Black Caucus week.
When our Black communities are strong, Arizona is strong—and our entire country is stronger when we move forward together.
Corporations are mining your data to squeeze more money out of you. It’s called surveillance pricing, and I’m working to ban it.
The Supreme Court just rejected the president’s attempt to restrict mail-in voting.
80% of Arizonans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—vote by mail, and Trump can’t change that.
We don’t need to wait on the president to regulate AI. This is why we have different branches of government. Congress needs to bring experts to the table, work across the aisle, and move quickly on guardrails that protect America, the world, and humanity.
AI is advancing faster than our ability to understand its risks. When our national security is on the line, waiting to act isn’t an option.
This administration says their tariffs on Canada will bring back American manufacturing. They won't. Smart industrial policy—like the CHIPS Act—and real cooperation with Canada are what actually build a stronger North American economy that can compete with China.
AI is unlike any technology we've seen before. Once it becomes fully dangerous, it won't care whether you're Chinese or American. We can't afford to wait three years to act, we have to move now to regulate it.
