Why the hell was a wildfire allowed to burn at the Grand Canyon in the middle of July during one of the driest years on record?
I’m demanding answers and a full investigation from the Department of the Interior.

This is government failure at its worst.
During the deadliest Texas floods in years, FEMA help was delayed because of a policy requiring Kristi Noem’s PERSONAL approval.
We lost 120 lives. 170 people are still missing. I’m demanding a full investigation.
Teamed up with the weather channel and my friend Jim Cantore to remind Arizonans to stay safe this summer.
Stay hydrated, limit time outside, and check in on your elderly friends and neighbors.
BREAKING: Trump’s tomato tax just went into effect.
At a time when families are already struggling to afford groceries, prices on tomato products could spike by up to 50%.
This is a tax on working people, plain and simple.
I’m devastated to hear about the destruction of the historic Grand Canyon Lodge.
My thoughts are with everyone in the affected areas and our firefighters on the front lines.
Please continue to follow evacuation orders and stay alert.
There is zero reason ICE agents should be hiding their faces or identities.
This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear theater.
And now we’re seeing copycat attacks causing more chaos and violence. It needs to stop.

ARIZONA, BUY YOUR TOMATOES NOW!!
In 5 days Trump is slapping a 17% tax on all tomato imports from Mexico.
Groceries are already too expensive. He needs to reverse this decision now.
I put a hold on all of Trump’s VA nominees because of his dangerous plan to cut 80,000 employees.
This is a small win but I’ll keep pushing.
Imagine canceling a subscription as easily as starting it.
Big business wants to stop that.
Tell @FTC: Bring back the rule. #ClickToCancel
Trump said we'd have 90 trade deals by now. We have... maybe two?
Now he’s kicked the can down the road AGAIN.
If you own a business why would you invest in America with this kind of uncertainty?
Heartbreaking scenes coming out of Texas.
My heart goes out to all the families impacted by these deadly flash floods, those still waiting for word on their loved ones, and our heroic first responders.
The entire country is holding Texas close.
There you go. Republicans betrayed working families and will kick millions of people off of their health care. All while Americans continue to struggle with rising prices.

No one in Arizona wants a higher energy bill. Especially in the middle of the summer.
But the Republican budget raises bills by up to $400 a year for families. 10% for businesses.
Everything’s already expensive. This is the last thing we needed.
Congrats to Senate Republicans on passing their disastrous budget.
They just voted to rip Medicaid and food assistance from millions so billionaires can get another yacht.
Hell of a legacy.
Congressional Republicans are trying to pass Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Budget Bill.” It includes massive cuts to the essential programs that millions of Americans rely on.

SHAMEFUL: The Republicans want to gut Medicaid funding for opioid addiction treatment. I fought back with an amendment. They said no.
Battling addiction and rely on Medicaid to stay alive? According to the GOP, you’re on your own.
All to just give billionaires tax cuts…
12 years ago today, we lost 19 heroes to the Yarnell Hill Fire. The Granite Mountain Hotshots gave everything to protect our communities. We’ll never forget their courage, sacrifice, and service to Arizona.
Every Republican voting for this bill knows better. They know these cuts to Medicaid and food assistance will hurt their constituents. They know and they don’t care.
🚨 Republicans are about to try and pass their budget bill.
Just to recap here’s what the bill does.
- Kicks more than 16 million American off healthcare
- Takes food assistance away from about 3 million Americans
- Puts nearly 400,000 jobs at risk
All to give huge tax cuts to billionaires.
