Republicans’ latest tax scheme hands out breaks to billionaires while slashing health care. It would be devastating for Arizona, especially our Native American communities.
I met with Gila River Indian Community Governor @crimpima to talk about the impact & why I’m fighting back.

Behind the scenes of @POTUS’ historic visit to @GRIC_Official today.
I'm joining @SecDebHaaland and Native leaders from across Arizona at @GRIC_Official this morning as @POTUS delivers a long-overdue apology to the survivors and families of the Federal Indian Boarding School era.

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.
It's long overdue.

The Federal Indian Boarding School Era is one of the darkest chapters of American history. The trauma experienced in those institutions haunts our conscience to this very day.
Today, I'm in Arizona to issue a long overdue presidential apology for this era – and speak to how my Administration has worked to invest in Indian Country and our relationships with Tribal Nations, advance Tribal sovereignty and self-determination, respect Native cultures, and protect Indigenous sacred sites.
On my watch, we'll remain committed to ushering in a new era between our government and nation-to-nation relationships – one that is grounded in dignity and respect.
We must remember our full history, even when it's painful. That's what great nations do. And we are a great nation.

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work.
John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

Today @GRIC_Official made history, turning on power to the first solar-over-canal project in the country! This innovative water conservation and green energy project was made possible by funding under our #InflationReductionAct. 💧⚡️☀️

With just 10 days until mail-in ballots arrive in voter mailboxes, I had a great time rallying over 700 friends, supporters and activists last night at the @azdemparty Gabrielle Giffords Gala.

I ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff tomorrow in honor of Officer Briese, who died in the line of duty. Officer Briese will be remembered for his selflessness and bravery, and our thoughts are with his family and the Gila River Police Department during this time of mourning.
