AI companies are making a fortune right now. Working people can't get left behind. My plan is simple: tax AI companies and data centers, then use that money to put Americans to work in a New Deal-style public service jobs program. We did it before, and we can do it again.

Anyone who works hard enough, saves enough, and plays by the rules should be able to build wealth for their family, buy a car, a house, or a big-ass truck. The American dream. But right now, hard work isn't cutting it. And as elected officials, it’s our job to change that.

This means a handful of Trump’s billionaire buddies will control huge parts of the media. The next president needs to break up all the mergers approved under this administration. Big business has to understand there are consequences when they team up with corrupt government.

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.

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.

@gallego.senate.govSep 30, 2026, 8:58 PM

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.

My time in the Marines taught me that terrorism doesn’t just take lives the moment it strikes. It leaves behind communities that must rebuild in its aftermath. Speaker Johnson needs to bring the House back from its vacation and send this bill to the president's desk.

@gallego.senate.govSep 29, 2026, 3:41 PM

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.

@gallego.senate.govSep 22, 2026, 11:37 PM

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.
