Ruben Gallego, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 3rd district since 2015, has expressed his views on recent political decisions through a series of tweets. Gallego, who previously served in the Arizona House of Representatives and graduated from Harvard University, addressed concerns regarding policies impacting disabled veterans and trade tariffs.

On January 30, 2025, Ruben Gallego highlighted the challenges faced by disabled veterans who rely on remote work for employment. He urged President Trump to consider exceptions for these individuals: "Many disabled veterans rely on remote work to stay employed. Forcing them back to an office without exceptions devalues their service. President Trump must create an exception for those who sacrificed for this country."

The following day, January 31, 2025, Gallego commented on potential economic implications of proposed tariffs by President Trump: "Think your grocery bill is high now? Trump just said he’s going to put a 25% tax on all food and goods from Mexico, here’s what that means." This tweet reflects concerns over the impact such tariffs could have on consumer prices.

Later that same day, he tweeted a brief message directed at the President: "Can we not?? @POTUS" indicating his disapproval or disagreement with unspecified actions or proposals.
