Ruben Gallego, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 3rd district, recently took to social media to address pressing issues concerning community health centers in Arizona and to express gratitude for notable service within the community. On February 5, 2025, Gallego shared his insights and concerns through a series of tweets.

In a tweet posted on February 5, 2025, at 17:15 UTC, Gallego discussed his meeting with community health centers across Arizona that are affected by what he describes as "Trump’s chaos cuts." He highlighted the ongoing challenges these centers face in accessing necessary funds to serve their patients. Gallego stated emphatically that this situation is "unacceptable" and "illegal," promising further investigation into the matter. "I just met with community health centers from across Arizona who are feeling the effects of Trump’s chaos cuts. Some still can't access funds to serve their patients. It’s unacceptable, it's illegal, and we're getting to the bottom of it."

Later that day at 18:07 UTC, Gallego reiterated his concerns about the impact of these financial reductions on healthcare services in another tweet. He emphasized the urgency of obtaining answers regarding these cuts' effects on people's care."Trump’s chaos cuts directly impact people’s care. We need answers now."

He acknowledged Whstewartsr's contributions ranging from advocating for Martin Luther King Jr. Day recognition in Arizona to supporting veterans and addressing homelessness issues."Thank you, @Whstewartsr for your lifetime of service to your congregation and community. From pushing for MLK Day recognition in AZ to advocating for veterans and the unhoused, your work will leave a lasting mark on our state."
