Senator Ruben Gallego, a prominent figure in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 3rd district since 2015, has recently made several statements on social media addressing significant political and social issues. Known for his outspoken views, Gallego took to Twitter to express his stance on a Republican spending bill, criticize remarks made by Elon Musk regarding veterans, and pay tribute to Congressman Grijalva.

On March 13, 2025, Senator Gallego announced his opposition to a Republican spending bill with a clear statement: "I’m voting NO on the Republican spending bill".

Later that day, at 20:53 UTC, he criticized comments attributed to Elon Musk concerning veterans. He tweeted: "Elon is telling our veterans that they don’t matter. That their service meant nothing. We won’t stand for it."

At 21:37 UTC on the same day, Gallego paid homage to Congressman Grijalva in an emotional tweet highlighting Grijalva's impact as a Latino leader in public service: "Congressman Grijalva was not just my colleague, but my friend. As another Latino working in public service, I can say from experience that he served as a role model to many young people across the Grand Canyon State. He spent his life as a voice for equality."
