Ruben Gallego, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona's 3rd district since 2015, has been vocal on social media about various issues. His recent tweets highlight his concerns and advocacy efforts.

On March 17, 2025, Gallego expressed strong disapproval of actions he perceives as an attempt to undermine the legacy of the Navajo Code Talkers. He stated, "This is shameful. The Navajo Code Talkers were Marines and heroes who helped this country secure victory in WWII. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. Trump can’t erase their history just because he feels like it."

Later that day, at 22:21 UTC, Gallego extended gratitude towards individuals sharing their experiences, affirming solidarity with them by tweeting, "Thank you for showing up and telling your stories. We’re in this fight with you."

In another tweet posted at 22:54 UTC on the same day, Gallego addressed Spanish-speaking communities urging them to contact their congressional representatives regarding Medicaid cuts. He wrote, "Para la comunidad hispanohablante--por favor llamen a sus congresistas y diles que no recorten Medicaid (también conocido como AHCCCS en Arizona). Trump y los republicanos quieren quitárselo."
