Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His dream remains a call to action for all of us to continue the fight for justice, equality, and the right to vote.

The President’s betrayal of NATO is complete with this latest tariff threat. It will only further alienate our allies, drive economic uncertainty, and raise costs. Congress must act, and put a stop this self-destructive madness. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

This week, people from all over California came to the Capitol to talk about food, nutrition, healthcare and a host of other issues. @padilla.senate.gov and I are so grateful to hear from constituents of the Golden State on what we can do to help.

Our servicemembers and their families deserve better than a Congress that lacks the courage to debate the military actions Trump is taking around the globe. With the help of the former isolationist, JD Vance, who cast the tie-breaking vote, Republicans in the Senate abdicated again.

Yet another failed attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate voters and undermine California's free and fair elections. The judge was absolutely right. Neither this president nor any other may “unilaterally usurp the authority over elections.” apnews.com/article/cali...

$2 billion in grants to help stem opioid addiction and address mental health issues cancelled, then swiftly reinstated. Why the flip flop? Because of public outcry. Keep speaking out. Your voice matters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Why doesn’t anyone tell Donald Trump that invading Greenland is a harebrained idea? The simple answer: He has surrounded himself with cowards and sycophants.

This is yet another wake up call to the American people of Donald Trump’s disdain for the Constitution. Time and again, he has made it clear how little he cares for American democracy. people.com/donald-trump...

Donald Trump tried to withhold funding from California and other states on this basis in his first administration and lost. Our state will continue to fight the administration whenever it threatens immigrant communities, or violates the law. apnews.com/article/trum...

Donald Trump is manufacturing and fomenting a crisis to justify another authoritarian overreach into American cities. The Insurrection Act would be the latest in Trump's misuse of our military, and we cannot allow it. apnews.com/article/immi...

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

Personal lawsuits against media companies whose coverage offends the president, abuse of the regulatory process to censor the press, and now execution of warrants against journalists. There has never been a more blatant attack on freedom of the press in our history.

Grocery prices are still going up for American families. And there is nothing in Venezuela or Greenland that is going to change that. How about focusing closer to home?

Trump is clearly ready to turn his illegal use of our military on other countries around the world. The only thing he says can stop him? His “own morality." This, from a man with no ethical compass. The Senate must stop him. youtu.be/DIXSgIVbXa8

Let’s be clear: Targeting Jerome Powell is just the latest escalation of Trump's corrupt weaponization of the government in his pursuit of unfettered power. These actions will only weaken the economy, even as they threaten to chill and silence the president’s critics. Powell is right to speak out.

If the administration believes that risking our servicemembers is worth going into another country for oil, let them come to Congress for a vote. But that is certainly not putting America first.

Horrified by the vile attack on the Beth Israel Congregation, and praying for Jackson, Mississippi’s Jewish community tonight. Across the country, we are seeing a disturbing rise in antisemitic hate speech and violence. 🧵

Natural disasters don't discriminate between party, nor should parties discriminate between disasters when Americans are in need of help. The California delegation, @padilla.senate.gov and I are urging the Trump admin to deliver the federal aid Los Angeles needs to rebuild, and to do it now.

While Americans are struggling to afford health care and groceries, Trump is more concerned about sending $100,000 each to the citizens of Greenland. I guess it's Denmark First now.

If anyone blockaded the U.S., launched a military operation to make an arrest on U.S. soil, let alone seized our natural resources, and killed civilians in the process, we'd consider it an act of war.

I stand with the people of Iran speaking out and risking their lives to demand a better life for themselves and their children. The repressive and dictatorial Iranian regime must end its crackdown on demonstrators. 🧵

Don't let this administration fool you. The real reason behind this meddling in Venezuela is less about drugs than it is about dollars. Oil dollars.

We need full, independent investigations into the shootings at the hands of federal immigration officials that have taken place this week in Minneapolis and Portland. This aggressive deployment of ICE into our communities is resulting in a terrible loss of life. 🧵

Under RFK Jr.'s leadership, the CDC is looking less like an institution that keeps Americans healthy and more like a politically-motivated anti-vax machine. The consequences will be devastating for our kids. youtu.be/H4QhSS2GSkc

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant. We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.

There are no more excuses: The Senate must take up and pass this clean three-year extension of ACA health care tax credits. Americans’ monthly health care premiums have already spiked.

First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs. Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S. In order to create a presidential slush fund. Same corrupt regime in Venezuela. And at home.

The Trump Administration is planning to gut emergency workers and disaster preparation efforts. As we mark one year since some of California’s worst fires, this will make our communities less safe and more prone to repeat disasters.

On the one-year anniversary of the Palisades and Eaton wildfires, I joined @governor.ca.gov and @padilla.senate.gov to hear from fire survivors about their efforts to recover & rebuild. There is so much more that needs to be done to help LA communities come back from these devastating fires.

One year after the devastating Eaton & Palisades fires, we’re still waiting for the White House to release funding that families desperately need to recover. The fight is far from over, but @padilla.senate.gov and I are working everyday to make sure Californians get the assistance they deserve.

Under Trump, we’re witnessing increased, violent confrontations by federal immigration agents that are putting communities at risk, not keeping us safe. We must refuse to accept this as normal. There must be an immediate investigation and accountability.

As our January 6th Committee report showed, many heroic Americans stood up to Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. But the Big Lie did not stop after January 6, and we need to be ready as Trump and his loyalists work again to undermine our free and fair elections.

No one should bemoan the end of Maduro's reign. But Trump's illegal operation is about more than just Venezuela. It's about a President believing he has no limit to his power as Commander in Chief. Congress must say no to this abuse of force.

A few questions among many that Donald Trump avoided today, and the American people deserve an answer to: — What is the Trump Administration’s actual plan to “run” Venezuela? — Will President Trump deploy American troops to Venezuela? If so, how many and at what cost?
- AS
Donald Trump is clear: he launched this war to remove a foreign leader and now he claims the U.S. will “run the country.” In other words, Donald Trump wants the U.S. to be an occupying power and control the oil.

We have to continue to fight this. Donald Trump may want to make oil spills great again, but Californians don’t.

During my first year in office, I have visited nearly half of California’s 58 counties. Wherever I go, I ask the same question: how can I help? It is the honor of a lifetime to serve the Golden State in the Senate. Onto 2026.
