Trump has tried to interfere in the midterm elections over and over again. It is up to all of us to stand up for our democracy and push back. I break down how you can do your part and move our country forward. youtu.be/Hhnk6EUkpbs

Federal law enforcement weaponized to target political enemies. Taxpayer dollars spent on political ads and monuments to vanity. Pardons for those who can pay, and payouts for those who play along. With each new act of corruption, our democracy moves closer to the brink.

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

Yesterday in New York, ICE agents shot yet another person. This time, while his on 5-year-old child was in the same car. From coast to coast, ICE's brutality continues to traumatize our communities. This administration is using your tax dollars to implement their violent anti-immigrant agenda. 🧵

The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.

A father dropping his daughter off at college. Dozens more Californians separated from their families. This administration is not done pushing their destructive immigration agenda, backed by court-allowed racial profiling, and utilizing ICE agents armed to the teeth by your tax dollars.

A Trump White House energy adviser helped override state law and court orders to restart an old and dormant pipeline on the Central Coast responsible for one of the state’s worst oil spills. Now she’s a top executive for the company that owns the pipeline.

We have never been closer to passing a federal film tax incentive and bringing the movie magic back to America. Nowhere will that be felt more than in the backyard of California’s film and television industry, Los Angeles County.

Ever the lackey, Kash Patel takes his marching orders from the White House, and those orders include trying to investigate and prosecute an imaginary grand conspiracy against the President. Restoring trust in the DOJ and FBI will take years.

The share of production spending by major U.S. studios on movies filmed in the United States has declined from 74% to 42% over the past quarter century. This is why Congress needs to pass my bipartisan film tax incentive proposal with Sen. Tim Scott. We need to act now before it's too late.

The President says the Iran war will end "very soon." How many times have we heard that promise? And if it means attacks on two major American cities in the process, he is not troubled by the cost.

You spoke out, and he backed down. Now let’s see the proof this illegal waste of your taxes is over for good. And that he pays the money back. We don’t want the U.S. taxpayers to be the latest contractors to get stiffed.

The administration is threatening access to historical and irreplaceable records, including closing down one facility in California that is home to countless photos and family heirlooms. Congress must exercise its oversight power to save decades of regional and national history.

I’m proud to lead Congress's first push for a federal film tax credit alongside Senator Tim Scott. Our bill will create thousands of jobs and reassert the United States' leadership in film and TV production. There’s no better partner to have in this fight than Senator Scott.

Film and television production is a proven catalyst for economic development, regional tourism, and job creation. And in order for the U.S. to maintain its standing as a leader in the film and television production industry and spur more American jobs, we need a federal film tax incentive.

The scope of frontier model misalignment is staggering. The past month has exposed how public admissions are just the tip of the iceberg. AI agents have colluded, escaped their sandboxes, hacked other companies, meddled with government portals — and that's just the ones we know about.

How would my proposal with Sen. Scott to create a federal film tax incentive work? ✅Provide a 20% federal, labor-based tax credit to U.S. film and television productions, on top of state credits ✅Ensure additional incentives for rural and disaster impacted areas ✅Uplift independent film productions

We have a rare opportunity to pass a federal film tax incentive and bring movie production back to the U.S. — the best one we've had in decades. The direct and indirect jobs created by investing in this talented workforce will deliver $250 billion in economic activity over the next 7 years.

For months, I’ve been raising the alarm about the loss of staff at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and how it is imperiling their work protecting our wildlife and public lands. In December, 25% of the agency was gone. Now, it’s nearly 40%. But FWS still refuses to address the staffing crisis.

What's something President Trump, Christopher Nolan, and Congressional Democrats and Republicans agree on? Enacting a federal film tax credit to stop the offshoring of film and TV production. I've got a bill with Senator Tim Scott to do just that.
