Today, I join Armenians around the world in celebrating the 35th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Armenia. Time and time again history has proven that Armenians are survivors in the face of unthinkable genocide and tragedy.

College students should never have to worry about where their next meal will come from or have to drop out because they can’t afford food and tuition. Today, I’m introducing commonsense legislation to address student hunger and strengthen higher education.

Did you know that California is the largest producer of organic agriculture? The Organic Trade Association knows it, and it was great to catch up with these amazing farmers and discuss how we can expand organic farming and ensure they can earn a good living.

As the administration continues its dangerous and illegal effort to seek access to federal workers’ health records, @markwarner.bsky.social and I are once again fighting to end this clear violation of privacy.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.

If the President can't put his name on it, he is willing to close it or destroy it. He cares more about branding our institutions than preserving them. Congress allocated $257 million to repair the Kennedy Center. It should insist that work be done properly.

Whether it's the use of data to track patients traveling for reproductive care or its abuse by ICE officials to conduct searches without warrants, the improper use of Flock camera data is dangerous and creating an uproar.

Opening our National Parks to private developers is a red line we cannot cross. I’m fighting to protect Yosemite and put an end to the administration’s brazen efforts to put profit above one of our most iconic parks.

Later today, the Senate Agriculture Committee will again vote on a Farm Bill that falls short for California families. We need a bipartisan farm bill. Badly. But this isn’t bipartisan and doesn’t meet the needs of our people.

Thousand-year-old glaciers are melting away in the Himalayas. Hundred-year storms are becoming routine. The realities of climate change are undeniable. When will Congress finally acknowledge the devastation and do something about it?

Nonpartisan budget experts confirm: the cost of Trump’s illegal war is nearly $40 billion — and that comes straight out of taxpayer’s pockets. This war, that no American voted for, continues to take a toll, both on our servicemembers and our wallet.

In the first Trump administration, the Trump family bent over backwards to deny any connections to Russia. To the point of covering up meetings in Trump Tower or discussions with the Russian Ambassador. Now, the Russians are literally funding their extravagance.

Without regulations over one of the largest sources of emissions in our country, the health of millions will be on the line and the risk of natural disasters like wildfires will keep increasing. 🧵

If Democrats take the majority, it's not enough for us to go back to the status quo before Trump came into office. We need to have a bold agenda like Medicare for All that will dramatically reduce costs and improve the lives of Americans.

The administration and DHS make no effort to hide their obvious bigotry, casting suspicion on millions of Americans based on their background and appearance, in this case, the Sikh community. DHS’s grotesque advertising campaign is hateful, disgraceful, and un-American.

Workers are the backbone of our economy, but the American Dream is out of reach for too many. On Labor Day, we celebrate all that the labor movement and unions have done to protect the rights and dignity of America's workers. We can't rest until every American has a fair shot to get ahead.

This campaign season, we’ve seen an onslaught of political advertising made possible by AI and the growing influencer economy. As the line between fact and fiction is increasingly blurred, current law has not kept pace with the changing landscape of technology-empowered political speech.

As a result of Trump’s tariffs and war, American families are spending $3,500 more per year on the cost of food, gas and medicine. Meanwhile... Trump and his family have made more than $4 BILLION off the presidency. That's the cost of corruption.

I've represented Burbank and Hollywood for over two decades in the House, and now in the Senate. I love the film industry and the work they do. And I'm intently focused on enacting a federal film tax incentive to bring back the jobs we've lost and to protect the exciting work this industry does.

Today marks one year since the administration began its unauthorized and unconstitutional boat strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific — killing over 200 people. One thing is clear: this military campaign, which continues with the latest strikes just last week, remains illegal and ineffective.

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

As students return to school this fall, the Dept. Of Education’s abrupt and unlawful cuts to funds approved by a bipartisan Congress have stretched mental health staff and resources thin. They must disburse these funds immediately to ensure students have access to essential health services.

Today marks six months of the Iran War. Six months with no strategy and no end in sight. Six months of higher costs across the board. Six months of our servicemembers being away from their families. Six months and 18 service members killed. We must end this war and bring our troops home.

The DOJ wants to shield Trump’s communications with others from Congressional oversight. Why? To insulate Trump and his corrupt acts from any accountability if the majority changes. I'm leading an effort to stop this latest abuse of power. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The supine Supreme Court majority again abets Trump’s efforts to interfere with the upcoming midterm election. Another precedent-breaking validation of right-wing attacks on equal access to the ballot. Such is the undeniable legacy of the Roberts Court. www.cnn.com/2026/08/24/p...

While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice. More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions. And you get higher taxes and higher costs.

Canada is one of our closest allies and friends. Not our enemy. And the President’s self-defeating tariff wars will only raise our prices, and further drive Canada away. Probably irreparably. Time to stop this insanity. www.ft.com/content/e3b5...

This conduct by ICE is unconscionable. ICE should know they cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. Instead of complying with the law, ICE agents chose to threaten violence against a law firm because of whom they represent. We intend to investigate this incident.
