Californians might soon be paying $7 a gallon thanks to the war with Iran. Big Oil? They're making nearly $7 billion in profits. While oil companies rake it in at the pump, you're getting hosed.

Catalina is full of breathtaking nature, scenic views, and a population that cares deeply about its island. Appreciated the opportunity to discuss the environment, and the health care, water, and power needs of residents.

With summer vacations looming and monthly budgets straining, Republicans in Congress just unveiled their latest budget. Their grand plan? $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol $1 billion for Trump's gold-plated ballroom And $0 for your bottom line. I wish I was kidding.

I’m working hard to bring back resources and funding for Joshua Basin Water District to support their ongoing efforts to remove hexavalent chromium from the water and improve water quality.

Extraordinarily rich? Nope. But that is a good description of the Trump donors your department grants a pardon.

The President’s campaign of fear and intimidation continues. As if he has not done enough already to turn the lives of election workers in Fulton County upside down. What will it take to get Republican lawmakers in Congress to speak out before no one is willing to work at polling places?

Got to visit one of Joshua Basin Water District's well sites, which provides millions of gallons of drinking water to the region. I will continue fighting for the funding we need to ensure good clean drinking water for generations to come.

California is proving that state tax credits are an effective tool to bring jobs and production back to the Golden State. Another reason why I'm fighting to create a federal film incentive to help promote American film production across the U.S.

The lessons we’ve taken from Star Wars matter today more than ever. But one stands out to me: Hope is like the sun — if you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night. May the Fourth be with you, always!

Remember when Trump told Congress the war was over because there was a ceasefire? That was 72 hours ago.

Teachers are putting in the hard work to ensure the next generation has the skills to keep changing the world. I spoke with @aft.org and their National President Randi Weingarten about the need for greater investments in education to guarantee students have every opportunity to succeed.

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

Firing an education oversight official who refuses to give in to the Department’s pressure is Trump’s Dept. of Education’s latest intimidation tactic. We must end the brazen politicization of a bipartisan and independent committee.

It was a pleasure hosting Californians at the nation’s capitol and addressing their thoughts and concerns. If you are visiting DC, be sure to check on dates for our constituent breakfasts — it would be great to see you.

After Watergate, the Presidential Records Act aimed to preserve official White House records to ensure transparency. Now Trump's DOJ is seeking to evade it. The White House is not above the law. I’m demanding answers.

The War Powers Act is clear. If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this. Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.

As King Charles visits the U.S., it’s worth reflecting on the status of one of our most important alliances. We have ignored and assailed the British to the point where we are at war with Iran, and without a friend to be found.

House Republicans have blocked the bipartisan DHS funding bill the Senate passed for the past 32 days. Mike Johnson could fund these agencies today. He’s choosing not to.

Eric Trump gets a massive Pentagon contract. Melania gets a movie. Donald Trump gets millions in payouts and crypto. They’re all cashing in. And the corruption is killing our economy.

The Trump administration is once again refusing to call the effort by the Ottoman Empire to annihilate Armenians what it was – genocide. This is a tragic retreat from U.S. recognition of the genocide during the prior administration. www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

Congress needs to make it clear that no public official or other person with insider information can use it to profit off bets in prediction markets. My bill would ban contracts tied to war, assassination, terrorism, and death. 🧵

You may have heard Republicans are pursuing something called a “reconciliation” bill. Things can get a bit wonky, so let's simplify it. Here's what Republicans want: ✅Billions upon billions more $ for ICE and CBP ❌Funding to help you afford health care, food, and housing

By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists. These intimidation tactics won't succeed.

Instead of fighting to lower costs, Republicans are fighting to give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion. Which makes these agencies better funded than the FBI, DEA, ATF and all of the other federal law enforcement agencies — combined.

Kash Patel tries to save his job by emulating Trump in every way. Spend more time targeting perceived enemies than doing your job. Criticize the media for doing theirs. And, when in doubt — try to cash in.

The Trump admin wants access to the personal medical records of millions of federal workers, including their medical visits, prescriptions, and treatment histories. This is just wrong. I'm urging them to reserve course on this dangerous decision, which puts Americans’ privacy at risk.

Armenians do not waver in speaking truth to power and in fighting for justice. I joined ANCA and ARAMAC to recommit our fight in standing up to Azerbaijan's continued aggression, their efforts to erase Armenian culture and history, and insist on the release of Armenian POWs.
