Once again, Donald Trump chooses chaos over national security. Installing an unqualified loyalist like Bill Pulte will not make us safer. Nor will insisting that Congress add an unrelated voter suppression bill to a FISA extension. It will only ensure the latter will fail. No reforms for FISA.

The decision to go to war was never the President's to make. Senate Democrats have insisted that Congress play its constitutional role and stop these illegal and deeply harmful wars. Senate Republicans have now voted EIGHT times to shirk their duty and greenlight Trump's illegal war of choice.

Donald Trump, the developer: Tear down a historic building for a project that the public didn’t want or approve. Triple the initial price tag. Make taxpayers foot the bill after promising they wouldn’t.

The Trump administration's newest corruption scheme just dropped. Kash Patel may be using the FBI's budget as his personal slush fund to pay agents tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for carrying out illegal orders, or as hush money to keep quiet about what they witnessed.

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Trump’s EPA and the willingness of Senate Republicans to bend the rules to deliver for the fossil fuel industry comes at a terrible cost to public health.

One year after gutting California’s ability to set its own clean air standards, the administration is once again hellbent on killing EV’s and allowing more tailpipe emissions. 🧵

After spending about a billion tax dollars a day on his illegal war with Iran, Trump is now agreeing to a $300 BILLION Iran reconstruction fund? The more we learn about this “deal,” the worse it becomes.

Trump’s war of choice has been an enormous strategic loss for our country and only emboldens Iran.

1) a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war, and 2) an agreement to agree on a nuclear deal in the future.

The President’s abuse of the Justice Department continues, with new targets every day. The Governor won't be silenced. Nor will my Senate colleagues. Nor will I. In the face of vindictive and baseless investigations, we are defiant and unbowed.

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country.

I’m the first Senator from California to sit on the Agriculture Committee in 30 years, despite California being the biggest agricultural state in the country. So when the Ag Secretary comes to testify, I get ready by reflecting on the farmers and farmworkers I’ve met and the stories they’ve shared.

Another rubber stamp by this administration, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. At issue: Californian film industry jobs and the regional economy, consumer choices and increased streaming fees, media consolidation and the First Amendment, and the foreign actors funding this deal.

There is no expunging the stain of Trump’s two impeachments. Or avoiding the conclusion that the President cares little about the economic hardships of the American people. His priority is only, ever, Donald Trump.

We need swift action to address the dangers and deficiencies at this facility and stand with those fighting for access to clean water, food & medical care. The lack of care has led to dire, if not fatal, outcomes. That cannot be tolerated.

Some of the worst mass shootings in the U.S. and cartel violence in Mexico have one thing in common: ammunition made at the U.S. Army-owned Lake City Ammunition Plant.

Widespread bombing. Seizing Iranian land and resources. “Total control”. This illegal war never ended, but if Congress doesn't stop it, the next phase could be the costliest and riskiest yet.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars meant to maintain the beauty of our national parks for his own vanity projects instead. Trump’s self‑aggrandizing is coming at the cost of maintaining California’s most treasured natural wonders.

Trump is parading his UFC fight as a celebration for America 250. But his fight on the South Lawn isn't a celebration for our country, it's a garish birthday party closing out his 7-figure fundraiser. The grift doesn't stop.

President Trump still wants to pay off violent insurrectionists who attacked police officers on January 6th. If he can’t use his personal slush fund, he may seek other ways to misuse taxpayer funds.

Make no mistake: in California, our democracy is working as it should. But our President is doing everything in his power to make you doubt that with constant lies. His baseless, anti-democratic rhetoric has no place in our electoral process.

President Trump’s attempt to claim that he can ignore the War Powers Act because hostilities have ceased is wrong both factually and legally. The bombs are still dropping and the ports are still blockaded. No wonder the administration refuses to release the legal opinion justifying the war.

Senate Republicans just voted to send ICE $72 BILLION without any reforms. Now ICE is hiding data on the condition of their detention facilities, their treatment of detainees, and the deaths that have resulted. Republicans chose to bankroll this cruelty and lack of transparency.

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

The Acting Attorney General — and Trump’s criminal defense lawyer — claimed that he had settled Trump’s suit against the IRS by holding Trump, his family and businesses immune from audit. That would protect $100 million of the president’s potentially fraudulent tax claims. 🧵
