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. 🧵

This brave whistleblower has exposed another dangerous abuse of power.
- AS
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.

They hope to deter Latino citizens from voting with these awful tactics. They must not succeed.

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.

I hope for the sake of our sailors, Marines, soldiers, guardians and airmen that this new deployment of Californians does not repeat the hardships of the Abraham Lincoln.
- AS
Only last week, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and its carrier strike group left San Diego. All signs point to its crew being relief for a beleaguered force still deployed in the Middle East.
- AS
Not just for the sake of the higher costs this war has imposed on the American people, but for the sake of those servicemembers who have paid an even higher price. Those who have been asked to miss holidays, birthdays, births and weddings for nearly a year in order to sustain this war of choice.
- AS
As we welcome them home today, and we hear more of those stories of hardship and sacrifice, I hope these heavy burdens resonate through the halls of the White House and the Pentagon. With no clear objective and no measurable progress, this war must end.
- AS
The crew of the Abraham Lincoln has faced long and grueling shifts, diminished supplies and even mental health crises. Those burdens of such a long deployment have been shouldered by the crew and their families back in San Diego.
- AS
In the time these men and women were deployed as the tip of the spear in the Iran war, they worked tirelessly. And that service took a heavy toll – a price we have come to know through harrowing stories shared by family members and even the military's own leadership.
- AS
And today, for the first time in 10 months, they return home. They hug loved ones. They sleep out of harm's way.

321 days. That's how long the USS Abraham Lincoln and its thousands of servicemembers have been away from their families and their home port of San Diego.

@padilla.senate.gov, @carbajal.house.gov, and I are investigating the legality of this ethically dubious career change that’s a trademark example of this administration’s corrupt relationship with the oil industry.
- AS
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.

With the support of the White House and both sides of the aisle, and from the unions and the moviemakers who deliver the magic to our theaters, I am hopeful we can finally get this done.
- AS
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 Trump DOJ just opened the floodgates to more tragedy and violence. It's a win for the Big Gun industry, and a loss for our country — especially our young people.
- AS
Guns are the leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 18 and 20. This demographic also commits gun homicides at triple the rate of people over the age of 21.

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.

At a time when freedom of the press is under threat both at home and abroad, I won't stop demanding justice for Khashoggi's murder and protection of the press.

Eight years since the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the brutal torture and murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and no one in the Saudi government has been held accountable. (We may even help them with a nuclear program.)

In that spirit, Senator Pete Ricketts and I are introducing legislation to modernize the Endangered Species Act and to help our most vulnerable species survive and recover.
- AS
Over 50 years ago, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act with a unanimous vote in the Senate. Senators banded together across party lines because doing our part to help species survive and reach recovery must be a bipartisan cause.

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.

These families, who have already lost so much in these fires, deserve to have the resources and aid they need to rebuild and recover stronger than before.

Californians are still rebuilding and recovering after the devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. I'm glad FEMA has finally heeded to our calls to release urgently needed financial assistance through the Disaster Case Management Program.

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.
