As the Trump Iran War drags on, it continues to have severe consequences for our servicemembers. For more than 200 days, the San Diego-homeported USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed without visiting a port.

The Democratic Party needs to be a big tent. If you want to move the country forward and make the economy work for people, you have a place in our party.

Despite claims that President Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund is “dead,” Todd Blanche's DOJ continues to pursue other means of funneling taxpayer money from DOJ’s Judgment Fund to political allies and enablers. 🧵

California's farmers feed the nation, and our rice farmers also provide a vital resource for migratory birds and juvenile salmon. It was a pleasure to visit with rice farmers in Northern California to discuss the Farm Bill and how we can make it work for California.

At a time when millions of Americans fear that the life their parents had was better than what they have, and worry over the future for their kids, the president has an answer: Build a golden ballroom.

Senate Republicans had the opportunity to rein in ICE and CBP, they refused. Instead they handed DHS BILLIONS more of your tax dollars without any constraint after the shooting and killing individuals in the streets. www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/u...

This ruling gives Mojave National Preserve a vital reprieve from damaging mining activities. @rephuffman.bsky.social, @padilla.senate.gov, @heinrich.senate.gov, and I are fighting back against the Trump administration’s effort to degrade our public lands for profit.

The next Democratic majority should make repairing trust in the Supreme Court and the judicial branch a priority to ensure it doesn't continue to operate as a partisan and retrograde institution.

As Trump's war with Iran drags on, his administration is reportedly giving the Iranian regime access to confidential information on asylum seekers.

An inspector general is supposed to root out fraud, malfeasance, and corruption in executive branch agencies. So maybe an advisor who worked for an agency head and told an intelligence council to rewrite its conclusion to suit the president’s preferred narrative is not the best choice.

Devastated to learn of the passing of California’s pride, Jackie, earlier today. Any visitor to my office in the past year knows we proudly showed the livestream of Jackie’s nest showing alongside C-SPAN and national news. We join all of CA of mourning the passing of one of our most famous icons.

After disaster strikes, communities should be able to access support from the federal government without delay or bureaucratic red tape. But our current laws are not working as they should.

Recent cyberattacks by hostile foreign powers have exposed unacceptable risks to America’s water systems. But federal law doesn’t allow the EPA to set minimum standards for cyber protections at our water utilities, or even get reports on cybersecurity practices or incidents.

2019 — 7 killed in Dayton. 2021 — 10 killed in Boulder. 2022 — 5 killed in Colorado Springs. 2023 — 6 killed in Nashville. Mass shooters have used stabilizing braces to kill scores of Americans in recent years.

As I said in his confirmation hearing, the fundamental problem with Todd Blanche isn’t that he’s inexperienced or unintelligent. It’s that he’s never been able to shed his role as criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump. He cannot and will never do it.

Standing with the Ukrainian people has never been more important than now, as the war reaches a critical turning point. This bill reaffirms our commitment to Ukraine by enacting the sanctions needed to curtail Russia’s primary source of income and cripple its war effort. 🧵

Trump's judicial nominees are still afraid to say who won the 2020 election. If they can't rely on the truth to answer a simple question, they can't be trusted to rely on the facts as a judge.

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law in a historic affirmation of every American’s right to vote. Today, voting rights are under attack by the Trump administration and its cronies who would rather pick their voters than honor the voice of voters.

Access to safe drinking water is not a partisan issue — at least not for the American people. This administration is hellbent on weakening health protections and exposing millions of Americans to toxic chemicals, like PFAS, in drinking water so that others can profit from it. 🧵

The United States is the world’s leader in science and innovation, a role we’ve played for more than a century. The Trump administration’s endless attacks on research funding put that position of preeminence at risk. 🧵

By repealing a key provision that has — for decades — protected endangered wildlife, the Trump administration has made it legal for for-profit industries to destroy the habitats of endangered species.

This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future. It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.

Apparently, it’s not that important for Trump to have an Attorney General. Certainly, not if it conflicts with his ability to protect himself from tax audit or investigation, or to reward friends, cronies and insurrectionists with taxpayer funds. It’s always about him. Never about you.

As Trump’s illegal war with Iran enters its sixth month, millions of Americans are still paying the price, and our servicemembers’ lives remain at risk. Although support for the resolution was bipartisan, more Republicans must join the demand for an end to the war.

Cost is no object for Trump's vanity projects using your tax dollars, but it certainly is for most Americans at the grocery store and the gas station. Imagine if he cared half as much about lowering your costs as he does about his gold-plated makeovers.
