Last week, the Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump illegally taxed Americans to the tune of $175 billion. I’m cosponsoring @wyden.senate.gov’s legislation to require that Trump refund those tariffs. Mr. President, give American consumers and small businesses back the money that you owe them.

From betting space missions will explode to predicting a Ukrainian town would be captured by the Russians — betting on death is dangerous and flat out wrong. I'm calling on the CFTC Chair to commit to follow the law and explicitly prohibit gambling on people's lives.

I'll continue to do everything I can to keep up the pressure on the administration to aid and assist our Ukrainian ally, and call on Putin to end his war of aggression.

In the four years since Russia’s brutal invasion, the Ukrainian people have shown great courage and ingenuity as they’ve resisted Putin’s aggression. The American people stand with Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty and territorial integrity. 🧵

California hospitals like Santa Ynez Valley Cottage are a community lifeline delivering quality health care services. I'm proud to have written and passed a new law that restored its critical access status, ensuring Cottage has the resources needed to continue serving Santa Barbara County.

I investigated this illegal spending on government propaganda when these banners first emerged, and I will continue to expose this misuse of taxpayer dollars to pay tribute to the Trump cult of personality. www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-r...

More insidious propaganda befitting a tin pot dictator, this time hanging from the Department of Justice. Making clear to all, there is not justice left in the department, only Trump’s personal retribution.

The Supreme Court just said the President illegally bypassed Congress to tax your groceries, housing, medicine, and more with widespread tariffs. Trump's response? He will find a new way to end run the Congress and tax the American consumer. We won’t let him.

This week I got to visit the beautiful city of Guadalupe and see firsthand how federal investments are improving people's lives. Working with Sen. Padilla and Rep. Carbajal, I'm proud to have helped secure funding to upgrade Guadalupe's early childhood education center and senior center.

The Trump administration is trying to reopen a shuttered correctional facility in Dublin, California notorious for its decrepit conditions and history of inmate sexual abuse. Its proposed new tenant? ICE. I’m leading the fight in Congress to oppose this dangerous move.

The vast majority of prediction markets are indistinguishable from sports gambling. Despite being offered in violation of state law and tribal sovereignty, the CFTC is greenlighting them. @cortezmasto.senate.gov and I are demanding the CFTC reverse course. www.wired.com/story/senato...

Cyberattacks on our water systems put the basic needs of millions at risk, and we're seeing increasing concern that they have become a weapon of choice for ransomware attacks. I'm working on legislation to improve the tools municipalities have to keep hackers out of our water supply.

Saddened by the loss of civil rights giant Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jackson never stopped advocating for the most marginalized among us, and pushing America to live up to its ideals. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry on his legacy by continuing the fight for a more just world.

ICE agents need to have body cameras on and masks off. They need to abide by the same code of conduct as local law enforcement. This is common sense. Republicans in Congress need to join us in reining in ICE agents so we can end the chaos in our streets.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Trump’s White House is offering million-dollar donors special access to the President and official events — this time America’s 250th birthday. This latest pay-to-play arrangement undercuts already crumbling public trust.

I've been clear — I will not support more funding for ICE until there are new guardrails to rein in its lawless conduct. A continuing resolution on their current funding is merely more license for their current malfeasance. I'm a no on anything but real reform.

Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion because a contractor illegally shared his tax returns. Do each of the thousands of taxpayers who saw their confidential tax information illegally given to DHS get $10 billion as well?

Glenn Medical Center, the only hospital in Glenn County, closed last year due to bureaucratic red tape — forcing families to travel miles to get care. Now, a new bipartisan law that I wrote with the late-Rep. LaMalfa is fixing Glenn's federal status and creating a pathway to reopening its doors.

When the administration comes after members of the House and Senate, our response should be: screw you, we’re not backing down. In the face of a weaponized government trying to intimidate public servants for simply stating the law, we must fight back. And give no quarter.

There is still a lot we need to know about the remaining Epstein Files. But one thing we know for sure: this administration has been lying, consistently, about the Epstein Files and their attempts to cover up his connections to them and Trump himself. youtu.be/Z7rF-6TP9h0?...

The Vice President’s deletion of this post only deepens the pain of the Armenian community which saw this White House retreat on Armenian Genocide recognition. Another capitulation to Turkey, in such a sloppy manner as to invite further scrutiny of this admin's retreat on human rights & the truth.

$600,000,000 slashed from public health funding in four blue states, the vast majority targeting California. These cuts will hurt vital efforts to prevent the spread of disease. It's dangerous, and it's deliberate. The Trump administration's targeting of blue states is illegal and must end.
