This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the incredible contributions of the Latino community. Latinos have enriched our nation — in law, medicine, the arts, science, politics, sports and so much more.

In the first Trump administration, the Trump family bent over backwards to deny any connections to Russia. To the point of covering up meetings in Trump Tower or discussions with the Russian Ambassador. Now, the Russians are literally funding their extravagance.

Tonight in Los Angeles, the Emmy Awards will celebrate the actors and artists who have entertained us through their work in television this past year. Many of tonight's finalists filmed shows in California, contributing to our state's long history of supporting the television and film industry.

This administration is jeopardizing our health and environment to pay off corporate polluters and loosen the laws for data centers, many of which are reliant on polluting gas plants. Americans will pay the price for the administration’s disregard for the climate crisis.

Without regulations over one of the largest sources of emissions in our country, the health of millions will be on the line and the risk of natural disasters like wildfires will keep increasing. 🧵

If Democrats take the majority, it's not enough for us to go back to the status quo before Trump came into office. We need to have a bold agenda like Medicare for All that will dramatically reduce costs and improve the lives of Americans.

In 2025, we renamed this bill in memory of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, who championed this bill with us before his passing. With President Trump’s signature today, we affirm Doug’s legacy as a champion for Californians impacted by devastating fires.

This bill delivers tax relief to victims of natural disasters through greater deductions, and extends the window during which survivors of fires like Eaton and Palisades can deduct payments from wildfire settlements from their taxes.

The administration and DHS make no effort to hide their obvious bigotry, casting suspicion on millions of Americans based on their background and appearance, in this case, the Sikh community. DHS’s grotesque advertising campaign is hateful, disgraceful, and un-American.

Workers are the backbone of our economy, but the American Dream is out of reach for too many. On Labor Day, we celebrate all that the labor movement and unions have done to protect the rights and dignity of America's workers. We can't rest until every American has a fair shot to get ahead.

This campaign season, we’ve seen an onslaught of political advertising made possible by AI and the growing influencer economy. As the line between fact and fiction is increasingly blurred, current law has not kept pace with the changing landscape of technology-empowered political speech.

As a result of Trump’s tariffs and war, American families are spending $3,500 more per year on the cost of food, gas and medicine. Meanwhile... Trump and his family have made more than $4 BILLION off the presidency. That's the cost of corruption.

I've represented Burbank and Hollywood for over two decades in the House, and now in the Senate. I love the film industry and the work they do. And I'm intently focused on enacting a federal film tax incentive to bring back the jobs we've lost and to protect the exciting work this industry does.

Today marks one year since the administration began its unauthorized and unconstitutional boat strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific — killing over 200 people. One thing is clear: this military campaign, which continues with the latest strikes just last week, remains illegal and ineffective.

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

As students return to school this fall, the Dept. Of Education’s abrupt and unlawful cuts to funds approved by a bipartisan Congress have stretched mental health staff and resources thin. They must disburse these funds immediately to ensure students have access to essential health services.

Today marks six months of the Iran War. Six months with no strategy and no end in sight. Six months of higher costs across the board. Six months of our servicemembers being away from their families. Six months and 18 service members killed. We must end this war and bring our troops home.

The DOJ wants to shield Trump’s communications with others from Congressional oversight. Why? To insulate Trump and his corrupt acts from any accountability if the majority changes. I'm leading an effort to stop this latest abuse of power. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The supine Supreme Court majority again abets Trump’s efforts to interfere with the upcoming midterm election. Another precedent-breaking validation of right-wing attacks on equal access to the ballot. Such is the undeniable legacy of the Roberts Court. www.cnn.com/2026/08/24/p...

While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice. More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions. And you get higher taxes and higher costs.

Canada is one of our closest allies and friends. Not our enemy. And the President’s self-defeating tariff wars will only raise our prices, and further drive Canada away. Probably irreparably. Time to stop this insanity. www.ft.com/content/e3b5...

This conduct by ICE is unconscionable. ICE should know they cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. Instead of complying with the law, ICE agents chose to threaten violence against a law firm because of whom they represent. We intend to investigate this incident.

That's why Shasta County already rejected these conspiracies this year by ousting an election denier in their own election — the very one who is now bringing Tina Peters to California. Shasta County should also reject this latest import of election denialism.
