The Trump admin must reverse this disastrous decision to withhold NASA funds. These cuts would be devastating for NASA’s workforce and our leadership in science and space exploration. www.eenews.net/articles/whi...

"Whether approved by Congress or not" is certainly not "what our Founders desired." Nor was a king disguised as a rambling fool.

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?

Accommodation does not moderate authoritarian regimes, it emboldens them. An important reminder that college and university leaders must fight to protect our democracy and intellectual freedom on college campuses. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

For months, the administration falsely claimed that its military operations in the Caribbean were about stopping drugs. Now, they are hiding the proceeds of Venezuela’s oil in an offshore bank. Where is the money going? Who benefits? We need answers. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

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.

The administration is trying to indict members of Congress for speaking truth to power. This is a grave threat to the First Amendment and the right of citizens to choose their own representatives. The time to speak out is now.

Trump’s DOJ lackeys just tried to indict Members of Congress for stating the obvious: You don’t have to follow illegal orders. That the DOJ would even contemplate such an action demonstrates what a repressive regime is now running this country. 🧵

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.

Trump’s rambling speech at the National Prayer Breakfast was far from unifying or spiritually inspired. Instead, he pedaled the same tired lies. But he did make one confession that grabbed my attention. youtu.be/iSNzRjrKyYc?...

Donald Trump hasn't kept his promises, and he knows the American people are ready to hold him accountable. So now he's promising to cheat in the next election, if given the chance. We can't give him that chance.

It was a delight to host some of California’s great local leaders here at the Capitol with @padilla.senate.gov. Mayors from up and down our great state gathered to discuss issues their communities are facing and how we can partner together to deliver for Californians.

6 years ago this week, I warned the Senate how dangerous Trump would be if they did not convict him. I said he would not change, and that he would continue trying to cheat in our elections. I didn’t imagine then how right that would be. youtu.be/9FxNBDUGMmE?...

I served with the U.S. Attorneys Office in LA for almost 6 years. It was a great office, professional and apolitical. My heart breaks for the many hundreds of dedicated prosecutors who have been forced to leave rather than engage in unethical conduct. But they have made the right decision.

Donald Trump is terrified of the accountability the midterms will bring. So now he floats ‘nationalizing’ elections and his advisors promise to put ICE at polling places. Straight out of a dictator's playbook.

Glenn Medical Center had to close because of a bureaucratic change targeting rural hospitals. For months, I worked with the late-Rep. LaMalfa and Sen. Hyde Smith to help reopen it. Now, I'm proud our bill was signed into law, giving Glenn a fighting chance to reopen its doors in the future.

Yesterday, the last nuclear arms treaty between the United States and Russia expired, opening the door to nuclear build-up, decreased trust among nuclear powers, and less stability. The admin needs to focus on new talks to preserve nuclear stability, before the world becomes even more dangerous.

The DNI has no role overseeing domestic law enforcement or in managing U.S. elections — absolutely none. Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has made election denial and sycophancy towards the president her only core conviction. Gabbard could do the country a great favor and resign.

This month, we celebrate the profound legacy and impact Black history and Black Americans have had on California, the U.S., and the world. The censors in the administration may try to erase our history, or diminish the achievements of Black Americans — all the more reason to celebrate them.

The EPA is proposing to roll back decades of progress on attacking water pollution — abandoning their responsibility to protect water quality and limiting the effectiveness of the Clean Water Act. We cannot revert back to a time when pollution caused our rivers to catch fire.

There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to. That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.

The arrest of journalists for covering a protest is a grave attack on the first amendment and freedom of the press. And proof the Trump Administration is not deescalating. There will be accountability for these abuses of power.

ICE's violence and terror cannot become the new normal for America. We must act now, and bring about real reforms of ICE and CBP to stop their abuse of power and excessive use of force in our streets.
