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.

I'm leading Senate Judiciary Dems in demanding answers from Blanche on this clear and continued abuse of taxpayer funds.
- AS
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. 🧵

My message to young people is this: You are important. You have power. Find a good way to use it.

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.

Thanks to the people of Santa Rosa for turning out in such large numbers for our Economy for All Townhall with CA Sen. Mike McGuire. Hearing what is important to you is essential to finding the best ways to bring down costs and make the economy work for everyone.

Now he wants to use your tax dollars to cover the majority of the almost $1 BILLION price tag of his vanity projects. Another broken promise on your tab. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

It’s time to end this war and bring our troops home.

Now, ICE is looking to purchase electrical shock gloves to continue terrorizing our communities. How soon will they be used to inflict further cruelty?
- AS
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...

We must continue protecting California’s beautiful open spaces — vital treasures that must be preserved for generations to come.

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.

I make my case in an @latimes.com op-ed for why Democrats must unite around a simple and popular agenda to reform the Court: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

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.

@blumenthal.senate.gov and I are opening an investigation today into how DHS allowed a hostile government to attempt to coerce Iranian immigrants to drop their asylum claims.
- AS
As Trump's war with Iran drags on, his administration is reportedly giving the Iranian regime access to confidential information on asylum seekers.
- AS
Unless, of course, the goal is to cover up more corruption.

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.

I’ve partnered with Senator Joni Ernst on this bipartisan bill to change the law and expand the help cities can receive to process rebuilding projects more quickly following disasters.
- AS
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.

These threats are not hypothetical—they are happening right now. The federal government needs to step up and help protect our drinking water from cyberattacks by foreign states and criminals. Cyberattacks threaten both your health and your water bill.
- AS
Today I'm unveiling a bill with @klobuchar.senate.gov to have the EPA develop those cybersecurity standards and provide resources to help water and wastewater utilities protect their systems from hacks.
- AS
In 2023, a few states sued to stop the last administration from implementing a cybersecurity guideline for state utilities.
- AS
I’m introducing a comprehensive bill today to change that.
- AS
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.
- AS
Senator Young and I are introducing legislation to improve federal cybersecurity resources to help small businesses mitigate their cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
- AS
As small businesses face a growing threat of cyberattacks and phishing schemes, we must give them the tools they need to stop hacks and lower their risk.

The State Department must report on the full extent of Venezuela’s human rights violations to make clear the toll that millions of civilians continue to face, notwithstanding the U.S. role in that government’s decisions.
- AS
Venezuela’s government has a long record of widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and political repression, that have continued under Delcy Rodríguez.

Now, Trump’s ATF wants to roll this safeguard back — allow braces to proliferate again — and put the gun industry profits ahead of public safety. We must stop this.
- AS
That’s why we pushed for guardrails in the last administration to regulate this deadly device.
- AS
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.

Blanche has sought to compensate cop beaters who attacked the Capitol in support of the president. Even if the anti-weaponization fund doesn’t move forward, Blanche’s Justice Department has been using other funds of the department to pay off criminals and cronies of the president.
- AS
His efforts to protect the president and others in the Epstein Files were a scandalous abuse of power in which he covered up and withheld documents to protect Donald Trump and further injured the victims by publishing their names and photos.
- AS
Under Blanche, the Justice Department has become an instrument of revenge and reward. We should not confirm an Attorney General who believes the president has a right and a duty to go after his enemies and bring sea shells cases against them.
- AS
He has used the Department of Justice to enrich the President of the United States – leveraging the power of the DOJ and IRS to make the president, his family, and his businesses more money and to provide immunity for their actions – that is not the job of an Attorney General.
- AS
I voted to oppose his nomination. And he should have been rejected for numerous reasons:
- AS
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.

This bill is named for Doug LaMalfa, who championed this relief for Californians impacted by devastating fires – and I know he would be proud to see this bill on its way to the President's desk to become law.

BREAKING: the Senate just UNANIMOUSLY passed the bill Sen. Rick Scott and I introduced, along with Rep. Greg Steube, Rep. Mike Thompson, and @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, to provide tax relief for victims of wildfires, hurricanes, and other disasters.

It may also be the single most important thing the U.S. government can do to bring an end to Russia's war of aggression.

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.
