The legally-mandated release of the Epstein files is now more than one month overdue. There are still MILLIONS of pages DOJ has yet to release. What are Trump's personal lawyers at the DOJ trying to hide?

California’s capital is on the rise! Thank you to Mayor McCarty for the warm welcome – looking forward to continuing to work together to deliver for Sacramento!

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant. That is unconstitutional. History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

The Trump administration’s scheme to control Venezuelan oil isn’t just imperialist overreach. It will deliver millions of dollars to Big Oil. The American people deserve to know: who in the White House is going to profit? www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/p...

He needs to stop using force without congressional approval and stop making promises he can’t keep.

After using military force in Venezuela without a plan for replacing the regime, the country is still run by Maduro’s henchmen. Now the president has promised the Iranian people that he will come to their aid, but without a plan for doing so that doesn’t mire us down in another endless war. 🧵

The Trump administration is threatening the jobs and livelihoods of Sikh drivers under the false claim it will make our roads safer. It won’t. They are far less likely to be in an accident than other drivers. In Bakersfield, I sat down with a group of Sikh truckers to hear their concerns.

Not only was DOGE illegally accessing your Social Security information, but it was also illegally offering to share it with third-party political groups working to overturn elections. This is a deep betrayal of the public trust and must be fully investigated. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

I introduced a Constitutional amendment to overturn this decision and put political power where it belongs: with the American people.

16 years ago today, the Supreme Court erased the limit on how much the wealthy and big corporations could pump into elections. Since Citizens United, we've seen billions of dollars of dark money drowning out the voice of American voters.

The Trump administration’s abuse of sensitive databases for immigration enforcement purposes has been a go-to intimidation tactic to serve their mass detention and deportation agenda. But sharing data on our veterans is a disgraceful abuse even for an administration hellbent on spreading fear.

Trump was never going to stop at Mark Kelly, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, or me. Targeting Minnesota officials is just Trump’s latest abuse of the DOJ, and his most recent attempt to silence and intimidate those who stand up to him. 🧵

And we are going to fight to put an end to the administration’s cruel mass deportation program which devastates families even as it is a body blow to our economy.

The American people deserve to know what’s happening inside these walls. We are going to keep conducting oversight of what is happening when a friend, neighbor, or family member is detained by ICE.
- AS
But the trauma within ICE detention facilities is unseen, as individuals spend weeks, months, or longer without being reunited with family. Threatened with deportation to countries they know nothing about. And ready to give up on their appeals, to avoid further detention.

And they described a lack of access to vital medical care, like insulin for diabetes. We have all watched in horror as ICE has engaged in indiscriminate immigration raids, grabbing citizens and noncitizens alike, and often endangering the lives of our neighbors in the process.
- AS
Many of the people we met with had no criminal record and were showing up for immigration appointments when they were arrested by ICE. They rarely get to see family members — who may live hundreds or thousands of miles away in the United States.

These are just some of the heartbreaking stories @padilla.senate.gov and I heard today at the California City Detention Center. 🧵

In just one year, Trump has abused his office at every turn. He has corruptly worked to enrich himself and his family, while doing nothing to help yours with the cost of living. The fight to preserve our democracy isn’t over — it’s just getting started.

The President’s betrayal of NATO is complete with this latest tariff threat. It will only further alienate our allies, drive economic uncertainty, and raise costs. Congress must act, and put a stop this self-destructive madness. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

Our servicemembers and their families deserve better than a Congress that lacks the courage to debate the military actions Trump is taking around the globe. With the help of the former isolationist, JD Vance, who cast the tie-breaking vote, Republicans in the Senate abdicated again.

Yet another failed attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate voters and undermine California's free and fair elections. The judge was absolutely right. Neither this president nor any other may “unilaterally usurp the authority over elections.” apnews.com/article/cali...

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

Personal lawsuits against media companies whose coverage offends the president, abuse of the regulatory process to censor the press, and now execution of warrants against journalists. There has never been a more blatant attack on freedom of the press in our history.

Let’s be clear: Targeting Jerome Powell is just the latest escalation of Trump's corrupt weaponization of the government in his pursuit of unfettered power. These actions will only weaken the economy, even as they threaten to chill and silence the president’s critics. Powell is right to speak out.

If the administration believes that risking our servicemembers is worth going into another country for oil, let them come to Congress for a vote. But that is certainly not putting America first.

If anyone blockaded the U.S., launched a military operation to make an arrest on U.S. soil, let alone seized our natural resources, and killed civilians in the process, we'd consider it an act of war.

Don't let this administration fool you. The real reason behind this meddling in Venezuela is less about drugs than it is about dollars. Oil dollars.
