Providing federal recognition to this ridgeline trail will help preserve it for future generations, and I’m proud to see colleagues — on both sides of the aisle — support this effort.

Apparently, it’s not that important for Trump to have an Attorney General. Certainly, not if it conflicts with his ability to protect himself from tax audit or investigation, or to reward friends, cronies and insurrectionists with taxpayer funds. It’s always about him. Never about you.

As Trump’s illegal war with Iran enters its sixth month, millions of Americans are still paying the price, and our servicemembers’ lives remain at risk. Although support for the resolution was bipartisan, more Republicans must join the demand for an end to the war.

Cost is no object for Trump's vanity projects using your tax dollars, but it certainly is for most Americans at the grocery store and the gas station. Imagine if he cared half as much about lowering your costs as he does about his gold-plated makeovers.

Trump's personal lawyer-turned-Attorney General nominee, Todd Blanche, gave him full immunity for any tax cheats and dodges he used before May 2026. Here's why this is the scandal everyone should be talking about: youtu.be/MOMO3nf364g?...

Californians deserve transparency from Sable about its efforts to kill environmental protections and risk another big oil spill. Sable is putting profit over people as it coordinates with the Trump administration to dodge accountability from Congress.

I’m leading @judiciarydems.senate.gov in launching a new inquiry into the decisions that went into these blatant attacks on press freedom, and how key nominees may have aided this attack on the 1st Amendment.

Two different Trump nominees — Todd Blanche and Jay Clayton — potentially oversaw the subpoenaing of New York Times journalists and their families. These orders were so inappropriate that the Justice Department had to retract them. 🧵

I’m appalled by the vandalization of the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center and that a community mural meant to inspire hope and resilience after the Eaton Fire was defiled with antisemitic bile. Hate has no home in California, and we must condemn it wherever it rears its ugly head.

A post by a paid influencer in 2026 can reach more voters than any billboard, even many broadcast ads. But there is no requirement for a political disclaimer telling people who paid for it. That must change.

We cannot allow AI to further blur the line between fact and fiction in political campaigns — that's why I’m fighting to pass my AI Ads Act.

Fraudulent AI-generated political ads that use the voice or likeness of a candidate to misrepresent their position on issues pose a serious threat to our democracy that should concern Americans regardless of their political party. 🧵

This admin is trying to make it easier for higher education institutions to avoid accountability or punishment for failing their students and wasting federal funding. Rep. Takano and I are fighting this attempt to undermine America’s rigorous accreditation process for our colleges and universities.

Any Trump official who lied and told the nation these clean energy grant cancellations had nothing to do with politics should resign. As the administration has now been forced to concede — these cancellations had everything to do with politics. Of the worst kind. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Trump bought at least $1 million of Dell stock in February. Since then, he's repeatedly told Americans to buy Dell products. No wonder he has pocketed $2.3 billion off the presidency. The grift never stops.

Spending billions more on a war that the American people don't want and Congress didn’t approve is a terrible mistake. This war of choice must end, and our troops must be brought home.

While House Republicans provided enough support to pass another resolution to end the Iran war, Senate Republicans did not. Tragically, this war has led to economic instability, driven up prices for millions of Americans, and resulted in the deaths of 18 of our servicemembers.

Four servicemembers died this past weekend in the war with Iran. We mourn their loss, and grieve with their families. Even as we disagree with the President’s decision to take this country to war, we honor those who have fallen.

Three American servicemembers were tragically killed in the Iran war this weekend. It's clear that while this war rages on, the American people remain in the dark about the President’s strategy and war aims. How long will Republicans in the Senate allow this to continue?

Trump gave a rambling primetime speech about “election security” last week. The only thing it revealed is that the greatest threat to our elections comes from within. It comes from him. We break down his worst lies from the speech.

Trump's return to a trade war with Canada further imperils American businesses and industries – like California wine – that rely on Canadian markets. As Canada faces a serious natural disaster at home, this is the wrong message to send to our northern neighbor. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/b...

If the $400 million plane Qatar gifted the President of the United States is still not safe enough, and Trump is using it against the advice of his own Secret Service, the American people deserve to know.

The Supreme Court, and our federal judiciary at large, must be held to the highest standard — at a minimum it must follow the same ethics rules that apply to other federal officials. Today it does not. Cases should be decided based on merit, not personal profits. Americans deserve nothing less.
- AS
This must be just the beginning. We need a whole set of strong reforms to the Supreme Court. Comprehensive reform must include: ✔️ Term limits for Justices ✔️ An enforceable code of ethics ✔️ Expanding the Court
- AS
✔️ Prevent Supreme Court Justices and other federal judges from participating in cases where they hold personal financial interests ✔️ Enact a ban on individual stock trading by Justices and other federal judges ✔️ Expand the Freedom of Information Act to the federal judicial system

The Supreme Court is out of control and nakedly partisan. Today I'm making another push to strengthen accountability, transparency, and ethical standards across the federal judiciary. Here's what the bills I'm introducing would do: 🧵

We need to understand what role he played in helping his family’s company in the midst of the DOJ overturning 30 different gun safety regulations in the past year. I’m working to get those answers before Blanche faces a confirmation vote.

Todd Blanche told a reporter this spring he was “part of the gun industry”. Maybe that’s because his mother-in-law is the CEO of a gun company. 🧵
