“Your family doesn’t actually need to be able to afford dolls for your kids" is not an economic plan. Trump knows he’s driving our economy off a cliff and he just doesn’t care.

One of California's CAL FIRE C-130 Hercules is assigned to fight the #SpringsFire, which just ignited in the last couple hours. Grateful for the CAL FIRE Tulare Unit responders working to contain this blaze.

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Trump’s military trans ban is shameful.   We should honor the brave Americans who step up to serve their country –– not turn them away.

I’m on my way to the Senate floor to speak out against Republicans’ latest attack on California’s Clean Air Act waivers.    While Republicans are willing to go nuclear on Senate rules to spite California, I will be joining Adam Schiff and Sheldon Whitehouse in standing up and

BIG win for the American people.   Ed Martin –– a known election denier, January 6th supporter, and ally to Russian state media –– has no business serving as the D.C. U.S. Attorney.   We deserve better. This is the first step in the right direction.

Meet my constituent, Stephanie. Her parents, Gladys and Nelson, were deported after 35 years of living in the U.S. and contributing positively to our economy and society.

Here are the facts: 1. During the Biden Admin, Senate Republicans asked GAO for an opinion and were told the waivers were not rules. 2. The Senate has abided by GAO and parliamentarian decisions — whether or not they agreed — since the enactment of the Congressional Review Act in 1996.

Grateful to speak with a few of California’s incredible teachers today and thank them for all of their hard work!   This #TeachersAppreciationWeek I am reminded that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teachers who believed in me growing up. Thankful for their impact then

President Trump’s unjustified decision to fire Dr. Carla Hayden as the Librarian of Congress is deeply troubling and just the latest example of Trump’s assault on the legislative branch of government.   Read my full statement below.

Reminder it's the Library of Congress NOT the Library of the President. But once again, Trump would rather fight fake culture wars and create false outrage than deal with the economy he's single-handedly tanking.

As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth.   Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy

This week, during public service recognition week, I stand in solidarity with each and every one of our federal workers who have been fired, forced to resign, or has to live with the anxiety of the uncertainty in their field right now. Our country depends on our public service

Standing up to Trump and his attacks on our environmental and public health protections isn’t new for California.    We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.
