A company backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s investment firm just received a $620 million Pentagon loan. Taxpayer dollars should fund our national defense, not enrich the president's family and his donors. This is the swamp with a Silicon Valley rebrand.

Young families are being priced out of parenthood: child care is up 30%, birth costs $3K out of pocket, and starter homes are over $1M in 100+ California cities. Young families aren't choosing this affordability crisis.

Proud to support my good friend and former colleague @xavierbecerra.bsky.social for Governor of California

Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Now the government owes $166 billion in refunds. That’s a shocking amount of money Trump stole from American consumers and small businesses. buff.ly/kxsV3jz

Trump and his cabinet can't agree on when gas prices will drop. But they all agree on one thing: you'll be paying more for a long time. That's the cost of a war Congress never authorized.

LA County's new one-stop housing agency just approved 500+ units and cut costs by 12%. Less red tape means more homes. It’s simple math. buff.ly/C2Rb1TD

This is the land my grandfather was torn from when the US government forced him out of his home and sent him to an incarceration camp. History doesn't repeat itself by accident. It repeats when we stop paying attention.

Federal agents arrested hundreds of Americans at protests. In more than a third of cases, charges fell apart because officer statements didn't match the video. This is what abuse of power looks like. buff.ly/FmbRkXc

I asked RFK Jr. if he'd recommend Trump undergo a mental fitness evaluation. He said, "absolutely not." That tells you everything about where his loyalty lies.

Trump promised a "golden age" for the economy. Instead, he started a war, and gas is nearly $5 a gallon in some states. Republicans wanted him to talk about affordability. He chose war. Now voters are paying for both.

For 250 years, the post office has delivered to every American regardless of zip code. That is the promise. Congress needs to act before we lose something we cannot get back.

Alejandro Cabrera Clemente is the 47th person to die in ICE custody under this administration. 47 people. This is a crisis. Yet, this administration keeps calling it standard practice.

A judge threw out Trump's $10 billion defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal this week. The court saw it for what it was: an attempt to intimidate a free press into silence. That is not how democracy works. And thankfully, the courts are still saying so.

The Pope called Trump's war in Iran unjust. Trump's response was to attack the Pope. Silencing the messenger doesn't change the message.

Nearly a third of all Americans voted by mail in 2024. Trump has already had one voting order blocked by federal courts, he knows this is unconstitutional. He doesn’t care. buff.ly/NT1BCJl

61,000 California truck drivers stand to lose their licenses under Trump's enforcement actions. Stripping thousands of licensed, legal truck drivers off the road doesn't just hurt their families, it hits every consumer. We can't afford this. buff.ly/ffncTCo

Trump has threatened to jail a journalist for reporting the news. A free press is not a threat to national security. When leaders start jailing reporters, the truth becomes the first casualty. buff.ly/kWex5YM

Gas prices are up 30%. Diesel is up 40%. This is what Trump's unauthorized war costs working families and it's only getting worse.

I joined the No Kings protests because this moment demands it. Across all 50 states, Americans said enough. That same energy wins elections. Let's finish what we started.

California has the most small businesses in the nation, many of which are owned by immigrants. Blocking green-card holders from SBA loans shuts the door on opportunity. That hurts families, jobs, and our economy. buff.ly/mao7ExN

Last summer, troops illegally descended on LA, costing taxpayers millions once they left. Now, Trump has said he wants to bring troops back not only to LA but also to San Francisco. How is this making California great? buff.ly/yHJBYcf

Here in California, the FAIR Act requires educators to teach about important figures in the LGBTQ+ community. However, teachers say that due to the anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments from the Trump admin, this is becoming harder. buff.ly/Hjgs3Ek

Untrained ICE agents have no business being in our airports. How does intimidation keep us safe? buff.ly/V6ySbrl

Starter homes are disappearing across California. For too many families, the path to homeownership is slipping out of reach. Every American deserves a chance to own where they live. buff.ly/ei6hctR

My 90s era: teacher ➡️ candidate for Congress

The SAVE Act makes it harder for millions of Americans to vote. Now, it’s being loaded with unrelated attacks on transgender Americans. This bill is a threat to basic rights and a distraction from real issues facing Americans like the price of gas.

Democrats are clear: rein in ICE and restore accountability. At the same time, we’ve put forward multiple bills to fund TSA and keep travelers safe. Republicans have blocked them every time. We can do both—protect security and uphold our values.

Californians are already feeling the impacts of Trump’s efforts to throw out climate protections. A water reservoir is below capacity, which puts pressure on our water supply and has serious consequences for millions.

Republicans would rather send ICE agents to intimidate travelers and force TSA workers to go weeks without pay than support basic accountability, like requiring warrants to enter homes or ending masked enforcement.

While millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table, Trump has spent over $11 billion on the Iran war in just weeks. So what happened to America First? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal fought alongside US troops in Afghanistan. After trusting America enough to rebuild his life here with his wife and six children, he died less than 24 hours after being detained by ICE. His family deserves answers.

Polling places must remain safe spaces for democracy, not targets for immigration enforcement. Intimidation at the polls has no place in the United States of America.

When customers and workers are afraid to show up because of ICE's terror, small businesses and the local economy suffer. I'm fighting to protect small businesses like Zacatecas and ensure everyone can live without the fear of ICE.

Guardianship is one of the most restrictive actions a court can take. For veterans experiencing homelessness, it should only ever be a last resort. It’s our duty to protect both the well-being and the rights of those who sacrificed so much for our nation.

What voters in California and across the country are demanding is simple: accountability, transparency, and humane immigration enforcement.

Gas prices are nearing $4 per gallon nationwide as the war in Iran continues. Working families shouldn’t have to shoulder the cost of Trump’s war of choice.

My parents and grandparents were among the more than 125,000 Japanese Americans forced from their homes into incarceration camps during WWII. Today, as ICE raids spread fear in immigrant communities, I see echoes of that history: communities targeted and civil liberties pushed aside.

Trump is again pushing baseless election fraud claims and floating the idea of “nationalizing” elections and having Republicans “take over” voting procedures in swing states. This is a direct threat to free and fair elections, and we can’t let him get away with it.

My family was directly impacted by the lies the US government spread about Japanese Americans during WWII. Now, Trump is pushing similar rhetoric about immigrants. We can’t avoid the realities of our past, no matter how uncomfortable they are. It’s how we prevent history from repeating itself.

Trump promised a “roaring economy” in 2026. Instead, the year started with: ❌ 92,000 jobs lost in February ❌ Gas prices up 19% in a month ❌ Stocks falling The economy he promised is looking very different from the one Americans are living in.

Gas prices are rising as Trump’s war with Iran disrupts global oil supply. In one week, the national average has jumped nearly 50 cents, and experts warn prices could reach $4 a gallon if the disruption continues. Families shouldn’t have their budgets thrown into chaos by Trump’s recklessness.

New research shows 132 million more people could be at risk from rising seas than previously thought. This means stronger storms, more flooding, and real threats to our livelihoods. The climate crisis will spare nobody. We must act now.

Every knock on the door bringing news of a fallen servicemember changes a family and community forever. As the conflict in Iran escalates, we have to ask: how many more Americans will have their lives divided into a before and an after?

The President says the affordability crisis is over. Voters and data say otherwise. Working families deserve honesty and actual solutions.

Economic security means more than surviving month to month. And yet, most Americans are now saying they can only afford the basics. What happened to Trump fixing the affordability crisis?

People are waking up to find warehouses in their backyards being converted into detention centers by ICE. We need solutions that are humane and lawful – not warehousing people out of sight.

Oil is surging. Gas prices are climbing. Markets are rattled. Working families are about to pay the price for a war that Congress never authorized.

The Constitution is clear: Congress declares war. Yet, Donald Trump just launched a war with Iran without authorization, without evidence of an imminent threat, and without accountability.

ICE is purchasing warehouses across the country to turn them into detention facilities. Local leaders are often finding out only after the deals are done. Community members are fed up, and rightfully so. Decisions that impact communities shouldn’t happen in the shadows.

SCOTUS blocked Trump’s sweeping tariffs, and instead of respecting the rule of law, he’s attacking the Court and threatening even higher tariffs. Disagreeing with a ruling is one thing. Undermining the Court and threatening retaliation is another. Our democracy deserves better.
