Since today has proven that not every member of my party in the House sees the urgency of dismantling ICE, I want to repost the text of the newsletter I sent out to my campaign supporters today. “Title: ICE's Most Wanted: Preschoolers in Bunny Hats, Heading Home From School” (1/7)

The Trump Administration’s goal is to dismantle the United States of America for their own personal enrichment. Stripping the copper wire from the country for one last corrupt payday. Poisoning the well with our allies is part and parcel of that work. They want to be sure the USA never recovers.

What is the 25th Amendment for, if not this exact situation?

White supremacists are too comfortable in modern America. When in Congress, I look forward to using the full might of the federal government to drive them back into the holes they came from. Only then can we build a better America for all. #mlkday #america #democracy www.tiktok.com/t/ZThkUBuCq/

If you think Trump will stop with Greenland, you’re out of your mind. Brutality is his method. Show weakness and he’ll keep taking. Fight back and he loses interest. He wants whatever he can steal and brutalizing others (even allies) is a benefit for him, not a cost. Congress must stop him.

Come see my speech at @americanriverdems.bsky.social on Jan 21!

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

As I’ve said since the beginning: These people will never stop trying to despoil our public lands. Nothing is sacred to them. They’d put an oil derrick in the Yosemite Valley if they thought it would make them an extra $1000. The GOP has to be stopped.

Murdering a wife and mother. Abducting a baby and giving it a bruise on the cheek. Flashbanging a car full of kids, including a 6 month old. They better fucking hope we only stop at “Abolish ICE”

Threatening our #NATO allies with invasion. Refusing to use the power of #Congress to curb the President’s war in #Venezuela. GOP policy is just “my dad can beat up your dad, so you should let him do whatever he wants to you” forever. Disgusting and un-American.

“Rees said her nephew told her that the agents pressed his face against the pool of blood and did not immediately call paramedics. ‘The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye,’’ she said, recalling what her nephew told her.” Prosecutions are necessary. Now.

Members of Congress have many tools to hold the White House and its minions accountable. I am proud to stand with @crow.house.gov as he does exactly that. This is the aggressive and creative leadership we need to get our country back.

“He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:” - July 4, 1776

I am always proud to stand up for my community, for our country, and for the Constitution. I look forward to holding their enemies accountable in Congress. Video coming soon. #politics #california #democrat #election2026 #usa

This is the right thing to do. I look forward to working with Rep. @angiecraigmn.bsky.social after the midterms to hold DHS and Kristi Noem accountable for their dereliction of duty and illegal conducts.

NATO is the most successful defensive pact in history. Former Soviet republics joined it for a reason: Russia is an aggressive threat to them. Putin wants to destroy NATO for this very reason. Everything this administration does is an act of self-immolation of U.S. interests.

Exhibit 9247 of the Trump Administration being amateur hour for clowns and cretins: Generally it’s a pretty bad idea to attack a country without making any contingencies for your diplomats or your citizens who are already there! #venezuela

The Trump Administration is destroying so much of our country, and doing so illegally. But when we win in the midterms, it won’t be enough just to fight back against the GOP. We also have to build a better future at the same time. Doing both will require the right people. That’s why I’m running.

Official Statement from Tyler Vandenberg on Today’s Minneapolis ICE Shooting

What happened in Minneapolis wasn’t law enforcement. It was murder. Prosecute them. Strip their immunity. Get them the hell out of our communities.

9 Republicans just broke rank to back the Dems effort to revive ACA subsidies that lower healthcare costs for millions. Surely Kevin "Lowing Healthcare Costs" Kiley crossed party lines and voted for this, right? Oh...

Abolishing ICE and prosecuting its members is the only way out of this disaster. Support candidates who are committed to that goal. I am. secure.actblue.com/donate/tv4ca

Trump’s renewed focus on Greenland will not satiate his hunger for new territory. It is not too alarmist to think he may try his “Canada/Mexico 51st State” nonsense again. He has committed many crimes, but attacking and subjugating allies would rank among the worst possible. He must be stopped.

Fire danger is an enormous risk everywhere in California, and climate change is making it worse. Fire service investment is critical. We are fighting a never ending war against the flames here; the State of California is responding appropriately. We need the federal government to do the same.

I grew up with PBS shows. This one hurts. When we win power back, we will need to build a bigger, better public media infrastructure than ever before. That will be a hard task, but Americans of all ages deserve our commitment to the task. #PBS #publicradio www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/b...

He doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t have a plan. He wants everyone else in the world to bend to his will, and he’ll kill to get his way, but he doesn’t actually know how to solve anything. Donald Trump is the most dangerous man alive. Impeach him and his cronies now, before it gets even worse.

Another day, another unconstitutional war from Trump, who thinks the Constitution is a suggestion. Congress has war powers but GOP cowards are hiding under their desks while he kills with our money. MAGA promised peace, delivered chaos. Americans deserve better. Nov 2026 can’t come soon enough.

The American people didn’t vote for this. Congress has not approved this. The President and his goons have no clear strategy. Occupations are hard, dangerous, bloody work, with a price in American lives. War against #Venezuela is a catastrophically bad move and wildly illegal. Impeach him. Now.

Good. Let’s do this for all of Trump’s orders as well when we win.

For everyone who’s wondering what counts as partisan interference in the proper functioning of our nation’s military: This is what that looks like.

Thank you Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for setting the tone for 2026. The crisis in our country is dire; the time for small fixes is over. This is the year in which we will bring back government that can do big, positive things for everyone. The moment demands that we succeed.

After today’s disgraceful display by Trump, it is important to repeat: There is only one way the war can end: victory for Ukraine. Russia will never stop otherwise. The Ukrainian people will never be safe otherwise. And America must always stand by free, democratic nations under attack.

Just so we’re clear here: this is the Trump I Admin using the DOJ improperly to track a leading investigative reporter on the Epstein beat all the way back in 2019. I don’t know what’s in the Files or if the details would end Trump’s career. But Donald Trump clearly believes they would.

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with warmth, hope, and time together. During these moments of reflection, may we remember the importance of community, kindness, and showing up for one another. Here’s to a peaceful holiday and a hopeful year ahead!

The ongoing power outage in San Francisco shows exactly why we need a #GreenGrid: as well as bringing down utility costs and fighting climate change, we can replace our ancient and rickety infrastructure in the process. Our cities and our state’s fire safety need it. #sanfrancisco #california

When we retake power and end this national nightmare, RFK Jr.’s sentence for his crimes should be simple: digging, by hand, a grave for every single child killed by his monstrous policies.

When I say we need to stand up for every one of our LGBTQ+ neighbors, that includes our trans kids and trans adults. Any Democrat who voted for this should be thrown out of the party, full stop. Fight for everyone or get out of the way.

“Pay attention to me and all this nonsense I just made up!” - The President of the United States, this evening. Pathetic.

Chag Sameach to our Jewish friends, neighbors, and community members as you celebrate Hanukkah with your families and loved ones! In this frightening time, our campaign is committed to keeping America safe for every one of our neighbors to worship freely. #hanukkah #holidays #california #america

People ask me: why do I always take time to say that America must be safe for all of our neighbors? Why spend time speaking out for our LGBTQ+ communities and neighbors of all races and colors? Shouldn’t that go without saying? Videos like this are why.

I don’t believe for a second that Pete Hegseth was uninvolved in ordering the illegal follow-up strikes or that it was all Admiral Bradley’s call. This smells distinctly like an attempt by Hegseth to deflect blame. Looking forward to hauling him before Congress and finding out the truth!

This World AIDS Day, we mourn the hundreds of thousands of Americans lost to HIV/AIDS and stand with those living with the diagnosis today. While the Trump Administration refuses to mark this day, California will never abandon our neighbors, friends, and loved ones affected.

Today is World AIDS Day. For the first time since 1988, because of the Trump Administration, the U.S. government is not marking the occasion. The same Administration that destroyed PEPFAR, condemning millions to die of this same disease. A disease that has killed 700,000 Americans since 1981.

Senator Kelly hits this point right on. Donald Trump and his cronies just don’t want anyone who isn’t white in this country; they barely try to conceal it. A disgraceful and un-American position for the President to take. #trump #democrat #usa #politics

Press Statement from Tyler Vandenberg, Democratic Candidate for California’s 6th Congressional District, on the Trump Administration’s ongoing actions against Venezuela. #venezuela #usa #trump #politics #democrat

This is a war crime. We hanged German and Japanese officers for orders like this.

If we believe in freedom as we say we believe, America must provide Ukraine with the tools it needs to win. Words and well wishes are not enough; only the victory of free peoples everywhere can deter dictators and their aggression. #ukraine #ukrainewar #usa #freedom www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrjGTnQ9/

Whatever your political beliefs, the duty of the United States of America must be to stand with free and democratic peoples everywhere. That is why I am unapologetic in my support for Ukraine. #ukraine #trump #ukrainewar #usa #politics #california www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrYQp9Dc/

What a cruel, sick joke DOGE was. It took a chainsaw to people’s lives, cut services, killed jobs, and had to lie about how much money it saved. Now it’s over but the harm it caused isn’t.
