California's elections are not rigged. Trump isn't even on the ballot today and he's still pushing baseless conspiracy theories to undermine confidence in our elections. But Californians are having none of it.

Great to have CSU San Marcos President Ellen Neufeldt visit our nation's capital. To support the groundbreaking research being done at CSUSM, we need to ensure access to critical federal funds. I’m doing all I can to make it so.

Today is Election Day, California. Make your plan to vote — your ballot is your voice.

Donald Trump said ICE raids haven't gone far enough. Kristi Noem said no citizens have been detained in these raids. But we know the truth. Because we have story after heartbreaking story that proves otherwise. Listen to these brave Americans in their own words.

In September, the administration gave Congress notice of the first strikes on boats in the Caribbean “consistent with the War Powers Resolution.” Now, after 60 days, it says the Resolution does not apply, claiming that these strikes do not constitute hostilities.

⁨⁨California sued to ensure millions of families don't go hungry this week because of Donald Trump. The court sided with us. Now the administration must stop dragging its feet, follow the court order, and fully fund SNAP benefits before families go hungry.⁩⁩

The law is clear. As USDA’s own staff earlier agreed. And now the law is upheld. Donald Trump cannot withhold SNAP food assistance to inflict even more pain during his shutdown.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

More than five million Californians, including children and seniors, rely on food assistance.  Trump’s refusal to provide SNAP benefits will force millions to go hungry.   There’s no policy behind this. Just cruelty.

Paying more for your coffee? A bipartisan Senate voted last night to cancel Trump's tariffs on Brazilian coffee. Why the tariff? Because Donald Trump likes their old wannabe dictator who tried to overturn his last election. While Trump cozies up to autocrats, your costs go up.

More Americans are having trouble making their car payments. That’s concerning for a lot of reasons. Here’s why 👇

Donald Trump flirting with a third term is nothing new. I broke down this dangerous idea back in March. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLjs...

Donald Trump is abusing the pardon power as a means of rewarding his family, his allies & his wealthy donors. I'm headed to the floor with @warren.senate.gov to attempt to pass a resolution condemning his pardon of crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao—the latest in a long string of corrupt clemencies.

Good morning to all the bleary-eyed Californians who stayed up to watch Freddie Freeman's instant classic Game 3 winner! 🔵 Go Dodgers! 🔵

Deploying troops and federal agents to California's cities has never been about crime or public safety. Or quelling some kind of insurrection. For Donald Trump, it has always been about control.

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are willing to DOUBLE the health care costs for millions of people. It’s shameful.

The Roberts Court is now on the verge of erasing one of the key achievements of the Civil Rights Era. And with it, diluting minority voting strength and doubling down on gerrymanders that could install a permanent Republican majority in Congress.

Donald Trump's deployment of federal agents to San Francisco will not make the city safer or improve the quality of life for residents. It will only serve to inflame tensions, which is tragically what the president seeks. 🧵

Another illegal military strike on a boat — this time in the Pacific — broadening the Administration’s deadly campaign to another ocean. Once again, there is no detail on who was killed or why. The urgency increases: Congress must stop America from being dragged into another war.

Steve Witkoff promised to divest of his crypto assets linked to the Trump family’s crypto schemes. But 10 months in, and he still hasn’t. So many of these assets involve Middle East countries with an interest in U.S. policy. The conflicts of interest are massive. We need answers.

Trump may soon try to justify his abuse of our armed forces by invoking the Insurrection Act. Today, I joined my colleagues to advance legislation that would stop him.

For three weeks the government has been shut down. For three weeks, people’s health costs have spiked. And the President and Republicans in Congress are having a picnic? It’s no picnic for the American people.

This is the reality of Donald Trump’s America. Another parent of a U.S. service member gets deported. On his way to pick up his pregnant daughter. While wearing his “Proud to be the father of a U.S. Marine hat.” This is cruelty as policy.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower. As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in California and across the world! During this Festival of Lights, may good triumph over evil, and light over darkness.

Only in Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon does this apparently need to be said: We should not be firing live artillery over our freeways.

This Trump government shutdown is not like his last one.  That was about building a wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.   This is about raising health care costs for millions of Americans.    It’s time to end the shutdown and fix the Republican-made health care crisis.

Two and a half centuries ago, a handful of farmers and printers and philosophers looked across an ocean at the most powerful man in the world — and said no to a king. Today, in town and cities across America, we again say No Kings.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s attacks on California's flood control projects started long before this shutdown. This flimsy pretext should not distract from the fundamental truth of his presidency: Trump is only interested in representing states that voted for him. He is half a president.

⁨Congress has not authorized military force against Venezuela. But the Trump administration has made it clear they may not stop at boat strikes in the Caribbean. We must stop the U.S. from being dragged–intentionally or accidentally–into full-fledged war in South America.

Good.

Using taxpayer dollars for propaganda has been illegal for nearly 75 years. That hasn't stopped Donald Trump.

Let this renewed threat against San Francisco be a warning to every community: Trump will not stop with L.A., Portland, D.C., or Chicago. Your city could be next. Using our servicemembers for law enforcement is illegal, and I'm prepared to do everything I can to block this threatened deployment.

This will happen if Republicans refuse to work with Democrats on a deal to end this government shutdown.    It’s what I'm fighting to prevent.

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law. I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

First, Republicans passed the largest health care cut in history, gutting Medicaid and putting hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes across states at risk of closure. Then, they shut down the government rather than work with Democrats to fix it. Every day of the Trump Shutdown is hurting families.

Donald Trump has been firing people who protect your health, safety and pocketbook, and who keep our country safe. The shutdown is just his latest excuse for these purges.

The President’s authorities under Article II are limited to responding to an armed attack/the threat of one and do not apply here. These continued strikes — 27 killed to date — risk getting the U.S. into a full fledged war.

This is the face of the health care crisis in America.    It’s what I’m fighting to change.

I'm relieved to see familes reuniting today in Israel, as Hamas has finally released the remaining Israeli hostages after more than 700 days of horrible captivity. May this important and overdue moment pave the way to a full and lasting end to these years of bloodshed.

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month. Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families. And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president? Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.

The president has made no secret of his enemies list. But we will not be intimidated. We will not be deterred. We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

Instead of working with Democrats to protect health care and reopen the government, Republicans are continuing to double down on their strategy of inflicting maximum pain on the American people. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI. Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer. If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?

I’m encouraged by the framework reached to release the remaining hostages, end hostilities, surge humanitarian aid, and bring this war closer to its overdue end. The success of this deal, and the prospects for peace, rely on its implementation.

BREAKING: I just forced a vote with Senator Kaine to block the unauthorized boat strikes in the Caribbean. In an important step forward, the vote was bipartisan, even if it fell two votes short.

Another day. Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents. What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out? While we still have a democracy left.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea. Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.
