California’s coast is not for sale. Offshore drilling isn’t just reckless. It’s a threat to our communities, our economy, and our clean‑energy future. Here in California, we’ll always lead with innovation, protect our coast, and put people over Big Oil. https://t.co/aRBIRH7XPw

My forever Congresswoman. Madam Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s leadership reshaped our state, our nation, and what women in power look like. Her announcement today marks the end of an era, but her legacy lives in every California child who now knows a woman can lead the House,

Yesterday’s overwhelming victory with the passage of Prop 50 made it clear: Californians are NOT backing down. In the face of Trump’s threats and fear tactics, voters organized, mobilized, and delivered a nearly 2 to 1 victory. The message to Washington is unmistakable:

California didn’t start this redistricting fight, but we refuse to sit it out. We will not let partisan maps silence communities, erase representation, or rig our democracy. Republicans are trying to lock in minority rule by drawing lines to drown out voices. Not here. Not

California, I just opened my mail-in ballot to vote YES on Prop 50! This special election is our chance to put power back in the hands of the people, with fair, transparent maps that sunset in 2030. Vote early, by mail, or on Election Day — but make sure you vote YES on 50!

More political theatre nonsense from the Trump administration — and this time, it resulted in flying shrapnel that put our brave CHP officers in unnecessary danger. This is exactly the reason why part of I-5 was temporarily closed to the public yesterday.

More unacceptable, irresponsible, political theatre from Donald Trump. California does not need MAGA to be great. Thanks, but no thanks.
Trump: The difference is I think they want us in San Francisco. San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago it went woke. We’re going to go to San Francisco. We’re going to make it great.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

For two long years, families have waited for this day. I join global leaders in welcoming the release of the October 7th hostages and the long-overdue ceasefire. I’m praying for those finally reunited with loved ones and grieving for those who cannot come home. May this mark a
Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages held in Gaza on Monday, as part of a cease-fire pausing two years of war that saw Israelis kill thousands of Palestians.
