Did you know that California produces over 90% of the nation’s celery?. What a cool opportunity to visit cilantro and celery fields in Salinas, California. These farmers and farmworkers quite literally feed the nation, and I always appreciate the chance to hear from them and see

Happy 4th!. As we celebrate our freedom today – we do so with the reminder that those freedoms are never free. That our democracy is not guaranteed. And that the American Dream requires work. From all of us – now more than ever.

Going shopping for your 4th of July cookout today? Trump's tariffs are making it a lot more expensive. From beer, to beef, to ice cream – prices are higher than ever. The American people deserve better.

This is not a headline in The Onion. This is just another day in the Trump Administration.

Americans are fair, hardworking, and kind. We're a nation of laws. A nation of opportunity. Tackling and beating a father of three Marines – snatched from his landscaping worksite?. That is not who we are. And that will never make America great.

The Big Ugly Bill continues the GOP's crusade against reproductive healthcare by defunding Planned Parenthoods – including the 115 health centers in California. That means basic access to healthcare stripped away from millions of women. The fight isn’t over. I'm doing.

The big winners with Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill?. Rich people. Corporations. And … polluters. Check this out.

In all of my years of public service, this Big Ugly Bill is one of the most shameful and selfish acts I've ever seen. But it still needs to pass the House. And we are not going to stop fighting this thing.

The sun has risen over the Capitol. We've been voting on amendments to the Big Ugly Bill for 21 hours. Republicans can't find the votes to pass this monstrosity – so they're wheeling and dealing. And making a bad bill even worse.

- Protect families from corporate predators.- Ensure labor and delivery units stay open.- Protect nursing homes from closing.- Cut red tape.- Reduce healthcare costs.- Expand the Child Tax Credit . And the night is still young….

- Prevent crypto corruption by the President.- Stop the defunding of Planned Parenthood.- Ensure veterans aren't fired en masse from the federal government.- Preserve Medicaid for those getting substance use disorder treatment.- Protect small businesses from Trump's trade war.

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up. Tonight Republicans have blocked amendments that would:. - Protect food assistance for veterans and families with children.- Stop tax cuts for multi-billionaires.- Save 20 million people from losing healthcare. (🧵).

How do you make the argument that feeding hungry kids is "a waste?". And yet, that's exactly the argument that Senate Republicans made tonight.

I just offered a simple motion on the Senate floor. Stop the Big Ugly Bill from ripping food assistance away from families with kids under 12. Republicans blocked it.

Off to yet another vote in this "vote-a-rama" on the Big Ugly Bill. We've been forcing Republicans to own every, single destructive piece of this bill. And we're not letting up now.

ICE should be focused on violent criminals – not innocent farmworkers. I hope my Republican colleagues agree.

These are the stories I have been hearing from those who will be affected by the harsh measures in this bill. People, in red and blue states, whose lives will be affected by Trump's Big Ugly cuts to programs like SNAP.
