For 40 years, my dad worked as a short-order cook and my mom cleaned houses. It’s because of their hard work and sacrifices that I stand here today, ready to preserve and fight for the American Dream.

I’m deeply relieved to see hostages reunited with their loved ones and Palestinians beginning to rebuild as many return home. After so much pain and loss in this war, today offers us renewed hope that a more lasting peace is still within our reach.

I’ve said it before: Trump deploying the National Guard in LA was just a test run for his illegal militarization of Democratic cities.    We’ve seen it in LA and DC, and now Portland and Chicago. Who can say where it will be next?    Stop using our servicemembers as political

What do Democrats mean when we say that Republicans want to double your health care costs?   Take this 45 year old couple in Humboldt county for example. Under Trump and Republicans’ plan, their health care costs would rise $1,290 a MONTH.    Democrats are trying to work with

Trump ran on a promise to lower the cost of living on day one.    Instead, inflation is soaring, the job market is crashing, and health care premiums are set to more than DOUBLE.    And instead of taking responsibility and working to find solutions, MAGA Republicans have shutdown

Trump’s vindicative decision to cancel $8 billion in federal funding for energy projects is yet another example of his political retribution against California and his willingness to punish any state that didn’t vote for him.    We’re not gonna let him get away with this.

🏅A historic week for California’s universities! Congratulations to the UC faculty and alumni that won 5 Nobel Prizes in 3 days — setting a new world record. I won’t stop fighting against Trump’s attacks on California’s premier research universities.

The purpose of the annual defense authorization bill is to ensure our military has the authorities and resources it needs to protect our national security.    But right now, our troops are being pulled away from their core missions and forced to intimidate Americans in their own

Trump is more focused on his failed Nobel prize campaign than re-opening the government and saving your healthcare premiums from doubling.

If Republicans had it their way, this family of four in Alameda County would pay $1,595 more a month for their health care coverage.    That isn't just tough to budget for –– it's impossible for so many.     Democrats are fighting to stop this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @CAgovernor! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Children forced from their homes in the middle of the night. Americans handcuffed because of their appearance. A priest shot in the head with a pepper ball for praying. This isn’t the America I know and love –– it’s Trump’s authoritarian state in the making.

Angela and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Kent Wong. A longtime activist and leader in the labor and immigrant rights movement, Kent was a force for good and his impact will be felt for generations to come. Our thoughts are with his family and all of those who

Immigrants with no criminal record are now the largest group in ICE detention. Yet the FBI is reassigning a quarter of its agents away from drug trafficking, terrorism, and counterintelligence to serve Trump’s mass deportation agenda. How does that make us safer?

Donald Trump and Republicans are clinging to power by any means necessary. Their latest move? Laying the groundwork to purge voter rolls to leave millions of eligible Americans unable to have their voice heard in our elections. We're not going to let them get away with it.

When we talk about Republicans marching us towards a health care crisis, this is what we mean. A 60-year-old couple in Monterey County bracing for a $3,778 monthly spike in their coverage costs –– that’s a 629% increase. Republicans are responsible for these price hikes.

Trump is using American military members to intimidate cities and states that didn’t vote for him.   Now he’s calling for the arrest of Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker.    This is not about public safety. This is about silencing political opponents.

A priest was peacefully praying outside of an ICE facility.    Trump's masked federal immigration agents shot him in the head from a rooftop with a pepper ball.   Is this what “law and order” looks like in Trump’s America? 

In January, the nation watched in horror as the Palisades Fire engulfed entire neighborhoods. Homes were reduced to ash and families were left to mourn everything they had lost. Today’s arrest of the suspected Palisades Fire arsonist is a step toward justice for the thousands

Republicans’ attacks on health care in America aren’t hypothetical –– it’s life or death for millions of Californians.    People like Aisha, a single mom who won’t be able to afford both her mortgage and health care for her child.    Or Patricia from Humboldt County, who lives in
