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.

Republicans are preparing once again to make your air less healthy and unlawfully revoke California’s emissions waivers — all to appease their big oil donors.
Meanwhile the cost of gas continues to rise thanks to Trump’s war with Iran.

One year ago, I was thrown to the ground and handcuffed for daring to ask a question –– but I got back up.
And I won’t stop fighting to ensure that this administration is held accountable for their increasingly cruel anti-immigrant agenda.

Democrats saw this coming.
Republicans did nothing to stop it.
Social Security’s trust fund is now due to run low on money beginning in 2032.
The government acknowledged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tax cuts are expected to contribute to the insolvency. wapo.st/4gbvnoV

The Trump administration is going to deport over two dozen people today, without due process — including 2 Iranian women who came to the U.S. as refugees — to the Central African Republic, a country that the U.S. Government officially recommends against traveling to.
It’s unconscionable. The flight should not proceed.

The ballot box is the beating heart of our democracy—and it’s under threat from AI disinformation and voter suppression efforts.
@SenAlexPadilla and I introduced the FAIR Elections Act to fight back. Every eligible voter should have their voice heard!

One year ago they put me in handcuffs for asking a question.
Tune in as I reflect on what that moment meant for all of us. x.com/i/broadcasts/1YxNrrEOy…

What was that about waste, fraud, and abuse?
The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall has been refilled following President Trump’s renovations.
The project ultimately took six weeks and cost more than $10 million, far more than Trump initially projected. wapo.st/4uspV4H

Add it to the list. While families struggle to afford gas and groceries, Trump's response to rising inflation is "I love it."
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Investing in our elections can help us count faster — but California’s elections are safe, secure, and accessible.
Despite Trump crying foul when an election doesn’t go his way, he has never offered any real proof or evidence of the widespread fraud he claims.

That’s how many babies and toddlers have been in ICE detention in the midst of Trump’s anti-immigration rampage.
Tell me again how he’s only going after “the worst of the worst.”

ICYMI: Trump just signed a bill to give $70 billion to ICE, CBP, and fund his own personal slush fund.
Not a dime to address the cost of living, gas prices, or health care.

Trump promised his war with Iran would be short-lived, but we just surpassed 100 days with no end in sight.
The costs of Trump’s failed war of choice have been staggering — and they continue to mount with each passing day.
