Husband. Father. U.S. Senator for California. Fighting for an economy that works for everyone and for our democracy.
Grocery prices are still going up for American families.

And there is nothing in Venezuela or Greenland that is going to change that.

How about focusing closer to home?

Save Big Oil a buck or save a life?

Easy choice, says the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

Trump is clearly ready to turn his illegal use of our military on other countries around the world.

The only thing he says can stop him? His “own morality."

This, from a man with no ethical compass. The Senate must stop him.

Let’s be clear:

Targeting Jerome Powell is just the latest escalation of Trump's corrupt weaponization of the government in his pursuit of unfettered power.

These actions will only weaken the economy, even as they threaten to chill and silence the president’s critics. Powell is right to speak out.

If the administration believes that risking our servicemembers is worth going into another country for oil, let them come to Congress for a vote.

But that is certainly not putting America first.

It has no place in our society, and we must call it out in the strongest possible terms and ensure accountability.

Horrified by the vile attack on the Beth Israel Congregation, and praying for Jackson, Mississippi’s Jewish community tonight.

Across the country, we are seeing a disturbing rise in antisemitic hate speech and violence. 🧵

Natural disasters don't discriminate between party, nor should parties discriminate between disasters when Americans are in need of help.

The California delegation, @padilla.senate.gov and I are urging the Trump admin to deliver the federal aid Los Angeles needs to rebuild, and to do it now.

While Americans are struggling to afford health care and groceries, Trump is more concerned about sending $100,000 each to the citizens of Greenland.

I guess it's Denmark First now.

Congratulations to Cal Poly and Cal Poly Pomona students for taking the top award at this year’s Rose Parade!

California is home to some of the greatest colleges and universities in the world, and I applaud these students’ ingenuity and creativity.

If anyone blockaded the U.S., launched a military operation to make an arrest on U.S. soil, let alone seized our natural resources, and killed civilians in the process, we'd consider it an act of war.

Nor can it blame the West for its own failures. These massive protests are born of the desire of the Iranian people to live in liberty and peace.

I stand with the people of Iran speaking out and risking their lives to demand a better life for themselves and their children.

The repressive and dictatorial Iranian regime must end its crackdown on demonstrators. 🧵

Don't let this administration fool you.

The real reason behind this meddling in Venezuela is less about drugs than it is about dollars. Oil dollars.

This tactic is not making our country safer. Far from it.

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant.

We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.

Now is the time for Senate Republicans to join us, or to explain to the American people why they think rising health care costs are a good idea.
January 8, 2026 at 11:02 PM
There are no more excuses:

The Senate must take up and pass this clean three-year extension of ACA health care tax credits.

Americans’ monthly health care premiums have already spiked.

First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs.

Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S.

In order to create a presidential slush fund.

Same corrupt regime in Venezuela.

And at home.

Finally, the Senate is exercising its constitutional power over the authorization of the use of force to prevent America from being dragged into a new war over oil.

The Trump Administration is planning to gut emergency workers and disaster preparation efforts.

As we mark one year since some of California’s worst fires, this will make our communities less safe and more prone to repeat disasters.
