Following the President’s action in Iran, California’s State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for any potential impacts in California. While there are no specific or credible counter threats we’re aware of at this time, we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.

I voted HELL NO on Frank Bisignano — Trump's disastrous pick to lead the Social Security Administration.

As I said last night, Frank is a DOGE crony who wants to rubber stamp Elon Musk's illegal attacks on Americans' Social Security benefits.

We will fight him at every turn.

On top of billions in cuts, Republicans want to add more red tape, AKA more paperwork, for people to get Medicaid.

What happens when people can't get care through Medicaid? They go to the emergency room, which is way more expensive.

⚡️Russian soldiers executed 3 unarmed Ukrainian POWs in Donetsk Oblast, prosecutors say.

The execution of prisoners of war is a breach of the Geneva Conventions and qualifies as an international crime.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.

Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Native women and girls face appalling levels of violence that is often ignored.

I'm proud to cosponsor the resolution designating today the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls as we work to raise awareness around this deadly epidemic.

Just got off the phone with Mrs Sicknick and just more slaps in the face with this settlement. She asked "why did my son die" (in response to all the whitewashing that is being done about January 6th) if it was a day of love, why is my son dead"

Total miscarriage of justice

Major victory for online safety: Congress passed my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act with Senator Cruz this week to protect victims of nonconsensual intimate images, including AI deepfakes — and ensure social media companies take those images down. Proud to get this done!

Trump is sending people off to a torture prison in El Salvador with absolutely NO due process & NO transparency.

There are many people who were here legally, who have no criminal record, whose families have no idea if they're even alive.

It's barbaric, and it's unconstitutional.

For how long can we trust government economic data and quarterly reports? They have been the basis of worldwide economic and financial decisions for many decades. Are we confident the Administration won’t seek to skew the data?
