This Labor Day, we honor the people who make America thrive. The farmworkers who put food on our tables, the workers who build our cities, the firefighters who keep us safe, the teachers who educate our kids and so many others. Their fight for fair pay and dignity continues. We must stand with them.

Costs. Chaos. Corruption. These three words define the Trump presidency.
Higher costs. Widespread chaos. Rampant corruption.
In California, we’re pushing back with the Election Rigging Response Act to put an end to the madness and hold this president accountable.

If Texas Republicans go there, California will fight fire with fire.
Because here’s the reality: MAGA policies are so unpopular they have to resort to rigging the rules and congressional maps to stay in power.
Don’t think so. We’ll stop this last gasp of a power grab.

NASA was born 67 years ago today, inspiring a new era of exploration and discovery.
If America is going to lead the next Moon landing, the next clean energy breakthrough, or the next lifesaving vaccine we must invest in – not cut – scientific research.

🚨Immigration judges are blowing the whistle — Trump is firing them to rig the courts and prevent due process and justice.
This is a direct attack on the rule of law. First, it’s immigrants. Who do you think is next?
We’re fighting back in the Senate to stop this abuse of power.

Trump’s cruel raids are bad for the economy.
They are on track to cost billions in lost productivity and tax revenue.
Not to mention the immeasurable toll on communities and families.

Sending active‑duty Marines into Los Angeles was never warranted — a provocative overreach that inflamed tensions, bypassed state authority, and misappropriated the valuable resources of our armed forces.

Trump’s policies are so unpopular they’re making congressional Republicans vulnerable of losing their House majority. His solution? MAGA map-rigging.
