If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

Israel's blockade of food and humanitarian aid entering Gaza has caused catastrophic mass starvation and death.

By continuing to supply Israel with military aid, the U.S. is complicit in this bloodbath.

There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?
