Trump just fired every Advisory Board Member of the National Science Foundation (NSF) – the leading funder of scientific research – with no explanation. Trump continues to illegally undermine and politicize science in ways that will set us back for years.

Trump's war on Iran was illegal from day one – Congress never authorized it. Tomorrow, the statutory 60-day clock runs out too. Republicans are out of excuses and should join Democrats and stop this war. Let's put the pressure on.
www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
Don’t need a study to tell me that housing in San Diego is way too expensive (we ALL know that) – but here’s a new one deeming us the 5th most expensive housing market in the U.S. We need to meet the scale of this crisis and dramatically scale up building.
I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief?
He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.
Section 702 of FISA has allowed the government to spy on the American people for decades – but the rise of AI makes it a lot easier and faster. We can’t let this practice continue unchecked, so I’m still a hard NO on a clean FISA reauthorization.
The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act.
As Justice Kagan writes in her dissent, the Court’s changes don’t just “update” the law – they eviscerate it.
This is a devastating blow to our democracy and undermines decades of progress.
I couldn’t agree more. The lack of sufficient child care options for our military families hurts our readiness because our troops can’t fully focus on their jobs of keeping us safe when they’re worried about their kids.
April is Care Workers Recognition Month. It's so important that we uplift the workers who keep our kids, aging parents, and loved ones with disabilities safe and supported – and ensure their immense value and hard work are reflected in fair pay, benefits, and dignity at work.
Reminder as Karoline Leavitt prepares to go on leave to have her baby: federal employees are entitled to 12 weeks of paid parental leave while only 1 in 3 workers nationwide get ANY paid parental leave.
We need guaranteed paid parental leave for everyone!
The Trump Administration’s slow-rolling of DACA renewals is just another example of their ultimate goal: eliminating legal immigration. This needs to stop now.
When Democrats are in the House majority, we will do real oversight of all illegal strikes, get justice for survivors and those who were killed, and establish guardrails to ensure adherence to international law.
Personally, I’m more worried about the families barely making ends meet that are shelling out extra thousands of dollars from Trump’s tariffs than mega corporations. The American people need relief.
🙋♀️I’m one of the 70% of Americans who believe the U.S. should make a deal to end the war in Iran as quickly as possible. This war is too costly, too reckless, too illegal, and too unpredictable to continue.
Trump’s war in Iran is also threatening our country’s affordable housing supply – when we already don’t have enough! Another reason to permanently end this war now.
ICE detained an Army wife this week at her immigration appointment – where she was literally following the legal process. We can’t make people jump through a ton of hoops and then detain them when they do.
No one wants $3+ gas through 2027. End the war in Iran permanently. And do it now.
Over $1 billion made in perfectly timed bets on the Iran War doesn’t seem like a coincidence. It seems like insider trading. This needs to be investigated immediately.
It’s go-time. We have 8 DAYS to get real reforms and privacy protections in FISA’s Section 702 reauthorization to stop the government from spying on US citizens without a warrant.
I’m working with a bipartisan group of my colleagues to get this done.
I’m saddened by the passing of my colleague Congressman David Scott, who will be remembered as a trailblazer, a civil rights champion, and a passionate advocate for Black farmers and nutrition programs. May his memory be a blessing to his family, friends, and all who knew him.
The U.S. fertility rate has dropped – but not because of birth control. Women need health care, child care, paid leave, and access to fertility care. Instead, the Trump Administration is trying to undermine contraception access and push an anti-choice agenda.
