🇺🇸This Memorial Day, we honor and mourn the servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving up their lives for our freedom.
Their service, sacrifice, and bravery will never be forgotten.
George Floyd –– like too many others –– should still be here.
On the anniversary of his death, we must recommit to demanding justice, accountability, and an end to prejudice and hate in our justice system.
I joined @marceelias this week to talk all things voting rights, blocking the Republican SAVE Act, DOGE inefficiency, and more!
Check out our full conversation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccIW...
Yesterday, Republicans in the Senate tried to jam through the SAVE Act –– which would lead to the disenfranchisement of millions of eligible American citizens if passed.
I blocked it.
Republicans want to overturn half a century of precedent to undermine California’s ability to protect the health of our residents.
Why?
Because to them, it’s more important to appease big oil than it is for your kid to breathe clean air.
As far as Republicans are concerned, the biggest issue facing our nation is that the rich aren't rich enough.
That's why they're trying to gut Medicaid despite millions of Americans relying on it for their health care.
To give tax breaks to billionaires.
I won’t sit back and watch as extremist Republicans in the White House and in Congress try to undermine our democracy.
I’m leading the fight to stop this anti-voter agenda.
Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans –– including children and the elderly.
Gutting it should be a non-starter, but for Republicans it's the first item on the chopping block.

ICYMI: While Republicans are working to gut Medicaid and Social Security, Trump is accepting a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar.
For Trump, it’s always about enriching himself and leaving working families behind. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
Standing up to Trump and his attacks on our environmental and public health protections isn’t new for California.
We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.
As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth.
Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy — Trump’s tariffs!
President Trump’s unjustified decision to fire Dr. Carla Hayden as the Librarian of Congress is deeply troubling and just the latest example of Trump’s assault on the legislative branch of government.

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”
The Trump Administration has dismantled regulations and rules that established clean energy policies, protected public lands, and combatted climate change head-on.
This Earth Day, we’re fighting back against these attacks because California will always stand up for the future of our planet.
Wishing a happy and blessed Easter to all who celebrate.
Trump and Republicans want to gut Medicaid and rip health care away from children, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
I won’t stop fighting for the millions of Californians who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need.
Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce.
I was proud to join nurses in San Diego to stand up for our veterans.
Let’s talk about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
🚨NEWS: the House just narrowly passed Republicans' SAVE Act.
GOP House members think they can get away with disenfranchising millions of eligible voters across the country.
I am leading the fight in the Senate to block it.
