A few questions among many that Donald Trump avoided today, and the American people deserve an answer to:
— What is the Trump Administration’s actual plan to “run” Venezuela?
— Will President Trump deploy American troops to Venezuela? If so, how many and at what cost?
Donald Trump is clear: he launched this war to remove a foreign leader and now he claims the U.S. will “run the country.”
In other words, Donald Trump wants the U.S. to be an occupying power and control the oil.
We have to continue to fight this.
Donald Trump may want to make oil spills great again, but Californians don’t.
During my first year in office, I have visited nearly half of California’s 58 counties.
Wherever I go, I ask the same question: how can I help?
It is the honor of a lifetime to serve the Golden State in the Senate.
Onto 2026.
This is a long overdue win for the rule of law as the Trump administration is forced to end its illegal deployment of our service members.
My thoughts are with the members of the National Guard who are finally headed home to their families.
Over this past year, it has been an honor to serve as Senator for California — fighting for our families, bringing new investments back to communities, and meeting incredible people in every corner of the Golden State.
More below.
Congress will reconvene in one week.
When we return, we need four Republicans in Congress to stand with us and reassert that Congress, and only Congress, has the power to authorize military action against Venezuela.
The new year cannot bring a new endless war over regime change.
The solution to our housing crisis? More housing. A lot more.
My Housing BOOM Act would spur construction and jobs just like when we built millions of new affordable homes after World War II for returning GIs.

Thanks to my request with @padilla.senate.gov, and @lofgren.house.gov, the Energy Department will be auditing Donald Trump’s cancellation of dozens of clean energy projects in California and across the country — cancellations that cost thousands of jobs and will drive up energy bills even further.
Californians have paid more than $1,000 in Trump Taxes this year thanks to the President’s tariffs — making housing, groceries, and everyday goods more expensive.
And with inflation still driving up prices, the cost of living under Donald Trump could climb even higher in 2026.
Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California.
Now five more on the East Coast.
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy.
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?
Check your utility bill next year and you will see.
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today. May this holiday season inspire us all to find peace and comfort in the moments shared with our loved ones.
This is yet another chilling example of how far the Trump administration will go in service of his billionaire enablers.
Hate speech and harm to kids online have exploded, and now the administration is targeting those working to combat it.
Their greed knows no bounds.
Nearly one year ago, Southern California’s communities were tested by devastating fires.
This holiday season gives us a chance to show our resilience — rising from the ashes to renew the traditions we hold dear like the world-famous Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena.
The overwhelming majority of the American people and even the Roberts Court agree: this unlawful weaponization of our National Guard must end.
It is long past time for our servicemembers to return to their homes and stop being deployed against their own communities.

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane".
Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)".
Stop breaking the the law.
Release ALL the Files.
"Of the 346 donors identified by the Times, at least 197 have benefited, or are in industries that have benefited, from policies or actions of Mr. Trump or his administration."
This is corruption in plain sight.

And large corporations with media holdings have decided to self-censor to appease a wannabe dictator.
This is how democracies die.
