You may have heard Republicans are pursuing something called a “reconciliation” bill.
Things can get a bit wonky, so let's simplify it.
Here's what Republicans want:
✅Billions upon billions more $ for ICE and CBP
❌Funding to help you afford health care, food, and housing

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
The history of this day is rooted in California. We must speak out with the same collective voice that created Earth Day all those years ago in order to protect our beaches, coastal economies, marine life, and our planet.
By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists.
These intimidation tactics won't succeed.
Instead of fighting to lower costs, Republicans are fighting to give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion.
Which makes these agencies better funded than the FBI, DEA, ATF and all of the other federal law enforcement agencies — combined.
From UFC fights on the White House lawn to a massive, gaudy arch, Trump is laser-focused on his pet projects.
Something he's not focused on?
Your costs. youtu.be/A4FkV1MG1go?...
Kash Patel tries to save his job by emulating Trump in every way.
Spend more time targeting perceived enemies than doing your job.
Criticize the media for doing theirs.
And, when in doubt — try to cash in.
The Trump admin wants access to the personal medical records of millions of federal workers, including their medical visits, prescriptions, and treatment histories.
This is just wrong.
I'm urging them to reserve course on this dangerous decision, which puts Americans’ privacy at risk.
With the administration making the work of public educators more and more difficult, I'm grateful for CSBA and ACSA’s steadfast leadership and commitment.
I look forward to continuing to work with them to ensure every K-12 student has the opportunity to succeed.
Armenians do not waver in speaking truth to power and in fighting for justice.
I joined ANCA and ARAMAC to recommit our fight in standing up to Azerbaijan's continued aggression, their efforts to erase Armenian culture and history, and insist on the release of Armenian POWs.
With the ever-worsening climate crisis, the EPA must take direct action to mitigate the climate risks on Superfund sites across the state and country.
I joined Rep. Kamlager Dove and @cleaver.house.gov to ensure we are putting the public’s health first.
Libraries are critical for incarcerated Americans seeking to get the education and skills they need to successfully reenter society.
I’m introducing two bills with @cleaver.house.gov to expand library resources and reduce recidivism.
Trump—who for years cozied up to Erdogan amidst Turkey’s backsliding democracy—called off a criminal case against a Turkish bank accused of laundering over $20B for Iran to evade sanctions.
We need answers from Trump’s DOJ about this betrayal of American victims of Iranian state-sponsored terror.
The historic Artemis II mission was an inspiration to millions as we begin a new era of space exploration.
Congress must deliver NASA the funding it needs to continue our exploration of the Moon, and move on to the ultimate challenge — Mars.
California is the epicenter of America's housing crisis.
Proud to have support from leaders across California as I continue to push for my bill to build millions of new homes and make life more affordable for Californians.
Even in its final year, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver critical investments for modernizing & improving CA commutes.
Proud to partner with @padilla.senate.gov and @rephuffman.bsky.social to deliver $3 million+ for a new bridge in Smith River and reduce traffic in Annapolis.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we continue to honor the survivors and mourn the millions lost.
We also recommit ourselves to the fight against antisemitism here at home and abroad.
And together we must say: Never Again.
Step one in creating a culture of corruption and lawlessness?
Promise impunity.

The Presidio Trust is a national treasure.
The Trust was written into a law — authored by Nancy Pelosi and passed by a Republican Congress — it has received the same bipartisan support ever since.
President Trump’s continued partisan attacks on it must end.
Proud to have secured $5.3 million in federal dollars headed directly to Kern County communities.
This funding will support critical infrastructure and rural health care improvements, and workforce training, ensuring California gets the investments it deserves.
