Teachers are putting in the hard work to ensure the next generation has the skills to keep changing the world. I spoke with @aft.org and their National President Randi Weingarten about the need for greater investments in education to guarantee students have every opportunity to succeed.

AI is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape. Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of AI.

Firing an education oversight official who refuses to give in to the Department’s pressure is Trump’s Dept. of Education’s latest intimidation tactic. We must end the brazen politicization of a bipartisan and independent committee.

It was a pleasure hosting Californians at the nation’s capitol and addressing their thoughts and concerns. If you are visiting DC, be sure to check on dates for our constituent breakfasts — it would be great to see you.⁩

After Watergate, the Presidential Records Act aimed to preserve official White House records to ensure transparency. Now Trump's DOJ is seeking to evade it. The White House is not above the law. I’m demanding answers.
Senate Democrats press White House over loosened record-keeping policy
The White House's new policy for preserving presidential records risks allowing the Trump administration to "unlawfully destroy important records," Senate Democrats warn.

The War Powers Act is clear. If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this. Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.
Exclusive: Schiff tests GOP ahead of Iran war’s 60th day
Republicans are talking a lot about their concerns with an unauthorized war after more than 60 days, and the California Democrat says this is their chance to act.

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.
Supreme Court weakens a landmark Civil Rights-era law and aids GOP efforts to control the House
The Supreme Court has weakened a landmark Civil Rights-era law that has increased minority representation in Congress and elsewhere.

As King Charles visits the U.S., it’s worth reflecting on the status of one of our most important alliances. We have ignored and assailed the British to the point where we are at war with Iran, and without a friend to be found.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govApr 27(source)
I'm fighting to build an economy that works for everyone, with housing people can afford and good safe neighborhoods. Glad to have partners like Rise Economy who are doing such important work.

Proud to have secured $2.2 million in federal investments for South Lake Tahoe. These critical dollars will bolster housing supply and strengthen local water infrastructure for the Tahoe community.
Sen. Schiff funds STPUD water project, housing at 3900 Lake Tahoe Boulevard
