Donald Trump promised to lower costs for American consumers.
His tariffs do the opposite. They are a tax on hardworking American families.

This will further reduce access to care and increase wait times for essential services for veterans.
This is unacceptable. VA facilities should be fully staffed so every veteran can get the timely, high-quality care they deserve.
Most are direct care providers including nurses, doctors and specialists in critical areas like mental health, surgery, cancer treatment, and heart care.
Instead of addressing these shortages, the Trump Administration plans to cut 29,000 VA jobs by the end of September.
The independent watchdog for the Department of Veterans Affairs has identified severe staffing shortages at the VA Northern California Health Care System in Mather. 🧵

Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is driving a major transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest.
This is not what supporting working families looks like.

This law includes federal protections to ensure that no married LGBTQ+ or interracial couple will have to fear that their marriage will be invalidated by conservatives on the Supreme Court.
The fight is not over. We must protect the freedom to marry who you love, wherever you live.
I will always fight to defend marriage equality from extreme attacks.
That’s why I proudly voted for the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022, which was signed into law by President Biden.

We know what works in Sacramento County: local law enforcement partnering with the communities they serve to build trust and prevent crime.
This approach is effective, sustainable, and avoids putting both our troops and our communities at undue risk.
Crime is a serious concern.
Sending in the National Guard is not the answer.
They lack the training to police civilian populations and their presence risks undermining trust between residents and law enforcement.
When President Trump deployed National Guard troops into LA, I said he was doing so to inflame tensions and provoke a response to justify further crackdowns.
That’s exactly what he’s doing now in DC.

President Trump knows that he is unpopular and that his policies are hurting the American people.
That’s why he's trying to cheat, break the rules, and manipulate data to hold on to power.
This is not what the American people want.
Their service and sacrifice are an enduring reminder of the cost of our freedoms.
On Purple Heart Day, we honor the extraordinary courage of our servicemembers who were wounded or gave their lives in defense of our great nation.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of presenting the Purple Heart to brave veterans and their families who call Sacramento County home.

I’m thinking of my friend John Lewis today on the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.
John was severely beaten by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for marching for the right to vote. Those harrowing images shocked the nation and helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
With nuclear brinksmanship once again on the rise, the United States must lead and take concrete steps to reduce the possibility that nuclear weapons are ever used again.
The consequences of complacency are simply too high.
Today marks 80 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
In 2023, I visited Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park and reflected on the immense human toll of that day. It was a powerful and sobering reminder of the devastating consequences of nuclear warfare.
Canceling nearly $500 million in mRNA vaccine funding undermines our public health readiness, weakens our national security, and abandons the very innovation that helped lead us out of the deadliest public health crisis in a century.
This groundbreaking technology remains one of our most powerful tools to prevent future pandemics and develop life-saving treatments for cancer, influenza, and other serious respiratory illnesses.
