Trump failed to get congressional approval to use military force – risking American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war.
My colleagues and I are demanding that the Trump admin share a clear plan with Congress and the American people, and keep American service members and civilians safe.

(3/3) Congressional Republicans must stop giving constitutional power to a lone want to be king. I oppose usurping congressional power, from domestic policymaking, budgetary spending, trade, and now to national security.
(2/3) There were diplomatic and strategic alternatives to address the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but they were ignored. What may seem ‘successful’ in the moment is more likely to lead to awful ramifications for our service members, national security, and our global credibility.
(1/3) Without consulting Congress or the American people, President Trump has unilaterally launched a military strike that risks dragging us into another war. This isn’t just dangerous—it’s a direct violation of the constitution and Congress’s authority to declare war.
Trump could have celebrated the Army's 250th anniversary with respect and recognition, but instead he threw a $45 million parade for his birthday.
On top of firing thousands of veterans and cutting funds for military housing, Trump is once again showing fundamental disrespect.
Bay Area Congressional Delegation statement in response to Customs and Border Protection inexplicably detaining travelers at San Francisco International Airport (SFO):
This is yet another flagrant and unlawful overreach by Trump.
California has operated its own policies under the Clean Air Act since Reagan was Governor — and rolling back our ability to clean up our air is a direct attack on our state's right to protect public health.
In Republicans' Big Billionaire Tax Giveaway bill, they're slashing the food assistance and health care millions of Americans depend on every single day. On #TheFlipSide, House Democrats are doing everything we can to protect these programs.
The Trump administration already grossly overreacted by sending troops to a protest – and now Secretary Noem had Senator Padilla forcibly detained because he asked a question.
These alarming displays of undemocratic, authoritarian conduct have gone too far.
As if House Republicans and the Trump admin aren't already doing enough favors for their Big Oil donors, they're now trying to open our coastline to offshore drilling. On #TheFlipSide, I'm fighting for our coastal communities here in Congress.
The House GOP budget already devastates millions of Americans.
And now, Senate Republicans might make it even worse by slashing Medicare and compromising seniors' health care they've earned through a lifetime of hard work.
We are standing firm against this big, ugly boondoggle.
Trump’s deployment of California National Guard soldiers to the LA streets is not only a reckless power grab - but it also endangers public safety.
We demand that Trump rescind his unlawful deployment, reinstate local control, and respect Americans' constitutional rights.
To all protestors: please express yourselves in a peaceful, nonviolent manner and don’t give Trump what he wants!
(1/2) I condemn and oppose Trump’s illegal commandeering and deployment of the CA National Guard and his reported deployment of US Marines to Los Angeles.
Trump is looking for excuses to deploy the military domestically, shut down political opposition, and cross the Rubicon into dictatorship.
Since Trump took office, 264 lawsuits have been filed that directly challenge his illegal agenda – and over 191 have already blocked or paused his lawless pursuits.
We've never seen this level of illegal government action, and we will keep pushing back from every angle.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and goods all across the country, and Trump’s best solution is to bicker on social media with his newly demoted billionaire sidekick.
We need to be focusing on the issues that really matter.
The GOP Tax Scam is beyond damaging to our environment – it revokes funding from programs that combat climate change, reduce air pollution, and create economic opportunity in frontline communities.
We're working around the clock to stop these harmful policies from becoming law.
NOAA's weather forecasts and climate data are free, accurate, and life-saving - but Project 2025 and extreme Republicans want to gut the agency, silence scientists, and hand over weather forecasts to private corporations.
We must protect federal workers and fight for the truth.
From defending America's coastlines to preventing offshore drilling to protecting precious ecosystems, ocean stewardship has always been at the heart of my public service.
I was incredibly honored to receive the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation's Ocean Leadership Award.
Democrats are united in fighting to stop Republicans' devastating budget from becoming law.
Republicans are acting as nothing more than a rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme and reckless agenda, and everyday Americans are going to pay the price of their spinelessness.
