Threatening mass firings rather than negotiating to keep the government open is reckless and cruel. We can keep the government open, protect workers, extend the ACA Tax Credits, and lower health care costs this week with a bipartisan agreement.

My Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act would stop this abuse of power. [2/2]
I’m glad Jimmy Kimmel is back on air with the freedom to speak his mind, but that doesn’t change the fact that this never should have happened.
Chairman Carr has weaponized the FCC into a government censorship machine, leaning on broadcasters and silencing critics. That is unacceptable. [1/2]
Now, they have their eye on the Affordable Care Act tax credits that keep vital coverage within reach. Letting them lapse is a deliberate health care cost increase.
Republicans must come to the table, extend the ACA tax credits, keep the government open, and put the people first. [2/2]
Republicans have launched a full-scale assault on the health care of everyday Americans.
They have already made the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. [1/2]
No student should ever have to choose between completing a degree and meeting basic survival needs. Centers like this demonstrate why investing in student success at the federal level is so critical to building a stronger, healthier, and more resilient future for Sacramento. [2/2]
The opening of Sacramento State's Basic Needs Center reflects not only the university’s commitment to its students but also the broader principle that access to higher education must go hand-in-hand with access to essential resources. [1/2]
This is completely unacceptable.
Sacramentans need to take notice. Nexstar is trying to double its footprint in our community. I’ll certainly be watching closely. [3/3]
It’s infuriating but hardly surprising that Sinclair will be putting its right-wing agenda ahead of the interests of its viewers. But it’s especially disappointing to see Nexstar put its pursuit of favor with the FCC on behalf of its multi-billion-dollar merger ahead of the First Amendment. [2/3]
I’ll be tuning into Jimmy Kimmel tonight and certainly hope he will be given the free rein he deserves. But millions of Americans won’t be able to because Sinclair and Nexstar have taken him off the air. [1/3]
That’s why I’ve demanded an inspector general investigation and why Congress must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act to end Trump’s censorship campaign and protect the First Amendment rights of every American. [3/3]
The sequence is unmistakable – government pressure, then suddenly a show critical of Trump disappears from local TV. When Donald Trump can weaponize the FCC to strong arm broadcasters and dictate what Americans see and hear, our democracy is under direct attack. [2/3]
Nexstar pulled Jimmy Kimmel off its stations just days after FCC Chair Carr threatened broadcasters – all while Nexstar’s multi-billion-dollar merger awaits FCC approval. Now they say they will continue to keep him off the air. [1/3]
We are eight days away from the government shutting down and millions of Americans seeing their health insurance prices skyrocket.
Donald Trump is driving the country towards a shutdown.
President Trump and RFK Jr. are peddling full-on conspiracy theories and unproven pseudoscience.
Listen to your doctors, not the nonsensical ramblings of a corrupt administration.

We must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act to ensure that President Trump, or any President, cannot use the FCC to steamroll over the constitution and silence dissent. [4/4]
After immense public outcry, Disney eventually reversed course—proof that the voices of Americans under the protection of the First Amendment are stronger than this administration’s disregard for the Constitution. But, this abuse of power can’t happen again. [3/4]
But the Trump Administration doesn’t see it that way. They’ve twisted the Constitution into a one-way street that only protects them. That’s why President Trump, after years of threats, weaponized the FCC to pressure Disney into pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. [2/4]
The First Amendment is crystal clear. In America, EVERYONE has the freedom to express their ideas, beliefs, and opinions. Our country was built on that principle. [1/4]

Rolling back these standards will result in dirtier air, higher costs, and lost jobs. Climate denial cannot dictate policy. Our future is not for sale. [2/2]
