Captain Frank Líma risked his life when deadly fires broke out in Los Angeles earlier this year.
As President Trump lays out his priorities for America tonight, we must ensure that communities across Los Angeles, and firefighters like Captain Líma aren’t forgotten.

15 million Californians rely on Medi-Cal for their health insurance.
Trump’s plan to slash Medicaid would leave children, seniors, and hard-working Californians without the care they need. calmatters.org/health/2025/...
Standing in solidarity with everyone protesting in support of our beloved national parks in California, and the workers who protect them.

Our children do not deserve this.
Trump and Elon Musk’s priorities are to give handouts to billionaires rather than support public schools. sfstandard.com/2025/02/19/t...
🌙Ramadan Mubarak to those observing in California, and beyond!
Federal workers like Venktesh Ramnath work tirelessly to provide healthcare to our communities, including our veterans in Southern CA.
They shouldn't have to waste their time justifying their value to Elon Musk––the work speaks for itself. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Luke Graziani served in the Army for 20 years, completing two tours in Iraq and two more in Afghanistan.
Trump and Musk just fired him.
DOGE is turning its back on people who risked everything to serve our country. It's unacceptable and un-American. www.newsweek.com/he-served-fo...
Republicans in the Senate are handing the reigns of our most important departments to dangerous, ideologically driven candidates, all to show Trump how loyal they are.
When will they put the safety and best interests of the American people first?
The numbers don’t lie.
The cost of living is up since Trump took office. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Education has made it clear she wants to dismantle the agency that supports millions of students across the country.
I’m headed to the Senate floor to speak out against her nomination.
Republicans are lying when they say they won't cut Medicaid.
They greenlighted a plan to gut Medicaid by $880 billion, and millions of Americans are going to suffer because of it.
For all of Trump and Musk’s talk of “fraud and abuse” — the reality is this Administration is the fraud and what we’re seeing is their abuse of power.
Republicans just voted to cut programs Americans rely on most to give a massive handout to their billionaire friends who need it least.
Republicans are racing to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for their billionaire friends––leaving 15 million Californians who rely on Medi-Cal to fend for themselves.
It's indefensible.
Trump sending and detaining immigrants to Guantánamo Bay is not only wrong—it's unlawful.
We're going to fight him on it. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Dan Bongino is a far-right extremist and conspiracy-peddling podcaster.
Trump keeps stacking our nation's top law enforcement agency with unfit, and unqualified loyalists. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...
Today is the third anniversary of Putin's unprovoked war on Ukraine.
In those 3 years, Ukrainians have shown courageous resilience and strength despite Putin's terror.
We can't abandon them now.
Powerful images coming out of California's own Yosemite National Park.
Standing in solidarity with each and every National Park Service worker who lost their job or whose future is in limbo amidst Trump’s reckless firings. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Trump is blaming Ukraine for the war that Putin started, once again peddling misinformation.
He’s abandoning our ally to side with the aggressor.
Shameful. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...
