Senator Hyde-Smith and I have a new bill to deliver more fresh produce to food banks so families can access healthier food & specialty crop farmers have more business opportunities.

California is the number one specialty crop grower in the country, growing nearly half of the nation’s vegetables & over three-quarters of the country’s fruits & nuts.

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) are introducing legislation aimed at expanding food banks' access to fresh produce while supporting specialty crop farmers.

This administration is again rewarding loyalty to the president over every other consideration, including security, experience, and the proper use of taxpayers dollars. The public deserves answers.

Juneteenth marks the day that the last slaves in the United States were freed. Today, we remember the struggles and hard-won fights of previous generations against racism, bigotry, and injustice. We must also recognize the significant work that remains in the fight for equality.

Our farmers need more opportunities in today’s agricultural markets. Today I’m introducing new bipartisan legislation with Senators Hyde-Smith, @klobuchar.senate.gov, and Senator Justice to strengthen our food supply chains & open new markets for small and mid-sized producers and growers.
EXCLUSIVE: Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Revive Regional Food Programs
The American Food Supply Chain Resiliency Act attempts to rebuild local food efforts that began in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As Americans pay more and more for energy, the Trump administration is once again paying millions in taxpayer dollars to kill California energy projects. Expect another hike in your utility bills, courtesy of Donald Trump. And another win for the oil industry. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Trump administration to pay $765 million to scrap four more offshore wind leases
The Trump administration on Wednesday said it would pay $765 million to power project developer Invenergy to terminate four wind leases off ​the coasts of New York, California and Maine.

Once again, Donald Trump chooses chaos over national security. Installing an unqualified loyalist like Bill Pulte will not make us safer. Nor will insisting that Congress add an unrelated voter suppression bill to a FISA extension. It will only ensure the latter will fail. No reforms for FISA.
Trump Blows Up Senate Effort to Confirm Intelligence Chief
The president also said he wouldn’t sign legislation to renew a critical spying law and demanded Congress pass a voter-ID bill.

The decision to go to war was never the President's to make. Senate Democrats have insisted that Congress play its constitutional role and stop these illegal and deeply harmful wars. Senate Republicans have now voted EIGHT times to shirk their duty and greenlight Trump's illegal war of choice.

Donald Trump, the developer: Tear down a historic building for a project that the public didn’t want or approve. Triple the initial price tag. Make taxpayers foot the bill after promising they wouldn’t.

Exclusive: Trump told reporters on March 31 that the ballroom project would be "taxpayer-free." But documents obtained by The Post show the contractor estimated the cost at $600M — weeks before Trump's comments, and with more than half of the cost coming from taxpayers. https://wapo.st/4otu32O

The Trump administration's newest corruption scheme just dropped. Kash Patel may be using the FBI's budget as his personal slush fund to pay agents tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for carrying out illegal orders, or as hush money to keep quiet about what they witnessed.
Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, says Raskin
Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding documents from the FBI director, citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out “unlawful partisan and personal orders.”

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.
Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Sean Astin, the National President of SAG-AFTRA, and I are committed to keeping film production in California, and protecting the people that bring magic to our screens!
