Glenn Medical Center had to close because of a bureaucratic change targeting rural hospitals. For months, I worked with the late-Rep. LaMalfa and Sen. Hyde Smith to help reopen it. Now, I'm proud our bill was signed into law, giving Glenn a fighting chance to reopen its doors in the future.

Yesterday, the last nuclear arms treaty between the United States and Russia expired, opening the door to nuclear build-up, decreased trust among nuclear powers, and less stability. The admin needs to focus on new talks to preserve nuclear stability, before the world becomes even more dangerous.
The treaty limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear arms expired. What to know.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he hoped to replace New START with a modernized treaty that could “last long into the future.”

The DNI has no role overseeing domestic law enforcement or in managing U.S. elections — absolutely none. Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has made election denial and sycophancy towards the president her only core conviction. Gabbard could do the country a great favor and resign.
Commentary: Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to keep America safe. She's only looking out for herself
Her appearance at an FBI raid on a Georgia election center had nothing to do with her job overseeing American intelligence and everything to do with worming her way into President Trump's good graces.

One year after the catastrophic Eaton and Palisades fires, survivors are still facing significant challenges with their insurance claims. I am calling on the largest insurance companies to ensure survivors receive the compensation they're entitled to, and without further delay. No more hurdles.
Lawmakers demand insurers explain tough requirements for payouts to wildfire victims
Sen. Adam Schiff and 15 members of California's congressional delegation sent a letter Monday to major insurers demanding to know why they are allegedly subjecting L.A. wildfire survivors to claims re...

As the 2026 Olympics kick off, I want to congratulate the 21 Californians who will be representing our great state on the global stage! Wishing every athlete good luck! #TeamUSA 🇺🇸

This month, we celebrate the profound legacy and impact Black history and Black Americans have had on California, the U.S., and the world. The censors in the administration may try to erase our history, or diminish the achievements of Black Americans — all the more reason to celebrate them.

Dr. Oz’s demonization of the Armenian American community is a terrible slander. I am demanding an independent review of his clearly discriminatory motive in pushing these smears against the Armenian community.

I am always amazed by California's amazing natural treasures. Thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I got to go behind the scenes and learn more about their efforts to protect our costal lands, and to bring back the sea otter population.

Thank you to the faculty and students of Woodland Community College for inviting me to come and discuss issues facing the country. I appreciate all of the thoughtful questions and concerns you raised about a host of matters, and in particular, the administration’s draconian immigration policy.

Trump is once again selling out American national security to enrich himself and his family. More corruption in plain sight, and on a scale that is unprecedented. It must be investigated.

New reports reveal that the UAE royal family secretly funneled $500M to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, just days before his inauguration and months before the President agreed to sell the UAE highly advanced AI chips that many fear would end up in the hands of China. 🧵
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

The EPA is proposing to roll back decades of progress on attacking water pollution — abandoning their responsibility to protect water quality and limiting the effectiveness of the Clean Water Act.  We cannot revert back to a time when pollution caused our rivers to catch fire.

My first job representing Californians was as a member of the California State Senate. Great to get back to Sacramento and meet with State Senators and Assemblymembers, and talk about how we can work hand in hand to bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, food and medicine.⁩

The arrest of journalists for covering a protest is a grave attack on the first amendment and freedom of the press. And proof the Trump Administration is not deescalating. There will be accountability for these abuses of power.
