The Bay Area Ridge Trail gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy more than 500 miles of some of California’s most incredible outdoor beauty. Proud to partner with @rephuffman.bsky.social in providing federal recognition to this ridgeline trail — helping preserve it for future generations.

A 550-mile hiking and biking trail encircling the Bay Area might soon gain a prized federal recognition that would put it in the same class as the Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail.

I urge VP Vance to use his upcoming visit to demand the release of all hostages and an end to the systematic ethnic cleansing of Artsakh's Armenian population.

Azerbaijan’s illegal detention and sentencing of Artsakh Armenians are an affront to international law and human rights – and confirm that Azerbaijan has no interest in honoring its peace agreement. 🧵

Azerbaijan sentenced Armenian leaders of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to life in prison at the end of trials that followed its military seizure of the breakaway enclave.

For decades, California & Hollywood have shined bright as the global leader for movies & creative storytelling, thanks to an amazing workforce. Rep. Friedman and I are urging Netflix & Paramount to provide answers on how their bids for Warner Bros will impact jobs, production & consumers.

Donald Trump is terrified of the accountability the midterms will bring. So now he floats ‘nationalizing’ elections and his advisors promise to put ICE at polling places. Straight out of a dictator's playbook.

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.

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.
