Nearly a dozen warships and 12,000 troops are deployed in Caribbean at this very moment.
But Trump's judicial nominees can't even bring themselves to acknowledge Congress’ role in declaring or authorizing war, or refusing to do so.

Trump’s border czar allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash bribes to deliver government contracts.
But the Trump admin has refused to investigate it or answer our questions.
@whitehouse.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov and I are using every tool at our disposal to get to the bottom of this.
Wishing everyone in California and across the country a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
The shooting of two members of the National Guard is a horrific tragedy.
I’m praying for these brave service members and their families. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...
What works in New York would not work in Virginia, or vice versa.
If Democrats are to be the change we want to see in this country, it won't come down to just one person.
But many voices advocating an affordability agenda that challenges the status quo all across our nation.
Thousands of Californians lost their homes & livelihoods in the Eaton Fire.
Listening to the volunteers and survivors at the Eaton Fire Collaborative Center in Altadena makes it so clear why Congress must approve the aid they need to rebuild. ASAP.
Every prosecutor at the DOJ should continue to adhere to the rule of law, and resist political pressure to do otherwise.
Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law.
Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.
The most important role in our society is that of ordinary citizens, and Pacific Council does so much to keep us all informed.
I had the pleasure of being a keynote speaker at this year's Pacific Council Annual Conference.
Grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the national security challenges facing our country, the war in Ukraine, and the threat to our democracy.
When it comes to Saudi Arabia, the president isn't putting America first.
He's putting his own wealth and his own personal interests ahead of everything else.
Ahead of you.
It’s a great deal for Russia, and a betrayal of Ukraine.
And our legacy of defending fellow democracies.
Trump's plan for ending Russia's war reportedly requires Ukraine to:
Give up vast parts of its territory, including areas Russia has failed to capture after years of war.
Cut its military in half.
Stop receiving U.S. lethal aid.
All in exchange for a Putin promise that Russia won't invade again.

Allowing Big Oil to drill off the coasts of California again will not deliver energy dominance.
It will bring extreme environmental risks, and future disasters.
California will fight this.

Donald Trump is giving Big Oil free rein to pump unregulated methane into our air.
Today, @senwhitehouse.bsky.social and I forced a vote to stop this license to pollute, to protect the public’s right to clean air, and to help stop climate disasters.
Donald Trump is allowing Big Oil to belch harmful pollutants into our air.
I’m forcing a vote today on my resolution with @senwhitehouse.bsky.social to stop the EPA from giving oil and gas companies the ability to emit copious quantities of harmful methane.

Putting new, clean air buses on California’s streets will improve commutes, cut pollution, and enhance the quality of life for communities from Alameda to Yuba and all across our state.
Even years after its passage, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is continuing to deliver for California.
Great to visit with some our next generation's brightest minds from the International School of San Francisco.
Thanks for coming to the Capitol!
