The housing crisis comes down to this: Not enough homes and the ones we have are too expensive. My Housing BOOM Act would expand federal tax credits to help kickstart the next housing boom in America, and help Californians get housing they can afford.

I’m praying for all of the victims, their families, and the entire Brown University community as it grieves this horrific act of gun violence. How many more tragedies, more lives lost, more grieving families, before we act? We can and we must end our gun violence epidemic.

We who grew up in the postwar era in the 20th century came to believe that democracy and freedom were inevitable. We were wrong. If we are to preserve our experiment in self-governance, we have to bend that arc of justice ourselves.

The administration can try to justify the continuing military escalation in the Caribbean and repeated illegal strikes with any excuse they want. But as I told @elexmichaelson.bsky.social, Americans know what it's really about: regime change. And they want no part of another war.

Trump is seeking to preempt state laws that are establishing meaningful safeguards around AI and replace them with…nothing. There’s a reason both parties have spoken out against this proposal – it prevents states from protecting consumers and workers, while ensuring the future of innovation.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that blocks states from enforcing their own regulations around artificial intelligence and instead aims to create a "single national framework" for AI. https://cnn.it/49chVwf

Well, there you have it. Republicans knew their big funding bill — taking away billions from health care and giving it out in tax cuts for corporations — would spike health care costs for millions of Americans. Now that we see premiums doubling, they refuse to do anything about it.

Republicans have a choice today: They can vote to extend health care for millions of Americans. Or they can choose to raise health care costs on millions of Americans. It’s really that simple.

The Trump administration keeps threatening to interfere with the full release of the Epstein Files. To ensure there is no tampering with the files ahead of their legally-required release, we need an independent audit of who at the Justice Department had access. And when.
Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for audit to determine if Epstein files have been "tampered with"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and a group of Democrats are asking for a review of the Epstein case files to determine whether the records have been "tampered" with or concealed, ahead of a...

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave DHS $170 billion to ramp up its mass deportations. That's at least $116 million A DAY to burn. So what does Kristi Noem do with that kind of money? Buy a private fleet of deportation jets, of course.

Today marks the one year anniversary of my swearing in to the U.S. Senate, and I’m proud to have delivered for Californians and fought back against the administration when it was necessary. Californians deserve a life they can afford, and the freedom to thrive.

First, it was members of his Cabinet, then members of Bill Pulte's family and now the President himself. The breathtaking hypocrisy of this adminstration's weapon-of-choice shows the real basis for these investigations: political retribution. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal
The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

This week, Senate Dems will force a vote on our plan to avert massive increases to health care costs that will begin on January 1st. This is the last chance for Republicans in Congress to help stop these devastating price hikes. Will they stand with us? Or just keep calling affordability a “hoax”?
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 8(source)
Making housing more affordable and accessible takes stronger leaders at all levels of government. Proud to join Mayor Barbara Lee and @replsimon.bsky.social to celebrate the great work being done in Oakland and reflect on how we can kickstart the next housing boom in America.⁩
