This admin is trying to make it easier for higher education institutions to avoid accountability or punishment for failing their students and wasting federal funding.
Rep. Takano and I are fighting this attempt to undermine America’s rigorous accreditation process for our colleges and universities.

Any Trump official who lied and told the nation these clean energy grant cancellations had nothing to do with politics should resign.
As the administration has now been forced to concede — these cancellations had everything to do with politics.
Of the worst kind.

Spending billions more on a war that the American people don't want and Congress didn’t approve is a terrible mistake.
This war of choice must end, and our troops must be brought home.
While House Republicans provided enough support to pass another resolution to end the Iran war, Senate Republicans did not.
Tragically, this war has led to economic instability, driven up prices for millions of Americans, and resulted in the deaths of 18 of our servicemembers.
While Americans struggle to afford gas, health care, and groceries, Trump is doing everything in his power to profit off the presidency.
I’m breaking down the cost of his corruption to you, with his top ten worst grifts...so far. youtu.be/UQBXG3ff3yg?...
Senator Banks, Rep. Latta, Rep. Whitesides, and I have partnered on a new effort to protect against AI distillation attacks and other security risks by allowing increased information-sharing among U.S. AI labs to counter the threat of foreign theft.
We cannot allow China, or any foreign adversary, to steal American AI advancements and then weaponize those advances to undermine our own national security.
This is good news for the Melania movie.
It will move from worst of the year… to second worst.
Who knows where we'll be when the war enters its sixth month and how much Americans will be paying at the pump?
Four servicemembers died this past weekend in the war with Iran.
We mourn their loss, and grieve with their families.
Even as we disagree with the President’s decision to take this country to war, we honor those who have fallen.
The Supreme Court has become a rubber stamp for Trump and corporate interests. It desperately needs reform.
I break down the 8 cases betraying the Court’s partisanship and bias for big money, and the reforms that would fix the Court.

Congratulations to Christina Klayko on completing the Western States Endurance Run, covering almost half of the width of California. Your story is an inspiration to all of us!

Three American servicemembers were tragically killed in the Iran war this weekend.
It's clear that while this war rages on, the American people remain in the dark about the President’s strategy and war aims.
How long will Republicans in the Senate allow this to continue?
Trump gave a rambling primetime speech about “election security” last week. The only thing it revealed is that the greatest threat to our elections comes from within. It comes from him.
We break down his worst lies from the speech.
Trump's return to a trade war with Canada further imperils American businesses and industries – like California wine – that rely on Canadian markets.
As Canada faces a serious natural disaster at home, this is the wrong message to send to our northern neighbor.

This latest attack on the freedom of the press, including weaponizing the FBI to subpoena even family members of journalists, shows how far Donald Trump is willing to go to hide the truth.
If the $400 million plane Qatar gifted the President of the United States is still not safe enough, and Trump is using it against the advice of his own Secret Service, the American people deserve to know.
The Supreme Court, and our federal judiciary at large, must be held to the highest standard — at a minimum it must follow the same ethics rules that apply to other federal officials. Today it does not. Cases should be decided based on merit, not personal profits. Americans deserve nothing less.
This must be just the beginning. We need a whole set of strong reforms to the Supreme Court.
Comprehensive reform must include:
✔️ Term limits for Justices
✔️ An enforceable code of ethics
✔️ Expanding the Court
