Sable Offshore and the Trump administration are working hand-in-hand to increase the risk of another devastating oil spill off California’s coast.   I'm fighting their politicized efforts to circumvent state law and put profit first.   Sable owes Californians answers to these serious questions:

It’s been eight years since Congress passed a Farm Bill, and the challenges California farmers are facing have only gotten bigger. I’m ready to fight for a bill that addresses the needs of both farmers and families in California and across the country. Read my Bakersfield Californian op-ed here:
Community Voices: It’s time for a Farm Bill that serves California’s farmers
A year and half ago, I was appointed as California’s first senator on the Senate Agriculture Committee in more than three decades. And in the time since, I’ve had a

Trump may not have attended his son's wedding, but now we know his wedding present: $600 million of your tax dollars to one of his companies. The Trump family grift knows no bounds, and neither should our resolve to stop it. www.propublica.org/article/dona...
The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.
About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

In violation of laws against putting a living president’s likeness on our currency, Donald Trump wants his image on a $250 bill. How about trying to help Americans with their bills instead?

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years.

After the terrifying events in San Diego last week, Californians are gathering with their loved ones for Eid al-Adha. California’s Muslim community is celebrating sacrifice and service to others and welcoming those returning from their pilgrimage. Eid Mubarak!

Trump's multi-billion-dollar slush fund is the most brazen act of self-dealing corruption we've ever seen. We need to shut it down before he uses it to pay cop beaters, cronies, and other criminals. I'm introducing legislation to stop it. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...
Exclusive: Sen. Schiff takes on Trump’s ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
The California Democrat called the fund “the most brazen act of self-dealing corruption we’ve ever seen.”

At the Palm Springs Air Museum’s Memorial Day ceremony, I joined veterans and Gold Star families to honor the service members and their loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and our freedoms. We are grateful to these heroes, today and every day.

The Office of Government Ethics has been operating without a permanent director for more than a year after Trump fired the previous head of the office — effectively kneecapping the agency. No wonder there's been an explosion of corruption within the administration.
A year after Trump fired a top ethics watchdog, there’s still no leader
One senator said vacancies at the Office of Government Ethics, which seeks to prevent financial conflicts of interest, have “kneecapped” its work.

Proud to announce more than $110 million in federal funds are headed to the Veterans Home in Yountville! California is home to one of the largest veteran populations, and @padilla.senate.gov, Rep. Thompson, and I will always fight for the funding we need to support our veterans.

It was an honor to prepare fresh, nutritious meals with our friends at Feeding San Diego. Thanks for the incredible work you all do to support those most in need throughout San Diego.

Republicans sent Congress home for the week because not even the MAGA Majority can stomach a $1.776 billion taxpayer slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. At least for now …

Today, Senate Democrats once again forced a vote to demand an end to this unconstitutional war. After seven failed attempts, I am thankful that my Republican colleagues have joined in bringing our War Powers Resolution to the Floor and exercising our constitutional responsibility to declare war.

BREAKING: An important victory in stopping $1 billion of your tax dollars from being used to pay for Trump’s golden ballroom. But the fight is not over, as Senate Republicans promise to keep trying. They will fight for Trump’s ballroom, but not to help you make ends meet.
Hundreds of millions of dollars for Trump’s ballroom ruled out of order in Senate
The Senate parliamentarian determined that a proposal to fund $1 billion for White House security cannot be included as written.
