Speaking with students at Cal Poly yesterday, they wanted to know — is our democracy going to get through this? It is. But it's going to take all of us. Seeing their engagement in politics and passion for public service, I'm more sure of that than ever.

Another heartbreak on the world stage. Tunisia, once the birthplace of the Arab Spring, tragically falls back into authoritarianism. Sentencing members of the opposition to lengthy prison terms. This is not democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...
Tunisia Hands Heavy Sentences to Prominent Opposition Figures
As the North African nation continues to slide toward authoritarianism, a court sentenced about 40 people, including high-profile rivals of the president, to up to 66 years in prison.

(5) I look forward to continuing to work with him to build on that record of success while helping him do what he does best: stand up for the American people in the face of hardship and injustice.

(4) I am lucky enough to serve under Senator Durbin. Few have been as welcoming to me when I joined the Senate than Senator Durbin, and I will be forever grateful for his guidance and wisdom for the remainder of his final term.

(3) gun safety laws of the 21st century. He used his pulpit as Chairman and Democratic Whip to champion comprehensive immigration reforms, including the protection of Dreamers, as well as measures to combat corruption and protect American consumers from fraud and price gouging.

(2) and as a tireless fighter who never backs down from the most important struggles of our time. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he helped confirm the largest bench of new judges in half a century – the vast majority with bipartisan support – and enacted the most comprehensive-

In the pantheon of giants of the United States Senate, few have delivered for the American people like @durbin.senate.gov. Over his four decades of public service in the United States Congress, Senator Durbin has proven time and again his abilities both as a builder of bipartisan bridges-

The Channel Islands are one of California's greatest treasures. Yesterday, I got the chance to visit them. The exquisite beauty, the unique wildlife found only there, right off our coast. We must protect these lands for generations to come.

Pete Hegseth’s use of Signal for military planning risks national security – and it could also easily violate federal laws requiring those communications to be documented. I am urging the NARA to investigate whether the Trump administration is complying with its reporting requirements.

Pope Francis walked humbly, loved mercifully, and pursued justice with God – not just in word, but in deed. He sought to heal a world too often fractured by hate. I join people around the globe in mourning his loss, and honoring his memory.

In 1962, President Kennedy stood here at the Whiskeytown Dam and dedicated this incredible project. He knew that our water future takes work. We need to find the right solutions to irrigate our crops, supply water to our cities, and preserve our environment. The work continues.

Enjoyed meeting with students studying agriculture at Chico State, and learning about the University’s farm, research and science programs. Bright futures ahead for these students.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.
