Late last night, I spoke on the Senate floor.
Because if my constituents are awake fearing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s next actions – then I damn sure will be awake fighting back.

We are holding the Senate floor – and filibustering Donald Trump's nomination of Russ Vought.
I spoke for an hour about what they are doing, and how these disparate, destructive acts all fit together.
Hope you’ll watch.

They have to pay for the tax cuts for rich folks somehow.
I guess early childhood education for kids is as good a source as any…
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove says of the purge at FBI that the “only individuals who should be concerned … are those who acted with corrupt or partisan intent…”
A perfect description of the actions of Trump's own DOJ leadership.
Vengeance.
Apart from self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment, Donald Trump's only motivation.
Shuttering the agency responsible for international assistance.
Turning the government over to wealthy oligarchs motivated by economic self-interest.
Telling all CIA officers they will be paid if they quit.
China and Russia are winning so much they are getting tired of winning.
We need an Attorney General who knows their duty is to the people – not the President.
That person is not Pam Bondi.
California farmers feed our nation and the world.
But they’re facing water issues, tariffs, and workforce challenges – all while costs keep rising.
As CA's first Senator on the Agriculture Committee in 30+ years, I'm fighting for them every day.

Donald Trump wants to abolish the Department of Education by executive order.
He can’t. And he will waste taxpayer dollars to defend it.
More litigation over another pointless order.
Less money for education.
Firing top prosecutors and FBI agents. Deporting farmworkers who feed us. Letting billionaire oligarchs vandalize government agencies & access private data.
There is a pattern to this corrupt behavior.
Give Trump more power. Give the billionaires more money. Give you nothing.
I support this.
Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.
Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
Trump Tax report if tariffs go into effect:
If you’re buying a new car, estimates say you’ll spend up to $3k more for it – after the Trump Tax is applied.
And if you need an oil change, reports say the Trump Tax will push prices over $100.
Promises made. Promises broken.
Let’s be clear, Trump’s tariffs will be paid by Americans. Like a tax.
They will raise prices across the board. On food. On gas. On families. On small businesses.
An average American can expect to pay an annual tax of around $2600.
So much for his promise of lower prices.
FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI.
Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis.
Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight.
Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.
Tonight Donald Trump fired dozens of prosecutors at the DC U.S. Attorney's office and agents at the FBI.
Another Friday Night Massacre, as the President removes those loyal to the constitution.
And installs those loyal to him.
The White House says:
- 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada
What Americans feel:
- Fewer options at the store
- Higher prices for all of us, especially on food
He promised to cut costs. Now he's implementing a Trump Tax on our families.
The chaos continues.
At a time when Californians desperately need help, any delay on federal assistance – especially an intentional one by the Administration – adds injury to injury.
History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.
Let’s not become one of them.
Kash Patel can say he doesn’t support violence against law enforcement.
He can say that “we” doesn’t mean “we”. He can say any false thing that he wants to deflect responsibility.
But it’s what he did that matters. And what he did was disgraceful.
