Senator Schiff is putting all of the responsibility onto the voters. If you are a constituent in CA, call him and urge him to call for new leadership in the Senate. Voters across the country made a huge statement last week giving Dems leverage they needed, and THEY failed us. He needs to act now.
Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.
Let's talk about where we go from here. youtu.be/Zc-sUG6myqE?...

As Trump & Musk tear down our federal science agencies & jeopardize U.S. global science leadership, CA needs to step up.
I introduced legislation (SB 829) to create the California Institute for Scientific Research & solidify CA’s global science leadership in the absence of federal leadership.🧵

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

For every cut the Trump Administration makes to staffing, that’s a cut to the programs millions of Americans rely on.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.
