While the Republican shutdown forces federal workers into financial hardship, Secretary Kristi Noem is spending our tax dollars on luxury jets.

Diverting resources from our Coast Guard to fund a personal indulgence is unacceptable.

DHS to spend $200 million on private jets for Noem, other officials

The new Coast Guard contract for two Gulfstream G700 jets far exceeds the $50 million the Coast Guard had requested earlier this year to purchase a new jet.

Federal law enforcement must ensure public safety and uphold our due process rights. I will continue fighting for accountability, transparency, and reform at DHS.

It’s deeply disturbing that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration agents—some for days—despite having proof of citizenship.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Firing live explosives over one of the busiest highways in America is wildly reckless and completely unnecessary. We honor our troops with respect—not dangerous stunts. There are far better ways to show the Marines our gratitude.

Congratulations to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis on winning the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work in quantum mechanics! Their discoveries drive the frontiers of technology, and I’m proud that UCSB and California are leading the way.

Trump's Pentagon has pushed out every major news outlet in America — from CNN to Fox News. This is yet another alarming attack on free speech and transparency. Americans deserve to know what their military is doing and I call on the Trump admin to reverse course immediately.

I'm in Washington with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues because we're ready to negotiate a bipartisan solution that reopens the government and saves Americans' health care.

Vacation time is over, House GOP — let’s get back to work.

After two years of unimaginable suffering and loss, I am deeply grateful and relieved to see the remaining hostages reunited with their families and loved ones.

May this moment serve as a turning point toward lasting peace, stability, and a safer future for both Israel and Gaza.

Starting on Oct 15th, our troops will start missing paychecks because of the Republican government shutdown. Military families shouldn't have to worry about putting food on the table or making rent.

🚨 Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of protecting Americans’ access to affordable health care.

If Republicans let the tax credits that make health care more affordable expire, 35,000 people on the Central Coast could see their coverage costs skyrocket.

We continue to mourn the innocent lives lost and pray for the families still waiting for their loved ones to return home. I continue to call for the return of all hostages, a surge of aid into Gaza, and for a permanent peace plan to end this war and bring stability to the region.

The Republican shutdown is starting to hit right here at home on the Central Coast.

Thousands of civilian workers at Naval Base Ventura County and Vandenberg Space Force Base are being forced into furloughs or working without pay—while their families and our national security hang in the balance.

"Mission-critical" activities would continue during a federal shutdown. Some civilian workers would be furloughed.

By refusing to undo their health care cuts, Republicans are driving up premiums, cutting care options, & raising costs. Our veterans answered the call to serve. They deserve better than this chaos.

I joined Rep. Pat Ryan and my fellow Democratic veterans in condemning Donald Trump’s alarming remarks to U.S. military officers.

Suggesting our troops should be deployed against the American people isn’t just unprecedented and unconstitutional — it’s un-American and dangerous.

This is complete and utter partisan propaganda coming from the Trump admin.

Newsflash: our "wish list" is actually just the bare minimum to protect health care, food assistance, and housing for the American people.

Tomorrow, government funding runs out.

Trump and Republicans have chosen chaos over compromise, threatening our workers, families, and economy. A shutdown will be their responsibility — and the American people will remember.

This a historic abuse of power by a sitting President. By weaponizing the DOJ into a political tool, it is clear he's pursuing revenge, not justice. The law enforcement community must stand up to this extreme overreach.
