Husband. Father. U.S. Senator for California. Fighting for an economy that works for everyone and for our democracy.
What do these 3 people have in common?

They have all been found to have been illegally appointed by the Trump Administration to positions leading U.S. Attorney’s Offices around the country.

We need real public servants in these jobs, lawful public servants, who are committed to the rule of law.

The proposed merger between two of Hollywood's biggest players will have seismic impacts on the industry and the thousands upon thousands of workers that it supports across Los Angeles and California.

Today, we lost a giant of American architecture with the passing of Frank Gehry, whose iconic designs personified the creativity and dynamism of Los Angeles and California.

May his memory be a blessing, and may his family, friends, and all he inspired take comfort in the lasting legacy of his work.

Did you know that this year's #NationalChristmasTree is decorated with ornaments designed by California's own Palisades Charter Elementary?

Talented students from Palisades and across the nation are helping to truly make the season bright.

Far too many Americans are struggling to make rent or find a home they can afford.

Why? Many reasons, but one above all: there are simply not enough homes.

I'm introducing landmark legislation to spur America's next housing boom and make homes more affordable.

The future looks bright thanks to these Pacific Grove High School students! Always a pleasure to greet Californians visiting our nation's capital.

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.

Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.

In the Pentagon watchdog's own words: Pete Hegseth "sent nonpublic DoD information identifying the quantity and strike times of manned U.S. aircraft over hostile territory over an unapproved, unsecure network."

A fireable offense for anyone else.

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.

It's not just immoral — it's un-American.

Donald Trump said strikes on targets within Venezuela could begin "very soon.”

We take the President's words seriously, and literally.

I'm working with Senators Kaine, Paul, and Schumer to prevent the Trump Administration from dragging us into a war that Americans don't want.

Trump just pardoned a known drug smuggling conspirator who was set to spend 40+ years in jail.

Why? The reasons may surprise you.

The administration has unlawfully terminated over a hundred immigration judges and is intent on replacing them with “deportation judges” to speed up their mass deportation agenda.

I’m introducing legislation to restore proper guardrails over who can serve as a temporary immigration judge.

Firing upon a shipwreck is a textbook example of an illegal order that shouldn't be followed — one straight out of our military's own Law of War Manual.

But with Pete Hegseth's alleged order to 'kill them all,’ Donald Trump's unconstitutional strikes near Venezuela are now potentially a war crime.

Pete Hegseth removed respected journalists from the Pentagon, because he feared their willingness to publish the truth.

Then he brought in only some of the nation's most seasoned sycophants to take their place.

Over the next 30 days, millions of people across the country will face an impossible decision:

Forego health insurance or go into debt.

If Republicans don't extend health care tax credits by January 1, it will drive up costs for everyone.⁩

A majority of corporations donating to Donald Trump's golden ballroom are represented by 3 lobbying firms — firms lobbying the government on a range of issues.

I’m demanding answers on the glaring ethical concerns with this disastrous project that destroyed the East Wing.

Our health care workers are on the frontlines of keeping Californians healthy in the face of rising costs and cuts to funding.

Thank you to SEIU UHW for always fighting for California's caregivers.

The time to stop the Trump administration from dragging us into war with Venezuela is not after the bombs start falling. It’s right now.

If Congress doesn't do its job, we accept the role Trump is relegating us to:

Constitutional afterthought.

Heartbroken to learn of a mass shooting and the loss of four innocent lives at a family gathering in Stockton.

My thoughts are with the families of the victims, including the ten who were injured.

Closely monitoring developments about the suspected shooter, who still remains at large.

When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:

Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

No Administration has done more to shatter the idea of American exceptionalism than this one.

By attempting to sell out Ukraine for a bunch of minerals deals, Trump would have America join the ranks of mediocrity.

Nearly a dozen warships and 12,000 troops are deployed in Caribbean at this very moment.

But Trump's judicial nominees can't even bring themselves to acknowledge Congress’ role in declaring or authorizing war, or refusing to do so.

Trump’s border czar allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash bribes to deliver government contracts.

But the Trump admin has refused to investigate it or answer our questions.

@whitehouse.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov and I are using every tool at our disposal to get to the bottom of this.
