Markwayne Mullin just admitted this on Epstein: "What we're simply wanting to do here is give [Trump] cover."

1/2: This week, House Republicans shut down Congress until September to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

ICYMI: Last week, I joined @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social & discussed how Trump is trying to protect himself.

Local leaders & community members joined me in Watsonville to highlight the immigration registry bill & its many benefits, including the certainty it brings for farmworkers & our economy.

Amid Aggressive Immigration Raids, House Reps Reintroduce Straightforward Reform Solution "We need to control our borders, but we also need a straightforward reform solution for those who have resided peacefully for a long time in America."

Stability > Scare tactics.

Our immigration registry bill provides straightforward reform that America needs.

Does Tulsi Gabbard have a new, secret loyalty-focused spy team?

Congress needs answers about surveillance within the intel community.

Join me & the entire CA Dem Delegation in demanding the release of the nearly $1 BILLION of education funding being wrongly withheld from our state. We cannot stand idly by as they steal from our kids!

There is a very real student debt crisis in our country. We need policy solutions to prevent further harm to a generation of students & our economy.

Our student loan bankruptcy reform is straightforward & gives student borrowers a fair shot. Learn more: correa.house.gov/news/press-r...

When Republicans voted to pass their One Big, Ugly Bill, they voted to take health care access away from millions of Americans.

I met with local @aptaofficial.bsky.social members to discuss how these cuts would impact Californians in the Salinas Valley & beyond.

ICYMI: Dialysis patients are speaking out, & I agree that it’s shameful when profits override patients’ needs & caregivers’ wellbeing.

Sadly, when treatment is delayed or denied, the consequences are dire.

What ignorance. Ask any farm group.

Our country’s ag industry relies on skilled farmworkers. There’s food on our tables thanks to the workforce in place. The suggestions are a joke.

We need smart reform, like our bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act: bit.ly/3TvxhEp

PS - What happened to THIS Tulsi Gabbard? (2/2)

This is chilling & wrong. A secret team to sift through emails & chat logs from across the intelligence community?! A giant database on U.S. persons?!

I've warned against this, & my bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act would've helped prevent it. (1/2)

I was proud to be a part of the Naglee Park Parade this 4th of July!

Nearly two & a half centuries ago, our nation was born with a promise of liberty & justice for all.

Today, we must recommit ourselves to protecting our democracy & advocating for American’s fundamental rights.

The American people strongly disapprove of the GOP’s one big ugly bill.

It turns out that ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans is not that popular.

#ProtectOurCare

Nearly three years ago, Mr. Mahmood Habibi, a U.S. citizen, was taken hostage by the Taliban. He is still in captivity.

The State Department has announced a $5 million reward for any information about Mr. Habibi's whereabouts: rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/disa...

The Trump Administration is displacing the entire staff of the National Science Foundation to give HUD Secretary Turner luxury upgrades.

Once again, science loses, the American taxpayer loses, and our competitors, like China, win.

I don’t think anyone can claim to support the Judiciary while undermining its independence.

Senate Republicans are making Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill even uglier – by cutting America’s health care even more, all to make the wealthiest of the wealthy even richer.

Democrats are united to stop this – we are fighting for our hospitals, our health care, & our livelihoods.

Trump officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids ICE agents have been told to continue conducting enforcement operations at agricultural businesses despite concerns about effects on the food industry.

President Trump had it right the first time around: our country depends on good, long-time farm workers. We need to expand legal pathways for farm workers to stay & help feed our nation.

My bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act would do just that: bit.ly/3TvxhEp

Holding disaster victims hostage is depraved & morally-bankrupt. We must put people over politics & come together to support California families, businesses, & first responders.

I was proud to join local leaders & thousands of San Jose residents on #NoKingsDay.

We must stand together in defense of our democracy & the Constitution.

Today, on #Juneteenth, we celebrate the 160th anniversary of the end of slavery in the United States.

We honor the resilience of Black Americans & rededicate ourselves to the continued fight for equality & justice.

Our California Democratic Congressional Delegation stood together in support of @padilla.senate.gov and called out the Trump Administration’s assault on the rule of law and the Constitution.

This is outrageous, disturbing, and un-American. @padilla.senate.gov attempted to ask a question and was forcibly removed from a press conference.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

If the courts don’t stop his unconstitutional actions, we will watch our country’s liberties be stripped away. 9/9

We should all be concerned about Trump’s obvious authoritarian bent – Democrats & Republicans, alike. 8/
