Husband. Father. U.S. Senator for California. Fighting for an economy that works for everyone and for our democracy.
Trump just got a third Air Force 1.
He's building a $200m ballroom at the White House.
His personal economy is doing great.
But for average Americans? Sadly, not so much.
A sad moment for the Senate and the country.
Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air.
How can they vote to confirm these people?
Trump’s tariff wars mean higher prices for you.
Don’t take it from me. Take it from what the companies told their investors:
Good.
The courts continue to affirm what should be obvious, these lawless raids — grabbing people off the street based on little more than how they look — have got to stop.
Prices are going up. Job prospects are going down.
But don't worry – Donald Trump's got a $200 million ballroom for you.
Donald Trump and Republicans cut funding for PBS to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
In doing so, they cut an essential public service that millions of Americans rely on — including many in rural communities.
Another casualty of the Trump budget.
Cutting funding for life-saving research has nothing to do with attacking antisemitism.
It has everything to do with attacking science, universities, and California.
And sadly, it is our health, our knowledge and our economy that will pay the price.
Donald Trump placed major tariffs on Brazil. Now he's sanctioning a judge.
But … why?
Answer: It has nothing to do with trade, unless you consider insurrection to be a new American export.
As families recover and rebuild from natural disasters - mortgage payment deadlines can make matters so much worse.
That's why I am introducing a bill with @bennet.senate.gov to give homeowners the financial support they need in times of crisis.
Donald Trump is trying to skip Senate confirmation altogether for some of his most dangerous nominees.
In his appointment of bitterly partisan U.S. Attorneys around the country, he's upending the justice system, eroding the rule of law, and making us all less safe.

Some of the President's appointees are so extreme, even he doesn’t think they can get confirmed.
So Trump is doing an end run around the Senate & finding legally dubious ways to keep them in power.
These bad actors may carry out the president’s partisan agenda, but they will not make us more safe.
Attacking the science does not change the science.
But it does make us less prepared to confront the crisis.
Just step outside and feel the heat. Their denial is dangerous and absurd.
Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove.
Despite whistleblowers confirming he urged them to ignore court orders.
Despite it being clear he lied to the Judiciary Committee.
And despite the danger he poses to the rule of law.
The corruption of the bench continues.
Donald Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election.
And Republicans in Texas are rushing to help him.
Democrats need to fight fire with fire.

Two more tragic mass shootings this week.
On Monday, several Californians were the victims of a shooting in Reno. And then, the additional tragedy in New York City.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims during this unimaginably difficult time.
Long before Project 2025 – there was a different playbook for turning a democracy into an autocracy.
Let's talk about Viktor Orbán and Hungary.

Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held.
Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
This cannot continue.
What will come out next about Bove?
That's precisely the problem with this disaster of a nominee.
And why Senate Republicans are rushing through his nomination.
Before more disqualifying information can come out.
“I think it would be incredibly dangerous for someone like that to have a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge."
The latest whistleblower's words, not mine.
I agree.
Now, ANOTHER whistleblower has provided "substantive, internal DOJ documents to the Inspector General" supporting Reuveni's damning allegations.

I pressed Bove on this at his nomination hearing. Here was his disqualifying answer.

Republicans discounted Reuveni's detailed complaint. They tried to cast doubt on it.
Then Reuveni provided extensive emails, documents, and text messages to the committee that backed up what he said.
Then, former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni blew the whistle, sharing that Bove told DOJ attorneys to consider telling the courts ‘f**k you’” if they ordered a halt to any of his deportation efforts.

A purely political – and decidedly partisan – pick.
www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
Bove, Trump’s former personal defense attorney, has been nominated for a position on the court of appeals.
While at DOJ, he worked to reshape the department to carry out the president’s dirty work. To dismiss cases against his allies and take aim at his enemies list.
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.
The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.
Let's break it down. 🧵
Donald Trump is trying to distract in every way he can.
Republicans in Congress are paralyzed by the demands of their base.
And Americans are seeing right through his Epstein Files coverup.
Fox News took Jeanine Pirro off air because "she's crazy" and "nuts." Their words, not mine.
Now we're going to trust her with the lives and liberty of the people of DC?
This is just absurd.
The Trump Administration's cuts to our laboratories will:
-Undermine our economic competitiveness
-Harm innovation
-Weaken national security
I'm joining @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov in urging the the Department of Energy and Office of Management and Budget to reverse these cuts.
Republicans just blocked an amendment to require the release of the Epstein files.
Wonder why.
