Republicans are trying to hand Trump and Hegseth a $150 billion slush fund with no plan. "Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch. That's what's happening here."

Patti and I are saddened by the news of Dolores Huerta’s passing. Dolores was a very close personal friend and colleague with whom we worked for years on advancing social justice. We first worked with Dolores in 1976 during the farmworkers’ strike in San Joaquin County, where she bravely led the effort to improve working conditions for farmworkers. Every moment of her extraordinary life was dedicated to improving the lives of working people. Dolores’s determination to improve the conditions for working people brought her to Washington, D.C., where she and Patti marched hand-in-hand to improve the conditions for women. Her work lives on through the Dolores Huerta Foundation and in the halls of Congress, where we will continue to work to make Dolores’s vision of workers’ rights a reality. I will never waver in my commitment to fighting for fair wages and safe, equitable working conditions for all workers. Dolores also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and coined the rallying cry “Sí se puede,” a phrase that will live on with her memory. Dolores’s life and memory will forever be a reminder of what can be accomplished through grit, determination, and, most importantly, a love for justice for all.

Mark my words: Trump's ICE will never use the Golden Bear for mass deportations. Deporting migrants by ship is impractical, inhumane, and hurts our sealift capacity. It makes no sense at all. Proud to stand with @RepCarbajal in pushing back against this nonsense. kqed.org/news/12106746/calif…

Your tax dollars are about to buy billions in Russian diesel. It won’t lower prices and it will only fund Russia’s war on Ukraine and its attacks on Europe. Let's be clear on the real cause of high diesel prices.   The president’s choice to go to war with Iran.

For anyone in the Trump Administration to call Vladimir Putin a humanitarian is, at best, disgusting. Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and abandoning a nation that should be our ally sends the wrong message to friends and adversaries alike.

The rushed Bahrain base evacuation sums up Trump and Hegseth’s war in Iran: chaos, confusion, and completely avoidable. These brave servicemembers and their families deserve transparency and prompt, respectful answers to their concerns. @MSNOW_Reports ms.now/news/military-familie…

What is going on with Trump and Putin? Trump’s diesel deal is funneling millions in taxpayer funds into Putin’s coffers while our ally Ukraine is left in the dark. His support for Putin undermines our national security and puts American interests at risk.

Last year the Trump Administration illegally clawed back over $19 million in federal funding for environmental protection efforts in Contra Costa County, which the GAO, an independent government watchdog agency, confirmed last week was a clear violation of the law. I join @RepGaramendi in demanding President Trump reinstate this funding immediately for Contra Costa residents. garamendi.house.gov/2026/10/…

Rep. John Garamendi, a California Democrat and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, criticized President Trump’s handling of the war in Ukraine, accusing him of showing greater support for Russian President Vladimir Putin than for Ukraine’s independence.

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

$6,100. That’s how much more families in our district have paid for goods and services because of Trump’s tariffs and his reckless war in Iran, according to new @JECDems data. California families deserve better. We can end this in November. jec.senate.gov/public/index.…

Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel, handing Putin hundreds of millions of dollars. This won’t lower prices at the pump, it’ll only fund Putin’s war on Ukraine all while Russia helps Iran target American troops. Reverse this decision immediately. politico.com/live-updates/20…

Trump promised to bring prices down on Day One. It’s Day 168 of $6 gas in California because of President Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran. Republicans repeatedly voted to prolong the war, and you’re paying for it at the pump. Republicans’ war, your wallet.

251 years ago, the Continental Congress established the @USNavy. Here in Vallejo, Mare Island’s legacy lives on as a cornerstone of America’s maritime history. Thank you to all who have served at sea and ashore to keep our nation safe. Fair winds and following seas.

This raid is an abuse of power. Using federal law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress on the eve of an election is unprecedented and unacceptable. The federal government must never be weaponized against political opponents. I stand with @Ilhan.

“Calling for a livestream of the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is disturbing and makes a mockery of our legal system. There is a reason why we treat the meting out of justice with the seriousness it demands. We are a democratic country and should take the rule of law seriously, not turn it in to a spectacle." - @HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith

Today I joined @RepZoeLofgren and our California Congressional colleagues in denouncing President Donald Trump's attack against Los Angeles and San Diego.
