Public broadcasting plays a crucial role in keeping Americans informed, especially in rural America. Without funding, small towns could see their only access to local news and emergency coverage vanish entirely. This would leave them disconnected from factual reporting and the…

Energy costs are already way too high for American families and the Big Ugly Bill is only going to drive costs higher. With heatwaves sweeping across the country, Republicans are killing the federal incentives for clean, affordable energy that are essential to driving down…

The Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program was passed with broad bipartisan support because Americans know that it is past time for rural America and our most underserved to finally get affordable, fast, and reliable internet. States were already well on their…

The Republicans knew exactly what they were doing and who it would hurt when they passed their Big Ugly Bill. They won't own up to their cruelty, but I'll make them own it.

Republicans voted to take healthcare away from 17 million Americans so they could help Donald Trump get his friends even more rich. Since the Republicans refuse to be transparent about their Big Ugly Bill, I feel it is critical that you hear the truth. That’s why I joined…

Again, in the dead of night, Republicans voted to cut $1.1 billion in funding for public radio and television broadcasting. This is an attack on the over 1500 local stations nationwide—and the millions of Americans who rely on them—all to satisfy President Trump’s obsession with…

Today in Sacramento, ICE conducted a raid at the Home Depot off Florin Rd. They arrived unannounced, masked, and violently abducted our neighbors. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s weaponizing ICE to instill fear and chaos in our community. My full statement:

Today, the Trump administration moved forward on their cruel and archaic choice to remove the LGBTQ+ youth option from the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Whether it is your loved ones, your neighbors, or yourself; mental health struggles affect us all. For the last three…

Donald Trump promised the American people that he would reduce the cost of living. The numbers don’t lie. He lied. cnbc.com/2025/07/15/cpi…

I have long led efforts to make sure California is at the forefront of the clean energy revolution. The results speak for themselves. California’s commitment to clean energy is paying off in incredible ways: ➡️Good jobs in a growing industry ➡️Reducing reliance on expensive…

The Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill forces an impossible dilemma for our veterans who are often forced to choose between full-time employment or full-time schooling. While the G.I. Bill provides excellent support and resources, it often does not provide enough to live on. Especially…

Gutting SNAP will have consequences that will ripple through every community in America. Not only will it kneecap a major economic driver for farmers, grocers, and communities but it will force kids to go hungry. If we are going to demand the best for our future generations then…

Clean energy is the proven new frontier in innovation, climate action, and job creation. The Big Ugly Bill backs away from the future to satisfy the greed of industries past. It’s a foolish and cruel choice. The only viable path forward demands decisive action to curb toxic…

This Independence Day, we celebrate the values that truly define America – caring for our friends and neighbors, lifting each other up, and standing up for freedom, opportunity, and democracy to ensure a better future for all. Let’s keep moving forward, together. I wish you all…

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is a betrayal of the American people. I voted NO on this cruel, shameful bill. My full statement below:

It’s unconscionable that one bill could simultaneously raise costs on working families, blow up the deficit, collapse rural hospitals, take health care from tens of millions, rip food from hungry kids, and fuel the climate crisis. No wonder every time Republicans have worked on…

This is a moral moment.

It's after 1 am and House Republicans have been stalled for hours—desperately scrambling for the votes to pass their Big Ugly Bill. Meanwhile, House Democrats are united and voting NO. Every. Single. Time. The more Americans learn about this bill, the more they hate it—and for…

Right now, Republicans are still trying to scrape the votes together to pass the Big Ugly Bill – and we need to keep spreading the word about how devastating the cuts in this bill really are. The Big Ugly Bill is the most significant loss of health care coverage in American…
