Husband. Father. U.S. Senator for California. Fighting for an economy that works for everyone and for our democracy.
Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.
I was one of the first to learn that Stephen Colbert's show had been cancelled. More self-censorship by the media to placate a corrupt president. Let's break it down.
These senseless cuts to the @NWS will result in forecast delays that have deadly consequences. When it comes to fires, floods, and other disasters – this endangers the lives of millions. I'm pushing back against these cuts and fighting to protect all Californians.
There is a certain irony in the fact that the conspiracy theories Trump world helped amplify are now consuming him. And that the media empire that helped create Trump will now face the same extortionary pressure that enabled him to extract millions from ABC and CBS.
BREAKING: President Donald Trump Filed a lawsuit on Friday against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters, raising claims under federal libel law, court records show. The case was filed in Miami federal court.
Firing a prosecutor, either because she's James Comey's daughter or because she led the case against Jeffrey Epstein, is wrong. Neither is good for Trump – or the American people.
An unbelievable tragedy. Praying for the Deputies' families and every member of the Sheriff's office.
The three deaths are confirmed to be LA County Sheriff’s Deputies. The FBI Los Angeles office tells us they are now responding to the scene. Initial indications we are being told is this appears to be a terrible accident.
Donald Trump comes after me all the time. This week was no different. Well, I have a message for him:
Nice try @AGPamBondi. What about videos, photographs and other recordings? What about FBI 302’s (witness interviews)? What about texts and emails? That’s where the evidence about Trump and others will be. Grand jury testimony will only relate to Epstein and Maxwell.
President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
Alcatraz is an actual museum. A literal relic of the past. If you are looking for waste, fraud and abuse — it’s boondoggles like this.
TODAY: AG Pam Bondi & Interior Sec Doug Burgum are expected to visit Alcatraz, the shuttered prison off the coast of San Francisco that once housed some of the most dangerous criminals in the country Comes after Trump floated reopening the prison in May w/ @VeronicaStrac
The massive transfer of the personal data of millions of Medicaid recipients should alarm every American. This massive violation of our privacy laws must be halted immediately. It will harm families across the nation and only cause more citizens to forego lifesaving access to…
BREAKING: ICE officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all Medicaid enrollees, according to an agreement obtained by the AP. apnews.com/article/immigr…
Natural disasters are proliferating, and home insurance is becoming more unaffordable and unavailable. Today, I'm introducing the INSURE Act to create a federal reinsurance program – to lower insurance costs and keep families and small businesses protected.
.@SenBooker and I just tried to force a vote to allow the prosecutor who blew the whistle on Emil Bove to appear before the Judiciary Committee. Republicans ignored the rules – and rammed Bove through. All that matters to them is power and appeasing their Dear Leader.
Trump has always surrounded himself with "yes" men. So his dangerous nomination of Emil Bove to serve on a federal appeals court makes perfect sense. Trump needs someone who is willing to do his bidding. And ignore the law when he deems it inconvenient.
1 AM UPDATE: We’ve got some downtime between these late night votes, so I invited @SenAdamSchiff to my hideaway to talk Popcorners, Republican hypocrisy, and Kristi Noem propaganda.
I just offered an amendment to stop cuts to global health programs that save lives and protect disease from spreading everywhere — including in the United States. Republicans blocked it.
What are you hiding, Donald? Time to release the Epstein files.
Donald Trump is calling for me to be criminally prosecuted. It's nothing new – but his attacks on the rule of law are more dangerous than ever.
