Thank you to my family, friends, volunteers, staff and neighbors for your heartfelt support! @APNews has called the race. I will fight for you and for working families every step of the way and I won’t back down. I’ve got your back, just like you had mine—we’re in this together and we will fight on. #CA34

Today’s Supreme Court decision makes it clear: Trump is taking legal status away from immigrants who already have it. Haitian and Syrian TPS holders followed the law, worked, paid taxes and built lives here. Now every TPS holder is wondering: am I next? Cruelty by design.

Birthright citizenship isn’t a gift from a president, it’s a promise in the Constitution itself.

Months ago, I introduced legislation to stop Presidents from putting their signatures on U.S. currency because I knew Trump would try something like this. But even I didn’t expect to wake up to reports that Trump is now trying to invent a completely made-up $250 bill just so he can slap his ugly face on it. This is embarrassing for the country, and we must stop it.
The Trump admin reportedly pressured the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Trump's face. The Director of the Printing Bureau was then removed from her role after raising concerns that federal law prohibits money from featuring living people.

Good. Now instead of spending $1.8 billion on a taxpayer-funded slush fund for insurrectionists and Trump’s political allies, how about we use that money to build homes, lower costs, and actually help working families?
BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked any further action involving Trump’s $1.776 billion fund for fraudsters and insurrectionists, preserving the status quo while litigation moves forward.

I’m honored to have participated in yesterday’s historic naming ceremony for the Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez United States Courthouse in Los Angeles. This landmark will forever celebrate the contributions of Latino families to the civil rights movement.

Pancreatic cancer is hard to detect until it’s too late…I hope that this proves to be game changing for people inflicted with this disease and their families.
A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers. Learn more: mayocl.in/4eippBP

There is no place for political violence in our country. I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.

Trump and Republicans are ignoring the cost of living crisis. Democrats are laser-focused on delivering results and driving down costs.

Thanks to Donald Trump, high gas prices are here to stay.  His war with Iran is costing the American people.

Trump is driving the U.S. economy into the ground.  Fewer job opportunities. Rising inflation. And skyrocketing costs.  Life should not be this hard.

I just voted on a War Powers Resolution to force Trump to end the war in Iran. Republicans blocked it, AGAIN. This war has already cost $35 billion, money that could be going toward lowering costs and helping families. Republicans chose more spending & pain for working families.

A soldier preparing to deploy for our country brought his new wife to base so they could start planning their life together. Instead, ICE handcuffed her and ripped her away. Trump is turning what should have been one of the happiest times in this couple’s life into a nightmare.
ICE has detained the newlywed spouse of a US Army staff sergeant who will train to deploy later this month: "She was going to move in after the Easter weekend. Instead, she got ripped away from me... We were doing everything the right way."

There is something deeply wrong with a President who sees himself as Jesus and thinks it is okay to attack the Pope. Trump is attacking the faith of more than a billion Catholics around the world. This is not the behavior of a stable person.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

President Donald Trump showing up at the Supreme Court today is unprecedented. No sitting president has EVER attended oral arguments. Let’s call it what it is: intimidation tied to an extreme attempt to end birthright citizenship.
Donald Trump will attend today's Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship. His DOJ will claim those born in America should not be considered citizens, tossing aside 150 years of precedent.
