Donald Trump is terrified of voters holding his party accountable for enabling his disastrous policies. He lost dozens of lawsuits challenging his 2020 election failure, and I hope that this anti-democratic lawsuit is also laughed out of court.
JUST IN: The Trump administration has preemptively filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's US Senate election if the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan loses in the state which could decide the balance of power in the Senate. cnn.it/4i52DPm

The security of our elections should never be a partisan issue. Every eligible American has the right to vote in a free and fair election. As the Trump Administration escalates its attacks on our elections, I introduced the SHIELD Act alongside @RepZoeLofgren to protect our elections from unlawful federal interference and hold those who break the law accountable.

Dozens of AI safety incidents have come to light in recent months, with thousands more under investigation. We can’t count on the Trump Administration to act, so I’m working with @RepZoeLofgren and @RepRaskin to ask AI companies to report incidents to Congress. Congress needs to put real guardrails on AI, and this information will help us get it right.

I’m deeply sad to hear about the passing of Dolores Huerta, a friend and legend in the farmworkers’ movement. Her work and her vision transformed our country, especially here in her home state of California. She embodied the spirit of the movement with her phrase that will live on for generations: Sí Se Puede. May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all who loved her.

Inflation in Donald Trump's economy is only getting worse.  Swipe to see how much more you're paying since last September.

Western Growers’ Jeana Cadby joined Rep. Zoe Lofgren for a visit to @Stanford to explore innovative research in plant biotechnology. Bioengineering offers promising opportunities for agriculture, from repurposing waste into food products to improving crop resilience and water and nutrient use efficiency. Securing next-generation crop innovations for farmers is a priority for Western Growers. Continued support from our public and academic partners will be critical to turning promising research into real-world solutions. Thank you, @RepZoeLofgren, for highlighting this important work!
I had a wonderful time this week visiting the bioengineering labs at @Stanford to see some of the cutting edge research they’re doing on plant and fungal biotech. The work that’s being done here is an important part of maintaining America’s scientific and agricultural leadership.

Quick reminder that the Secretary of Agriculture didn’t know how much money farmers lost last year because of her policy decisions.

Today, my colleagues @RepKevinMullin, @RepHuffman, @aishabbwahab, and I conducted an unannounced visit to the detention facility being operated by CBP at SFO. There have been reports of people being detained for multiple days in a facility not designed or equipped for that purpose. We will continue conducting oversight visits and our work to ensure transparency and accountability.

Donald Trump has forced Americans to pay the price for his reckless and illegal war with Iran.  Spending more at the pump means families have to make tough decisions.  Rent or gas? Food or gas?  This is no way to live.

I'm proud to share that I just received a 100% rating on the @HRC scorecard for the 119th Congress! I’ve supported LGBTQ+ rights throughout my public service career, and I’ll continue fighting for dignity and freedom for all Americans.

I joined @RepZoeLofgren to demand answers to the Trump Admin’s destruction of the tools that keep us safe from extreme weather events. Americans need better warnings, not satellite-sized blind spots.
The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years. cnn.it/4k6eD4o
