Republicans want to allow warrantless surveillance on U.S. citizens.
Democrats are fighting for your privacy. If the U.S. government wants to extend FISA, they need to obtain warrant to surveil U.S. citizens.
It's commonsense, but Republicans are fighting it tooth and nail.

No script. No filter. Just facts.
Today I voted YES to end Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran.
It’s shameful House Republicans chose to continue this illegal war- costing lives, raising prices, and hurting American families.
They must decide: stand with Trump or with Americans. Put America first and stop the madness.
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised relief, but instead they delivered higher costs.
Families are seeing smaller refunds, while gas prices spike and tariffs drive up costs
From the pump to the checkout line, working Americans are paying more while the wealthy get another tax break.
The House just passed the bipartisan ALERT Act—a major step to strengthen aviation safety after the tragic collision that took 67 lives.
My amendment to close the route that led to this tragedy was also included.
We owe it to the victims to protect the traveling public.
Americans paid +$25B to file their taxes this year after Trump killed Direct File.
It was a free tax-filing service that Californians and 23 other states could use. 90% of users rated it as "excellent" or "above average."
But TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7M lobbying the Trump admin to kill it.
“We face many NatSec challenges. As we look to this year & beyond, Congress must play a critical role in addressing these issues (and) reestablish its authority & responsibility as a co-equal branch of government."

I said what I said.
We need to look at all options for removal immediately, including impeachment and invoking the 25th amendment.

Trump’s threat to wipe out a “whole civilization” is dangerous and despicable. Trump said he’d be a dictator on day one and in last 442 days, he’s governed like one.
He is unfit to serve and it's time for his removal either by impeachment or the 25th Amendment.
Read my full statement:
“The President is simply out of control."
Trump is unraveling as he desperately tries to undo his war of choice in Iran.
He is unhinged and must be stopped immediately.
Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, I'll be hosting a virtual townhall at 6pm PT.
I'll answer all your questions on the economic fallout from the Iran war, the ongoing DHS government shutdown, the impacts of Trump’s health care cuts, and more.
See you there!

One year after Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day,” the results are clear:
California families face a $1,700 “Trump Tax,” 89,000+ manufacturing jobs lost, and a record trade deficit.
The Supreme Court struck down these tariffs, but the damage to the middle class remains.
Last night, Trump said it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare, and daycare because 'We’re fighting wars.'
Let me be clear: Trump dragged us into the war with Iran and now he wants to gut your health care to pay for it.
The Ranking Members of the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence Committees demanded that President Trump announce in tonight's address that he is negotiating a ceasefire and diplomatic end to his disastrous war of choice against Iran.
93,000 Contra Costa residents could lose Medi-Cal because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
No family should have to choose between medicine and food.
That’s why I’m fighting in Washington to stop these cuts, restore funding, and ensure everyone has healthcare.
This weekend, I attended the No Kings Rally in El Sobrante and El Cerrito.
Hundreds of us gathered to call out Trump's abuses: ICE agents killing U.S. citizens, and giving handouts to billionaires while cutting health care for the rest of us.
It's time this wannabe king got off his throne.
A new study finds that President Trump’s mass deportation agenda is costing the Bay Area $67 billion annually.
From lost labor to tax revenue shortfalls, Trump is driving up costs for everyone while terrorizing neighbors and tearing communities apart.
Cutting health care to pay for the Iran war? Republicans have their priorities all out of whack.
Their proposal would kick 300,000 off their health care and premiums would skyrocket all to pay for Trump's unending war of choice in Iran.
Americans need health care, not more wars in the Middle East.

Support for Trump's Iran War is at an all-time low.
And it's obvious why. Surging gas prices and war with no end in sight, justified by dozens of conflicting explanations.
No wonder Democrats and Republicans are overwhelmingly against Trump's war of choice in Iran.
A mom and her 9-year-old daughter plucked from the line at the airport by ICE agents in the middle of SFO is something that no child forgets.
Trump promised to go after the worst of the worst, yet ICE agents are targeting our neighbors and kids with impunity.
The violence needs to end.
My statement on the heartbreaking case of the ICE agents physically restraining a mother and daughter at SFO.
This is not okay from the leader of the free world.
Every comment sends oil markets spiraling, our allies into a frenzy, and the American people scrambling that their sons and daughters will be sent into Iran.
These are matters of life and death. Act like it.
While TSA lines continue to spiral out of control, President Trump is ranting no bill to fund the government will come until his midterm takeover bill, aka the SAVE Act passes.
I want to hear from you. Would you rather fund TSA today, or pass Trump's misguided bill?
Noem’s firing is just the start of holding this rogue administration accountable.
While we celebrate this victory, people remain in mass detention centers and the current administration’s agenda is still in full swing.
Now, we continue the oversight until the violence is off our streets for good.
In just a week, Trump’s illegal war with Iran has cost Americans $11.3 BILLION.
Now he and Republicans want more, even as they slash healthcare & food aid.
Americans deserve to know where our tax dollars and our troops are being sent.
7/ Before the SAVE Act moves forward in the Senate, we need to ask a simple question:
Is it worth stripping the voting rights of hundreds of millions of eligible Americans?
Our democracy depends on the answer.
