  • On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom for Black Americans & reflect on the work ahead. Amid attempts by this Administration at racial gerrymandering and rolling back equal opportunity initiatives, it is important now more than ever to recommit to the fight against systemic racism.

  • Todd Blanche has a lot to answer for regarding his handling of the Epstein Files. He should not be confirmed as Attorney General, he should be testifying before our committee. We need justice.

  • Trump is paying nearly $800 million in taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind projects and NOT produce American energy. Especially here in Long Beach, offshore wind development creates jobs and lowers costs. This will hurt our neighbors and delay our country's clean energy…

  • This Administration has stalled the release of the Epstein files every step of the way. Trump is calling it a hoax. His Vice President is holding secret meetings. His former defense lawyer, and possibly the next AG, is saying the investigation is over. It's outrageous.

  • Stephen Miller is trying to suspend habeas corpus, which allows people to challenge the basis of their detention, in some immigration cases. Miller's attempt to revoke this fundamental aspect of due process is an egregious violation of our Constitution, and we're fighting back.

  • While you're struggling to pay for gas and groceries, the Kushners just bought a private island off the Albanian coast. Jared Kushner is traveling the world doing Trump's bidding and enriching himself at the same time. This is pure corruption, and we'll keep fighting back.
