💧GOOD NEWS: @cityofsanjose.bsky.social just received a $3.14 million EPA grant to help strengthen its stormwater infrastructure and stop pollutants from entering SF Bay. I voted for the EPA funding bill this year, and I’ll continue to support projects that keep our water and air clean.

(1/2) 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.

🚨NEW: @georgewhitesides.bsky.social and I have introduced the SHIELD Our Elections Act, a bill to prevent unlawful ballot seizures and empower state AGs and voters to protect against illegal election interference from federal officials.

I had a wonderful time this week visiting the bioengineering labs at @stanfordpress.bsky.social 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.

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.

I'm proud to share that I just received a 100% rating on @hrc.org’s 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 @lofgren.house.gov 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.
