Last month, I voted no on sending weapons to Israel for Netanyahu's unconscionable bombing campaign in Gaza. I remain deeply concerned about an Israeli invasion of Rafah, where 1.3 million people are currently sheltering. I support @POTUS 's decision.

Biden tells CNN he won't send weapons to Israel if they launch a major invasion of Rafah. It's the first time he's publicly put conditions on aid.

We applaud @POTUS for taking on China's unfair trade practices to protect American workers. For too long, China's overcapacity in the shipbuilding, steel, and aluminum sectors have undermined American jobs, but today's actions are an important step to level the playing field.

“It doesn’t make any sense” amid military recruiting shortfalls, says Dem Rep. John Garamendi on the House Armed Services Committee -- as the Army considers cuts to two popular but increasingly costly education benefits, per @Militarydotcom .

I was devastated to hear of the Baltimore Bridge collapse. My thoughts are with those missing, their families, and the heroic team of first responders. I am praying for safety as they continue the search, and peace for all those impacted.

I work to secure much-needed federal funding for local projects that deliver affordable housing, access to healthy food, better public transit, reliable childcare, and more walkable neighborhoods. These 13 projects will make our community an even better place to live!

The new Sentinel nuclear missile program is 2 years behind schedule and already costs billions more than expected.   The Pentagon misled Congress and owes the American people an explanation.   @RepGaramendi and I are pressing for answers.

Here's the deal: Contra Costa County and dozens of other Californian cities used these funds for their intended purposes: to support and protect some of the most vulnerable of our neighbors. FEMA should fully reimburse our community.

I've been fighting against the Buy America loophole for manufactured products in federal-aid highway projects for years. I am tremendously pleased with the decision by the Biden-Harris Administration to end the waiver. It's simple: American taxes should go to American workers.
BREAKING: The Federal Highway Administration just announced it is proposing an end to its 40-year blanket waiver of Buy America requirements for manufactured products. This is a *massive breakthrough* for Buy America. Here's @ScottPaulAAM :

The Endangered Species Act was intended to be a tool to protect our vulnerable wildlife, NOT as a scapegoat for anti-choice MAGA Republicans to further restrict women’s rights and access to contraception.

Grocery prices are already too high, and Americans can't afford for them to keep climbing. The thousands of workers employed by Kroger and Albertson-owned stores are also in jeopardy. The well-being of American consumers and workers must always come before corporate greed.

Rampant consolidation in our defense industry is putting innovation, supply chains, and national security at risk. @RepGaramendi and I are calling on @DeptofDefense to conduct more thorough and transparent reviews of defense mergers and acquisitions.

The Alabama Supreme Court Ruling earlier this week made one thing very clear: It was never about protecting life, it's about controlling women. Politicians - federal or state - should never have a say in when, how, or if a woman chooses to start a family. Full stop.
