Senate Republicans just voted to let President Trump and his billionaire buddies steal from working families in order to cut their own taxes by trillions of dollars.

As I’ve been saying, California is just the test case. Trump is now saying the quiet part out loud: blue cities and states are being specifically targeted to stoke fear, violence, and chaos — all to punish the people that didn’t vote for him.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation. We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation. Not despite our immigrant population –– but because of it.

If Donald Trump gets away with deploying the National Guard and Marines into LA without clear authority or justification, he won’t stop there. This isn’t just an attack on Los Angeles — it’s a test run for using the military against any American city he chooses.

Trump denying women emergency health care is not "pro-life" –– it's regressive and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

2.4 TRILLION dollars. That's how much Trump's ugly spending bill is going to cost us — all so the ultra-wealthy can collect their tax benefits while 10.9 MILLION children and families get kicked off health care. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Harvey Milk's legacy will not be erased by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's petty culture wars and attempts to undermine the tremendous contributions and service of the LGBTQ+ community to our country.

Happy Pride Month, California! This month and every month, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community—and I’ll never stop fighting for your right to live openly, authentically, and safely. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🇺🇸This Memorial Day, we honor and mourn the servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving up their lives for our freedom. Their service, sacrifice, and bravery will never be forgotten.

Yesterday, Republicans in the Senate tried to jam through the SAVE Act –– which would lead to the disenfranchisement of millions of eligible American citizens if passed. I blocked it.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 21/05/2025

Republicans want to overturn half a century of precedent to undermine California’s ability to protect the health of our residents. Why? Because to them, it’s more important to appease big oil than it is for your kid to breathe clean air.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 15/05/2025

I won’t sit back and watch as extremist Republicans in the White House and in Congress try to undermine our democracy. I’m leading the fight to stop this anti-voter agenda.

ICYMI: While Republicans are working to gut Medicaid and Social Security, Trump is accepting a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar. For Trump, it’s always about enriching himself and leaving working families behind. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Standing up to Trump and his attacks on our environmental and public health protections isn’t new for California. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 10/05/2025

As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth. Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy — Trump’s tariffs!

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 09/05/2025

President Trump’s unjustified decision to fire Dr. Carla Hayden as the Librarian of Congress is deeply troubling and just the latest example of Trump’s assault on the legislative branch of government. Read my full statement below.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 23/04/2025

The Trump Administration has dismantled regulations and rules that established clean energy policies, protected public lands, and combatted climate change head-on. This Earth Day, we’re fighting back against these attacks because California will always stand up for the future of our planet.

Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce. I was proud to join nurses in San Diego to stand up for our veterans.

Trump wants YOU to pay for his billionaire tax breaks. We’re not gonna stand for it.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 05/04/2025

Trump’s signature move? Trillions in tax breaks for his wealthy friends and corporations, while leaving families to pay the price. When is enough enough?

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 04/04/2025

Working families are paying more today than they were before Trump became president. Why? Because Trump lied on the campaign trail. He’s not lowering costs for working families, he’s lowering taxes for his wealthy donors.

Trump’s top security officials were caught openly sharing classified information and putting our troops at risk, yet he refuses to take action. Why is Trump afraid to hold his team accountable?

I visited San Diego's Rady's Children's Hospital this week to hear directly from families who rely on Medicaid to access essential health care for their kids. Trump and Republicans want to gut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for billionaires. We're going to fight them on it.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American families. Plain and simple. www.cnn.com/2025/03/09/b...

The single biggest contributor to our national debt in recent decades? Trump’s tax cuts from his first term. And now he wants a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires paid for by cutting YOUR Medicaid and Social Security.

Captain Frank Líma risked his life when deadly fires broke out in Los Angeles earlier this year. As President Trump lays out his priorities for America tonight, we must ensure that communities across Los Angeles, and firefighters like Captain Líma aren’t forgotten.

Republicans in the Senate are handing the reigns of our most important departments to dangerous, ideologically driven candidates, all to show Trump how loyal they are. When will they put the safety and best interests of the American people first?

Republicans are lying when they say they won't cut Medicaid. They greenlighted a plan to gut Medicaid by $880 billion, and millions of Americans are going to suffer because of it.
