Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 03/07/2025House Republicans just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. A bill that takes away health care for over 17 million Americans, closes hospitals, raises utility bills, explodes the deficit, and gives a trillion dollar handout to the wealthiest people in the country. This bill is the ultimate betrayal. 11548897
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 02/07/2025The American people won’t forget how Republicans voted to eliminate their health care and jack up their energy bills — all to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 28/06/2025Trump and Republicans are putting health care, nutrition assistance, hospitals, and even public lands on the chopping block all to give tax breaks to their billionaire donors.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 18/06/2025Doctors — not the Supreme Court — should be making medical decisions.

We can’t let them get away with it. 791097336
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 16/06/2025As 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. 84765233
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 12/06/2025If 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.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 11/06/2025If Donald Trump gets away with deploying the National Guard and Marines into LA without clear authority or justification, he won’t stop there.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 21/05/2025Republicans 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. 2722462
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 15/05/2025As far as Republicans are concerned, the biggest issue facing our nation is that the rich aren't rich enough. That's why they're trying to gut Medicaid despite millions of Americans relying on it for their health care. To give tax breaks to billionaires. 7428071
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 15/05/2025I 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. 3833661
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 14/05/2025Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans –– including children and the elderly.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 12/05/2025ICYMI: While Republicans are working to gut Medicaid and Social Security, Trump is accepting a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 10/05/2025As 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! 2133052
Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 09/05/2025President 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. 2731167

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 17/04/2025Trump’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. 652044386

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · 04/04/2025Working 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. 2428751
