The Trump administration’s policies and rhetoric have fueled the uptick in targeted hate and violence we’ve seen against Sikh Americans. I’m speaking out and standing with the Sikh community. In The Bakersfield Californian, I'm asking you to join me: www.bakersfield.com/opinion/comm...

Film and television production is a proven catalyst for economic development, regional tourism, and job creation. And in order for the U.S. to maintain its standing as a leader in the film and television production industry and spur more American jobs, we need a federal film tax incentive.

Gas prices are at an all-time high. The President’s response: Pay more at the pump. Another Big win for Big Oil. At the expense of Americans’ pocketbooks and health.

The White House is using funds meant to protect the country from terror attacks to illegally fund campaign commercials. Another flagrant example of how this administration’s rampant corruption and lawlessness hurt our national security.

The scope of frontier model misalignment is staggering. The past month has exposed how public admissions are just the tip of the iceberg. AI agents have colluded, escaped their sandboxes, hacked other companies, meddled with government portals — and that's just the ones we know about.

This month, the Senate Agriculture Committee advanced language I proposed last year to create the first-ever respiratory protection standards for wildland firefighters – something the federal government finally acknowledged last year would help protect them from illness.

With the support of the White House, my bill with Sen. Scott will create a competitive federal incentive to bring the movie magic back to America. This will lead to thousands of jobs and spur local economic growth across the nation.

We have a rare opportunity to pass a federal film tax incentive and bring movie production back to the U.S. — the best one we've had in decades. The direct and indirect jobs created by investing in this talented workforce will deliver $250 billion in economic activity over the next 7 years.

For months, I’ve been raising the alarm about the loss of staff at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and how it is imperiling their work protecting our wildlife and public lands. In December, 25% of the agency was gone. Now, it’s nearly 40%. But FWS still refuses to address the staffing crisis.

What's something President Trump, Christopher Nolan, and Congressional Democrats and Republicans agree on? Enacting a federal film tax credit to stop the offshoring of film and TV production. I've got a bill with Senator Tim Scott to do just that.

One of California’s largest Medi-Cal insurers is taking away critical care for thousands of Californians receiving assisted living benefits. I’m doing all I can to stop it. This decision will be devastating for far too many Golden State communities and needs to be reversed immediately.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.

If the President can't put his name on it, he is willing to close it or destroy it. He cares more about branding our institutions than preserving them. Congress allocated $257 million to repair the Kennedy Center. It should insist that work be done properly.
