I’m relieved that my constituents and all U.S. citizens have been released from Israeli detention. But the State Department was less than helpful, and going forward they must take these incidents much more seriously. Secretary Rubio must push to end Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid entering Gaza.

Three of my constituents from the Spring 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla have reportedly been detained by the Israeli navy in international waters while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. I’m calling on Secretary Rubio and the State Department to ensure their safety and fair treatment. The U.S. has an obligation to protect Americans abroad, and my team and I are working to safely get them home.

Trump’s religious extremist event this weekend to “rededicate” our country as a Christian nation would have our founders rolling in their graves.
We. Are. NOT.
And using taxpayer resources and public lands for this kind of event is a gross misuse of power to destroy church-state separation.
Trump administration will join a prayer gathering criticized for promoting Christian nationalism
President Donald Trump and several top administration officials are joining with a cast of mostly conservative Christian clergy this Sunday for a prayer gathering.

I got to teach Trump’s “Energy Czar” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum about an exciting new technology he clearly didn’t know about.
It’s called a battery.

I love visiting my alma mater UC Santa Barbara. It was great to chat with students, faculty, and locals about our efforts to push back on offshore drilling and fighting climate change. Thanks to everyone who came out to join us!
