[WATCH] Trump is still trying to steal our elections

[1]Alex Padilla for Senate Friends, Donald Trump is still trying to steal our elections. The SAVE Act hasn’t gone away — Trump and the GOP are still pushing as hard as they can, and Democrats must keep the pressure on and stay united in opposition. I know it can be hard to follow w…

No more war with Iran:

[1]Alex Padilla for Senate I’m sure by now you’ve seen Trump’s unhinged post this morning about Iran. This is sick. It’s morally bankrupt, and Congress must act immediately to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Instead of focusing on the very real issues we face here in the United …

We blocked $$$ for ICE and Border Patrol. What’s next?

[1]Alex Padilla for Senate I’ve got some good news for you. Democrats stood strong and united and successfully blocked funding for Trump’s ICE! This is a big win against Trump and his rogue administration, but the fight is far from over. Look, I know there’s a lot happening with the p…

Donald Trump is trying to steal the midterm elections

Kristi Noem, you’re fired

[1]Alex Padilla for Senate I wanted to make sure you saw the news: Thanks to relentless organizing and pressure from the American people, Kristi Noem has been fired as DHS Secretary. Good! Her tenure was a complete disaster. 34 people died in DHS custody last year, and 10 more have d…

I will not give ICE or Border Patrol another dime while they act with such reckless disregard for life, safety, and the Constitution.
