Excellence without exploitation

1/2 National Medal of Science winner Dr. Richard Tapia, one of the most important Latinos in the history of Texas, has died. He was a distinguished professor at @RiceUniversity. In 1996 he won the Presidential Award for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. ❤️🇲🇽🇺🇸

Mexico and the European Union signed a long-stalled free-trade agreement as they seek to decrease dependence on the U.S. and insulate themselves from Trump's tariffs reut.rs/3PY3GW3

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement and a tireless advocate for a better food system. Carlo helped the world see food as culture, community, and a responsibility to the people who grow it. His influence lives on in California’s work to nourish our children, support our farmers, and strengthen communities through regenerative organic agriculture.

Guys let’s get this more views. Andrew gave everything for Ukraine and this is a great interview.

The Trump Slush Fund is so audacious, so flagrant, so outside the law, it takes your breath away. One can barely speak. But you know who can speak? Kevin D. Williamson. For which I'm glad. thedispatch.com/article/trump-…

The whole world must see this. A Ukrainian serviceman released on May 15, 2026, testifies to torture, starvation, denial of medical care, and deaths inside the Kamyshin detention center in Russia. Ukrainian prisoners — both military personnel and civilians — are being held in inhumane conditions. International organizations are denied access. The world must act immediately. #SaveUkrainianPOWs #HumanRights #Ukraine

I’ve sat through years of hearings, negotiations, and rewrites to get the Clarity Act to this point, and the reason is simple: American consumers and industry deserve a real framework, not regulatory limbo.

Why are all the women resigning and getting fired, and not the men?

I introduced six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts for compromising the credibility of the Supreme Court. See my release below. cohen.house.gov/media-center/p…

Man, today's print in US consumer sentiment is brutal.

Today, we honor Harvey Milk, who fiercely fought against injustice and who reminds us that "hope will never be silent." California stands with the LGBTQ community and all who face hate and inequality. We will never back away from the fight for freedom and acceptance for all.

16 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 #bitcoin worth $30 on two Papa John's pizzas. Today, that 10,000 BTC is worth $773,361,294. Legend! 🙌

I lost my election on the six month anniversary of the Epstein Files Transparency Act becoming law. Those buggers don’t waste any time.

We’re opening an EU-Mexico Summit of historic importance. There is so much Europe and Mexico can offer one another. But even more importantly, there is so much we can achieve together. A stronger partnership starts today. 🇪🇺🇲🇽

The New York Times rightly stands behind @NickKristof 's careful and accurate account of Israel's systematic sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. trib.al/QDq4Fon

Over 500 of us showed up for @HOPELatinas #LatinaActionDay last week. I advocated for #SB1237 (authored by @Cblakespear), a critical step toward strengthening pay equity and accountability in California. SB 1237 enhances transparency by requiring annual reporting on civil rights enforcement funds and increases penalties for repeated failure to submit pay data. Together, these changes help ensure stronger enforcement of protections and support efforts to address workplace inequities across our state.
