High surf conditions along the California coast are expected to continue over the next few days. Be sure to follow the guidance of local officials this holiday weekend, and avoid beaches where recommended.

It's always profits over people, with Wall Street now controlling many assisted living facilities across the country. Low wages and standards are the norm, and more oversight is needed to hold negligent facilities and their corporate owners accountable.

Our average donation is just over $20 because we're powered by a grassroots army of supporters, not lobbyists and greedy corporate special interests. As we approach the end of the quarter, can you donate today to keep our people-powered campaign strong?

Shocking no one -- when private equity firms take over hospitals, the quality of care decreases. Every Californian should receive the health care they need and deserve, regardless of who owns their hospital.

Building more affordable housing and addressing our state's auto emissions are intertwined. If we're serious about shortening commutes and improving our air quality, we need to build more housing closer to where people work.

I've long said that Medicare for All would deliver the highest quality, most cost-effective health care. If we're serious about unrigging our economy, tackling corporate greed within our health care system is a good place to start.

As the American population continues to age, we must invest in our long-term care industry and facilities, making it both cheaper and easier for anyone to receive the help they need without forking over their life savings.

Our nation’s so-called War on Drugs has ruined enough lives and hollowed out entire communities. Glad to see this welcomed step from President Biden, making pardons possible for thousands of people convicted of use and simple possession of marijuana.

The tragic effects of wildfires on the health of Californians cannot be overstated. With the climate crisis worsening fires, entire communities are at an increased risk for cancer simply due to their geology and geography.

I was beyond proud to have POTUS sign my bill lowering drug prices into law -- but we still have so much work to do to bring down costs for ALL prescription drugs.

Flight attendants deserve so much more respect than they receive, especially with airlines posting record profits.

I was proud to join AFA-CWA members at LAX today as they call on Alaska Airlines to provide employees with the wages and benefits they need to thrive.

2023 was the worst year for homelessness since the federal government began tracking in 2007. This is a national crisis, and it will take a historic investment from Washington to fix it.

It's remarkably easy to buy a gun for someone who shouldn't have one. I voted to make these so-called straw purchases illegal in 2022, but we still have a lot of work to do to make it easier for law enforcement to identify these transactions.
