Spent this morning with students at Pacific Ridge High School talking about civic engagement and the future of our democracy. Several of them are voting for the very first time this cycle, and their energy and sense of purpose gave me real hope.
We need to get the nuclear waste off our coast.
More than 1,600 tons of spent nuclear fuel are still stored at SONGS, but it was never meant to stay there forever.
This week, I released my 2026 San Onofre report on the progress we’ve made and the work still ahead.

"The company that owned a private prison in Appleton offered to sell it to MN for $75m Year later, Trump agreed to use taxpayer $ to buy it from CoreCivic for $495.6m The price difference, $420m, is more than was lost in much-publicized Feeding Our Future scandal" www.kare11.com/article/news...

Anyone who participated in Epstein’s crimes or abused women and girls must be held accountable.
No matter who they are or how powerful they may be. It’s that simple.
Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files? Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.
New reporting shows a subsidiary of private prison company GEO Group just gave another $1M to MAGA Inc., bringing its total to $5.4M, part of $7.2M to Republican committees this cycle.

I’ll make this as clear as I can:
A President can NOT demand that election results are overturned for the sole reason that he doesn’t like their outcome.
