DeSaulnier Digest
Last week on Capitol Hill, I joined my fellow Democrats in voting for a War Powers Resolution, which would put a stop to Trump's illegal war in Iran. The President has offered no coherent strategy, goals, or endgame for this war, which has already claimed the lives of seven American servicemembers. I have heard consistent and resounding opposition to this war from members of our community and it is clear Americans do not want another regime-change war in the Middle East.
Happy Women's History Month!
One way to celebrate this month is by joining our upcoming Town Hall on Advancing Women's Equality on Thursday, March 12th in Orinda. From 6:30 - 7:30 p.m., I will be joined by special guests from First 5 Contra Costa and the League of Women Voters to discuss a host of issues, including protecting women's civil liberties and improving quality of life. As always, we look forward to taking your questions.
I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that we are here to serve you! Our office is ready and available to assist you in dealing with issues withfederalagencies, including:

In just the first month of 2026, the Trump Administration's policies have unleashed deadly violence inour communities, entangled American troops in foreign conflict, and obstructed the full release of the Epstein files.
In the days since I voted against any funding for ICE, agents from the rogue agency executed another American citizen in broad daylight, abducted and detained a 5-year-old child, and continue to terrorize Minneapolis. The lawlessness must end and ICE must be reined in now. I have called on all U.S. Senators to reject funding for ICE when it comes up for a vote this week, and I continue to demand an independent investigation of the ICE agents involved in these killings to ensure they are held accountable to the full extent of the law.
Today marks one year since President Trump was sworn in to office, and his tenure has been marked by lawlessness and depravity. This past week, in the wake of the tragic killing of Renee Good, ongoing ICE violence in our communities, and subsequent lies from the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Trump Administration, I signed onto a resolution to impeach Secretary Noem. Impeachment is not a process I take lightly, but it may be our only option to enact real change.
From failing to lower costs for the American people to enabling deadly violence from ICE agents in our communities, the Trump Administration's policies continue to neglect the best interests of the American people.
Happy New Year!
