Americans want our leaders to crack down on corporate abuse—and President Biden is listening.

I proposed my Choices for Stranded Airline Passengers Act last year to guarantee travelers a prompt refund when flights are delayed or canceled. I'm thrilled U.S. Department of Transportation is making this happen!

Noncompete clauses prevent employees from taking a better job or starting a business within their industry. This keeps wages low, hurts employees, and discourages competition.

Today’s move by FTC to ban these harmful contracts will help workers and our economy thrive.

For decades, Big Oil had the upper hand to lease public lands for oil and gas drilling.

Now, thanks to President Biden, leases for conservation work will be treated the same. I advocated for this new rule so we can protect habitats and preserve our public lands for generations to come.

Happy ! As a proud member of Natural Resources Democrats and House of Reps. SEEC, I’m fighting to protect our environment.

From taking on Big Oil—and winning—to improving accessibility in our national parks, I want every American to enjoy our planet for generations to come.

In honor of , admission to our beautiful national parks is FREE today—including all nine in California.

Each year, I try to get to as many parks as I can to enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking views, and, as a member of Natural Resources Democrats, conduct oversight too!

We need to send the right responders to emergencies. My Mental Health Justice Act would help communities create mental health responder units to save lives and connect people in crisis with the care they need.

Great to join Community Safety Agenda this week!

In yesterday’s arguments, some justices tried to compare Jan. 6 and peaceful protests. They are not the same.

To be convicted for obstructing an official proceeding, the law requires corrupt intent—which prosecutors have proven for ~50 Jan. 6 defendants.

Southern California 📢

I pushed USCIS to bring an Afghan Support Center to Orange County, and I’m thrilled this important resource opened yesterday. Until Saturday, 160+ community organizations are on hand to connect resettled Afghans with assistance. Details 👇
