8/24 is Mamba Day🐍 I've said it before––you can't tell the story of LA sports without Kobe Bryant. Today, I am reminded of his legacy on and off the court.

✈️NEWS: Thanks to my efforts along with California Governor and Rep. Ken Calvert, CAL FIRE has started flying C-130H aircraft to combat wildfires! CA will now be able to respond to wildfires more quickly and effectively as we face drier conditions and increasingly devastating fires.

✈️ICYMI: the first of California’s C-130 H aircraft began flying missions as part of CAL FIRE's fleet to better protect the state from deadly wildfires. This is a HUGE asset for protecting our communities from worsening fire seasons.

AG Paxton isn't fooling anyone. These raids were a targeted attempt to suppress the vote and intimidate voters of color––and there is no room for either in our democracy.

Thank you, Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD for sharing your story and reminding others that they are not alone and that help is available. When we share our stories, we get one step closer to ending the stigma around mental health. If you or a loved one is struggling, you can call or text 988.

On this day in 1963, over 250,000 people marched in Washington, demanding equality and civil rights for all. Today, we honor their legacy by continuing the fight for a just and equitable future envisioned by Dr. King and countless others.

Emmett Till’s story marks one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. Nearly 70 years after his murder, we must keep fighting for justice and equality for all.

I wrote to urge the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the targeted raids of several Latino voting rights organizers and candidates. These raids will only serve to intimidate voters and suppress marginalized voices. AG Paxton should be held accountable.

⛰️Creating the Sáttítla National Monument would protect over 206,000 acres of culturally significant and ecologically rich public land in northern California. That's why I, along with Senator Laphonza Butler and Adam Schiff, are urging President Biden to do just that. sfchronicle.com/california/art…

Workers are the backbone of California and our country. That's why we will continue to fight for fair wages, equal access to employment, and the right to organize this Labor Day––and every day after.

Reminder: when Senate Democrats brought a bill to the floor that would require insurance to cover IVF, nearly every Republican voted against it. When it comes to reproductive rights, watch how Republicans vote, not what they say.

My thoughts and prayers are with the students, faculty, and families of Apalachee High School. No child or teacher should live in fear of going to school. It’s far past time to ban assault weapons and pass meaningful, comprehensive gun safety laws.

Residents of Southern California have had to put up with unsafe sewage and pollution flowing into the Tijuana River for far too long. That's why I joined leaders in San Diego today to reaffirm our commitment to ending this public health crisis and restoring the Tijuana River.
