To every officer in my district, from city departments to county and federal agencies, thank you for putting your lives on the line to keep our communities safe. This #NationalPoliceWeek, I honor the bravery, sacrifice, and service of law enforcement officers across our nation.

Let’s not lose sight: the fight to protect Medicaid isn’t about numbers—it’s about people. I shared the stories of two constituents, Victoria and Stephen, who rely on Medicaid for the essential care they need to survive. In Victoria’s words: “Health care is non-negotiable, and

Republicans want to cut $715 billion from Medicaid. How? By making it harder for everyone to get their health care. Georgia shows us exactly how this plays out.👇

Here’s what we know so far about the bombing at the American Reproductive Centers IVF facility in Palm Springs. To our communities: My heart is with you. I’m standing with you, and we’ll get through this together. I’ll continue to share updates as I receive them. Stay tuned.

Despite the deliberate and targeted act of domestic terrorism, our communities are safe. Tonight, I spoke on the House Floor to thank our first responders and to tell the people of Palm Springs: my heart is with you, and I stand by you.

The Republican bill to cut Medicaid for 13.7 million people is godawful. Don’t just take my word for it: even Senator Hawley Press Office (R-Missouri) says no Republican should support it.

I just signed a discharge petition to repeal Trump’s tariff tax on Canada and Mexico. Families are already feeling the pressure, and I’m taking action to stop everyday costs from rising. Let’s focus on lowering prices, not making them worse.

Today, I’m at the Rules Committee, the final stop before Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” heads to the House Floor. This bill slashes Medicaid and SNAP, driving up everyday costs just to hand out tax breaks to billionaires. I’m here — showing up, sharing your stories, and fighting for

Think Medicaid cuts won’t affect you because you have private insurance? Think again. When hospitals absorb more unpaid care, everyone feels it. Here are 4 ways we all pay the price… 👇

It’s 1AM in Washington and the Republicans’ “Big Ugly Bill” just got even uglier. They’re coming for Medicaid and SNAP, but we are not backing down. I’ll be here as long as it takes to defend these programs that millions rely on. I’ll keep you posted.

What the hell is wrong with House Republicans? After an all-night debate, House Republicans just passed a bill that: ❌ Slashes food assistance and SNAP ❌ Guts health care and Medicaid for working families 💰 And still adds over $5 trillion to the national debt? So I’ll ask

I joined Congressman Seth Magaziner and Rep. Diana DeGette to talk about what Medicaid cuts would mean for our communities, from Rhode Island to Colorado to California. Millions could lose health care. Hospitals could shut down. We should be strengthening our health care system, not tearing

I whole-heartedly condemn the violence at the Capital Jewish Museum. It is heartbreaking and unacceptable. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this senseless tragedy.

In a letter to @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom, I urged him to reconsider any plans to close Calipatria State Prison, an essential source of hundreds of good-paying jobs in the #ImperialValley. With the Spreckels Sugar Plant already shutting down, our communities can’t take another

This #MemorialDay, we remember the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. We honor their legacy by standing up and serving the living. That’s why I reintroduced the #MajorRichardStarAct with @WWP to ensure combat-wounded veterans receive both their retirement pay

I sat down with #ImperialValley growers to listen and learn about how the closure of Speckles Sugar in City of Brawley is negatively affecting the local economy. I will do all I can to help find a solution that puts the needs of our communities first.   I am steadfast in

Yesterday, we gathered in cityoflaquinta to honor the life and legacy of Corporal Hunter Lopez, a beloved son of our community who gave his life in service to our Nation during the Kabul airport attack on August 26, 2021. As part of legislation I authored and passed, we
