Republicans are taking an axe to your housing, health care, and education, all to give tax cuts to billionaires.   They are literally stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

In California’s 19th Congressional District, more than 7,200 of our neighbors work for the federal government as non-partisan civil servants. Many of these public servants are fearful of this Administration’s indiscriminate federal funding cuts that could impact their jobs,

Powerful images coming out of California's own Yosemite National Park. Standing in solidarity with each and every National Park Service worker who lost their job or whose future is in limbo amidst Trump’s reckless firings.

Great event! Happy to be at the same table with Kevin Dayton, mix it up with other business leaders and hear from our local representatives! MBEP

The richest man in the world wants to cut your hard earned social security.

President Trump’s remarks show how vastly disconnected his policies are from our needs. Deporting workers and enacting tariffs will only achieve one thing: raising the cost of food and goods. No thanks. California is already great, we don’t need or want his agenda. #JointAddress

Feels good to know that Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Rep. Jimmy Panetta will do what they can to protect affordable housing funding for our region and beyond! MBEP

The Trump Administration is deporting immigrants without due process, based solely on their nationality. Courts determine whether people have broken the law. Not a President acting solo… and not immigration agents cherry-picking who gets imprisoned or deported.

Food banks and school lunches for kids aren’t “waste”––they're invaluable to communities. That's why I joined my colleagues in urging the Dept. of Agriculture to restore funding to local food programs across the country. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Our courts keep checking and balancing the Administration’s overreach. In just two months, courts have blocked 53 actions by this Administration, including: ✅ Funding freeze still frozen ✅ Judge rejects Trump’s attempt to remove her from a key case ✅ Trump blocked from

Thank you for your leadership Rep. Jimmy Panetta We appreciate you MBEP

Trump said he, "couldn’t care less if they raise prices.” Well, maybe the richest president in history doesn’t care when the cost of a new car, or a new home, or groceries go up, but for the people I represent in CA — this isn’t a game. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

📰NEWS: We secured an investigation into Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts to Department of Housing and Urban Development’s fair housing programs.    We’re not going to let Musk and Trump slash programs communities rely on without accountability. nytimes.com/2025/04/01/rea…

The Supreme Court's decision yesterday will put people in harm’s way. Though the Court held that noncitizens must be given due process prior to removal, we remain concerned about erroneous removals. Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Senator Dick Durbin, & I are watching to ensure Trump

Affordable housing continues to be THE issue in the 19th Congressional District. That’s why I will continue to push for the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act to expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and incentivize the development of more affordable housing.

Congress should definitely reclaim its fiscal policy authority!

Proud to author and introduce the Reclaim Trade Powers Act which would repeal outdated authorities and ensure that Congress, not a president, has authority over tariffs and our nation’s trade policy. montereyherald.com/2025/04/07/pan…

Earth’s precious lands and oceans must be protected and safeguarded not just on Earth Day, but for generations to come. It’s why Sen. Cory Booker, Senator Jack Reed, and I introduced a pair of bills –– including my West Coast Ocean Protection Act –– to permanently protect the Pacific and

If you're wondering why the apparent ICE detention of SEIU California leader David Huerta is all over your timeline: SEIU is one of the biggest players in CA politics, which you're seeing with the many electeds demanding Huerta's release. A major, combustible standoff

The Trump administration claims that ICE is only going after violent criminals. If they were, there would be no debate. But we know better. ICE’s own data shows that more than 70% of recent arrests had no criminal convictions.
