House Democrats are fighting to save health care and protect SNAP. Because no one should ever have to worry about seeing a doctor or going hungry.

Once again, a judge has ordered the Trump Administration to uphold the law and pay full SNAP benefits. And what’s their response? Appeal it. Trump is fighting in court to stop 42 million hungry Americans from getting food.

Our nation is stronger because of Nancy Pelosi’s remarkable leadership. She’s spent her entire trailblazing career fighting fearlessly for what’s right and never backing down. I’m deeply proud to call Nancy an idol, a mentor, a colleague and a friend. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Trump’s cruelty knows no end. He found $40 billion for Argentina but is deliberately withholding food from 40 million hungry children, seniors, and Veterans at home.

Open Enrollment is underway, but premiums are skyrocketing for nearly 2 MILLION Californians because Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. While Republicans deliberately hike premiums for working families, Democrats are fighting to reopen the government & lower health costs.

Trump and Secretary Rollins have the power to fully fund SNAP in November using contingency funds. They are choosing not to. These are just a few of the food banks serving the San Gabriel Valley. For a more complete list, visit: www.cdss.ca.gov/food-banks

Under Trump, even Halloween has gotten more expensive. 🎃 Candy prices are up 10.8%. Costumes and decorations cost more than ever. 🍭🍬 Trump's reckless tariffs are crushing working families & Republicans are doing nothing to stop him. tcf.org/content/comm...

A 62-year-old freelance worker in Claremont is at risk of losing his ACA coverage. Meanwhile, Trump and Mike Johnson just extended House Republicans’ taxpayer-funded vacation for another week instead of working to reopen the government or fix the health care crisis they created.

Today marks 154 years since the 1871 Los Angeles Chinese Massacre—one of the deadliest and least known mass lynchings in U.S. history. We remember the 18 Chinese lives lost, honor our community’s resilience, and vow to ensure this history is never erased or repeated.

Today I met with National Air Traffic Controllers Association to discuss how our hardworking air traffic controllers are already overworked and understaffed. Now they’re being forced to work without pay during the GOP shutdown. Republicans must work with @HouseDemocrats to reopen the government.

Today, I attended the celebration of life for my friend Kent Wong, a champion for workers, immigrants, and the AANHPI community. His legacy lives on through the institutions he built, progress he inspired, & leaders he mentored.

A single mom & small business owner lost everything in the Eaton Fire. Now her health care premiums are jumping from $350 to $800 PER MONTH because Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. This is what Republicans are doing to health care.

List of Trump’s Priorities:   ❌Negotiate with Democrats to reopen the government ❌Lower health care premiums for millions of Americans ✅Destroy parts of the White House to build himself a $250 million ballroom

Health care premiums are about to DOUBLE for MILLIONS of Americans.    Democrats are fighting to stop it. House Republicans? Still on day 31 of vacation.

#HappyDiwali! 🪔 Wishing everyone who celebrates a season filled with light, hope, and new beginnings!

I joined #NoKingsDay rallies today in Rancho Cucamonga, Sierra Madre, Pasadena & Claremont to reject Trump's corruption & fight for democracy. youtube.com/shorts/xIz16...

The “No Kings” rallies across the United States send a powerful message: that we, the people, stand united in defense of democracy, equality, and civil rights. No one, not even a president, is above the law. Our commitment to freedom and justice is unwavering.

Ismael Ayala-Uribe's death while in ICE custody was a preventable tragedy. His pleas for help were ignored by those responsible for his care until it was too late. I’m demanding answers and accountability from ICE, joined by 31 of my colleagues.

All while Trump and Republicans are making health care unaffordable for millions. By refusing to extend ACA tax credits, they’re forcing families to pay thousands more as premiums, copays, and deductibles double or triple.

I am extremely disappointed and disheartened by the hundreds of JPL layoffs announced today, and my thoughts are with all the impacted workers and their families. Read my full statement at chu.house.gov/media-center...

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay!   Our nation's history is incomplete without recognizing the cultural and societal influence of our Indigenous communities. From art to governance, they have shaped the identity of our country.    Today, let’s celebrate their enduring impact and resilience.

Trump is abusing his authority over the DOJ to target those he sees as political enemies. And Republicans, who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, are doing nothing to stop him. We cannot & will not stay silent in the face of Trump's authoritarianism & blatant attack on the rule of law.

My nephew, Marine Lance Corporal Harry Lew, died by suicide after being brutally hazed while serving in Afghanistan. Secretary Hegseth’s rollback of military hazing protections is weak, shameful, and will cost more lives.

Speaker Johnson won’t swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva all because he wants to block the Epstein files and keep the government closed. He’s already sworn in 2 Republicans this year when the House was not in session. Her constituents deserve representation. Swear her in now.

Here's an idea: he could start by keeping 24 million Americans from seeing their premiums double this month.

Fact: Undocumented immigrants can’t buy ACA coverage. Republicans know this. They're lying to distract from the fact that they voted to kick 15 million Americans off health coverage, including their own constituents.

“Working around the clock”? Republicans are on week 3 of vacation while 24 million Americans face skyrocketing premiums. In July they kicked 15 million Americans off coverage to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! To everyone celebrating, may this season of gratitude bring you peace, happiness, time shared with loved ones, and of course plenty of delicious mooncakes. 🥮🎑

Trump and Republicans are lying to cover up for their failure to govern. Here's the truth behind their lies.

Republicans care more about hiding the Epstein files than helping the American people. Day 3 of their shutdown: Speaker Johnson just cancelled next week’s votes instead of working to end this shutdown. Meanwhile, Democrats are ready to end the crisis, cut costs & protect healthcare.

When Republicans wanted tax cuts for billionaires, they kicked 15 million Americans off health care to do it. Now, as premiums for 24 million Americans are set to skyrocket by 114%, they shut down the government. That’s the Republican health plan in action.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all observing in CA-28 and beyond. G’mar Chatima Tovah

Trump & Republicans run the government. For 8 months they’ve used that power to slash health care and give tax cuts to billionaires. If they wanted to open the government and cut your health costs, they could do it. But working families were never their priority. pasadenanow.com/main/local-c...

When billionaire tax cuts were set to expire in December, Republicans rushed to extend them by July 4. But with ACA credits expiring & health care costs about to spike for 25 million Americans, the Trump White House actually said "go f*** yourself," and shut down the government.

You may have questions about how the government shutdown will impact you and your family. For clear and up-to-date information please visit my website at chu.house.gov/shutdown

Republicans have chosen to shut the government down so they can raise health care costs for over 20 million Americans. Democrats remain ready to support government funding that protects families. It’s a shameful day, and the American people deserve far better.

No amount of fear-mongering can deflect from the truth: Republican policies will result in 15 million Americans losing their health care and millions more seeing their premiums skyrocket.

My constituent, Barbara Gomes Marques, was detained by federal agents at the end of her scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month. I am doing everything possible to prevent her deportation and I’m demanding that ICE follow the law. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Trump's disastrous tariffs are forcing them to layoff workers, raise prices, and close their doors.

My nephew, Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, died by suicide after he was hazed in Afghanistan. It is reprehensible for the Secretary of Defense to encourage this behavior. Our troops deserve a real leader, not someone whose decisions are motivated by contempt for the very servicemembers his job is to support.

If the government shuts down tonight, it’s because Republicans chose higher premiums for 20 million Americans over working with Democrats.

I strongly condemn the horrific threats made against @jayapal.house.gov. Political violence has no place in our country, and we must all stand united in rejecting it.

This #WorldContraceptionDay, the Trump admin is planning to destroy $10M in taxpayer-funded contraceptives. I recently co-led a letter demanding an investigation. As Chair of @reprocaucus.bsky.social Contraception Task Force, I'll always fight for access to birth control at home & abroad.

Today I joined patients and providers at the Wesley Health Center in Pasadena to hear how Trump's health care cuts are hurting them. In CA-28, 61k people face crushing premium hikes if Trump & Republicans shut down the government instead of protecting Americans' ACA tax credits.

He stripped health care from 15 million people. He’s threatening a shutdown so he can end the ACA tax credits that lower costs for millions more. Now he’s slamming Americans with higher costs on medicine, furniture, and trucks. Every part of his agenda means middle-class Americans pay more.

Trump is rigging congressional maps. That’s why I joined my California colleagues to introduce the Redistricting Reform Act of 2025 — to guarantee nonpartisan, independent redistricting nationwide. Because in the U.S., voters choose their representatives, not the other way around.

#HappyPublicLandsDay! Today, I celebrate the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, where millions of Angelenos can hike, explore, and connect with nature close to home. I’ll keep fighting to protect our public lands so everyone can enjoy their beauty for generations to come!

I voted to condemn the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk and call on all Americans to reject political violence. My vote is not an endorsement of Kirk’s views, but a firm rejection of the rising political violence in our country that we must all reject, regardless of ideology.
