I just voted to cancel Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. This is a major victory for the American people and for Congress reclaiming our constitutional authority over tariffs. And, it's a defeat for Trump and Speaker Johnson, who for months blocked the House from taking this vote.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

In 2024, about 1.5 million jobs were created. In 2025, it plummeted to just 181,000. The numbers don't lie. Trump’s policies and tariffs are not working: they are raising prices for working-class families and weakening our job market.

Today, I welcomed Buddhist Monks from the Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center as they completed their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace, from Fort Worth, TX to the Peace Monument at the U.S. Capitol in D.C.

Trump tried to throw Members of Congress in jail for reminding servicemembers they don't have to follow illegal orders. He is weaponizing the DOJ to silence dissent & not one Republican has stepped up to stop him. Thankfully, a grand jury rejected it. We will not be intimidated.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

A temporary closure has been issued for trails within the Mt. Baldy (Mt. San Antonio) area of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. www.fs.usda.gov/r05/angeles/...

Yesterday, Senator Adam Schiff, Congressman Brian Mast and I introduced the bipartisan PETSAFE Act to allow state and local governments to use FEMA grants to protect animals during disasters.

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves. California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

I’m so inspired by these young people right here in Claremont and across the country who are coming together to stand up against Trump's authoritarianism. Together, we will continue to stand up for our rights, dignity, and safety. claremont-courier.com/schools/the-...

I’m proud to represent @caltech.edu, where researchers are connecting ideas from physics and economics to better understand complex systems. Excited to see this latest breakthrough and grateful for the innovation happening in our district every day. pasadenanow.com/main/economi...

I am very excited to cheer on the United States during this year’s Winter Olympic Games! A special shoutout to two-time Olympian Maddie Mastro, from Wrightwood right here in #CA28! You make us proud.    GO TEAM USA! 🏅🎉

It is sickening that the President of the United States posted this racist, vile video. Every Republican must stand up and condemn this hate. @houserepublicans.bsky.social, speak up.

Today, I led a letter with @beyer.house.gov and @repilhan.bsky.social - signed by 58 House Democrats - demanding answers & accountability on Trump's expanded, racist travel ban.

I am thrilled that GAO accepted my request to study the public health, equity, and economic impacts of RFK Jr.’s reckless decision to eliminate the universal hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation, in response to a letter I led with @repkimschrier.bsky.social & 108 House Democrats.

Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power. Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

Instead of targeting criminals, Trump detained a 5 yr old & sent him 1,000s of miles away. I'm relieved that Liam is finally home, and I'm grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social & @repilhan.bsky.social for helping secure his return. Democrats will keep fighting to end this anti-immigrant regime.

From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better. Happy Black History Month.

It's been one month since Trump and Republicans ended Affordable Care Act tax credits for millions of Americans, forcing families like these to face an impossible choice: pay more for worse health coverage, or risk going uninsured.

Imagine working 60 hours a week and being denied a minimum wage, let alone overtime pay. That's what the Trump admin wants to do to home care workers in this country, whose backbreaking labor keeps our seniors safe and cared for. It's wrong, and Democrats will fight back. www.npr.org/2026/01/29/n...

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights. A free press is fundamental to democracy. This is unacceptable & we will continue to fight back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Our understanding of the Universe is stronger because of Bill Nye’s remarkable leadership and advocacy. Thank you, Bill, for your 15 years leading the Planetary Society, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to advance science and space exploration!🚀✨ pasadenanow.com/main/bill-ny...

Renee Good & Alex Pretti were killed by their own government for exercising their 1st Amendment rights. Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, & this entire admin are to blame. They'll keep lying to cover up these killings, but we know the truth. We won't let this stand.

Americans who lost everything to wildfires & extreme weather have waited more than a year for federal disaster aid. Instead of helping them, Trump issued an EO that does NOTHING to speed up recovery or make rebuilding more affordable. Enough distractions. Pass disaster aid now.

Last night, my colleague @repilhan.bsky.social was attacked for doing her job as she spoke with her constituents. I’m relieved to hear that she is okay. Political violence has NO place in our country.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jews and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms. We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

ICE agents executed Alex Pretti while he was defenseless. The American people saw it with their own eyes. It’s on video. Kristi Noem is blatantly lying to cover up this murder while disgustingly smearing the victim. Impeach Noem. Reject ICE funding until this brutality ends.

About 1 year ago, @repgwenmoore.bsky.social and I demanded answers on DOGE’s unfettered access to Americans’ personal data. Republicans instead shielded Musk from having to answer questions before Congress.

Another person in Minnesota shot dead by Trump’s ICE agents. What more do Republicans in Congress need to see to finally put a stop to this? Senators must vote against sending even more money, with no guardrails, to this out of control agency next week.

Another person in Minnesota shot dead by Trump’s ICE agents. The President is using militarized, untrained, unaccountable forces to terrorize Americans. What more do Republicans in Congress need to see to finally put a stop to this?

Trump is weaponizing foreign aid to impose his anti-abortion, anti-equality agenda on the world. The Global Gag Rule blocks foreign orgs that receive U.S. funds from providing or referring abortion care in their countries—even when it’s legal & paid for with non-U.S. funds.

Language access is a civil right. Trump's rollback of vital translation services across federal agencies is a blatant attack on immigrant communities. More than 25 million people will be stripped of translation resources for Medicare, home loans, FEMA aid, & other lifelines.

Congratulations to the 2025 #CongressionalAppChallenge winners from CA-28! I’m astonished by the talent behind each submission, showing the importance of STEM education for our youth. Thank you to every young coder who participated this year! chu.house.gov/media-center...

Earlier this week at @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, we heard from Rena Bumbray-Graves, a home care worker. Because Republicans refuse to extend the ACA premium tax credits, Rena's premiums skyrocketed by 139% and she was forced to drop her health care coverage.

Today’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing made one thing crystal clear: Republicans aren’t interested in strengthening health care or protecting patients. They refused to extend the ACA tax credits causing millions to forgo health care this year, and families across California are suffering.

Our neighbors are living in fear because of the violent and lawless actions of the Trump administration. But Republicans put forth a bill to increase funding for the Department of Homeland Security without any oversight or accountability measures for ICE and DHS.

Today marks 53 years since #RoevWade, and the 4th year without its protections. Millions of women are being forced to travel hundreds of miles for abortion care. Too many have needlessly suffered or died because of extreme Republican abortion bans that criminalize care & sacrifice women’s lives.

ICE detained a father and his 5-year-old son Liam after they got home from pre-school pick up. ICE then used Liam as bait to try to kidnap more people. Now, Liam & his father are detained thousands of miles away from their home. No one is safe in Trump's America. It’s sickening.

Three years ago, our Monterey Park community was forever changed. Today, we honor the lives we lost and hold their memories close. youtu.be/GD3CSa7-Rn0?...

Three years ago, my hometown of Monterey Park endured the deadliest mass shooting in Los Angeles County history. But in the face of unfathomable tragedy, I have witnessed extraordinary strength and unity in our journey toward healing.

While millions of Americans are losing health care, Republicans are trying to funnel federal dollars to fake clinics that exist to shame, mislead, and prevent women from accessing abortion care. youtu.be/Xz1wvJiAcvQ?...

Today marks three years since the tragic mass shooting at the Star Dance Studio in my hometown of Monterey Park - the deadliest mass shooting in L.A. County's history.

Trump spent the weekend threatening our treaty allies with a military invasion to seize Greenland because he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. This talk of invading Greenland is absurd and embarrassing. Congress needs to put a stop to this now.

1 year since Trump was sworn in & America is more expensive than ever. From groceries & rent to utilities and health care, costs are up. Trump promised that his administration would “end inflation” and bring down costs for families on day 1. Enough with the lies.

As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King Jr., let us reiterate our commitment to equal rights that he and countless others in the Civil Rights Movement championed. As our rights and very democracy are threatened, we must stand together to continue this fight for freedom for all.

State bans on home ownership based on citizenship fuels unwarranted suspicion & racial profiling of our Asian & Asian American neighbors.

The constitution grants Americans & immigrants dignity, due process, & protection under the law. But under Sec. Noem’s leadership, ICE has descended into a lawlessness. She must be held accountable.
