Today in @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, Republicans advanced their America Last Agenda with a budget that does absolutely nothing to help working families.

Instead of doing anything to lower the high cost of health care, Republicans are attempting to pass a budget that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars on Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

Trump's attempt to freeze $10 billion for child care and social services funding was an obviously illegal and baseless attempt to punish blue states he disagrees with, and I am relieved to see it finally rescinded.

‼️Final Reminder‼️ Today is the last day to submit your best picture of the San Gabriel Valley for my #BestOfCA28 Photo Competition! To participate, upload your submission to tinyurl.com/BestofCA28

No one should have to ration medicine or walk away from the pharmacy counter because of cost. But more than 1 in 4 Pennsylvanians have. That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the Drug Deal Disclosure Act with @chu.house.gov to force transparency around Trump’s secret drug pricing deals.

NEWS: I’m leading a statement with 25 colleagues who are voting YES on Congressman Massie's amendment. For decades, U.S. taxpayers have funded Israeli military operations that have killed civilians & caused humanitarian catastrophes. Enough already.

Trump keeps claiming his secret deals with Big Pharma will lower prescription drug prices. When Democrats had control, we actually delivered lower prices by empowering Medicare to negotiate drug prices, capping insulin at $35 a month for seniors, and limiting out-of-pocket drug costs.

I was thrilled to speak with the National Association of School Psychologists this morning as they kicked off their Hill Day!

4 million people. 1.5 million children. 300,000 Californians. Those are the Americans who have lost food assistance one year after Trump's Big Ugly Bill. No child should go hungry so Republicans can fund tax breaks for billionaires.

In the past week, we have seen two deaths occur at the hands of ICE. It's so important you know your rights if you encounter ICE, regardless of your immigration status. Please keep yourself and your communities safe. To learn more about your rights, visit: www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

ICE killed another person yesterday, not even a full week since they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This is the 11th fatal shooting by ICE since Trump took office. Joan Sebastian Guerrero was only 26-years-old. His three-year-old daughter was in the back seat of the car when her father was shot.

As we close out on our country's 250th birthday celebrations, I also want to celebrate a notable Woman in History, Pasadena's own Octavia Butler.

95% of Americans say our country is facing an affordability crisis—and they're right. Yet instead of lowering costs, Trump has resumed his illegal war in Iran—driving energy prices higher and making everyday life even more expensive for working families.

158 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing citizenship to every person born or naturalized in the United States and ensuring all citizens equal protection under the law.

One more week left to submit your best picture of the San Gabriel Valley for my #BestOfCA28 Photo Competition! To participate, upload your submission to tinyurl.com/BestofCA28 by July 15.

Trump's ICE has already taken lives and twisted the truth to evade responsibility and push their anti-immigrant agenda. We need an independent investigation into Lorenzo’s death. His family deserves answers. We deserve transparency and accountability.

Last month, Congress voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran with bipartisan votes in the House and Senate. Yet Trump launched a new wave of strikes yesterday.

Today, I joined @normajtorres.bsky.social, @repbradsherman.bsky.social, @lofgren.house.gov and the CA Delegation in sending a letter to congressional leadership, urging them to hold on a supplemental funding package until California communities receive long overdue federal disaster assistance.

I was thrilled to present Shrey Parikh, from Rancho Cucamonga, a Certificate of Congressional Recognition for his incredible win at the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee! At only 14 years old, he secured the title after correctly spelling 32 words in a spell-off. Amazing! Congratulations Shrey!

We sent a letter to HHS, led by @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social & @chu.house.gov, demanding answers on why funding for the bipartisan Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program was illegally revoked. Read more from @thehill.com: thehill.com/policy/healt...

Recently, the Trump Administration cancelled 80% of active Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP) grants, which help women and girls across the country with evidence-based programs that reduce teen pregnancy, STIs, and other health risks.

This past weekend, I was honored to celebrate July 4th all across the SGV, at parades and celebrations in San Gabriel, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, Claremont, and San Marino. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Independence Day!

Wishing everyone in the San Gabriel Valley a safe and happy Independence Day! Today, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, let us recommit to strengthening our democracy and advancing the promise of liberty, equality, and opportunity for all.

As we prepare to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday, the price of many Fourth of July BBQ staples are now 20% more expensive than last year. Because of Trump's affordability crisis, for millions of Americans, honoring our nation's birthday is becoming a financial burden.

As of July 1st, the U.S. Department of Education is rolling out changes to federal student loans that will make college and loan repayment even more unaffordable.

#OTD in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed the #CivilRightsAct into law. The CRA is an incredible shield against discrimination, including for the LGBTQI+ community. As we celebrate 62yrs since its signing, we recommit ourselves to the fight against bigotry & discrimination.

I'm excited to announce the return of my #BestOfCA28 Photo Competition! Show us what you love most about the San Gabriel Valley, and the winning photo will be displayed in my Washington, D.C. office. To participate, upload your submission to tinyurl.com/BestofCA28 by July 15.

While millions are losing their health care and struggling to afford a tank of gas, Republicans are prioritizing a hearing on the tax treatment of multibillionaire sports team owners. @chu.house.gov:

Today, Republicans are celebrating one year since Trump’s Big Ugly Bill gutted $1 TRILLION from our health care system, ripping coverage away from 15 million Americans. In our district alone, over 39,000 people will lose their coverage and another 66,000 will see their health care costs go up.

For 60 years, Medicare has been a lifeline for seniors and people with disabilities. Democrats strengthened that promise by finally empowering Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and take on Big Pharma.

I joined @latimes.com’s Rebuilding LA Podcast to discuss FEMA's recent approval of California’s request to extend the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) for survivors of the LA Fires.

Happy National Postal Workers Day! Today, we celebrate the more than 500,000 dedicated postal workers who work tirelessly to deliver the mail that keeps millions of Americans connected every day. From essential packages to vote by mail ballots, we thank you for your service.

Trump's recent financial disclosure reveals that he profited at least $1.4 BILLION from his family crypto scheme alone. From accepting payments from foreign governments to collecting payouts from baseless lawsuits, he is using his presidency for self-enrichment.

Today, I joined my Democratic colleagues to celebrate another major victory for Americans. SCOTUS reaffirmed that if you are born in the United States, you are an American. Despite Trump’s pathetic efforts to overturn this fundamental constitutional principle, birthright citizenship stands strong.

Americans are in a housing crisis, and Trump thinks “it’s so unimportant.” Congress passed one of the most significant bipartisan housing reform packages and Trump is still refusing to sign it into law unless he can launch a federal takeover to rig elections to benefit himself.

Joint Statement from Tri-Caucus Chairs on Supreme Court Upholding Birthright Citizenship:

‼️FINAL REMINDER‼️ If you were approved for an U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loan, TODAY is the deadline to accept & access your approved funds. For more information, visit: www.sba.gov/funding-prog...

We know this Pride felt different for many in the LGBTQI+ community. As we round out Pride Month, our Chair, with several of our Co-Chairs & Vice Chairs, wanted to send a message to LGBTQI+ Americans: We'll always have your back, during Pride Month—and year-round. youtube.com/shorts/TSXHa...

Happy Immigrant Heritage Month! This month, and every month, we celebrate the generations of immigrants – including the more than 270,000 immigrants who call CA-28 home – who power our economy, create jobs, open small businesses, enrich our culture, and make America stronger every day.

This is great news for American democracy. Trump and Republicans attempted to interfere in our elections. They failed.

Last week, I met with several of my constituents impacted by the Eaton Fire. They lost their homes, their businesses, and, for some, even their loved ones. They are doing everything they can to rebuild. Now the federal government must do its part.

Yesterday, I joined @repbradsherman.bsky.social, @congressmin.bsky.social, and KAPAC to call for lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.

#EqualityDay celebrates the anniversaries of landmark LGBTQI+ victories at SCOTUS in Lawrence, Windsor, & Obergefell! While these milestone are worth celebrating, we still have work to do to ensure our community's rights never rely on a court's ruling ever again.

This week, I led 25 of my Democratic colleagues in sending a letter to HomeDepot and Lowe’s requesting information regarding the growing number of ICE operations occurring at or near their stores nationwide.

"We must reform the outdated, extremist Supreme Court." @chu.house.gov

I joined @repbradsherman.bsky.social, @friedman.house.gov, @repjimcosta.bsky.social, and ANCA to demand justice 1,000 days since Armenian prisoners of war and civilian hostages were unlawfully detained by Azerbaijan.

This week, @schiff.senate.gov, and I led our Democratic colleagues in reintroducing the American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act, to honor the legacy of the heroes who risked their own lives to save thousands of Jews and other refugees facing near-certain death.

Another disastrous decision by the far-right Supreme Court. Ending TPS for hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Haitian immigrants won't make America safer. It will destabilize families, hurt employers, and force people back to countries plagued by violence and humanitarian crises.

Today, FEMA approved our request to extend the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) to provide direct housing & financial assistance for survivors of the LA Fires, including the Eaton Fire that devastated my district.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, women have suffered the devastating consequences of extreme abortion bans. I haven't stopped fighting to restore reproductive freedom—and I never will.
