Striking shipwrecked survivors clinging to wreckage in open water violates both the laws of war and federal criminal law. Formally demanding a Department of Justice investigation into the strikes and Hegseth’s apparent violation of the law with @raskin.house.gov. www.notus.org/congress/dem...

House Judiciary Republicans must call AG Bondi for a hearing when Congress is back in session. The Department of Justice will be held accountable.

Last week, House Republicans left town without extending healthcare subsidies. They once again chose their own vacation over you. Democrats will keep fighting for healthcare and lower costs.

Donald Trump should visit every congressional district. He can talk about how he’s focused on renaming the Kennedy Center after himself, instead of stopping huge increases in healthcare costs, which he could easily do by extending ACA tax credits.

Unemployment is at a 4-year high, costs are rising, and Republicans failed to stop healthcare prices from skyrocketing. Democrats now have enough bipartisan support to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits for 3 years. Republican leadership must bring this bill to the floor NOW.

The heinous attack in Australia was completely devastating. Praying for the Jewish community both in the U.S. and around the world. No one should ever be targeted because of their religious beliefs. We need to do more to stamp out antisemitism.

The FBI Director needs to stop putting out false information before verifying the facts. It could ruin lives and put the public at risk.

The last-minute Republican healthcare "plan" does NOT extend ACA tax credits or reduce costs at all. There's just 4 days left to extend these subsidies.

Statement on Shooting at Brown University

Wishing all those celebrating a happy Hanukkah! May these next eight nights bring peace, light, and comfort to you and your loved ones.

Donald Trump worked really hard on redistricting in Indiana. He got his ass kicked.

A grand jury can indict a ham sandwich. Trump's Department of Justice failed to indict Letitia James twice. The President is focused on retribution, not the needs of the American people.

Statement on Trump’s Executive Order Restricting State Regulation of AI

There is no justification for striking shipwrecked survivors in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. The Department of Defense knows what they did is wrong.

Grocery costs continue to increase. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. What is Trump focused on right now? Starting another forever war in Venezuela. We need congressional oversight.

Strongly support President Trump going on the road to every House district to talk about tariffs helping farmers, racial profiling by ICE, and Medicaid cuts that own the libs. Many people say that Congressman Valadao would love this.

House Democratic Vice Chair Ted Lieu reads Trump’s unhinged social media post.

Would you give the economy an “A+++++?” (Grocery prices increasing, utilities surging, healthcare costs skyrocketing...)

Honored to be named a co-chair for the new House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy. House Democrats reject the Trump Administration's misguided approach to AI. Looking forward to working to strengthen innovation and protect the public.

We have an affordability crisis, and the President thinks it’s a “con job by the Democrats.”

🌟VICE CHAIR SPOTLIGHT — @reptedlieu.bsky.social🌟 Congressman Ted Lieu has spent his career working to defend the rights & dignity of the LGBTQI+ community. We are so thankful to have him serve as one of our Vice Chairs in the Equality Caucus. Let us introduce you to his work!

Democrats are focused on demanding the extension of ACA tax credits AND calling out unlawful actions. We can do both things at once.

You don’t just shoot up the enemy if they’re defenseless and not capable of doing anything. We need a full investigation for war crimes.

Release the boat strike video.

Grocery, electricity, and healthcare costs are all increasing. What is the Trump Administration focused on? Boat strikes in Venezuela that may not even be heading for the U.S. and are not clearly legal. Their priorities are all completely messed up.

Hegseth lied after leaking classified information on Signal. He also lied after the second boat strike. He is unfit to serve. Hegseth must resign.

The President needs authorization from Congress to engage in these warlike actions. This is either a violation of the law of war or it’s murder. Trump is not prioritizing what Americans want.

Survivors clinging to debris. No radios. No means of locomotion. The Administration knows they did something wrong. This issue isn’t going away.

Let’s be very, very clear: Striking shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. Straight up. We need the Department of Justice to open an investigation. If they don’t, a future Administration will.

Hegseth must resign.

If Trump and Republicans want to do nothing to protect kids, then states are going to do it. We need federal standards to regulate AI.

Video evidence appears to have now confirmed a war crime was committed. The Department of Justice must open an investigation and Secretary Hegseth must resign.

We have an affordability crisis. Plus, millions of Americans are either going to lose health insurance or pay a lot more for their premiums. What are Republicans doing? They want make their Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger.

Survivors of human trafficking deserve justice and compassion, not criminalization. Pleased that the House passed our bipartisan legislation to provide much-needed relief to trafficking survivors.

It’s really funny that Republicans are trying to make this argument.

A message for the members of the U.S. military: thank you for your service. Those of us who served know that part of the code of conduct is to not lie and accept responsibility. Unfortunately, Secretary Hegseth engaged in dishonorable conduct. Shame on Hegseth. He must resign.

Killing shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. There must be an investigation and accountability, including for Secretary Hegseth who lied.

Promises made, promises NOT kept. That should be the Republican slogan when it comes to prices. They’ve done everything to help billionaires, nothing for you.

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving full of friends, family, and food! Thankful for the opportunity to represent our amazing LA County communities in Congress.

AI has made it easier for scammers to take advantage of people. We need to implement sensible guardrails on the ways AI can be used to cause harm. That’s why we introduced the bipartisan AI Fraud Deterrence Act to combat fraud committed with AI.

On top of using violent rhetoric that has led to increased death threats, the Trump Administration is now trying to use the FBI to try to intimidate and harass members of Congress. We must stand with these brave members – they will not be intimidated.

Pleased to introduce the AI Fraud Deterrence Act today with Rep. Dunn which would expand penalties for AI scams and deepfakes, including impersonations of federal officials. Our bipartisan goal is simple: Deter people from using AI to commit fraud.

“Americans feel like prices are rising in each and every single part of their lives.” Republicans are more focused on billionaire parties than you.

Republican members of Congress are resigning and complaining about GOP leadership to the press. Maybe they’d have an easier time if they stopped focusing on their Epstein ballroom and billionaire buddies, and instead, started working with Democrats to lower costs.

Costs are up bigly, and this is what Trump has been focused on. Malicious clowns.

President Trump’s Department of Justice is run by hacks, sycophants, and malicious clowns.   The Department should focus on protecting the public, not shielding predators, and catering to the whims of a lawless President.

The Trump Administration’s cuts to the Office of Space Commerce could jeopardize space traffic coordination, critical defense missions, and commercial space operations. Leading bipartisan demands with Rep. Don Bacon to OMB Director Russ Vought to enact full funding for the OSC.

Constituent casework has become an incredibly important tool during the Trump Administration’s extreme ICE raids & detentions. Working w/ @sarajacobs.house.gov & @repespaillat.bsky.social to create a clear & enforceable way for detainees to access their congressional offices’ services.

Southern California has been experiencing severe rainstorms, which is stress testing our region’s critical infrastructure. Pleased to announce I fought for and secured federal funding for Rolling Hills Estates to repair and upgrade stormwater resilience projects.
