The fight to lower healthcare costs for Americans continues, with the same level of commitment and fight that Americans deserve. The Senate bill fails to meet the moment to bring costs down to ensure affordable health care for all Americans.

The Trump admin is now threatening states: either don’t give 42 million Americans all of the money they need to put food on the table — or face the consequences. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, a time to recognize the more than 63 million dedicated caregivers who work hard every day to care for their loved ones, often putting others’ needs before their own and often unpaid.

🚨 Our office is now accepting applications for Winter/Spring 2026 Interns. Apply by December 5th!

Trump Admin goes to Supreme Court for sign off to make Americans go hungry, while: Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago to golf and party. House Republicans are on week 6 of their vacation. Senate Republicans refuse to address health care crisis.

Spoke with a constituent from #LongBeach today — she told me that her health care premiums will rise from $383 to $999 per month. Hardworking Americans should not have to shell out nearly a thousand dollars a month out of pocket to pay for health care.

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.

California Head Start programs are closing because of Republicans’ shutdown.

Why is Trump fighting tooth and nail to take food off the tables of hardworking Americans!!!

I will KEEP TALKING about the Republican shutdown while House Republicans remain on vacation while Americans suffer.

Millions of Americans — including many Californians — will be forced to pay THOUSANDS more in health care premiums next year.

Nancy Pelosi broke the glass ceiling as the first woman to become Speaker of the House — then went on to become the best Speaker we’ve ever seen. In her time in Congress, Rep. Pelosi has been a voice for Californians and Americans everywhere.

Sorry Mike Johnson, so are you saying that you can’t do anything about grocery prices like you promised OR that your policies have led to inflation and higher prices? Both seem bad for you.

Donald Trump had to be forced kicking and screaming just to pay working Americans a portion of SNAP so that they don’t go hungry.

NOW LIVE: Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs, but instead, they are on the rise, and Americans are paying the price. @HouseDemocrats are holding a hearing today to hear from working Americans. View here: www.youtube.com/live/Yn07n6P...

Working Americans like Lydia from #LongBeach can’t afford the Republican health care crisis.

SNAP benefits still are not being fully funded in November because of the Trump/Republican shutdown. If you receive SNAP benefits and need additional assistance, there are local resources in CA-44 and across LA that are offering relief. Call my office for more information: 310-831-1799

As the Supreme Court debated the legality of Trump’s reckless tariffs today, there is no debate they have increased costs for Americans. Grocery prices are up for coffee, beef, fresh produce, and more. It’s harder for families to put food on the table now than it was before the tariffs.

Donald Trump & House Republicans are OK with working Americans going hungry. We’re on Day 36 of the Trump/Republican shutdown, and House Republicans are STILL on an extended vacation — while Americans on SNAP wait to hear when they’ll receive their Nov. benefits and how much less they’ll get.

Organizations like the YMCA in #Wilmington work hard to keep our #CA44 families from going hungry. It’s day 35 of the shutdown. SNAP ran out of funding on November 1st. As long as the government remains closed, Americans who need SNAP dollars to survive will not receive their full benefits.

Our neighbors will have an increasingly harder time accessing health care services because of the Republican health care crisis.

Trump admin refuses to fully fund SNAP. Trump is upset that 2 courts had to step in to force some money to go out the door — because he really wants Americans who rely on SNAP to go hungry.

🚨Attention #CA44: Get out and vote on PROP 50! Today is your last chance! 🚨 Prop 50 would temporarily change Congressional district maps in CA through 2030 — in response to attempts by conservatives to rig congressional maps in states like TX, FL, & MO.

Speaker Johnson's weak excuses to not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva don't even fly with one of Alabama's former Republican Congress Members, Congressman Mo Brooks.

Organizations like The Salvation Army Southern California and the Stillman Sawyer Family Services Center are essential for families in need of food in the Harbor Area.

Millions of Californians — including seniors, children, and veterans — were cut off from SNAP/CalFresh as the Republican shutdown drags on.

Vote centers are open today and tomorrow in L.A. County for the special election on Proposition 50. Vote centers are open today until 7 p.m. and open tomorrow until 8 p.m. Proposition 50 is a ballot measure that would require temporary use of new Congressional district maps through 2030.

Trump refuses to use available emergency funds for SNAP — and now thousands of people are lining up at food banks throughout LA County.

Vote centers are open tonight until 7 p.m. through Election Day, November 4th, in L.A. County for the special election on Proposition 50. Proposition 50 is a ballot measure that would temporarily new Congressional district maps through 2030.

⏰ Daylight Saving Time ended today! Hope everyone enjoyed that extra hour of sleep and don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour.

🚨OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR 2026 HEALTH INSURANCE STARTS TODAY🚨 Please be aware that your insurance costs may be higher because of a health care crisis brought to you by Congressional Republicans.

From #HarborGateway to #Lynwood, the #CA44 community celebrates #DíadelosMuertos though ofrendas full of love, color, and remembrance for our loved ones who’ve passed.

A federal court has ordered Trump to use the emergency funds for SNAP. He refuses. The Trump/Republican shutdown puts over 30 THOUSAND #CA44 households and over 22 MILLION households across America at risk of skipping meals or going hungry.

October is #SpinaBifidaAwarenessMonth, a time to recognize the hundreds of thousands of people living with Spina Bifida.

🚨CalFresh recipients 🚨— starting tomorrow, November 1st, your November benefits may be affected by the Republican shutdown.  To learn more, visit: Barragan.house.gov/snapshutdown

For the first time in history, Trump and Republicans refuse to use the emergency funds for SNAP — which means families like those at the Toberman Neighborhood Center may go hungry.

This #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth, we recognize and honor the many contributions of our Filipino American communities across the country — especially the long-established and prominent community here in #CA44.

This Halloween, Republicans are checking items off of their shutdown to-do list, straight out of a horror movie— and Americans will pay the price: • Raise health care costs •Take food from Americans in-need •Don’t pay federal workers •Delay/stop services for Vets, Seniors, and vulnerable Americans

Californians could see their annual premiums increase by thousands next year: •Seniors may have to pay over $20,000 more. •Families may have to pay almost $11,000 more. •A 45-year-old may have to pay over $2,000 more.

As SNAP benefits run out this week, I reintroduced the Feed the Community Act to secure resources for food banks and community centers whose mission is to fight hunger.

Local supermarkets here in #CA44 accept SNAP, which helps working Americans to feed their families — but Republicans’ shutdown will put 41 MILLION at risk of skipping meals or going hungry because Trump refuses to use the leftover funds to fund SNAP.

Republicans created a health care crisis — and they won’t return to work to fix it. Open enrollment starts in just a few days, and premiums are about to skyrocket. For some Californians, they could double or even triple in cost.

Americans deserve to be able to access care when they need it, no matter their income. Clinics like Via Care Community Health Center in #SouthGate provide preventative care, urgent care, and other services for low-income communities.

Our office is OPEN. It has been 29 days since Republicans shut down the government, but our office has been hard at work to support you.

Our constituent George, who lives in #Paramount, gets care through Covered California for his health conditions that forced him to retire early. Saul’s Covered California coverage helps take care of him, his wife, and their 10-year-old daughter in #SouthGate.

No American should have to worry about whether they can afford their next meal. Today, I held a press conference with the Toberman Neighborhood Center and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank on how SNAP benefits will run out of funds this week.

Republicans have now attacked health care and SNAP funding TWICE this year! SNAP funding is about to run out because of the Trump/Republican shutdown — the program provides vital food assistance to feed over 41 MILLION Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/federal...
