Every year, my office is proud to host #ValentinesforVets with students from across California’s 26th Congressional District.

Forever a loyalist to Donald Trump, Pam Bondi continued her shameful pattern of deceit and deflection while testifying before Congress about her complete failure of leadership – particularly regarding the release of the Epstein files.

The blatantly racist video Donald Trump posted today is yet another example of his complete moral bankruptcy and total lack of human decency.

Recently, Pope Leo reminded the world of a question from the Gospel of Matthew that cuts to the heart of this moment: How did you treat the foreigner? That question reaches beyond any one faith. It speaks to our shared humanity and our responsibility to act.

Today, every Democratic senator voted NO on adding $10 billion more to ICE’s budget. I voted NO on funding for ICE and will continue to oppose any additional funding for an agency that operates with brutality, lawlessness, and impunity.

Greg Bovino has been removed as CBP’s “Commander-at-Large,” but that is not enough. Kristi Noem should be next.

What is happening in Minneapolis is an affront to core American values and must be condemned. In recent weeks, two individuals have been fatally shot by federal agents during these operations, sparking grief, protest, and widespread calls for accountability nationwide.

Today’s news out of Minneapolis is another absolutely horrifying reminder of this administration’s lawlessness and lack of accountability. Once again, the excessive use of force by federal agents has resulted in the innocent loss of life on our streets.

As we reflect on 53 years since the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, and four years since it was overturned, we are reminded that the fight for reproductive freedom is neither abstract nor over.

Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Last week, he claimed “inflation is defeated.” Working families know that’s not true. In fact, a new report from Joint Economic Committee shows California families paid $2,355 more in Trump’s first year in office because of inflation.

House Republicans are advancing Donald Trump’s anti-choice agenda by censoring medically accurate information, stigmatizing abortion care, and inserting politics and extremist ideology into the most personal health care decisions a person can make.

The American people have been clear: they expect Congress to uphold the rule of law and prevent reckless, unauthorized military engagements.

In Ventura County and the Conejo Valley, and communities across the nation, ICE operations have been marked by alarming lawlessness, excessive use of force, and a disturbing disregard for human life.

Today, the House passed the Veterans Law Judge Experience Act, a bill I authored to prioritize hiring experienced Veterans Law Judges.

Dr. King warned us that progress would be resisted, that justice would be delayed, and that power would try to silence truth. His words are more poignant than ever.

“Somewhere I read… that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.” Today, these words are not symbolic. They are a call to action.

Kristi Noem oversees lawlessness with blatant disregard for the Constitution and the basic rights of the people she is sworn to protect.

Ill-conceived, Republican-sponsored bills like the RECOVER Act, the BEACON Act, the Health Desert Reform Act, and the Data-Driven Suicide Prevention Act would siphon funding that could be invested at VA and redirect it to private providers to do work VA is already doing, (1/3)

Fifteen years after the Tucson shooting, Gabby Giffords returned to Congress as House Democrats advanced a bipartisan resolution honoring the lives lost and standing with survivors.

The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has protected over 50 million acres of national forests, safeguarding wildlife habitat, clean water, and access to outdoor recreation like hiking, hunting, and fishing.

Serving our community and our country has been the honor of my lifetime. Every step of this journey has been shaped by the people I represent, by their resilience, their determination, and their belief that government can and should work for the common good.

"On that fateful day, hundreds of brave, courageous and dedicated Capitol Police and DC officers stood on these very steps and across the Capitol grounds to defend the Congress, the country and the Constitution.

Like so many Americans, I am horrified by today’s fatal shooting by ICE in Minneapolis.

I am saddened by the passing of Doug LaMalfa. Before serving together in Congress, Doug and I also served alongside one another in the California State Legislature.

On one of the darkest days in our democracy, Capitol Police and law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to defend the U.S. Capitol and Members of Congress.

Nicolás Maduro is an oppressive dictator who has inflicted profound suffering on the Venezuelan people. They deserve democracy, the protection of human rights, and the ability to determine their own future.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy New Year! As we reflect on 2025 and welcome 2026, may we stay grounded in hope for a better and brighter future.

Last week’s storm may have passed, but hazardous weather conditions continue throughout the region.

Wishing you and yours a joyous and merry Christmas! May your days be filled with peace, love, and cheer.

Esta Nochebuena, les deseo a ustedes y a sus seres queridos paz, amor y momentos llenos de alegría esta Navidad. ¡Felices Fiestas! Wishing you and your loved ones peace, love, and joy this holiday season.

⚠️ Attention Ventura County and Los Angeles County Residents! An atmospheric river event is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds starting tonight, with additional storm systems are expected from Christmas Day through Friday.

The Trump administration just implemented a rule to rip abortion care away from veterans. Our servicewomen risk everything to serve our country. Denying them essential reproductive health care is a betrayal of that service.

Today, the Trump administration rolled back the VA’s already limited abortion protections for women veterans — an egregious and dangerous decision that is part of its continued effort to undermine women’s health care and driven by politics, not patient care.

“Under Mike Johnson’s speakership, there are more Republican committee chairs named Mike than women chairs combined.”

On this final night of Hanukkah, I extend warm wishes to the Jewish community in #VenturaCounty, the Conejo Valley, and around the world.

House Democrats are demanding a vote on the bipartisan bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits and prevent more than 20 million Americans from facing massive health care premium increases in the new year.

Speaker Johnson, bring the bill to the floor now. The American people deserve a vote.

Republicans have created a full-blown health care crisis, kicking millions of Americans off their coverage at the same time families are struggling with higher grocery prices, rising utility bills, and everyday household costs.

Congratulations to Kevin Fei of Westlake High School, the winner of this year’s Congressional App Challenge! 🎉

As Jewish people around the world gather to observe Hanukkah, a time rooted in faith, resilience, and perseverance, my heart is with those mourning the horrific antisemitic attack in Sydney, Australia. No one should fear for their safety while practicing their faith.

My heart is with the families and loved ones of the students killed and injured in the horrific shooting at Brown University.

Secretary Noem’s aggressive and unconstitutional immigration enforcement agenda has harmed U.S. citizens, veterans, and military families across the country.

From inciting a violent insurrection in his first administration to eroding the very pillars of our democracy in his second, Donald Trump continues to desecrate the oath he swore to uphold and protect.

With only 20 days before they are set to expire, Senate Republicans blocked consideration of legislation to extend enhanced premium tax credits that help millions of hardworking Americans afford health care coverage.
