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.

The Department of Justice released some of the Epstein files today but deliberately withheld others, in direct defiance of the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act.

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.

Eighty-four years ago today, the attack on Pearl Harbor changed the course of history. Let us pause to remember the 2,403 lives lost and honor the servicemembers and civilians whose sacrifice in defense of our nation endures in our collective memory.

Eight years ago, the Thomas Fire left an indelible mark on #VenturaCounty. The loss was profound, but so was the way our community came together, checking on neighbors, offering support, and helping through an incredibly challenging time.

I am holding the two National Guard members, their loved ones, and their unit in my prayers after the horrific shooting in D.C. This act of violence is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who serve and the sacrifices they make each and every day.

Wishing everyone across Ventura County and the Conejo Valley a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Andrea is one of nearly 200 U.S. citizens unlawfully detained by ICE under the Trump administration.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but families know that’s not what’s happening. His chaos-driven agenda is making it harder for people to get by, and the impact shows up in places that matter like the grocery aisle.

The raids carried out by ICE and CBP across the country have unleashed fear, chaos, and trauma in communities that are simply trying to live their lives.

Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. The Trump administration’s ongoing attempts to dismantle the Department of Education aren’t just reckless — they’re illegal, and they’re a direct threat to our children, our workforce, and our future.

The Trump administration is once again putting corporate profits ahead of the health and safety of the American people — this time by reopening California’s coast to offshore oil and gas drilling.

Swastikas and nooses are symbols of hatred, antisemitism, racism, and violence. There is no gray area here, and these symbols have absolutely no place in our military.

Donald Trump has called for the prosecution and even the hanging of Members of Congress for standing up for our democracy and honoring the oath they swore to uphold in defense of our country.

For six years, the Ventura County Human Trafficking Task Force has worked tirelessly to keep our communities safe, investigating nearly 400 cases, arresting almost 100 suspects, and providing life-saving support to survivors when they need it most.

Congratulations to Senator Monique Limón on becoming the California State Senate’s 50th President pro Tempore! Your leadership is a powerful reminder of what public service can and should be.

Tonight, I stood alongside survivors of Jeffrey Epstein at a candlelight vigil held in their honor. These survivors deserve justice. They deserve to be heard. And they deserve the truth. For far too long, they have been forced to wait for answers that should never have been delayed.

For years, survivors have waited for answers, and the delay in releasing the Epstein files has been appalling and shameful. Keeping these records hidden has only prolonged the suffering of those who have bravely come forward seeking justice.

Donald Trump has once again shown that he is willing to cast aside American values and the interests of the American people in favor of personal gain and authoritarian praise.

Attention Ventura County and Los Angeles County residents! The National Weather Service is forecasting a series of storms that will bring heavy rainfall, along with dangerous flooding and debris flows, to parts of Southern California through Sunday.

Once again, Congressional Republicans have chosen politics over people and loyalty to Donald Trump over all else.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to protect access to quality, affordable care and lower costs for working people. Our commitment is to the American people, not President Trump, not billionaires, and not the corporate special interests writing the Republican agenda.

It’s Day 43 of the Republican shutdown and 54 days since Speaker Johnson last called the House into session.

After seven weeks of deliberate stalling, Speaker Mike Johnson has finally been forced to seat Representative Adelita Grijalva.

For months, Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressional Republicans have done everything possible to bury the truth and protect Donald Trump. Newly released Epstein emails show Trump “spent hours at my house” with a victim and that he “knew about the girls.”

America’s veterans have fought valiantly to preserve our freedom and uphold the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our nation continue to inspire us all.

It’s Day 41 of the Republican shutdown, and Donald Trump has made one thing painfully clear: he fights for his friends, not the American people.

The Senate’s deal fails the American people. It does nothing to make health care more affordable for families who are already struggling with high costs and nothing to protect the millions of Americans at risk of losing their coverage.

I was deeply moved to stand alongside our neighbors and friends in honoring the lives we lost at Borderline. The love, strength, and hope of this community remind us that even in our darkest moments, we find light in one another and strength in the bonds that carry us forward. #BorderlineStrong

It’s Day 38 of the Republican shutdown – and President Trump is just now familiarizing himself with the word “affordability.”

Seven years ago, our community experienced an unimaginable tragedy that forever changed us. The pain of that night remains deeply felt – a pain shared by far too many who have been touched by our nation’s gun violence epidemic.

It’s Day 37 of the Republican shutdown – and the health care crisis they created is only getting worse.

Grocery stores rely on SNAP revenue to stay afloat – and as this shutdown drags on, many are being forced to lay off workers, some of whom rely on SNAP themselves. Now, these workers are left without an income and without food assistance.

A defining leader of our era, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s historic leadership will forever stand as a testament to the strength, courage, and resilience that define the American spirit.

It’s Day 36 of the Republican shutdown — and the so-called party of “fiscal responsibility” is bleeding our economy dry.
