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.

42 M Americans — including 1.2M veterans — stopped receiving SNAP benefits. Trump has the ability to fully fund and issue all SNAP checks, which he was court-ordered to do. Trump chooses not to. Hunger shouldn’t be a political weapon. Veterans and families are not pawns.

Ahead of today’s deadline to vote on Prop. 50, I met with Michelle Ascencion, Ventura County’s Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters.

It’s Day 35 of the Republican shutdown – and Donald Trump is on track to surpass his own record for the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Across the country, the impact of the shutdown is hurting working families and children.

Our democracy only works when every eligible voter can participate. Today, on Election Day in California, democracy itself is on the ballot. It’s a reminder that when more people vote, our democracy grows stronger.

I know many families are struggling right now – but you are not alone.

For more than six weeks now, House Republicans have been on paid vacation while President Trump hosts extravagant parties and demolishes the East Wing to build a salacious ballroom for his wealthy friends and wealthier donors.

It’s Day 34 of the Republican shutdown – and while House Republicans enjoy their sixth week of paid vacation, 42 million Americans are struggling to find their next meal.

What a game! 💙 💙 💙 The Los Angeles Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions! With heart, talent, and teamwork, they’ve made history once again — and fans from Ventura County to Chavez Ravine are celebrating this unforgettable win! #DodgerBlue #WorldSeriesChamps #GoDodgers

It’s Day 31 of the Republican shutdown — and working families across America are feeling the pain. Many have already missed paychecks, and millions more are bracing to lose their SNAP benefits tomorrow.

As little ghouls and ghosts celebrate tonight’s festivities, I wish everyone across #VenturaCounty and the Conejo Valley a Happy Halloween full of fun and spooky delights! 🎃 Here are some trick-or-treating tips to help keep our kids safe and parents at ease! 👻

It’s Day 30 of the Republican shutdown – and we are just days away from seeing critical food assistance run out.

House Republicans are on their fifth week of paid vacation while federal workers go without pay and families wonder how they’ll afford their next doctor’s visit. This shutdown isn’t about policy or principle – it’s about politics at its worst. The American people deserve leaders who put them first.

It’s Day 29 of the Republican shutdown – and air traffic controllers who keep our skies safe have now missed their first full paycheck.

It’s Day 28 of the Republican shutdown, and Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be confused about who’s really in charge.

Karoline Levitt said the quiet part out loud: Donald Trump’s top priority isn’t reopening the government or lowering costs for working families – it’s building a ballroom for himself.

It’s Day 27 of the Republican shutdown – and 42 million children and families could go hungry this month, not because we can’t afford to help them, but because Donald Trump won’t.

Even as the Republican government shutdown continues, my office remains open and ready to serve the people of Ventura County and the Conejo Valley.

The Trump administration doesn’t care that its anti-immigrant agenda and crusade of cruelty are hurting American farmers, driving up grocery prices, and threatening our food supply.

It’s Day 24 of the Republican shutdown – and instead of demanding that Republicans reopen the government and protect Americans’ health care, Trump is demanding a personal payout from his own Justice Department.

It’s Day 23 of the Republican shutdown – and Trump’s administration is living large while federal workers go without pay.

Reminder! Join me tonight at 6:30 PM (PT) for a telephone town hall to discuss the ongoing Republican government shutdown, the national health care crisis they created, and what House Democrats are doing to end it. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your thoughts.

It’s Day 22 of the Republican shutdown – and while the President of the United States has done nothing to reopen the government, he’s bailing out his friend in Argentina.

@replamonica.bsky.social is in court today facing baseless charges for doing her job. Members of Congress not only have the right – they have the responsibility – to conduct oversight on behalf of the American people.

It’s Day 21 of the Republican shutdown – and Donald Trump is too busy feeding his ego to lead this country through crisis.

Happy #Diwali to everyone celebrating the #FestivalOfLights across #VenturaCounty, the Conejo Valley, and around the world.

It’s Day 20 of the Republican shutdown – and Donald Trump is doing nothing to put an end to it.

Meet Theresa. Her twin boys depend on Medicaid to receive the care they need. Unlike Republicans, House Democrats are fighting to save health care and protect families like Theresa’s.

America has spoken once again: We have no kings. I was proud to join our community at one of several “No Kings” demonstrations in #VenturaCounty. Across the nation, millions of Americans stood up against the lawlessness, cruelty, and unchecked power of the Trump administration.

No kings.

Meet Catharyne. She’s a nurse and she’s fighting to protect her patients from hospital closures. And so are we. House Democrats are fighting to save health care so that it can remain as accessible and affordable as possible.

It’s Day 17 of the Republican shutdown — and it’s another day that Speaker Johnson puts politics before the American people.

I have received deeply concerning reports about an aggressive ICE activity that escalated into a vehicle collision in an Oxnard neighborhood. This situation raises serious alarm given the troubling pattern of misconduct and abuse by immigration enforcement officials across the country.

@SpeakerMikeJohnson, you don’t want to be “Mad Mike”?! Try being one of the 24 million Americans losing their health care or one of the hundreds of thousands of federal employees working without pay because of your Republican shutdown. That’s real cause for being hopping mad.

It’s Day 16 of the Republican shutdown – and Republicans are failing to address the full-blown health care crisis they created.
