Honored to attend the opening of The Obama Presidential Center.

The Iran deal was signed on Sunday. The fact that the trump Administration hasn’t released the deal language and instead is having JD Vance try to spin the deal in advance tells you all you need to know.

trump is rapidly becoming a lame duck President. His name has already been removed from the Kennedy Center. And his name will be removed from everything in due time. He will go down as the worst President in American history with little permanent changes he can point to.

Got a new photo for my Capitol Office.

Honored to have campaigned for my friend Xavier Becerra during the primary. Xavier will be the next Governor of California.

MAGA figures are sore losers and crybabies. If their preferred candidate loses an election, they scream fraud with no evidence. Dems massively outnumber Republicans in LA by nearly 4 to 1. LA Times poll showed Republican Spencer Pratt would be 3rd. Which is what we are seeing.

Today is Monday. That means trump falls asleep at yet another high profile event with cameras rolling. Imagine what happens when there are no cameras. trump is not mentally or physically fit to be President of the United States.

I’ve just discovered bubble waffles. They are amazing. Especially with strawberry jam and crunchy peanut butter.

At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory earlier this week with Reps Valerie Foushee and Josh Gottheimer, Co-Chairs of the Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy. This pictures shows two quantum computing chips that Berkeley Lab is testing.

Why is the trump Administration floating reversing course on AI? Because their strategy of letting the industry run wild with no guardrails has resulted in massive backlash from the American public. November is coming.

Political violence is never the answer. Grateful no one was injured at the White House correspondents’ dinner. The shooter should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you to the voters of Virginia for choosing to hold trump and Republicans accountable. trump and Republicans chose to start mid-decade redistricting. Democrats chose to win it. November is coming.

Thank you Governor Newsom for your leadership. I met with Hermeus and they are an amazing company with super cool technology that is creating lots of jobs in my district.

Inflation continues to rise. The producer price index (PPI) rose .5% from February and 4% from March 2025. The year-to-year increase was the biggest in more than three years. What is trump focused on? Attacking the Pope and posting Jesus-like images of himself.

“All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.” Isaiah 44:9

Congressional Republicans and trump have ushered in the Golden Age of Inflation. Inflation accelerated to 3.3%. And what do trump and Republicans want to do? Vote for even more spending in their proposed reconciliation bill.

Today I discovered having butter cake with stout beer. Tastes pretty amazing.

Inflation is up Incomes are down GDP growth lowered again to an anemic .5% What has Vice President @JDVance been focused on? Campaigning in a foreign country for a foreign politician who is a puppet of Putin.

Congratulations to Democrat Chris Taylor for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court election! Every time there has been an election last year and this year, the Democratic candidate way over performs. There will be a blue tsunami this November.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -trump Only one class of weapons can prevent a civilization from being brought back: nuclear weapons. The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, now.

Congratulations to UCLA for winning its first NCAA National Title in program history!!

Happy Easter!

Every military strategist understands Sun Tzu’s observation: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” trump just announced with a bullhorn his greatest weakness in this war. Iran suspected, but now knows, what trump fears.

Congratulations to UCLA for advancing to the NCAA National Championship!

My prayers are with the crew of the F-15 that Iran shot down.

Everyone knew the US military can obliterate any country. But what the war in Iran showed is that our military and allies cannot defend our own bases or assets from a second tier military, especially in a prolonged conflict. We need an entirely new defense strategy, particularly for Indo-Pacific.

November is coming

Rep Jared Huffman is one of the smartest and most courageous Members of Congress. I just purchased his book NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. You can too by clicking the link below. This is a critical issue and I’m so pleased Rep Huffman is addressing it head on.

Inflation continues to rise under the disastrous policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans. PPI inflation rises to 3.4%, above expectations of 2.9%. Core PPI inflation rises to 3.9%, above expectations of 3.7%. Core PPI inflation at its highest since February 2023.

I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base. Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.

Happy Pi Day!

This heartwarming story does not surprise me because AI has made incredible leaps in just a few years. But I’m happy this story will piss off conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. and anti-vaxxers who don’t trust science and mRNA vaccines.

My prayers are with the families and friends of the six crew members who died when their KC-135 refueling aircraft went down.

Inflation continues to rise under the disastrous policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans. The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, Core PCE, increased to 3.1% in January, the highest level in 22 months.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

Congratulations to Democrat Bobbi Boudman for flipping NH Carroll District 7 from red to blue! Another huge Democratic over performance. November is coming.

Betty and I had a wonderful time at the Torrance Firefighters Spaghetti Dinner and Bake Sale tonight! Thank you to the amazing firefighters who protect us, and to all those who support our firefighters. Torrance is one of the few cities that has a Class 1 Fire Department.
