Food security and agriculture are fundamental to our region. That’s why collaborating with leaders in Sacramento is important. Together, we’re working with farmers to ensure every family has access to fresh, healthy food. 🧵

I've worked for decades to expand access to mental health care and addiction support. In 2014, I authored the Excellence in Mental Health Act to establish the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model, bringing much-needed mental health services to Sacramento families & across the country.🧵

In Sacramento, we know how to move forward responsibly. I met with Sacramento’s environmental and development leaders to chart a path that supports smart development while rejecting extreme deregulation.

Sacramento prioritizes public safety. Whether it's natural disasters like floods, wildfires, or emerging threats such as organized retail crime and cyberattacks. I’m committed to strengthening and modernizing the tools we use to keep us safe—working in partnership with our public safety leaders.🧵

Flood protection in Sacramento isn’t optional—it’s essential. I’ve worked to deliver billions in funding to help ensure Sacramentans can live safely and with peace of mind, and that work continues. That’s why my meetings with regional flood protection and water resources leaders are so important. 🧵

I am proud to lead an Earth Day resolution that recognizes recent environmental progress, reaffirms the work still ahead, and renews our commitment to a livable future. Earth Day is about people as much as it is about the planet. 🧵 matsui.house.gov/media/press-...

It was great to welcome my friend, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, to connect with Sacramento regional leaders. Governor Sherrill is a dynamic leader who represents the kind of leadership needed to meet this moment and build what comes next. 🧵

Thank you to the Metro Chamber for bringing together hundreds of our regional leaders every year for Cap-to-Cap.  Sacramento shows what is possible when we come together. We collaborate, we innovate, and we deliver results. 🧵

Kari’s Law was passed by Congress after the tragic murder of Kari Hunt, whose daughter was unable to reach emergency services from a hotel phone because she did not know she needed to dial an extra 9 for outgoing calls. In an emergency, there is no room for confusion or delay. 🧵

I’m proud that today the House will pass my Emergency Reporting Act, because when a family calls 9-1-1, they should never be met with silence. 🧵

I had an excellent meeting with the California School Boards Association. Our commitment to students and future generations is fundamental to our work. I am grateful for our partnership as we navigate an administration that seeks to undermine education and the critical resources students rely on.

I just introduced a bill to give the FDA, health care providers, and the public more transparency into where prescription drugs and their key ingredients are actually made so we can better prevent drug shortages.🧵

Speaker Johnson just called us back to the floor in the middle of the night. You can’t make this up. At 2 a.m. Republicans are jamming through a backroom deal to extend FISA before their own Members have even read the bill. [1/3]

Congress cannot wait for Donald Trump to commit the war crimes he’s threatening before reining him in. Time and again, his dangerous rhetoric is dismissed—only for the United States and the world to face the consequences of his incompetence and cruelty. 🧵

Today is the deadline to submit your piece to the Congressional Art Competition!

Section 702 of FISA violates the 4th Amendment—full stop. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding a course correction. We can protect our country without infringing on constitutional rights.

This Tax Day is a reminder that while costs keep rising for working families, the only people seeing relief are the wealthy elite. Trump's made life more unaffordable for people who work hard, play by the rules, and still can't get ahead. 🧵

I am joining my colleagues in introducing this legislation, because the 25th Amendment cannot rise or fall on whether Trump's loyalist Cabinet has the courage to act. He is unfit to serve. Congress must enforce accountability.

#BlackMaternalHealthWeek is a time to honor Black mothers and recommit ourselves to the fight for health equity. Black women deserve to be heard and respected throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. I'll keep fighting to ensuring every mother is treated with the dignity and care she deserves.

Mental health care is health care, and for too long, mental health has NOT been treated with the urgency, compassion, or attention it deserves. I have worked with WellSpace Health for many years to improve our 988-access hotline and invest federal funds into mental health projects. 🧵

The sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Eric Swalwell are deeply disturbing and disqualifying for anyone elected to public office. There is absolutely no place in Congress for any member to engage in such cruel behavior. 🧵

Sam Greenlee and Alchemist CDC have always shown up for Sacramento. When families need food. When small businesses need support. When our community needs connection. The Alchemist Public Market will bring all of that together in one place—transforming the River District and expanding opportunity.🧵

As a Japanese American woman, AANHPI Equal Pay Day is personal to me. AANHPI women are not a monolith and one broad number can hide deeper pay gaps facing many women across our communities. Equal pay means every woman counts. #AANHPIEqualPay

California is closing in on wildfire season. And Trump is gutting the critical research and resources the @forestservice.bsky.social provides to keep Sacramentans informed and safe. 🧵

I want to thank La Familia Counseling Center for their partnership in putting on today's passport fair. Essential services like this should be in reach and efficient for everyone. That’s why La Familia and I made sure to get this done. When we come together, communities win.

Speaker Johnson needs to do his job and bring the House back into session immediately. Congress needs to reconvene NOW to rein in the madman in the oval office. Trump's cabinet has a responsibility to the American people, they must also invoke the 25th Amendment, and they need to do it NOW.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President. His erratic behavior and dangerous rhetoric make that clear. We have legal processes for moments like this, and his Cabinet has a duty to the American people to invoke the 25th Amendment. This war is immoral. It is illegal. It must end now.

The Trump administration's cruelty is beyond the pale. Title IX makes it very clear that discriminatory practices against ANY student based on gender is illegal. Bigotry should never be rewarded, and the rights of all must be defended tirelessly. [1/2]

Happy Easter! May your day be filled with peace, joy, and renewal.

Trump’s greed remains unsatisfied even after gutting nearly a trillion dollars from health care in the big ugly bill. Now he wants $1.5 trillion to fund his illegal war. I am a firm HELL NO on any funding being taken away from the resources everyday Americans rely on to enable Trump’s recklessness.

May this season of renewal bring your families peace and offer a time to reflect upon the story of freedom and liberation. Wishing you a meaningful Passover!

Americans are struggling to afford health and childcare, while Trump is admitting he can’t protect Medicare or Medicaid because he is choosing costly, illegal wars instead.

Pam Bondi’s tenure as Attorney General has been a disgrace to this office and the rule of law. Between covering up the Epstein files and trying to prosecute Trump’s political opponents, her removal was long overdue. [1/2]

When I was born, my family had nothing. Not even our freedom. Now Trump is pressuring the Supreme Court to gut the 14th Amendment & decide who gets to be American. That includes families like mine. This is unacceptable & I will fight against this every step of the way. apnews.com/article/supr...

I am proud to have secured $2 million dollars in federal funding for the Mosaic Village in West Sacramento. For people facing homelessness, addiction, or trauma, support cannot come in pieces. It has to come together holistically. [1/2]

The court saw this for what it was: Trump tried to punish NPR and PBS for coverage he didn’t like. That is unlawful retaliation and it violates the First Amendment. I’ll always stand up for public media, local journalism, and the freedom of the press.

I had a great time at Elk Grove’s State of the City! Year after year, Elk Grove proves why it's a model community—from community-focused projects and public safety to economic development, its leadership knows what it takes. I'm so proud to represent such a vibrant, inclusive, and growing community.

March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility, a day of celebration, advocacy, and education to honor the lives and stories of trans people. Now more than ever, we must uplift trans and nonbinary people to make our collective power stronger than ever.

Today, we honor the hardworking farmworkers who help feed our country and sustain our families. We celebrate the achievements made in advancing fair wages, safer working conditions, and greater protections. [1/2]

Trump's executive order targeting birthright citizenship is clearly unconstitutional. They are making a nonscience argument based on nativism and fear. The rule of law is stronger than their hateful rhetoric. apnews.com/article/supr...

Putting boots on the ground in Iran cannot happen. Time and time again this administration has forced the American people to sacrifice due to Trump’s incompetence. Now he's planning to force 10,000 of our service members into harm’s way to fix a mess he alone created. [1/2]

My message is simple: NO kings, NO fear, NO more of Trump’s authoritarian agenda. I voted HELL NO on ICE and CBP funding, period. I will not vote to fund agencies that have torn families apart, detained children, and killed innocent Americans.

Tonight, Speaker Johnson made it very clear: House Republicans are more committed to ICE's authoritarian campaign than they are to ensuring that hardworking Americans don’t miss another paycheck. [1/2]

House Republicans are once again trying to jam through ICE and CBP funding. I could not be more clear—I have been and still am a HELL NO on any ICE and CBP funding. Period.

Women take 15 months to earn what men make in just 12. We shouldn’t have to work longer, harder, or prove more just to receive fair pay. The wage gap in our country is unacceptable—and it continues to grow. [1/2]

This merger must go before the full commission. Chairman Carr needs to stop playing games, stop slow rolling the process, and name a date for a vote. Acting like he alone gets to decide is not leadership. It is a sign of corruption and unfitness for office.

Trump says voting by mail was okay for him because he’s the president. That is the problem. He thinks being president puts him above YOU. It doesn’t.

Congress made it clear—no single company can reach more than 39 percent of U.S. households, but Chairman Carr ignored that rule to clear a mega-merger that would reach 80% of American households. Why? Because these companies are willing to bend to pressure and silence speech Trump disagrees with.

Donald Trump’s repeated claims that peace is within reach have no credibility. His lack of transparency reflects a failure of leadership and no clear strategy. Meanwhile, the American people are left to deal with the consequences.

My team will be at the Arthur F. Turner Community Library in West Sacramento tomorrow from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM to assist anyone seeking help with a federal agency. Feel free to stop by—we’re here to help!
