(1/2): North Korean refugees deserve refuge & shouldn’t be forcibly returned to a cruel authoritarian regime.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Trump does not get to pick and choose what court orders to follow. The Trump administration must fully comply with this ruling and release SNAP benefits to help families pay for groceries. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/judge...

Nancy Pelosi is a living legend. Throughout her nearly 40-year career in Congress, she cemented her legacy as a trailblazer, master legislator, and the most consequential Speaker in American history.

We are now in the longest government shutdown in American history. Instead of bringing both parties to the table, Speaker Johnson has kept the House in recess since September 19th. Enough.

It makes me proud to be an American every time we have the chance to vote and participate in our democracy. We must never take that freedom for granted. Polls are open until 8PM. Get out there and vote, California! 🗳️

The president is openly defying a court order to release SNAP benefits to help families pay for groceries. Trump does not get to pick and choose what court orders to follow. It is the law. These benefits must go out.

Today is Election Day! Polls are open in California until 8pm. Make a plan and cast your vote today ➡ vote.ca.gov

I spent the morning volunteering at the Rancho Cordova Food Locker and saw firsthand just how real the impact of this government shutdown is. Families are lining up for food because SNAP benefits haven’t gone out on time.

Yesterday, two federal judges ruled that the Trump administration’s withholding of November food assistance payments was illegal. While that decision is welcome, concern and confusion remain as some families may still face delays in receiving their SNAP benefits.

Happy Halloween, Sacramento County! Wishing everyone a safe and spooky night. 🎃 👻

The Trump administration must comply with this ruling and take immediate action to ensure millions of families can continue to put food on the table.

Thank you to the over 8,000 Sacramento County residents who joined me tonight for my telephone town hall. I know many in our community are struggling right now & are concerned about the future of our nation. I hear you and remain committed to doing everything I can to fight for you in Washington.

Join me tomorrow at 6pm for my latest telephone town hall! I’ll share updates on my efforts to reopen the federal government, protect access to affordable health care for millions of Americans, and advocate for Sacramento County in Congress.

Federal workers are showing up every day to keep America running — even without a paycheck. They’re doing their jobs. It’s time for Speaker Johnson and President Trump to do theirs. Let’s reopen the government, pay our workers, and lower health care costs for the American people.

Mike Johnson doesn’t have a plan to end this shutdown.  He doesn’t actually care about what’s happening to American families.  He only answers to one person: Donald Trump.  Trump can end this shutdown today by calling up Mike Johnson and instructing him to cut a deal.

I’ll be LIVE on CNN at 6:35am PT to discuss the news of the day. Tune in!

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees: If Congress does not act, both Democrats and Republicans across the country are going to lose health care coverage. CAPAC Whip @bera.house.gov shares how Democrats are fighting to protect Americans’ health care. WATCH:

I proudly stood with TSA agents and air traffic controllers at Sacramento Int’l Airport. These essential workers continue to show up every day to keep the traveling public safe, even as they go without pay. They're doing their jobs. It's time for President Trump and Speaker Johnson to do theirs.

Wishing a safe, healthy, and joyful Diwali to everyone celebrating in Sacramento County and around the world. Today, we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the power of knowledge and kindness as we work together to build a better world.

No one wins a government shutdown. It’s the American people who lose. Speaker Johnson needs to call us back to D.C. to negotiate a deal that protects affordable health care and reopens the government to serve the American people.

Covered California's renewal season begins tomorrow. My constituents are already receiving notices that their monthly premiums will skyrocket if Congress fails to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies by the end of the year. We cannot wait to act.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the rich history, culture, and contributions of Native peoples in Sacramento County and across our nation. Sacramento County is the proud home of Wilton Rancheria, our county’s only federally recognized tribe.

I am deeply relieved that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been reached, bringing an end to two years of horrific violence, loss, and trauma. Read my full statement.

I rarely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene — but she’s right on this. If ACA subsidies expire, health care costs will skyrocket and millions will be priced out of coverage. We have the power to fix this. Let’s make a deal.

We are now in Day 8 of the government shutdown. Our troops will miss a paycheck if we don't reopen by Oct 13th. Speaker Johnson must bring lawmakers back to negotiate a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government, protect affordable health care, & ensure our troops get paid on time.

Two years ago today, Hamas terrorists carried out a brutal and unconscionable attack on Israel, murdering nearly 1,200 innocent people — including 46 Americans — and taking hundreds hostage. Read my full statement marking today's solemn anniversary.

We cannot let this shutdown continue. It is time for Speaker Johnson to bring Congress back to protect affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans and reopen the government to serve the American people.

Even during a government shutdown, my offices in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. remain open, fully staffed, and ready to help.

Today, I formally requested that my pay be withheld until the federal government reopens. While our troops and federal workers are forced to work without pay during a shutdown, Members of Congress still get paid. That’s not right.

Wishing a safe and meaningful fast to all observing Yom Kippur in Sacramento County and around the world. G’mar Chatima Tova.

As of 12:01am ET, the federal government has shut down. My offices in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. remain open and ready to help. If you’re experiencing issues with Social Security, Medicare, veterans’ benefits, the IRS, passports, or other federal services, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

This moment demands leadership from the President of the United States. President Trump is failing by every measure.

This is what is at stake. This is who I am fighting for.

The government shuts down in less than 10 hours. I’m back in D.C. ready to negotiate a deal to protect your health care and keep the government open. Let’s get this done.

24 million Americans — including 28,000 right here in our district — would see their health care premiums skyrocket if Republicans let Affordable Care Act subsidies expire. I’m fighting to extend these subsidies to protect access to affordable, quality health care for Sacramento County families.

President Trump backed out of a meeting with Democratic leadership. The deadline to fund the government is just four days away. It is time for President Trump to get off the golf course and make a deal with Democrats to protect Americans’ health care and keep the government open.

As a doctor, I've seen firsthand what happens when people lose access to health care. Patients skip checkups and go without medications. Chronic conditions worsen, small problems turn into major health crises, and preventable illnesses become emergencies.

Health care costs will soar for millions of Americans if Congressional Republicans let Affordable Care Act subsidies expire. We must extend these subsidies to protect access to affordable health care. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/h...

President Trump and Congressional Republicans must come to the negotiating table to prevent a harmful government shutdown and protect Americans’ health care. If they refuse to negotiate, they will bear full responsibility for shutting down the government.

The American people deserve public health recommendations rooted in science and evidence. That’s why I will continue to speak out as RFK Jr. spreads dangerous misinformation — from undermining trust in vaccines to making unfounded claims about acetaminophen.

President Trump is backing out of a meeting with Democratic leadership. The deadline to fund the government is one week from today. If the government shuts down, President Trump and Congressional Republicans will be to blame.

Wishing a sweet and joyous Rosh Hashanah to all celebrating in Sacramento County and around the world. May 5786 bring you joy, health, and the opportunity for growth and renewal. L'Shanah Tovah.

As a doctor, I encourage President Trump and RFK Jr. to embrace the scientific method and avoid making unfounded recommendations to the American public.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans must come to the negotiating table to prevent a harmful government shutdown and protect Americans’ health care. If they refuse to negotiate, they will bear full responsibility for shutting down the government.

The recommendations from RFK Jr.'s hand-picked vaccine panel should not be treated as legitimate.
