I recently met with Ian Bastek, the Acting Chief Deputy Director for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, to receive an update on the agency’s statewide emergency response operations.

The American Dream of owning a home is out of reach for far too many. I’m excited to vote for the Housing for the 21st Century Act tonight to boost housing production, expand pathways to affordable home ownership, and make the dream of owning a home a reality for more Americans.

President Trump knows he’s unpopular and on track to lose the midterms. That’s why he wants to seize control of our elections and cheat to keep Republicans in power. We must take him at his word and fight back.

My Republican colleagues must denounce this vile racism from the President of the United States. This disgusting behavior has no place in our nation.

As a former educator, I love getting back into the classroom to talk with students about civic engagement, the legislative process, and how young people can shape the future.

Don Lemon’s work as a journalist is protected by the First Amendment. His arrest is another chilling example of the Trump administration weaponizing the federal government against its critics. Don must be released immediately.

President Trump has shown no willingness to fire Kristi Noem. That leaves Congress with no choice but to act. That is why I am cosponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem.

Greg Bovino’s exit from Minneapolis is not enough. Kristi Noem has lost the trust of the American people and must resign from her position as DHS Secretary.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the six million Jews and millions of other innocents murdered by the Nazi regime. We must recommit ourselves to fighting antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never minimized or forgotten.

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. We must restore Roe and give women the right to make their own health care decisions.

It's been 1 year since Trump took office. New Dems Answer: Are the American people better off now than they were a year ago?

TONIGHT: @bera.house.gov joins @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

It was great to meet with María Corina Machado and hear about her vision for a free and prosperous Venezuela. Her courageous leadership continues to give hope to millions of Venezuelans fighting for a better future.

The data proves Trump wrong. California families spent $2,355 more on average last year because of inflation fueled by Trump's tariffs. The president needs to acknowledge reality and follow through on his promise to lower costs.

Team Bera joined the Del Paso Heights community at Grant Union High School to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The people of Greenland must determine Greenland’s future. The president’s bullying tactics alienate our NATO allies, do nothing to advance our national interests, and will raise costs for us here at home. We must reassert congressional authority over tariffs to put an end to this madness.

I'm getting tons of letters from my constituents talking about how they can no longer afford their health care premiums. Last week, the House voted to restore ACA subsidies and deliver relief to the American people. Senate Republicans and President Trump must act.

Stephen Miller’s statement that ICE officers can essentially do whatever they want and act with impunity is appalling and dangerous. This is how democracies die. We have to stand up and fight for our rights because tyrants like Stephen Miller are trying to take them away from us.

To compete with China on critical minerals, we must invest in our people. Proud to lead this bipartisan bill w/ Senators Rosen, Curtis, Kaine, & Scott, and Representatives @bera.house.gov, Huizenga, & Young Kim to strengthen our education and workforce, and to secure our critical minerals future.

The Iranian people have suffered decades of oppression under dictatorial rule. That oppression is on full display in the regime’s violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators. I condemn this brutality and stand with the brave people of Iran as they rise up to demand a better future.

President Trump's politically motivated investigation into Chairman Jerome Powell is a blatant attack on the Federal Reserve’s independence and threatens the stability of our economy. My Republican colleagues have a responsibility to condemn this unacceptable behavior.

We successfully forced a vote against Speaker Johnson's wishes to restore Affordable Care Act subsidies and lower health care costs for more than 20 million Americans. That vote is happening this afternoon. Let’s get this done.

15 years ago today, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social was shot during a meeting with constituents that took six lives and injured 13 others. In the aftermath of this tragedy, she became a relentless advocate for commonsense gun safety legislation.

Every House Democrat and four Republicans signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies. That vote will happen this week. I invite more of my Republican colleagues to support our push lower health care costs for the American people.

The video of an ICE officer fatally shooting a woman through her car window in Minneapolis is sickening and appalling. This is a tragic consequence of the Administration permitting ICE officers to act with impunity. No one deserves this treatment.

Five years ago today, a violent mob stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election and stop the peaceful transfer of power.

I was also at this briefing. Senator Shaheen is accurate and correct. We were misled by Administration officials.

President Trump is drawing our nation into another open-ended conflict and is risking a repeat of failed nation-building efforts. Read my full statement:

Happy New Year, Sacramento County! Wishing everyone a fabulous 2026.

As the clock winds down on 2025, I’m proud of the work my team and I have done to serve Sacramento County.

This year, my dedicated casework team assisted more than 4,000 Sacramento County residents and returned over $3 million to local taxpayers by cutting through red tape and resolving issues with federal agencies.

This time of year can be especially challenging for those facing hardship. It’s also a moment to come together as a community and give back. I find purpose in volunteering with local organizations that work to ensure no one feels forgotten or left behind during the holidays.

Wishing a joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate in Sacramento County and around the world!

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone a fabulous day filled with love, joy, and quality time spent with friends and family. 🎄🎁

Congress should not leave for the holidays without extending ACA subsidies and protecting more than 20 million Americans from skyrocketing health care premiums. I’m calling on Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the floor immediately.

President Trump: you don't have the authority to take us to war with Venezuela. Only Congress has the power to declare war. If you believe there is a threat to the United States, you need to make your case to Congress.

NEWS: We now have 218 signatures on this discharge petition to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies by three years. I look forward to voting for this bill as soon as possible to save access to affordable, quality health care for over 20 million Americans.

Public service is a public trust. Members of Congress should not profit from their positions or trade on info we may receive as part of our official duties. That's why I signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on a stock trading ban and help restore confidence in our government.

My constituents are struggling to keep up with rising costs fueled by this Administration’s tariffs. Many are spending the holidays worrying about whether they’ll be able to afford health care next year. These guys are completely out of touch.

Every single House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. We only need FOUR Republicans to stand up to Speaker Johnson and join us in protecting access to affordable, quality health care for over 20 million Americans.

Over 20 million Americans will see their health care costs dramatically increase if Affordable Care Act subsidies are not extended. I have joined all of my Democratic colleagues in signing a discharge petition to force a vote on extending these subsidies for three years.

As our Jewish neighbors in Sacramento County gather to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, Janine and I are praying for the families grieving loved ones and for the full recovery of those injured in the terrorist attack targeting the Jewish community in Sydney, Australia.

Our nation has a responsibility to take care of our veterans from the start of their transition to civilian life through the end of their lives. That's why I'm proud to support @newdems.bsky.social's comprehensive plan to ensure our veterans receive the care and support they deserve.

You should never have to choose between putting food on your table, covering your rent, and paying your health insurance premium. But for more than 20 million Americans, that already difficult decision will become even harder if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.

Affordability is not a hoax. It’s something American families deal with every day from putting food on the table to paying the rent to deciding whether they can afford health insurance. This is a crisis and Donald Trump is making a joke out of it.

This is a dangerous move that undermines our technological edge over China.  The president should not be allowed to make unilateral decisions like this behind closed doors and over the objections of our national security experts.
