HAPPENING NOW: Dr. Ruiz joins press conference with Ranking Member Rep. Takano, Rep. Deluzio and other coalition members against H.R. 9237, the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act,” a bill that would cut veterans’ hard-earned benefits. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/lSDnMY4...

Our veterans kept their promise of sacrifice and it’s up to Congress to keep our promise of support! We are 5 signatures away from a discharge petition that will force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act without any changes.

Since RFK Jr. took charge, we are on track to have the worst measles outbreak in decades. @repraulruizmd.bsky.social is right: the anti-vaccine movement has been damaging to our children and communities.

I convened local leaders to discuss improving safety, mobility, & emergency access in the Pass Area. By working together on projects like the Pennsylvania Ave. Grade Separation Project, we can reduce rail crossing delays, improve emergency response, & deliver safer infrastructure for residents.

🚨Veterans, we hear you loud and clear: WE MUST PASS THE MAJOR RICHARD STAR ACT.

I’m like a kid at a candy store with my hedge trimmer Father’s Day gift. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Another $2 million secured for Beaumont. This Community Project Funding will advance the Pennsylvania Ave Grade Separation, improving travel & reducing traffic disruptions caused by Union Pacific blockages. Improved infrastructure means reliable access to the resources our communities depend on.

Congratulations to Cordoba Corporation on its new El Centro Regional Office! Investing in infrastructure and workforce development creates career pathways, supports local businesses, and expands job opportunity for working people across Imperial Valley.

Thrilled to help secure $1,015,000 in federal funds for Westmorland Police & Fire Departments to create jobs and strengthen public safety infrastructure in Imperial Valley. This investment will improve emergency response, support first responders, and make our communities safer for working people.

No first responder should have to work in these unacceptable conditions. Can’t wait for the City of Westmorland to upgrade their Emergency Operation Center facilities made possible through the USDA and Community Project Funding.

Be on the lookout for updates on The #ShoreFire. If you're in an affected area, follow evacuation orders immediately and rely on official emergency alerts for updates. Stay safe, and thank you to our firefighters and first responders protecting our communities.

Today, I met with Leadership Counsel to discuss the status of the Desert View Power Plant cleanup and hear directly from community advocates about ongoing concerns in the Eastern Coachella Valley. #EnvironmentalJustice #CoachellaValley #DrRaulRuiz #CA25

14 years ago, America invested in the potential of Dreamers. Since then, DACA recipients have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and strengthened communities across the country. After 14 years of success, Dreamers deserve permanent protections—not uncertainty. #DACA #HomeIsHere #Dreamers

If you want to lower health care costs, you don't cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. Transparency is needed. But showing patients how much, they're getting ripped off doesn't stop them from getting ripped off. Let's do the real work.

106 years. 🍒 That’s how long Beaumont has been celebrating the Cherry Festival. I was so glad to introduce our hometown star and American Idol winner, Abi Carter, to the stage. If you’re in the area this weekend, come out to the Cherry Festival for great food, rides, and good times! 🎢

We listened. We learned. Now we get to work. Community health centers are the backbone of health care in our communities, and today their leaders showed us exactly how to make them stronger. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Today, I had the privilege of listening to Tribal leaders and working together on solutions to protect our lands and sacred sites for generations to come. Grateful for their wisdom.

I sat with residents along the New River & listened. Breathing problems. Eye irritation. Skin conditions. Cancer. This is what this river is doing to our communities and it has been ignored for far too long. I brought federal leaders here to hear it firsthand. The work continues until this is fixed.

I celebrated the 2026 Congressional Art Competition winners with students, families, and teachers! “Puppeteered by the Fear” by Karina Simo Vazquez will be hung in the halls of the U.S. Capitol for visitors to view and enjoy. I love seeing the creativity and work of our communities’ youth. 🎨🖌️🖼️

I convened growers across CA-25. Tariffs, rising gas prices, and supply costs are straining our regional economy. We discussed bold ideas, from strengthening buy local initiatives to tackling food insecurity head on. I am working to introduce legislation that puts our farmers and communities first.

Prepare for festival season with local road closures. Be safe and have fun!

Bracket-ing out time to celebrate women’s greatness 🏀💪 Congressman Ruiz and team making their picks for Women’s March Madness, because supporting women’s excellence is always a winning play.

Join me and other veterans organizations at Veterans University on March 28! We will be discussing how to access benefits and resources available to veterans and their loved ones. Can’t wait to see you there! Rancho Mirage | 9:30 AM Imperial | 6:00 PM Learn more: ruiz.house.gov/vu

TSA agents and DHS workers just missed their first full paycheck. Republicans can end this shutdown today, but they’re blocking funding unless ICE gets $28B more with no accountability. Hardworking Americans are paying the price.

We are working with Union Pacific to bring you the latest updates on the cause and aftermath of the car derailment in North Shore. Within an hour, the train cars will be completely cleaned. We will continue to keep you updated and get you the answers you’re looking for.

I called for a full & independent investigation into the conduct of CBP Commander Bovino. Communities in the country deserve answers, transparency & accountability for the violent treatment of non-criminal immigrants & US citizens, including the killings of Renée Good & Alex Pretti.

My heart breaks for the individuals and families affected by the shooting at Temple Israel in Detroit, Michigan. We cannot live in fear of practicing our faith in America. There is no place for hatred and violence in a place of worship.

I am honored to receive the Early Cancer Detection Champion Award from DAP Health for my work advancing H.R. 842, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. Expanding access to early cancer detection means saving more lives.

Today, I presented a check for $1 million to Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District for their Road Rehabilitation Project so the community can safely visit and remember their loved ones with dignity.

Have you all tried The Brown Bag sandwich and deli restaurant in Palm Desert north of the I-10? It’s a small shop and family owned. I got the Karv sandwich today for lunch and it was delicious! Let’s support small businesses when we can!

Disabled veterans shouldn’t have to choose between the retirement they earned, and the disability benefits they deserve. The Major Richard Star Act fixes this unfair policy and honors the service of combat-injured veterans who sacrificed for our country. Congress must pass it. #MajorRichardStarAct

My heart breaks for the service members killed and severely injured. My prayers are with their families and with every service member in harm’s way. We owe them support, clear objectives, and accountability.

Once again, Donald Trump has lied to the American people, broken the law, and risked American lives for a personal vendetta. He repeatedly promised no new wars and criticized past Presidents for starting wars without Congressional approval, but here he is, doing exactly that.

The Trump Admin, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, is moving to roll back the Endangerment Finding, the rule that lets us limit dangerous air pollution. That decision won’t stay in DC. It will be felt in places like our district, where families already live with dirty air and higher asthma rates.

Palo Verde Hospital is critical for the people of Blythe. Without it, patients facing emergencies would have to travel more than 70 miles for care and that distance and travel time can be the difference between life and death.

I am absolutely honored to help #IndianHealthServices (IHS) secure $8.05b in funding for FY26 and $5.3b in advanced funding for FY27!    Indian Health Services provides healthcare to 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. It is by law, an important responsibility, and very much needed.

Grateful to welcome water district leaders from our district to DC for my constituent open house. Ensuring safe, affordable drinking water and investing in modern water infrastructure takes strong partnerships and I’m committed to continuing this work together for our district.

Trump is admitting he lied when he said he "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program last year. #SOTU

Wondering when Trump is going to announce the arrest of Kristi Noem for her role in the deaths of two American Citizens in Minnesota. #SOTU

Much of the criminal activity in DC is occurring in the White House. #SOTU

I condemn all forms of political violence include yours Trump! I condemn the Jan 6th insurrection you directed and the threats you make. #SOTU

Trump, YOU suffer from dementia or selective memory. YOU actually tore children from their families arms as part of your cruel immigration policy. #SOTU

Criminal Trump continues his Big Lie about not losing to Biden and claiming massive cheating to justify making it harder for working people to vote and the Republican sheep in Congress know he’s lying but stood and cheered anyway. Despicable. #SOTU

No Trump, YOU should be ashamed of YOURSELF for being a convicted sex offender, an Epstein enabler, and for unleashing the brutality and violence on noncriminal immigrants and U.S. Citizens including the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

No Trump, YOU should be ashamed of yourself for unleashing the brutality and violence on noncriminal immigrants and U.S. Citizens. You are endangering the safety of Americans across the country! #SOTU

The first duty of the American President is to protect the American people. Trump has failed like no other President in history. #SOTU

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in American history. #SOTU

The only Nobel Prize that Trump deserves is for fiction. #SOTU

No President has done more harm to American families than Donald Trump. #SOTU
