The fact is, President Trump's own acting attorney general signed an order granting Trump, his family, his trusts, and his businesses permanent immunity from IRS audits.   And Secretary Scott Bessent doesn't want to talk about it.

The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's war with Iran, joining with the Senate.    The Constitution is clear: Only Congress, not the president, can declare war.    Congress has spoken: Trump must end his illegal war now.

There’s still time to vote. Polls close at 8 PM tonight, and if you're in line by 8 PM, you can still cast your ballot. Every vote counts. 🗳️

Election Day is here! It's your last chance to vote in the California primary election. Make your voice heard and get out there and vote.   Find your nearest polling center here: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

Our immigration system is broken. I have been fighting for comprehensive reform that speeds up case processing of cases, reflects our workforce needs, and treats all people with dignity and humanity.

It was wonderful to be at the Greater Whittier LGBTQ+ Center to raise the Pride flag to kick off Pride Month.   To everyone in the LGBTQ+ community: you belong, you matter, and I'll always stand with you.   Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Polls are open across California! Today is the last day to vote in the primary. If you’re looking for your polling place, ballot drop box, or information on same-day voter registration, you can find details here: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

Pride Month is about celebrating the freedom to be yourself and to love who you love.   I'm proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community in Southern California and across the country as we continue the fight for equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Today, we honor those who never returned home. The sacrifice they made for our freedom can never be repaid. Instead, we must continue to push to better serve those who served our nation in uniform and their families.

The reality is that childcare today is more expensive than college tuition.   That is why I introduced the CHILD Act with Rep. Bice to allow parents to set aside more pre-tax dollars for childcare expenses to help make it more affordable for working families.

Rep. Linda Sanchez on the reality of making legislation to expand child care more bipartisan in Congress. Watch 535 live at 535.news every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when Congress is in session.

Republicans claim they're tough on fraud while ignoring the biggest grift in our nation's history. @replindasanchez.bsky.social:

I conducted oversight of the Adelanto ICE facility and was appalled by the conditions. Mold, poor health care, barely enough food. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and humanity. The Trump administration must be held accountable.

Families across Southern California are being priced out because there aren’t enough affordable homes.   That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Rental Housing Investment Act to lower construction costs, build more housing, and help working families find homes they can afford.

Chemical companies have been poisoning our drinking water with cancer-causing forever chemicals and Trump now wants to let them dump even more. My bill would make these corporations, not taxpayers, pay to clean up their pollution. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/c...

While Americans drown in Trump's rising costs, he just rigged the IRS to ensure he and his family can never be touched for not paying their taxes.   One set of rules for Trump, another for everyone else. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Trump turning his back on Dreamers is sadly not surprising. Just more of his cruel policies. We should fix our broken immigration system, not force young people & families to live in fear. If you need help with a DACA renewal, my office is here to help. www.axios.com/2026/05/18/t...

Heartbroken by the tragic shooting in San Diego today. Praying for the victims, their families and everyone affected by this senseless act of violence. There is no place hate in our communities.

Trump created a $1.8 billion slush fund to give your money to his friends and allies, potentially including Jan. 6 insurrectionists. House GOP won't say a word. But Democrats are fighting back against this blatant theft of taxpayer money. www.ms.now/news/house-d...

Today, I led my @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social colleagues in calling on the Trump Administration to use the USMCA review to strengthen worker protections, environmental standards, and our economic security.   We need trade policies that put American workers and families first.

Today marks 61 years of Head Start and its impact on more than 40 million children, families, and communities, including here in Southern California. Head Start makes a real difference for our kids, and now more than ever, it’s critical that this program receives the proper funding.

Really glad I could stop by Downey’s Special Needs Awareness and Resources Fair. It was great meeting Special Olympics Southern California athletes from Long Beach and hearing their stories. Thank you to everyone working to build a more inclusive community. 💙

I’m proud to have secured $250K in federal funding for Whittier to expand internet access across Whittier. This investment will help connect more students, families, and small businesses to the opportunities they need.

Great spending time at the Downey Street Faire! It was nice getting to talk with community members at our booth and seeing so many local small businesses out connecting with residents.

@adamsmith.house.gov, @chu.house.gov & I led 26 bipartisan members demanding answers over Taiwan's exclusion from the recent WTO conference. Our message is clear: the U.S. stands united against China's efforts to isolate Taiwan.

I just voted to stop Trump's illegal war in Iran. Once again, Republicans blocked us. But Democrats are not done. We will keep fighting to end this war that is wasting billions of dollars and driving up prices on everything from gas to groceries.

Loved seeing everyone out at Santa Fe Springs’ 80s-themed 5K this weekend! 🎶👟 The outfits were amazing, the energy was great, and it was such a fun way to bring everyone together.

Honored to celebrate 50 years of service with the Community Family Guidance Center! 💙 For decades, they have provided critical mental health support to underserved children and families across Southeast Los Angeles County. Thank you for your incredible work and commitment to our community.

Working families and small businesses paid the price for Trump’s illegal tariffs through higher costs and economic chaos. They deserve a refund – not large corporations. www.whittierdailynews.com/2026/05/09/l...

Had a great time attending the WRD’s Groundwater Festival! From educational booths to family activities, this event highlighted why protecting our water resources matters for future generations.

President Trump never gets tired of losing in court www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who lead with love and strength every day. 💐 Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m forever grateful for every moment with my son. Wishing everyone a beautiful Mother’s Day!

This year’s Art Competition was truly one to remember! Thank you to every student who participated and to everyone who helped make this event possible. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Maria Varquez, whose piece “Merkado” will represent our district in Washington!

Thank you to the La Mirada Chamber of Commerce for hosting a fantastic Cinco de Mayo celebration! 🇲🇽🎉 I enjoyed connecting with members of our community and celebrating the rich culture and traditions that strengthen our region.

I’m relieved to see SCOTUS protect access to mifepristone. This medication has been safely used for decades and this will ensure patients can continue making their own healthcare decisions with their doctors. apnews.com/article/abor...

Union representation means higher wages, better benefits, safer working conditions, and a path to the middle class. Today and everyday, I’m proud to join my @laborcaucus.house.gov colleagues in fighting to pass the #PROAct and protect the right to organize. #InternationalWorkersDay

This is a win! After holding Homeland Security funding hostage for more than a month, House Republicans finally caved, and Democrats passed funding for DHS - without giving a single dime to ICE. I won't stop fighting until we rein in ICE and end their abuses.

I’m glad to see a tentative agreement reached in Little Lake, bringing educators back to the classroom and stability for our students. This is a step in the right direction.

I voted for an amendment in the Farm Bill to ensure families can use SNAP to buy rotisserie chicken, because no one should be denied from a simple, healthy meal.

SCOTUS's decision strips away decades of civil rights progress. This creates a dangerous precedent and threatens to silence communities of color. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

When ICE entered a hospital that serves my district, patients avoided care and public health suffered.   Today, I called on that hospital's CEO to have a clear plan that protects patients if ICE shows up again.

Gas prices and groceries keep rising, but Trump only cares about one thing: Trump. Building golden ballrooms for himself and slapping his photo on everything won't help working families struggling to get by. www.cnn.com/2026/04/28/p...

Time and again, the Trump administration has taken actions that harm immigrant communities who pay their fair share. Now they’re proposing rules that would limit access to certain tax credits for immigrants. @repgwenmoore.bsky.social and I are pushing back.

Republicans are rolling back the rules that keep our air breathable and our water safe, all so billionaire polluters can get another tax break. This Earth Day, we’re standing up for what’s worth protecting.

FACT: U.S. households have spent an average of $1,700 more because of Trump's tariffs. @replindasanchez.bsky.social:

Teachers are shaping the next generation and devoting themselves tirelessly to our students. They deserve to be treated fairly at work. Today, I called on the Little Lake School District to negotiate in good faith and reach a fair contract that respects our teachers.

Why is the Trump administration hellbent on making Americans sicker and now less secure? This isn't about personal freedom; it's about mission readiness. Vaccine requirements don't just save lives; they keep our troops healthy to serve. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It was great to visit Los Nietos Middle School's students and educators, who's are inspiring the next generation through STEAM education.   Congratulations on being awarded two Golden Bell Awards! It's wonderful to see such curiosity, creativity, and commitment to learning in our community.

And there it is, folks! Despite all RFK Jr's efforts against vaccines, EVEN HE ADMITS that the measles vaccine would have prevented a six-year-old's death from the Texas measles outbreak last year.
