In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells the story of Henry, a young TB patient he met in Sierra Leone, and highlights how this preventable disease still claims 1.5M lives each year.
I’m grateful he shared a copy of his book and for using his platform to call attention to this critical issue.

It was a pleasure welcoming @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social to my office to talk about our shared commitment to ending tuberculosis—one of the world’s deadliest, yet curable, infectious diseases.
We can’t afford to go backward. I’ll keep working to safeguard our environment and ensure we leave a cleaner and safer world for future generations.
I proudly voted for these measures to help build a healthier, more sustainable future.
Unfortunately, the Trump administration has already taken steps to roll back critical environmental and public health protections—actions that undermine our progress and put communities at risk.
Happy Earth Day, Sacramento County! Today, we honor the natural beauty of our planet and renew our commitment to protecting it.
Under President Biden’s leadership, Congressional Democrats made historic investments to lower energy costs, grow our economy & accelerate our transition to clean energy.
I am greatly disturbed by the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed at least 20 civilians and injured dozens more.
My thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted by this horrific event.

Instead of focusing on lowering costs, President Trump’s reckless policies and statements are driving the stock market toward its worst April since the Great Depression.
The American people are paying the price for this chaos.
I had the chance to visit with the Pope during his last visit to Washington, and he left us with a simple but powerful message: be kind, show compassion and build community.
Let’s honor his legacy by following his example.
May he rest in peace.
I’m saddened by the passing of Pope Francis.
Francis was a Jesuit, and he lived that calling every day—lifting up the poor, comforting the sick and reminding us to care for those with the least among us.
Secretary Hegseth continues to prove he is unserious about our national security and is unfit to serve. He must resign.
Happy Easter, Sacramento County! 🐣🌷🐰
Pulling the plug on AmeriCorps insults those who serve.
I’ll keep fighting to protect AmeriCorps and the lives it impacts across California.
AmeriCorps members serve with heart — from helping students in Sacramento County to responding to disasters nationwide.
That’s why I fought to bring AmeriCorps funding home — and why I stand with @governor.ca.gov against President Trump’s reckless dismantling of national service.
I’ll keep fighting to protect Head Start and stop these harmful cuts.
Head Start supports kids from birth to five — the most critical years for development.
But the Trump Administration has already slashed funding, forcing preschool closures — and now they want to eliminate the program entirely.

I’ll be sharing updates on how I’m working for #SacramentoCounty in Congress and fighting back against actions taken by the Trump Administration.
Pre-register at bera.house.gov/upcoming-events and submit your questions.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 29th at 6 PM PT and join me for my Telephone Town Hall!

I’ll keep fighting to protect Medicaid and make sure every American gets the care they deserve.
As a doctor, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when patients can’t afford care. As a member of the Congressional Doctors Caucus, I’m bringing that experience to Congress and pushing back against these dangerous cuts.
Republicans in Congress have proposed slashing $880 billion from Medicaid. Let’s be clear: that would devastate families in Sacramento County and across America. These aren’t just numbers—they’re real people, real families and real lives at risk.
