This is the Iran War Powers Resolution we absolutely need to vote on immediately. I cosponsored it last June because I was worried that this would happen.

I stand for the freedom of the Iranian people, and support their fight for the right to choose their own leaders. However, we are a country of laws, and no President is above the law or the Constitution.
We cannot allow President Trump to drag Americans into another endless war. That is why I have supported bipartisan legislation to end US involvement in Iran without Congressional authorization since June of 2025. We must vote on that legislation immediately.
Temple Emanu El is my temple.
It is a place that welcomes everyone, not just those of the Jewish faith, and seeing the desecration of its walls with swastikas is heartbreaking.
Read my full statement below:
There is not a penny from your pocketbook that Trump won’t trade to enrich himself. That’s why I’m fighting these tariffs and working on making things more affordable for Americans. (2/2)
$4 billion to President Trump and his family, while American families each had to pay $1,200 more last year because of his tariff tantrums. (1/2)
I've joined the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to check Trump's reckless power grabs, and stop him from dragging us into another ‘forever war’. (2/2)
The American people have made it abundantly clear: Trump must not initiate a war with Iran without explicit Congressional approval. The Constitution gives Congress, and Congress alone, war powers. (1/2)
Loved welcoming the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments to D.C. to discuss their work and ways we can work more closely together.
Partnerships like these are how we bring home investments to make our communities more affordable places to live, work, and raise a family.
Hours of ‘everything is great’ from the man who’s dismantling healthcare, handing tax cuts to billionaires, and making your life more expensive with illegal tariffs.
Trump has cut healthcare to pay for billionaire tax cuts, raised tariffs costing families thousands, and made our communities less safe.
This is time better spent.
I won’t be at the State of the Union tonight. I spent time before it started with some friends like @brotherjones.bsky.social, @fernandez.house.gov, and @mcbride.house.gov instead.
The President will bring bluster and BS tonight. The truth is that Americans know things aren't "great again" when they're struggling to pay rent or mortgages, and grocery prices climb.
I won’t be there to give him the audience he craves.

In case you’re wondering what I’m doing today…
Congress needs to pass a new Water Resources Development Act to ensure the affordability and resiliency of water resources projects across America.
At today’s hearing, T&I Dems will discuss their priorities for WRDA 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_sc...
I won't be attending tomorrow's State of the Union. Trump has cut healthcare to pay for billionaire tax cuts, raised tariffs costing families thousands of dollars a year, and made our communities less safe.
I refuse to dignify his actions and that record by giving him the audience he craves.
Hope you can make it! (2/2)
Excited to announce that I’m hosting a big Passport Fair on March 7th at Glendale Central Library!
Skip the long lines at other passport centers and get an stress-free experience on March 7th from 9 AM to 3 PM. Walk-ins are available, but I highly encourage you to schedule an appointment. (1/2)
If you are a U.S. citizen in Mexico, you may be affected by a shelter in place advisory if you are currently in one of the areas mentioned below. I wanted to share some helpful phone numbers and resources so that you can access the most up-to-date information and get assistance if you need it.
The Trump Administration spent an outrageous $30 million to deport 300 undocumented immigrants, but tell you they don’t have enough money to make your healthcare more affordable.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
This administration repeals, deletes, and denies science, but they can’t erase the fact that Americans feel the negative impacts of climate change every day.
I will always fight for a better and cleaner future for my constituents and their families.
