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.

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.
I’ve taken on these Trump cuts once and won back nearly $20 million in lifesaving care for this district, and I’ll fight to do it again. (2/2)
Once again, the Trump Administration is axing lifesaving investments in healthcare and HIV prevention. He wants us sick and scared - but he forgets he’s messing with California. (1/2)
The bill will cut red tape around the refund application process & set a strict timeline for when Americans can expect to get their money back, because we simply cannot wait for this relief. (2/2)
I’m helping lead a bill to provide immediate relief for Americans who were forced to pay Trump’s illegal tariff taxes. (1/2)
He’s so close to getting it…
Now, the Trump Administration has a legal responsibility to provide relief for all of the small businesses and families they've fleeced. Trump: pay the people back! (2/2)
This is a major loss for the Trump Administration -- and a win for the American people and their pocketbooks. These tariffs were an illegal GOP tax on hardworking families. Today, the Supreme Court made that crystal clear. (1/2)
I joined the rest of my Jewish colleagues in the House to condemn Rep. Fine. His hatred has no place in Congress. (2/2)
Rep. Fine’s recent vile and Islamophobic comments are beyond the pale. His disgusting rhetoric does not reflect Jewish or American values, and are unbecoming of a representative of our diverse nation. (1/2)
In order to achieve a more perfect union, we must be willing to reckon with all parts of our history. If we don’t, we’re doomed to repeat it. (2/2)
We must never forget the Japanese Americans who were wrongfully imprisoned during World War II – no matter how hard the Trump Administration tries to sanitize our nation’s history. (1/2)
