I just joined Rep. Robin Kelly‘s articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem. Under her direction, DHS and ICE are creating chaos, and endangering lives in our communities with impunity. I’m fighting to restore accountability by leading commonsense bills like the No Masks For ICE Act.

I urge everyone who cares about social justice and freedom of religion to speak out against antisemitism, which is becoming endemic in our nation. We cannot meet this fraught moment with silence. I will not.

The attack on Beth Israel Congregation was an attack on the entire Jewish community, and on the ideals this country is supposed to stand for. I am praying for the congregants, for the Jackson Jewish community, and for all those impacted. www.jta.org/2026/01/11/u...

Everyone should be treated humanely and afforded the proper legal process. That’s what our laws and values demand. I’ll keep fighting for my constituents and for our Los Angeles community.

Here in California, we’ll gladly partner with the federal government to fight fraud and corruption. But instead of offering to work with CA, this administration seems determined to hurt California’s children. (2/2)

After months of people saying it couldn’t be done, we forced a vote and the House just passed our bill to extend ACA tax credits. This is what happens when you hold the line and fight like hell for hardworking families. See my full statement here:
