Disaster victims are being punished for accepting help from their community.
Congress needs to pass my Don’t Penalize Victims Act, because when the next disaster strikes, the last thing victims should worry about losing their relief funds because of stupid rules & red tape.

This week, Americans are waking up to another economic whiplash thanks to Trump’s ongoing war of choice with Iran. The price for a gallon of gas is skyrocketing.
The Trump admin’s answer to rising costs? Minting gold coins with Trump’s face on them, and building more monuments to his ego.
Very excited to hear news of the legendary Cinerama Dome’s reopening. Cinema is so back!
In D.C., I’m hard at work on a national film tax credit so that we can show off homegrown talent at this local icon when it reopens.
pushing a budget that would hand $73 billion to Trump & Sec. Hegseth to continue their botched war of choice while they do NOTHING for YOU.
I’m a “hell no” on this budget, because so many Americans can’t survive another America Last budget. (3/3)
because House Republicans and Trump passed a budget that gutted your healthcare to pay for tax cuts to billionaires.
The worst part? House Republicans now have a sequel that’s just as bad; (2/3)
Ask any American if they are better off now than they were a year ago.
The sad reality is that for most, the answer is no.
Millions of Americans, including children, have been thrown off their healthcare and nutrition assistance, left to struggle and get sicker (1/3)
Those workers – from the craftspeople to the artists to the producers - are top of mind as I fight for a national film tax credit, because our nation can’t let this kind of talent leave our shores. (2/2)
My district is the center of American film and television production.
My constituents work on some of TV’s biggest shows and blockbuster movies. (1/2)

I’ll never stop fighting to make sure you can see the doctor without breaking the bank.
One year after Trump & House Republicans gutted Medicaid to the tune of $1 trillion and threatened to hollow out Medicare, 47,000 Americans in my district are seeing the cost of their healthcare rise beyond what they can afford. Another 41,453 are set to lose their healthcare entirely.
61 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law, ensuring that low-income individuals, families, seniors, and disabled people could get affordable access to healthcare.
AI should work FOR Americans, not replace them.
I confronted the White House’s Science & Tech advisor to ensure we’re prioritizing the protection of American jobs.
Listen to a snippet here:
Popsicles, airfare, and strawberries – nothing is safe from the rise in prices caused by Trump and Congressional Republicans’ recklessness.
House Democrats don’t think Americans should be experiencing summertime blues, and we’re working to help families enjoy – and afford – their summers.
This administration doesn’t care about actually fighting fraud.
Because if they did, they’d work with California, not punish innocent children and seniors. (2/2)
$2,000,000,000.
That’s how much victim repayment money Trump stole from fraud victims when he pardoned his fraudster friends. One of the thieves he pardoned was convicted in 2019 of a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, and the list goes on and on. (1/2)
I recently signed a discharge petition to force Congress to vote on the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act, which will finally give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship.
Enough of Trump’s cruel policies. Let’s get meaningful immigration reform passed now.
I’m leading the charge against this assault on free speech. Read more about my efforts above ⤴️
Trump’s FCC went after one of our local stations: ABC7.
This lawless administration wants to dictate what you can see on local TV, and they are violating the 1st Amendment to attack ABC7 just because they don’t like their coverage of Trump.
I raised these issues with the White House’s Science & Tech advisor to ensure this administration works with me to protect irreplaceable human talent. (2/2)
In Hollywood, AI is changing the landscape, threatening the livelihoods of writers, craftspeople, artists, and more.
If we don’t enact guardrails like the NO FAKES Act, we risk the amazing, original, human-created content that makes film and television so special. (1/2)
