I want to especially thank @chu.house.gov, @georgewhitesides.bsky.social , and Rep. Brad Sherman for getting all of us together. Their districts were among the hardest hit during the fires, and they have led on our path toward a full recovery. (4/4)

Americans are counting on Congress to work together when disasters strike — not play petty partisan games. (3/4)
Disaster aid should be nonpartisan, but House Republicans have repeatedly turned their backs on Americans who are asking for help — including by rejecting an amendment I made that would fully fund wildfire relief. (2/4)
Honored to stand with my fellow California Democratic colleagues to commemorate a year since the devastating LA wildfires, and to reiterate our demands for disaster aid. (1/4)
This bill is already on the fast track to becoming law and it’s been included in a bipartisan FEMA reform package. Speaker Johnson must bring this package to the floor now and ensure our families in need get the federal support they deserve. (3/3)
I introduced the bipartisan Don’t Penalize Victims Act to make sure private donations never count against federal disaster relief. (2/3)
One year ago today, our community was devastated by wildfires. In the aftermath, survivors turned to friends, neighbors, & even GoFundMe for help. But some lost their FEMA aid because of it. (1/3)
As always, please know that my office is here to help you with any federal agency you may be having issues with. You will never have to advocate for yourself alone.
I’ll also keep fighting for an honest and public accounting of what happened — before, during, and after the fire.
That means full analysis on the response, prevention efforts, and coordination breakdowns to make sure this never happens again.
I’ll continue fighting to make sure the Trump Admin and federal government steps up and delivers the wildfire relief our community deserves.
Greedy businesses shouldn’t be able to profit while Americans are struggling to rebuild. I’ve been advocating for my Stop Disaster Price Gouging Act to prevent exploitive price gouging when disaster strikes.
My bipartisan Don’t Penalize Victims Act will cut through FEMA bureaucracy and protect disaster victims from being punished just for accepting donations from their neighbors, churches, or charities. The best part? It’s on the fast track to becoming law.
One year later, I know that our community is still trying to heal. Here’s what I’ve been working on to make that path to rebuilding a little bit easier:
Today, we remember all of those who lost their lives, homes, and so much more in last year’s wildfires across L.A. In our darkest hour, Angelenos were able to lean on the kindness of our neighbors, families, and friends.
This is unconscionable and it should anger all American patriots.
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social remembers the oath he took to defend the Constitution. Clearly Secretary Hegseth has forgotten.

The President is threatening to drag us into new wars from Venezuela to Cuba to Mexico and even Greenland. I will work in every way I can to oppose wars fought for oil company profits, and to pass legislation to stop Trump from dragging us into endless unnecessary wars that risk American lives.
I am committed to protecting the rule of law and our democracy. (3/3
Today, we honor the incredible bravery of the officers who fought to defend the Capitol, and all those who stood by their oaths to our Constitution. Our great American experiment in democracy could have ended that very day without their actions. (2/3)
5 years ago today, our democracy was threatened when a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to override the Presidential election. (1/3)
bold strategy blaming the American people for not liking you. definitely no notes on that one.
