This has been a particularly difficult year for our transgender community. I am fighting alongside advocates to protect their civil rights and to push back against the onslaught of hatred and intolerance directed at trans people. (2/3)

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a solemn time to reflect on the lives of our transgender friends, neighbors, and loved ones cut short due to transphobia. (1/3)
Thank you USO, for allowing me the honor of lending a hand to put together care kits for our brave service members.
This is just a small token of appreciation for those who protect us day in and day out. In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for the needs of service members and their families.
Standing beside Epstein survivors at tonight’s vigil, we got the news: the Senate will pass the Epstein files bill unanimously.
The truth is coming and the days of protecting those who committed these heinous crimes are over. Honored to stand with survivors and fight for long-overdue justice.
The American people deserve transparency about the Epstein files, and the victims deserve accountability, regardless of what party they belong to. (2/2)
I was one of the first people to cosponsor the resolution to release the full Epstein Files, and I’m back in D.C. this week to vote to bring justice to the victims. I encourage my House Republican colleagues to do the same. (1/2)
Months ago I grilled this FEMA Administrator on why 80% of Texans in crisis got silence instead of help. He had no answers.
The next FEMA head must have relevant expertise and treat the job seriously. Their performance is a matter of life or death.
American Education Week starts now!
From my Education Advisory Committee to my work with local parents and teachers, you can count on me to fight for your children’s education.
Great to see the opening of a renovated Fremont Park!
I’ll continue to work to bring federal investments into our community to save local taxpayers money and make LA an even greater place to live, work, and raise a family.
People need cheaper groceries, affordable healthcare, and lower rents – now - not next year. (2/2)
As a mom, I get after my daughter when she procrastinates on doing her homework. So I find it completely unacceptable that President Trump is putting off working on one of the biggest crises facing Americans: affordability. (1/2)
I will continue to fight against this administration’s assault on our communities. (2/2)
Organizations like My Friend's Place offer a helping hand to young adults who need an extra boost to get housing or put food on the table. Unfortunately, the Trump administration is putting that vital aid in jeopardy. (1/2)
You deserve to see a doctor & get the medicine you need. (2/2)
Here’s the bottom line: healthcare costs are going to skyrocket for hardworking Americans across the board. Many will not be able to afford it.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure that you won’t have to pay double or even triple for basic healthcare. (1/2)
Citing increasing danger and confusion, even the FBI is asking ICE to stop wearing masks.
We need to pass the No Masks for ICE Act now.

I’ll keep working to support our local businesses and make sure they can thrive. (2/2)
Stopped by Dialog Cafe in West Hollywood to experience one of LA’s most dazzling small businesses. I had a great conversation with Tadeh, one of the owners, about Dialog's history and incredible presence in the community, and the pressures on small businesses caused by tariffs. (1/2)
I just left the floor of the House, where I refused to rubber-stamp the same Republican agenda that got us into this shutdown mess and created a healthcare crisis. My vote reflects my commitment to my constituents.
I won’t stop fighting until this nation treats healthcare as a human right.
Over the 43 days of this shutdown, House Republicans refused to negotiate or even show up in D.C., went out of their way to take food assistance away from millions of Americans to try to pressure Democrats, and made your healthcare more expensive to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
