You WILL in fact find the droids you’re looking for, along with so many cool pieces of art that tell stories old and new.
I got an early look at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and while I can’t reveal much…
It’s un-American & despicable.
This is corruption. It’s how this administration has acted since day one: punishing states, businesses and ordinary Americans who push back on Trump.
It’s a major betrayal of our nation that will lead to higher energy prices and should be condemned by people of all political parties.
Change is overdue. That’s why I’m proud to champion the Raise the Wage Act, which would raise the federal minimum wage and allow more Americans to afford to live with dignity and security.
$7.25 an hour today buys less than $5 did back then. This is basic math. Full time jobs should cover rent, but billionaires (and one trillionaire) keep making life more expensive.
Think about everything that’s changed since then. Groceries and rent have gotten more expensive. Gas, childcare, healthcare — all of it up. EXCEPT for the amount of money a hardworking American brings home.
17 years. That’s how long American workers have now gone without a federal minimum wage increase. It's been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009 — the longest stretch without an increase since the minimum wage was created in 1938.
I thought this was supposed to be about DEI? 🤨

The Trump Administration has proven it can’t do that job, which is why it’s up to Members of Congress like me and AGs like AG Bonta to protect American consumers and workers.
Scrutinizing the Paramount Merger isn’t about singling out one company. This is about enforcing laws that make sure everyone plays fair and by the books.
I hear from worried constituents every day about this proposed mega-merger.
I take those concerns seriously, and have been demanding a robust and independent review based on the law. We’ve all seen what nonstop consolidation has done to our industry, to workers, and to our economy.
Thanks for the opportunity, VICA! And great to see my district neighbors @repbradsherman.bsky.social and @repluzrivas.bsky.social.
I appreciate VICA’s annual Congressional Breakfast. It's a chance to report back on what I've been fighting for in D.C. for our community and our local businesses.
Standing up to ICE raids. Pushing back on tariffs that hit local employers. And bringing film production back to American shores.
Young Angelenos struggle to afford rent, and overwhelmingly believe they will never be able to afford a home. That’s why bringing down housing costs means so much to me.
If we untangle the red tape around housing, we can give the next generation a better shot at the American dream.
58 years later, that movement is in 170+ countries with millions of athletes. Last year I got to meet with members of the Special Olympics' Southern California delegation in my D.C. office, and was inspired by the pride and joy of these dedicated athletes. (2/2)
On this day in 1968, the first Special Olympics were held at Soldier Field in Chicago. 1,000 athletes, most of whom had spent their whole lives being told to stay home and stay hidden, finally got on a world stage. (1/2)
Our democracy doesn’t work if TV licenses are yanked and journalists are silenced for reporting the truth.
That’s why I've been leading the charge to pry this administration’s unconstitutional claws off our airwaves and press.
Here's the part I like most: none of it disappears when the Games end, and the cost doesn’t fall on local taxpayers. This is infrastructure Angelenos will use for decades.
