When the Olympics & Paralympics come to town in 2028, our transit systems need to be ready to move all those spectators and athletes, and I’m proud to continue my work in securing federal investments for our public transit.
It was a pleasure to join representatives from Foothill Transit and Rose Bowl Stadium to tour one of the Transit system’s new zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered buses and the grounds of the beautiful Rose Bowl.
Proud to lead this fight from LA to DC with @repnikema.bsky.social, @chrispappasnh.bsky.social, @smith.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov, @ppfa.org — and 130+ cosponsors. We’re standing up for healthcare as a right.
The GOP’s Big, Bad Bill didn’t just target reproductive care — it blocked millions from affordable, basic healthcare. Our bill restores that — because no one should lose care over politics.
Today in West Hollywood, I joined @ppfa.org patients, & healthcare providers to introduce the Restoring Essential Healthcare Act — reversing the GOP’s ban on Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood.
Had an engaging and productive roundtable with the DGA Leadership Council today. We talked about what’s at stake with runaway production, and my legislative efforts to bring production back to LA and America. Grateful for our partners in the film industry for their insight and constant support.
Thankful for partners like Wesley Health Center for speaking up about the impact of the GOP’s Medicaid cuts, even in the face of Republican lies. Together, we’ll protect and expand affordable healthcare.
Preventative care, cancer screenings, and HIV prevention – those are the critical services at stake in our community. I’m not about to let those disappear without a fight.
On the first stop of my Neighborhood Healthcare Tour, I sat down with healthcare providers from Wesley Health Center who are rightfully terrified about how Trump & Republican’s $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts will affect the quality care they deliver to their patients every day.
I'm very sad to hear the news of the mass shooting at Fort Stewart, which has wounded 5 soldiers. I will keep the wounded service members and their families in my thoughts, and I am hoping for a speedy recovery.
Our communities need options to cut commute times, lower costs, and to make it easier to spend more time with family. That’s why I’m proud to co-sponsor the Stronger Communities Through Better Transit Act, which will help improve public transit and cut costs for riders in our communities.
Trump promised to root out criminals. In reality, his immigration tactics are snatching up legal, law-abiding residents and leaving them without any tools to ensure accountability.
Proud to announce that Glendale Community College has just received a $600K federal grant to support cutting edge STEM recruitment & education outreach.Investing in STEM programs helps America remain on the technological frontier, & I’m excited to see this grant in action at one of our own colleges!
Grateful to Senator Adam Schiff for leading this critical letter demanding urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza. There is more Israel and President Trump can and must do to protect civilians. Upholding our values must be a priority in every response.
Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held. Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. This cannot continue.
They’re not hiding it anymore. The Admin. is taking aim at Social Security — & now his own Treasury Secretary admits it. They’re aiming to dismantling Social Security behind closed doors. I won’t stop fighting to protect what millions of hardworking Americans have paid into for decades.
Now, Trump & the GOP have gutted Medicaid to the tune of $1 trillion in cuts — all to give tax breaks to billionaires. And their “Big Bad Bill” threatens Medicare funding as well.
