There’s no better way to spend a weekend than flipping pancakes with the Glendale Fire Department at Fire Service Day. I didn’t get into Congress for my pancake flipping skills – I’ve focused instead on getting the brave men and women of our fire department the resources they need to keep us safe.

Fraud is a scourge and stopping it should be a priority, but what Trump is doing won’t prevent fraud. This is his administration’s way of punishing Californians for standing up to his unpopular agenda. (1/2)
Trump officials hit California with ‘largest ever’ freeze on Medicaid funds

This week, Congressional Republicans could have spent their time working with us to help Americans afford groceries and pay their rent. Instead, they spent their time advancing a bill meant to demean trans youth. I voted no and urge them to focus on the real needs of Americans.

Good. No taxpayer money should be going towards Trump’s wasteful vanity project. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5882011-senate-parliamentarian-rejects-trump-white-house-ballroom-funding/
Senate parliamentarian rules against Trump’s White House ballroom funding in budget bill

Although the investigation is ongoing, it appears that this was a targeted anti-Islamic hate crime. Our community must come together to reject all forms of violence, hatred and intolerance. Today and all days we stand alongside our Islamic brothers & sisters.

This is heartbreaking. Violence has no place in our society, but is especially heinous when directed at places of worship and where children are present. My thoughts go out to the many victims and their families. May their memories be as a blessing. www.latimes.com/california/l...

I’m cosponsoring the Universal School Meals Program Act because I believe that the wealthiest country on Earth has no excuse for letting its children go without food. (2/2)

While President Trump wastes billions of taxpayer dollars on his war of choice, my fellow Democrats and I are working on a better vision of the future – one where no child goes hungry. (1/2)

While Americans are dealing with rising costs, Trump just created a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay off Jan. 6 rioters & his friends. He sued himself. He settled with himself. With no oversight. And you're paying for it. (1/2)

As long as this Administration attacks free speech, I’ll continue to stand up for our Constitution and a free press. Once again, I led lawmakers, veterans, and free speech activists at a rally in front of ABC Studios against Trump’s weaponization of the FCC. Read more here:

Our firefighters deserve a safe and seismically sound firehouse, and our community needs an emergency command center capable of dealing with modern emergencies. I secured a $500,000 federal investment to make both of those goals a reality for the aging Fire Station 8 in West Hollywood:

Cutting-edge tools can stop high speed crashes from harming innocent bystanders and drivers, but 94% of police pursuits end, often violently, without police having the opportunity to use safe termination technology. (1/2)
Police think this contraption can bring high-speed chases to an end
A pursuing vehicle pulls within 5 feet of a motorist, a button is pressed, and a net from the front bumper wraps around the back tires or axle of the fleeing vehicle.
