When Democrats had the House majority, our first bill was getting big money out of politics.
Now, the Supreme Court just sided with Republicans to give billionaires and special interests even more say in our elections.

There have been at least 20 deaths in ICE custody in 2026 alone – and we know ICE is trying to cover up people’s deaths linked to time in detention by changing their policies and failing to report. We need answers, accountability, and justice.
It was great to welcome our CA-51 Congressional Art Competition winner, Nicole Yang, to the Capitol and see her piece, titled “Inherited Fear,” hung up alongside art from students across the country! Congratulations, Nicole!
It’s simply un-American to close our doors to people fleeing violence and natural disasters. This Supreme Court decision to allow DHS to end temporary protected status and turn away and deport asylum seekers is a disaster.
I will keep fighting for the rights, well-being, and safety of all women and girls – including trans women and girls – instead of pitting people against each other and manufacturing fear.
I’m so honored to receive the Champion for Children award from First Focus on Children! We need universal, high-quality child care and early education so all children can grow up safe, nourished, and healthy.
When @levin.house.gov and I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at Otay Mesa Detention Center last month, ICE blocked us from speaking to any people who are detained. But we won’t stop showing up to demand answers and accountability.
Trump’s Pentagon wants $1.5 trillion for stupid wars and billionaires get tax breaks but more than HALF of Americans can’t afford medical expenses and health care… what are we doing?!
We need to fix our national priorities ASAP.
It’s a daily struggle for so many families to find and afford child care during the summer.
We need universal child care so that families can get the care they need, not just during one season, but every day of the year.
Of course, JD Vance thinks Watergate was no big deal – that was child’s play compared to the levels of corruption and cover-ups with Trump and the Epstein Files!!
We weren’t being hysterical. We knew this would happen.
When Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill and cut funding for health care, they literally signed away millions of Americans’ ability to afford health insurance. And now it’s happening.
I’ve heard these rumors of insufficient and disrupted medical care too. I will keep showing up to Otay Mesa’s immigration detention center (both announced and unannounced) to get to the bottom of this.
It’s hard for anyone to afford living in San Diego – but it’s even harder for our military families. I’ve helped to expand access to child care and housing, but there’s a lot more we can do to ensure that our military families can make ends meet.
The Trump Administration just further gutted the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, where Jewish students previously reported instances of antisemitism. Another instance of making Jewish students less safe on campus.
ICE isn’t targeting criminals – they’re increasingly going after immigrant kids. Now, they’re trying to scare their lawyers and raid their offices. These brazen acts of intimidation won’t work.
Words aren't enough anymore – we need ACTION. The Trump Administration has leverage they refuse to use to prevent these atrocities. If they actually cared, they would support my Stand up for Sudan Act and cut off arms to the UAE, which is arming the RSF.
4 years after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, it's never been more clear: we must codify the right to abortion nationwide and fight back with a comprehensive strategy of our own.
Donald Trump is holding up bipartisan legislation to lower your housing costs because he wants to take your ability to vote away. He’s a tyrant – and Republicans shouldn’t let him get away with it.
Instead of addressing YOUR high costs, Donald Trump is spending hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars on building his White House ballroom. How thoughtful.
