We can lower the risk and lower the bills at the same time.
Your insurance should be there when the worst happens, and I won’t stop until it is. wapo.st/4aECq5Y

And it is why my own Energy Bills Relief Act includes a grant program to harden the grid against wildfire risk, so we prevent the fires sparked by aging power lines and stop utilities from passing those costs straight to ratepayers.
That is why I support Adam Schiff’s INSURE Act, which would create a federal reinsurance program to bring premiums down, keep insurers in the market, and require them to actually cover wildfires and floods.
This is a bait and switch that leaves disaster survivors holding the bill while companies protect their profits.
We need to fight this on two fronts.
So insurers found a loophole, slipping these deductibles into loosely regulated surplus line policies sold to the very people who already couldn’t find coverage anywhere else. They were told to stop years ago.
They did it anyway.
sometimes 50 percent of a home’s coverage, more than $3.5 million in one case, that a family has to pay out of pocket before a wildfire claim gets a dime.
California law already bans this.
A fire is a fire, and the law says your home is covered no matter how it burns.
Californians, read this and get angry.
After many in our state lost everything in last year’s fires, insurance companies quietly buried “wildfire deductibles” in their policies.
Not the standard deductible.
A separate one,

Eighteen people have died in ICE custody in the first five months of this year. ICE is on pace to pass last year’s toll, which was already the highest in two decades. So what is ICE doing about it?
It is making the deaths harder to count.
Look at who Trump is choosing. His former criminal defense lawyer for Attorney General. A housing official with zero intelligence experience is set to run our spy agencies, picked mainly for his record of filing charges against the president’s critics.
Blanche and Pulte must not be confirmed.
Every rigged contract and every dropped case is paid for by families who follow the rules.
This is not about left or right.
It is about whether the same laws apply to everyone.
I will not look away, and neither should you.
I take no corporate PAC money and I do not trade individual stocks, because the day public office becomes a tool to enrich insiders, it stops being public service.
We are building a coalition to shut down the self-dealing, force real transparency, and make sure no one, in either party, gets to treat public office as a personal cash machine.
Here is why this matters to me, and why it should matter to you no matter how you vote.
This is exactly why I helped launch the End Corruption Caucus.
The fundraising contract actually allows the names and amounts to be hidden. When the powerful can buy contracts and buy their way out of accountability, in secret, that is not a healthy democracy. That is a pay to play scheme running out of the People’s House.
Investigations into some of the largest companies in the country, quietly easing away right as the money flowed in. Give to the President’s pet project, and your government problems have a way of disappearing.
And the White House still will not say how much each donor gave.
Of the 27 known corporate donors, 16 are facing federal enforcement actions that have since been suspended, dropped, or scaled back under this administration. Antitrust reviews. Labor cases.
The corporations bankrolling President Trump’s new $400 million White House ballroom have been handed more than $50 BILLION in new or expanded federal contracts in just the six months since they wrote those checks.
It gets worse.
We will either end corruption or corruption will be the end of us.
Look at what the watchdogs just found.
The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them.
Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick
You can make risk disappear on paper.
The cancer does not disappear.
The birth defects do not disappear.
The infertility does not disappear.
The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear.
