Republicans have launched a full-scale assault on the health care of everyday Americans. They have already made the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. [1/2]

Five Key Changes to ACA Marketplaces Amid Uncertainty Over Premium Tax Credit Enhancements | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Recent policy changes, most notably enhancements to premium tax credits to reduce enrollees’ health insurance premiums, have driven record-breaking enrollment gains and delivered reduced costs, simpli...

No student should ever have to choose between completing a degree and meeting basic survival needs. Centers like this demonstrate why investing in student success at the federal level is so critical to building a stronger, healthier, and more resilient future for Sacramento. [2/2]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 24(source)

The opening of Sacramento State's Basic Needs Center reflects not only the university’s commitment to its students but also the broader principle that access to higher education must go hand-in-hand with access to essential resources. [1/2]

Basic Needs Resource Center opens to provide students with free groceries and supplies

The new Basic Needs Resource Center celebrated its official opening, offering free groceries, including meat and fresh produce, toiletries, clothes and other necessities to students in need.

This is completely unacceptable. Sacramentans need to take notice. Nexstar is trying to double its footprint in our community. I’ll certainly be watching closely. [3/3]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 24(source)

It’s infuriating but hardly surprising that Sinclair will be putting its right-wing agenda ahead of the interests of its viewers. But it’s especially disappointing to see Nexstar put its pursuit of favor with the FCC on behalf of its multi-billion-dollar merger ahead of the First Amendment. [2/3]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 24(source)

I’ll be tuning into Jimmy Kimmel tonight and certainly hope he will be given the free rein he deserves. But millions of Americans won’t be able to because Sinclair and Nexstar have taken him off the air. [1/3]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 23(source)

That’s why I’ve demanded an inspector general investigation and why Congress must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act to end Trump’s censorship campaign and protect the First Amendment rights of every American. [3/3]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 23(source)

The sequence is unmistakable – government pressure, then suddenly a show critical of Trump disappears from local TV. When Donald Trump can weaponize the FCC to strong arm broadcasters and dictate what Americans see and hear, our democracy is under direct attack. [2/3]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 23(source)

Nexstar pulled Jimmy Kimmel off its stations just days after FCC Chair Carr threatened broadcasters – all while Nexstar’s multi-billion-dollar merger awaits FCC approval. Now they say they will continue to keep him off the air. [1/3]

Nexstar-owned ABC affiliates won't show Kimmel's return Tuesday, joining Sinclair in preempting program

Nexstar Media Group said it would join Sinclair's ABC-affiliate stations in preempting the return of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday.

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 23(source)

We are eight days away from the government shutting down and millions of Americans seeing their health insurance prices skyrocket. Donald Trump is driving the country towards a shutdown.

Trump cancels meeting with top Democrats on how to prevent a government shutdown

Trump said he won't meet with Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer unless they change their posture on funding. The deadline to avoid a shutdown is Sept. 30.

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 23(source)

President Trump and RFK Jr. are peddling full-on conspiracy theories and unproven pseudoscience. Listen to your doctors, not the nonsensical ramblings of a corrupt administration. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

With RFK Jr. behind him, Trump pushes unproven link between Tylenol and autism

Acetaminophen has been used for decades in Tylenol and many other over-the-counter medications as a pain and fever reliever during pregnancy.

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

We must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act to ensure that President Trump, or any President, cannot use the FCC to steamroll over the constitution and silence dissent. [4/4]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

After immense public outcry, Disney eventually reversed course—proof that the voices of Americans under the protection of the First Amendment are stronger than this administration’s disregard for the Constitution. But, this abuse of power can’t happen again. [3/4]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

But the Trump Administration doesn’t see it that way. They’ve twisted the Constitution into a one-way street that only protects them. That’s why President Trump, after years of threats, weaponized the FCC to pressure Disney into pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. [2/4]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

The First Amendment is crystal clear. In America, EVERYONE has the freedom to express their ideas, beliefs, and opinions. Our country was built on that principle. [1/4] www.cnbc.com/2025/09/22/d...

Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday

ABC had pulled Kimmel's show after he made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to President Donald Trump's MAGA movement.

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

Rolling back these standards will result in dirtier air, higher costs, and lost jobs. Climate denial cannot dictate policy. Our future is not for sale. [2/2]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 22(source)

The Trump Administration is trying to erase vehicle pollution standards and overturn proven climate science – all to pad the pockets of Trump's polluter friends. That’s why I led over 100 of my colleagues to demand the EPA reverse course. [1/2]

Democratic lawmakers urge Trump to drop plan to kill vehicle emission limits

More than 100 Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday urged the Trump administration to abandon plans to repeal vehicle emission rules.

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 20(source)

There is no debate. These vaccines are safe and effective. Silencing medical experts and pushing fringe theories is reckless and deadly. Talk to your doctor and protect your loved ones. [2/2]

Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialSep 20(source)

RFK’s handpicked panel of vaccine skeptics is putting lives in danger. They are restricting childhood vaccines and making it harder for adults under 65 to protect themselves from COVID. [1/2]

RFK Jr.'s vaccine panel weakens Covid shot recommendations, calling it an individual decision

The group also voted to emphasize that the Covid vaccine is beneficial for those at high risk of severe illness from the disease.
