Last Friday, my daughter told me Taylor Swift released her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” so I figured I’d take you along to see the “Life of a (Shutdown) Congressman.”

Follow along for a day in my life as I meet with our community to hear how the shutdown has impacted the OC.

Air traffic controllers across the nation will soon miss their first paycheck because of the Republican shutdown. Many of these families live paycheck to paycheck. They can’t afford to be pawns in Republicans’ political games.

It’s time the GOP finished their vacations and reopened the government.

The threats from our adversaries do not stop because the federal government shuts down. Asking out service members to stand guard and protect us without pay is wrong.

I proudly joined my colleagues in demanding Speaker Johnson bring the House back and ensure our troops are paid.

Letitia James embarrassed Donald Trump, and now he’s using the full power of the federal government to attack her.

In September, I wrote a letter demanding an investigation into these clearly politically motivated attacks. We cannot allow Trump to weaponize the justice system like this.

This ceasefire deal is an essential step towards lasting peace.  

I’m deeply relieved that the hostages will soon be home and this war may be nearing an end.  

Now, we must surge aid into Gaza and begin to implement this plan for the safety and security of Palestinians and Israelis alike.

Didn’t find any House Republicans yesterday but did run into @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

Listen to @congressmin.bsky.social. We will not be distracted or intimidated from the continued pursuit of justice.

People are suffering every day with this government shutdown. Yet, the GOP refuses to do anything to help the 15 million Americans, including 30k members of our community, who stand to lose their health care. There are real consequences here. We must protect affordable health care in this country.

Over the last nine months, we have seen an unprecedented assault on our health care from Republicans and the Trump administration.

I want to hear how their attempts to rip away health care are affecting you. You can share your story with my team here: min.house.gov/services/sha...

One of these was an insurrection. The other is a peaceful protest. Guess which one Donald Trump decided to (illegally) deploy the National Guard to?

One week into a government shutdown, and Republicans still refuse to show up to work, or do anything to protect the health care of millions of Americans.

I didn’t come to Washington to play political games, I came to help Orange County. I’m here with one simple message— Let’s get back to work.

Today marks two years since the Hamas terrorist attack that stole 1,200 lives, and prompted Israel’s war in Gaza which has taken the lives of more than 65,000 Palestinians and displaced more than 2 million civilians. I mourn all those who have lost their lives and call for a swift end to this war.

I’m back in DC ready to fight to reopen the government and protect your health care. Unfortunately, the halls are empty because Republicans decided to give themselves another week of vacation rather than work for the American people.

I’ll keep working to protect Orange County.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Being a federal law enforcement agent does not give you an exemption from the law. The statute of limitations for assault under federal law is five years. This goon must be investigated and prosecuted.

Speaker Mike Johnson just cancelled votes next week, once again putting politics above the American people.

Instead of lowering health care costs for millions of Americans, Republicans are extending their vacations while premiums are about to soar.

Republicans shut down the government, creating chaos and causing OC families unnecessary stress. I’ve been hard at work calling organizations that serve our community to hear how the shutdown impacted their services and how we can help.

Even during a shutdown, I’m always fighting for the OC.

When people are navigating a shutdown, they turn to government websites for one thing—answers. NOT for partisan propaganda.

Like most of the Trump administration’s actions, the blatantly political misinformation from federal agencies is shameful, illegal, and a total waste of taxpayer dollars.

Trump administration says it will cut $8 billion for climate projects in blue states, including California's hydrogen hub

The latest step in Trump's Project 2025 is cancelling $7.5 billion in clean energy funds, including for a hydrogen hub in the OC. This is not only illegal, but will raise our energy prices.

Like so many of Trump’s decisions, this is both evil and stupid.
