Veterans on the Central Coast and across the country rely on the VA for timely care. Eliminating up to 35,000 health care positions risks longer waits and fewer services. The VA should reverse course.

Great to sit down with Dr. Adriana Galván, who grew up in Santa Barbara and has become one of our nation’s leading voices on adolescent brain development. Her Central Coast roots and groundbreaking research make our community proud.

On this day in 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, a first step in the long fight for equality for Black Americans. We must never forget the horrors of slavery and must always reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.

Despite Donald Trump's promise to slash the cost of electricity, Americans have seen their bills soar by 11% since he took office. Families should not have to cut back on essentials just to keep the lights on.

As the holidays begin, Trump and Republican policies are pushing up prices on everything from gas to toys. 📈

They lied about lowering costs on "day 1" and now we’re all paying the price. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to make the economy work for everyone.

Donald Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs but their reckless agenda is making everything more expensive, even Thanksgiving dinner.

Under their watch, Thanksgiving costs are up 10% this year. Families on the Central Coast and across America deserve better.

Since Trump took office, GOP policies have added over $1,000 in extra costs to the average California family’s bills. That’s $1,000 out of your pocket because of Trump’s mismanagement of our economy, healthcare system, government, and more. Enough is enough.

Selling California’s coastline to Big Oil is a reckless and dangerous move. Trump’s plan puts delicate marine ecosystems at risk and threatens the public health of coastal communities across the West Coast – all so oil executives can line their pockets. I will fight this plan in every way possible.

Today we honor the memory of transgender people whose lives were lost through acts of violence and condemn the discrimination regularly faced by the community. We must keep speaking up for — and standing with — our transgender family members, friends, and neighbors.

Any deal that excludes Ukraine is both a gift to Putin and an injustice to the Ukrainian servicemembers and civilians who lost their lives during this war. Ukraine must have a seat at any negotiating table dealing with their own future.
US and Russian officials draft plan to end Ukraine war based on capitulation from Kyiv
It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

At a visit to the Bayer facility in Oxnard, I got to see firsthand how vegetable seeds are processed, packaged, and shipped across the country and around the world.

Great to sit down with ILWU Local 46, as well as Port of Hueneme and Oxnard district officials to talk about supporting our ports, longshoremen, and local economy. Investing in our ports is essential for the small businesses and communities that rely on them.

Today’s vote sends a clear message: the truth can’t be hidden forever. I just voted to require the Trump administration to release the full Epstein files.
House passes bill to force the release of the Epstein files, sending it to Senate
The overwhelming bipartisan vote comes after President Donald Trump reversed course and encouraged Republicans to support the measure he had previously opposed.

Every member of Congress must see this powerful PSA from the Epstein survivors. It’s long past time to release the files and bring his associates to justice.

Today I voted against the Republican funding bill because it will force millions of families to choose between higher health insurance costs or no coverage at all. I will not stand for that. I call on Republicans to undo the damage they're causing and pass a bipartisan ACA tax credit extension bill.

The American people deserve to know the truth about the Epstein files. The Administration should keep its promise and release those documents immediately.
