Happy Korean American Day! Today commemorates the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to America in 1903 and honors the culture and traditions of our Korean American community.

Our national security and military are not pawns to be played with so Trump can get his hands on Venezuelan oil. Last week, I joined my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues to call out this administration’s reckless pursuit of military intervention and regime change in Venezuela.

We cannot leave our Reserve and National Guard servicemembers with disruptions to their pay and benefits when their mission or job functions change. Rep. Bergman and I introduced legislation to fix that issue directly.
January 13, 2026 at 6:48 PM
Our servicemembers deserve equitable benefits and pay. I’m proud to have introduced the Duty Status Reform Act and looking forward to working with my colleagues to get this done.
House bill would reduce 30 reserve duty statuses to 4
The legislation seeks to simplify an overly burdensome system that lawmakers blame for major disparities in health care, pay and benefits.

It was great to meet with the San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, Three Valleys Municipal Water District, and Upper San Gabriel Water District to discuss the Golden Mussel control plan. Thank you for providing clean & sustainable water for our communities.

The current Reserve Component system is failing to meet the needs of our National Guard and Reserves servicemembers. I am proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep. Bergman that will directly address some of the current discrepancies and promote equity in member pay and benefits.

Today, I proudly voted yes on the clean bill to restore the ACA tax credits, because we need these cost-saving tax credits to give relief to the millions of Americans feeling crushed by the weight of healthcare costs. (1/2)

When I worked at the Pentagon, I learned the complexity of the current Reserve Component system and how it hurts our servicemembers and force readiness. (1/2)

Today, every member of the House will be given an opportunity to put party affiliation aside and put our constituents and the health of our communities first. (1/2)

@gabbygiffords.bsky.social is a friend and one of the fiercest, most resilient people I know. 15 years ago, she survived a horrific tragedy that took the lives of six other people. Now, her leadership and advocacy for gun safety inspire all of us. Gabby, it’s a privilege to fight beside you.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

A year after the devastating fires, our communities continue to rebuild as the battle for federal aid goes on. Thank you to the firefighters and emergency responders who protected our communities, and the residents and community leaders who stepped up to help their neighbors out.

Our Armed Forces deserve to keep their families together and feel safe in their communities. That’s why I introduced legislation that will protect military families from deportations and separations that harm our servicemembers and jeopardize mission readiness.

Small business concerns should be heard by the SBA Office of Advocacy, including on tariffs. A letter to Congress shared submissions on tariffs are not tracked. My bill to expand the Office of Advocacy’s hotline to receive and report information on tariffs ensures small business are not ignored.

I am deeply disturbed by the outrageously violent tactics that this Administration has used against our communities. Weaponizing ICE sows fear and incites chaos. I am monitoring the news from the horrific fatal shooting out of Minneapolis.

Trump is more concerned about foreign oil than about taking care of American families. As childcare cost continue to rise across the nation, this is just another hardship this administration is forcing upon the American people. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
Trump targets handful of blue states with $10 billion cut to child care funds
Officials in California, New York and other Democrat-controlled states are preparing to sue.

This was not a law enforcement operation like they have claimed. It was about grabbing oil and trying to get their hands on Venezuelan resources.

Happy Three Kings Day! I wish all those celebrating in CA-31 a wonderful and peaceful holiday. May the gifts of the three wise men bring you joy and prosperity.

5 years ago, we witnessed the most violent insurrection at the Capitol in modern history, perpetuated by the President’s senseless and disgraceful rhetoric. Our democracy must never be taken for granted & we must work everyday to keep our country safe and our democracy alive.

Senator Mark Kelly defended our country as a Captain in the U.S. Navy and is continuing to defend our country as a U.S. Senator.

The political retaliation from the Trump admin is cowardly and shameful.

I stand with our country and Senator Kelly. Don’t give up the ship.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) fired back at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his threat to demote the senator’s military rank on Monday following the Pentagon’s investigation, saying he “will fight this with everything I’ve got.”

I will never doubt the capabilities of our US military joint force. It is unmatched. But their capabilities are not what is in question.

My concern is the President saying the United States will run Venezuela and take their oil.
January 3, 2026 at 5:24 PM
The President has lost his mind.

There was no approval from Congress, let alone any notification. Maduro is an illegitimate leader, but what was the justification for kidnapping him and his wife?

Happy New Year, CA-31! May 2026 bring us hope, light, and peace in our communities. I hope everyone has a great time ringing in the new year. Stay safe and cheers to the new year.

As we close out the year, I am proud of all the work we have done to strengthen our district, bring our community together, and represent CA-31’s voice in Congress. From legislation to dollars brought back to the district, it was an honor to serve you and our San Gabriel Valley family in 2025.
