Public transit riders (myself included) are always looking to stay safe on our commutes.
This is why I'm leading a new bipartisan bill to ensure transit agencies can hire police officers.

Heartbroken to learn that two National Guard soldiers were shot earlier today. These were Americans who stepped up to serve, answering the call whenever they were needed. I’m praying for them, their families, and loved ones. Violence like this can never be tolerated.

🧵No one should feel like public transit is too dangerous to ride. That's why I'm leading new, bipartisan legislation with Rep. Malliotakis.
The Safe and Affordable Transit Act is commonsense — and it will help restore safety and confidence in our public transportation.

The lawmakers said that, while the policy was reversed, ‘this kind of reversal … raises urgent questions about how and why this policy was allowed to advance’

Appreciate @governor.ca.gov’s leadership keeping production and jobs in California. As Hollywood's representative in Congress, I’m working on a National Film Tax Credit to build on this success and help keep American production competitive globally while protecting our local economy.
NEW: @governor.ca.gov announced 17 TV series will FILM IN CA under the latest Tax Credit awards!
These projects bring $1.2B in economic activity — 5,165 jobs, 1,000 filming days, and $902M in in-state spending ($487M in wages). With the nation’s largest capped film incentive, CA leads.

Words cannot describe how appalling this is. The swastika is not just a “potentially divisive” symbol — it represents the systematic murder of six million Jews.
The noose is a symbol of the lynching of Black Americans used to instill fear and enforce white supremacy.

Thank you USO, for allowing me the honor of lending a hand to put together care kits for our brave service members.
This is just a small token of appreciation for those who protect us day in and day out. In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for the needs of service members and their families.

Standing beside Epstein survivors at tonight’s vigil, we got the news: the Senate will pass the Epstein files bill unanimously.
The truth is coming and the days of protecting those who committed these heinous crimes are over. Honored to stand with survivors and fight for long-overdue justice.
