Every year, my office is proud to host #ValentinesforVets with students from across California’s 26th Congressional District.

Forever a loyalist to Donald Trump, Pam Bondi continued her shameful pattern of deceit and deflection while testifying before Congress about her complete failure of leadership – particularly regarding the release of the Epstein files.

The blatantly racist video Donald Trump posted today is yet another example of his complete moral bankruptcy and total lack of human decency.

Recently, Pope Leo reminded the world of a question from the Gospel of Matthew that cuts to the heart of this moment: How did you treat the foreigner?

That question reaches beyond any one faith. It speaks to our shared humanity and our responsibility to act.

Today, every Democratic senator voted NO on adding $10 billion more to ICE’s budget.

I voted NO on funding for ICE and will continue to oppose any additional funding for an agency that operates with brutality, lawlessness, and impunity.

The Trump administration’s extreme abortion ban puts veterans at risk and prevents doctors from providing the care their patients need. House Democrats believe veterans deserve compassionate, comprehensive health care and honest conversations with their doctors — free from political interference.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we join people around the world in honoring the memory of the six million Jews and the millions of other innocent lives murdered during the Holocaust. We remember the families destroyed, the communities erased, and the humanity that was denied.

Greg Bovino has been removed as CBP’s “Commander-at-Large,” but that is not enough. Kristi Noem should be next.

What is happening in Minneapolis is an affront to core American values and must be condemned. In recent weeks, two individuals have been fatally shot by federal agents during these operations, sparking grief, protest, and widespread calls for accountability nationwide.
January 27, 2026 at 9:57 PM
Today’s news out of Minneapolis is another absolutely horrifying reminder of this administration’s lawlessness and lack of accountability. Once again, the excessive use of force by federal agents has resulted in the innocent loss of life on our streets.

As we reflect on 53 years since the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, and four years since it was overturned, we are reminded that the fight for reproductive freedom is neither abstract nor over.

Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Last week, he claimed “inflation is defeated.” Working families know that’s not true.

In fact, a new report from Joint Economic Committee shows California families paid $2,355 more in Trump’s first year in office because of inflation.

House Republicans are advancing Donald Trump’s anti-choice agenda by censoring medically accurate information, stigmatizing abortion care, and inserting politics and extremist ideology into the most personal health care decisions a person can make.

The American people have been clear: they expect Congress to uphold the rule of law and prevent reckless, unauthorized military engagements.

In Ventura County and the Conejo Valley, and communities across the nation, ICE operations have been marked by alarming lawlessness, excessive use of force, and a disturbing disregard for human life.

Today, the House passed the Veterans Law Judge Experience Act, a bill I authored to prioritize hiring experienced Veterans Law Judges.

Dr. King warned us that progress would be resisted, that justice would be delayed, and that power would try to silence truth. His words are more poignant than ever.

“Somewhere I read… that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”

Today, these words are not symbolic. They are a call to action.

Kristi Noem oversees lawlessness with blatant disregard for the Constitution and the basic rights of the people she is sworn to protect.

Ill-conceived, Republican-sponsored bills like the RECOVER Act, the BEACON Act, the Health Desert Reform Act, and the Data-Driven Suicide Prevention Act would siphon funding that could be invested at VA and redirect it to private providers to do work VA is already doing, (1/3)

Fifteen years after the Tucson shooting, Gabby Giffords returned to Congress as House Democrats advanced a bipartisan resolution honoring the lives lost and standing with survivors.

The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has protected over 50 million acres of national forests, safeguarding wildlife habitat, clean water, and access to outdoor recreation like hiking, hunting, and fishing.

Every year, I am eager to deliver for my constituents by fighting for the federal funding that is needed to keep our communities moving forward.

On January 1, Donald Trump and Republicans allowed Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, raising health care premiums for millions of Americans.

Serving our community and our country has been the honor of my lifetime. Every step of this journey has been shaped by the people I represent, by their resilience, their determination, and their belief that government can and should work for the common good.
