Honored to represent California's 44th District, #CA44. House Democrats Steering & Policy Co-Chair, Member of Energy and Commerce Committee, Progressive Caucus. Dodgers fan.
NO reforms, NO oversight, NO accountability = a NO vote from me on funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

We cannot turn a blind eye or support money for DHS as ICE racially profiles, physically assaults, and violates the rights of our neighbors and terrorizes our communities.

Republicans’ bill guts the Clean Air Act, which will increase asthma attacks, emergency room visits caused by breathing problems, and lower babies’ birth weight.

My amendment would stop this bill from taking effect until the EPA can be sure that Americans’ public health is protected.

Happy MLK Day! To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I joined the Polk Institute Foundation in #LongBeach to celebrate our exceptional BIPOC entrepreneurs who are helping startups and companies grow through innovative and sustainable practices.

Today, we reflect upon the words and actions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On the anniversary of his birthday, let’s recommit ourselves to the fight for the equality and dignity of our communities. Wishing you all a meaningful MLK Day.

Geraldo Lunas Campos may have been murdered. So disturbing.

Republicans’ excessive funding of ICE and DHS, along with Trump’s pardons and claims of absolute immunity, are literally killing people.

The Trump admin continues to take away access to STEM education from hundreds of students in my district, through its cuts to the Long Beach Public Library’s Youth SEED program.

“A piece of chicken, broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing”… Is this what USDA Sec. Rollins thinks is enough for a full, healthy meal?

Today, I asked FCC Chairman Carr a simple yes-or-no question: Do consumers deserve to know—before they sign up—if they’ll be hit with expensive early cancellation fees, often totaling hundreds of dollars?

It’s a simple question. He refused to say yes or no.

On this day, the first Korean American immigrants arrived to the US in 1903. Since then, they have enriched our country and #CA44 with their unique culture and various contributions and accomplishments.

Today, we celebrate our Korean American communities and wish them a happy Korean American Day!

17 Republicans just joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social to vote to extend the health care tax credits for 3 more years! Now, it goes over to the Senate.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. @gabbygiffords.bsky.social is a hero who makes our communities safer. Since the Tucson shooting 15 years ago, where six people were killed and Gabby and many others were injured, she has fought hard to make sure gun violence has no place in America.
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.

It’s been one year since the wildfires that devastated our LA communities. The fires took people’s homes, schools, and tragically, several lives. Today, we remember those we lost and honor the brave first responders who protected our communities.

This is the first step towards ensuring over 20 million Americans can continue to afford health care.

Now, Republicans need to vote with @housedemocrats.bsky.social TOMORROW to extend the tax credits — American lives are at stake.

ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis today. My thoughts are with her family and the Minneapolis community.

This agent must be held accountable. The head of ICE must be held accountable. Donald Trump and Stephen Miller must be held accountable and they need to end their terror tactics.

It’s been 5 years since the January 6th attack on the Capitol. On that day, Donald Trump incited rioters to storm the Capitol to stop the legitimate transfer of power. Today, @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov remember the brave officers who protected our democracy.

Congress is back in session THIS WEEK so @housedemocrats.bsky.social forced a vote to restore the tax credits that will help lower health care costs for millions of Americans.
January 6, 2026 at 3:50 PM
Families across the US are now forced to risk going without health care or paying thousands of dollars more just to afford coverage— all because Republicans let the tax credits expire that help keep health care premiums down.
