Today marks 8 days since Republicans shut down the government because they refuse to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that protects health care and lowers costs.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue fighting on behalf of the American people.

Cuts to Medi-Cal in Trump’s Big Ugly Law put countless lives in danger, especially the seniors and people with disabilities who rely on in-home services.

I heard from in-home health workers about how these cuts could harm them and the people they care for. aguilar.house.gov/health-care-roundtable

There are only four days left until a Republican government shutdown.

House Democrats are ready to pass a bipartisan funding bill that protects health care for millions of Americans. It’s up to Republicans to decide if they’re willing to do what’s right and work with us to keep the government open.

Too many seniors are facing increasing costs that are making it harder to afford necessities and work towards retirement.

I met with the Golden Age Club in San Bernardino to talk about how Trump and Republicans’ policies are driving up health care costs for seniors and what I’m doing to fight back.

It was great to stop by San Bernardino Valley College! I got to see firsthand how the $1.5 million in federal funding I secured for their Clean Energy Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technician Program is setting up students for good-paying jobs of the future. aguilar.house.gov/rep-aguilar-...

While the cost of everyday goods skyrockets, Trump and Republicans are focused on giving billionaires tax breaks and throwing Americans off their health care.

Democrats will keep fighting back against these reckless Republican policies and continue working to make life better for working people.

Today I voted against Republicans’ partisan budget plan that cuts Americans’ health care and drives up costs for working families in the Inland Empire.

Working families in this country deserve access to quality, affordable health care.

House Democrats will not support a Republican funding bill that rips health care away from the American people.

Democrats are doing everything in our power to ensure the worst parts of the Big Ugly Law, like the massive cuts to health care, don’t become a reality for our constituents.

Right now, working families are struggling to make ends meet, and the rising cost of housing has become a significant burden for many people.

I recently visited the National CORE Metro View affordable housing development to highlight the importance of affordable housing in the Inland Empire.

It was great to stop by San Bernardino Valley College to see how their Clean Energy Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technician Program is teaching students about zero-emission vehicles and preparing them for careers in clean energy and technology right here in the Inland Empire.
