Earlier this year, I led the fight to claw back more than $19 million in previously frozen HIV/AID prevention grants – because the LA community knows all too well the cost of ignoring HIV/AIDS. (1/2)

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.

Grateful to join Union Station Homeless Services to help prepare meals for Angelenos who need a little extra support this holiday season.

I hopped on LAist to talk about my newest bipartisan bill that will make our public transit more safe – without fare increases or reductions in service.

This bill makes that real by:
1️⃣Hiring more transit officers
2️⃣Upgrading safety infrastructure
3️⃣Lifting the cost burden off local taxpayers
There's a reason it's already endorsed by the TWU and ATU.

🧵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.

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.

Months ago I grilled this FEMA Administrator on why 80% of Texans in crisis got silence instead of help. He had no answers.
The next FEMA head must have relevant expertise and treat the job seriously. Their performance is a matter of life or death.

Organizations like My Friend's Place offer a helping hand to young adults who need an extra boost to get housing or put food on the table. Unfortunately, the Trump administration is putting that vital aid in jeopardy. (1/2)

Here’s the bottom line: healthcare costs are going to skyrocket for hardworking Americans across the board. Many will not be able to afford it.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure that you won’t have to pay double or even triple for basic healthcare. (1/2)

I said it on Fox News today and I’ll say it again: I won’t rubber stamp a Republican agenda that rips healthcare from millions of Americans. If the bill coming from the Senate takes away your ability to see a doctor and afford your medications, I’m a no.
