Allow me to reintroduce myself—West Coast style.

I'm Sydney Kamlager-Dove. I'm fighting back against Trump—and I'm fighting *for* working families, immigrant communities, and our democracy.

Follow along for more.

Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly—Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill was about gutting your health care.

Trump has a history of stiffing workers. But furloughed workers are legally entitled to backpay.

I'll fight like hell to make sure our federal workers aren't ripped off by Trump’s shutdown.

Trump suggests not all furloughed workers will get back pay: 'It depends'

Trump also said at the White House that if the shutdown drags on several days longer, a "substantial" number of jobs "will never come back."

I’m devastated to learn that a member of our community was killed in an apartment fire in University Park yesterday.

My heart goes out to the friends and family of the victim. My office will continue to monitor the situation.

A fire at an apartment building in the University Park neighborhood in South Los Angeles left a person dead on Tuesday. The fire on the second floor of a building at 2353 S. Portland St. was knocke…

Democrats are standing up for the American people—because Republicans won’t.

Trump is trying to invade "blue states" with National Guard from other states. We just halted this authoritarian invasion through a federal court.

We are the UNITED States of America. States cannot invade each other. Our National Guard deserve better than to be used as props.

Today I joined @khanna.house.gov in calling on the State Department to secure the release of our California constituents on the Global Sumud Flotilla who were detained by Israel.

The Administration must act immediately to ensure the safety of U.S. citizens abroad.

Rep. Ro Khanna @khanna.house.gov · 1d

My California colleagues & I are calling for the release & safe return home of the US citizens that were on the Flotilla & are detained in Israel, including arranging the logistics of a plane to ensure their speedy recovery.

It's day 6 of the Republican Shutdown. Mike Johnson still refuses to bring us back to Washington.

Trump is defunding nutrition assistance for Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) during the shutdown, stripping 32,000 mamas & babies in CA-37 of this lifeline. It's just cruel.

Can confirm it’s true: a furloughed constituent of mine was told to set an out-of-office email blaming Democrats for the shutdown.

Republicans control the government. They caused this shutdown by refusing to work with Democrats—now they’re trying to dodge accountability.

Furloughed workers pushed to make out of office messages that blame Democrats for shutdown

Trump and Republicans shut down the federal government.

While I fight to reopen the government and protect your health care, my office remains ready to help during these uncertain times.

Mike Johnson is keeping Republicans on vacation during the government shutdown because he doesn't want to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social. Why?

She would be the final signature needed to release the Epstein Files.

Trump’s “armed conflict” claim is complete BS. Where is the proof that drug trafficking constitutes an armed attack & traffickers are unlawful combatants?

The Administration isn’t giving Congress any evidence because they can’t justify their own claims. This sh*t is NOT legal.

What kind of country do we live in if Trump’s goons can break and enter, destroy your home, and detain you for hours for no reason?

It’s sure as hell not a free one.

It's day four of the Trump Shutdown, and Republicans still refuse to negotiate with Democrats to save health care.

📺 Tune in to @msnbc.com today at 3:00PM ET/12:00PM PT to learn where we go from here.

It’s day three of the Republican Shutdown.

That means today’s magic number is three because Republicans control the White House, the House, and Senate. If they want to end the shutdown, that’s on them.

Russ Vought is illegally stealing money from Californians.

This was Trump and Republicans' plan all along: shut down the government to create an excuse to steal from the American people.

But the Constitution is on our side—we'll fight to get this money back.

It’s day two of the Trump government shutdown.

And today’s number is two — because if Trump and Republicans keep refusing to work with Democrats to protect health care, your Affordable Care Act premiums could double.

Still need proof a shutdown was always Trump’s plan?

Americans don’t want soaring health costs, lost jobs, or disrupted services.

For Trump, a shutdown is just an excuse to keep dismantling the government and gutting the programs people rely on.

It’s day one of the Trump government shutdown.

Trump and Republicans shut down the government to double your health care premiums. Pass it on.

I'm riding with @housedemocrats.bsky.social & the Congressional Black Caucus.

We're willing to go to the end for the American people to protect health care—because we're just as tired as Trump's BS as you.

As the Trump-Republican shutdown takes effect at midnight, I’ll be live with @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social , @meeks.house.gov, and @amo.house.gov to discuss how we got here—and what it means for our communities. Tune in.

American citizens aren't the enemy, and our cities aren't a "training ground" for troops. LA knows the terror that Trump's authoritarian tactics cause, and they could come to your city soon.

American cities & our troops deserve better than to be used as props for Trump's stunts.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."
