The genocide in Gaza demands moral clarity & decisive action.

As infants die of starvation, we cannot look away.

I joined @pressley.house.gov and @pettersen.house.gov in demanding Secretary Rubio facilitate an end to the Israeli blockade & ensure that food & baby formula enter Gaza immediately.

It is unconscionable for baby formula to be sitting at the border of Gaza as newborns & infants die of starvation.

Secretary Rubio must heed our calls to pressure Israel to surge humanitarian aid including ready to feed formula to families in Gaza.

Lives depend on it.

UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse.

This is a testament to our pressure.

I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
After Pressure from Pressley, Oversight Committee to Convene Closed-Door Roundtable with Survivors of Epstein’s Abuse (1/2) “If we are to hold powerful abusers to account, we must center the voices they tried to silence. This upcoming roundtable is a step toward the healing, accountability, and transparency survivors deserve. To the survivors who are stepping forward to share their stories and to those who continue to hold their stories close: thank you for your strength. I see you, your experiences are real, and I am so sorry for what you went through.” After Pressure from Pressley, Oversight Committee to Convene Closed-Door Roundtable with Survivors of Epstein’s Abuse (2/2) “I strongly encourage all of my Oversight colleagues to join this roundtable and provide the survivors the space to share their stories and be heard with the respect and dignity they deserve. But justice delayed is justice denied. I continue to demand a full and public Congressional hearing to ensure their testimony is documented in the Congressional Record and shared transparently with the public. And as the Oversight Committee continues its investigation, I continue to demand the release of the full, unredacted Epstein files with the names of survivors protected.”

The 13th detained person has died in ICE custody since Trump took office. This is what happens when immigrant incarceration becomes a profit-making entity instead of ensuring people’s health and safety.

The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.
Graphic with the text: 10 TRUMP ATTACKS ON KIDS 1. Made the largest SNAP (food stamps) cuts in history. 2. Limits school lunch for kids by imposing new red tape. 3. Reduces after-school and summer programs for poor kids by requiring extra paperwork. 4. Slashes the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for half of all kids. 5. Rips health care away by making it harder for parents to cover their kids through the Affordable Care Act. 6. Takes money away from public schools, meaning larger class sizes and fewer teachers per student. 7. Guts Head Start, which provides early childhood education, health, nutrition, and other services to low-income children. 8. Undermines public health and vaccines. 9. Freezes funds used to train teachers. 10. Shuts down parts of the Office of Civil Rights, which helps kids who get discriminated against in school.

California has the most number of swing districts, the most voters, and the most on the line. What happens here will decide who runs Congress in 2026.

Within 7 months, California has filed 37 lawsuits against Donald Trump’s avalanche of illegal actions.

But it’s no surprise that so many of them have been successful. As long as Trump keeps ignoring the rule of law, California will continue to fight against his recklessness.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about rigging the system to win.

He doesn’t care about lighting democracy on fire, bending the rules, and playing dirty to get what he wants.

This is an attack on our American rights, and California won’t stand for it.

Prices are going up. Job prospects are going down.

But don't worry – Donald Trump's got a $200 million ballroom for you.

The Border Patrol El Centro Sector employs five dedicated agents to make what are essentially ICE “fancams” for social media. But they’re not editing in CapCut like most people on TikTok 😳

Reporter @marinamasako.bsky.social shares five key takeaways from watching their social media videos.

This is terrifying. Find local organizations and see how you can help out. Foothill Unity is a great place to start.
