I, alongside @sewell.house.gov, led 54 Democrats demanding answers on Trump’s $20B bailout of Argentina.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t prop up a foreign ally or enrich political friends while American farmers struggle and families can’t afford health care.

This shutdown is directly affecting healthcare. Without extending health care tax credits: 40,450 people in the 38th District — and 1 in 6 Californians — will see their premiums double.

We’re now in week three of this government shutdown, all because Republicans refuse to work with Democrats. Remember, they control the House, Senate, and White House — they could end this anytime.

My office has put together a guide on what’s affected and resources to help.

If even IKEA can’t keep prices down, you know these tariffs are a problem.

Families shouldn’t have to pay more for furniture because of Trump’s reckless trade policies.

63% of Americans say the best way to reduce the debt is to tax the rich.

Not by cutting Medicare.
Not by gutting Medicaid.

Making billionaires pay their fair share — that’s how we build an economy that works for everyone.

Our government is shut down bc Republicans refuse to deliver health care for Americans.

Meanwhile, a year of ACA tax credits for working families costs a fraction of Trump's $40B bailout of Argentina.

Aid for Argentina over Americans' health? How is that ‘America First’?

L.A. County’s state of emergency shows what’s at stake.

Our communities are terrified, families are being torn apart — all because of the Trump administration’s inhumane immigration raids. We must stand with our neighbors.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we not only celebrate Indigenous cultures and resilience — we recommit to honoring our promises to tribal nations. I’ll keep fighting for policies that uphold sovereignty, protect sacred lands, and ensure Indigenous voices are always heard.

Republicans cut $137 billion from rural health care. Now, they want credit for “fixing” the problem they created because they put a $50 billion Band-Aid on it.

They’re the arsonist and the firefighter.

Latinas work hard, contribute immensely, and yet still face a wage gap of 54¢ to every $1 a white man makes. On #LatinaEqualPayDay, I stand firm in the fight in advancing policies for equal pay.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social · 13d

On Latina Equal Pay Day, we’re reminded that pay inequity fuels the wealth gap. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social is committed to advancing policies that ensure Latinas earn what they deserve and build the wealth they’ve long been denied.

Ignoring the ongoing shutdown by claiming the work is finished is an insult to Americans who rely on government services.

House Republicans need to end their vacation, return to Washington and do their job.

Day 7 of the shutdown, and Republicans are still blaming Democrats.

Let's be clear: this shutdown is about protecting healthcare for Americans while Republicans are fighting to give handouts to their billionaire buddies.

The Trump administration is weaponizing the shutdown to steal Americans’ health care and deny federal workers their pay — Americans see through it.

Republicans control the White House, House and Senate. This shutdown is entirely due to their failed leadership.

But rather than calling Congress back into session so we can work on reopening the government, Speaker Johnson just canceled all votes next week.

This shutdown could have been prevented if Republicans worked with us to pass a realistic budget that protected Americans’ health care. Instead, they chose politics over people.

They’re the only ones to blame for this shutdown.
