I am excited to announce the date for this year's Veterans University, which will provide veterans and their families with the opportunity to learn about important information regarding health care, benefits access, and other resources.
My annual event, Veterans University is about bringing the community together & working to get veterans what they need, deserve, and earned. I am steadfast in fighting to make sure Congress does right by our veterans and their families.
Thank you for your service, and it is my honor to serve you.

People are about to suffer astronomical increases in their health care costs, around $18K more a year, because Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits. This comes on top of the already rising costs driven by Trump’s tariff tax on the American people and their so-called Big Beautiful Bill.

Today, I spoke in committee against exemptions that could put tribal cultural sites and sacred lands in danger. I am committed to respecting tribal sovereignty, protecting tribal history, and making sure tribal communities are included in every permitting decision.

I’m saddened to hear about the two National Guardsmen shot today in Washington, DC.
Our servicemembers make tremendous sacrifices to keep us safe, and my prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.
Violence is never the answer and has no place in our country.

Safe, reliable, and affordable energy isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity for everyone. That’s why, on the House Floor, I stood united against legislation that would only drive-up costs and make it harder for all of us to keep the lights on, cool our homes, and power our lives.

"This bill is a substantial giveaway to major oil and gas corporations, billionaires, executives – at the expense of working people, once again."
@repraulruizmd.bsky.social was clear: working families cannot afford Republican's reckless LNG scheme that will raise energy costs even more 👇

Reliable, high-speed internet isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s something we all need.
But for too long, many Tribal communities haven’t had dependable internet service.

Federal law still allows children to work long hours in dangerous farm conditions, protections far weaker than in any other industry. Children in farmworker communities deserve the same safety standards as every other child.

Our public health institutions, including the CDC, must be guided by science, not misinformation or anti-vaccine rhetoric that makes false claims and goes against decades of research.
These changes to the CDC website put lives at risk and undermine public trust.

Trump’s flip-flop on the Epstein files was a desperate last-minute attempt to save face and distract from the fact that he was about to lose the vote.
I voted YES to release all of the files so we can finally bring the truth to light and deliver long-overdue justice for the victims of these crimes.

Catching up with some good friends who’ve served our nation and continue to give back to our veteran community! The DAV Coachella Valley Chapter works hard to help veterans and their families get the benefits they’ve earned. I’m grateful to work alongside advocates like them.

From the very start of the shutdown, I have fought to reopen the government, protect health care, and lower costs for working people.
