Education is the foundation of success in our country.
Donald Trump’s illegal efforts to eliminate the Department of Education threaten the futures of millions of students across America.
We must fight this overreach in court and invest in the futures of our students.

I remain committed to working closely with Jessica and other leaders to defend access to affordable, quality health care for all Californians.
With nearly 15 million Californians relying on Medi-Cal, these major cuts pose a significant threat to health care coverage for seniors, children and working families across our state.
I met yesterday with Covered California Executive Director Jessica Altman to discuss the serious consequences of proposed federal funding cuts, including Republican-led efforts to cut $880 billion from Medicaid.
I’m committed to protecting Medicaid and ensuring all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.
Medi-Cal and Medicaid provide care for nearly 80 million Americans, including newborns, working families and seniors in nursing homes. Cuts to this program would mean people lose access to the health care they need and face increased financial hardship.
Over 294,000 Medi-Cal recipients in #CA06 depend on this essential program for their health care, but the Republican budget plan puts their coverage at risk.

The Republican budget plan would cut over $800 billion from Medicaid.
I spoke with @fpwellman.bsky.social about how these cuts would take health care coverage away from millions of Americans.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Sacramento County! ☘️
The continued reckless and haphazard cuts by DOGE prove detrimental to U.S. influence and our ability to successfully counter China’s authoritarian narrative.
Just as Radio Free Europe successfully countered Soviet disinformation during the Cold War, RFA helps advance American values amidst our ongoing Great Power Competition with China and exposes egregious human rights abuses like the Uyghur genocide and Beijing’s covert activities abroad.
Radio Free Asia plays a vital role in countering China's influence by providing accurate and uncensored news to audiences facing relentless propaganda from the People's Republic of China.
"The cuts at Radio Free Asia are notable because they will effectively shut down one of the few tools the U.S. government has to combat Chinese propaganda and reach people living under authoritarian regimes across Asia" via @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Holi is a time for communities to gather together and celebrate the arrival of spring with festivities and lots of color. Happy Holi!
Rather than holding Republicans accountable for their reckless governance, Leader Schumer handed them a lifeline—validating their partisan strategy instead of using this moment as a point of leverage to demand accountability.
We were sent here to govern, not cave to Republican gamesmanship.
Today’s ruling is a win for thousands of hardworking federal employees who were unjustly fired from their jobs.
I will continue to support litigation efforts to challenge this administration’s unlawful actions in the courts.
House Dems are ready to pass a short-term, bipartisan CR to keep the government open & protect vital programs that #SacramentoCounty residents rely on.
Let's keep the lights on & then get back to the negotiating table to deliver a bipartisan agreement that meets the needs of the American people.
Firing nearly half of the staff at the Department of Education will have devastating consequences for students across the country—including right here in Sacramento County.
We must stand with educators, students and families to protect public education as a pillar of opportunity for all.
I just voted NO on the House GOP's partisan funding bill.
I will not support legislation that gives Elon Musk unchecked authority to gut critical services while hardworking Sacramento County families pay the price.
If Speaker Johnson wants Democratic votes, he must return to the negotiating table and work with us on a bipartisan funding bill that both parties can support.
