My bipartisan Don’t Penalize Victims Act prevents disaster victims from being penalized by FEMA from accepting charity from friends or neighbors, and it’s making its way through Congress.

Disasters don’t discriminate by party affiliation; but Trump does.
I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or unaffiliated. When Americans need help after a disaster, our government’s only question should be: “How can we help?”
This Republican Congress created a massive nutrtion gap with their One Big, Ugly Bill. I refuse to let our children go hungry, which is why I’m supporting the Universal School Meals Program Act, which makes sure that every child gets 3 square meals a day while they learn.
In the wealthiest nation on Earth, the only thing children should be concerned about is how well they can do in school, not where their next meal is coming from.
Sec. Rollins called less SNAP participation a “celebration of work and the dignity of work.”
What we’re seeing is none of those things. It is a moral failure.
Rollins uses words like “moved” or “lifted” to describe how 4 million people have now been pushed off of SNAP. In reality, the only thing this administration lifted is the rate of hunger – which is at a level we haven’t seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last month, Trump’s head of the USDA Sec. Rollins told senators “no one was kicked off” nutrition assistance. The fact is this: 156,440 kids in California will go hungry because of this administration’s cruelty.
It’s that time of year again!
Best wishes to all the parents gathering school supplies and finalizing pick-up plans for their student scholars. Have a great school year!
The best part? Taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill. Read more in the San Fernando Sun ⬆️
I just secured a massive federal investment for Glendale Police Department’s Real Time Intelligence Center ahead of the Olympics, so that our law enforcement can continue to keep our communities safe when millions of visitors come to town in 2028.
$3,160,000 lost and 46,000 fewer customers buying things and supporting our local economy.
That’s the price that our local businesses have had to pay for ICE’s unconscionable and inhumane actions. I’m fighting to put a stop to this chaos and an end to the so-called Operation Metro Surge.
That’s on top of already pushing thousands of my constituents off their healthcare & making them pay more to see the doctor. (2/2)
$4,800 could be better spent saving for college or towards a down payment on a house. Instead, Trump is forcing us to pay for his war of choice with Iran with no end in sight. (1/2)
If you ever feel down about the state of our country, just talk to young people.
I had the pleasure of meeting with ANCA Western Region interns to discuss how to turn their passion into action and change. Our youth are inspirational, and determined to make a positive difference.
Today we honor & remember our brave service members who were wounded or killed in action.
Without their incredible sacrifice, we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today.
All because Trump and House Republicans are prioritizing billionaires over YOU.
I’m working tirelessly to reverse these cuts so families in my district can afford to see a doctor. (2/2)
Last year, I stood with patients, nurses, and hospitals to sound the alarm on how the One Big, Bad Bill would wreck my constituents’ lives.
Today, those warnings are real. More Americans than ever are now one medical emergency away from financial ruin. (1/2)
TPS applications, work authorizations, DACA renewals – if you’ve applied for any of these and haven’t heard back USCIS, call my office at (818) 524 – 4384. I will fight to get you the answers you deserve. (2/2)
The Trump Administration wants to make it impossible for my constituents to get answers from federal agencies, especially when it comes to immigration applications. That just makes us determined to work harder. (1/2)
As attacks on American’s ability to vote grow day by day, I remain committed to protecting one of our most fundamental rights.
