I’ll continue fighting to make sure the Trump Admin and federal government steps up and delivers the wildfire relief our community deserves.

Greedy businesses shouldn’t be able to profit while Americans are struggling to rebuild. I’ve been advocating for my Stop Disaster Price Gouging Act to prevent exploitive price gouging when disaster strikes.
My bipartisan Don’t Penalize Victims Act will cut through FEMA bureaucracy and protect disaster victims from being punished just for accepting donations from their neighbors, churches, or charities. The best part? It’s on the fast track to becoming law.
One year later, I know that our community is still trying to heal. Here’s what I’ve been working on to make that path to rebuilding a little bit easier:
Today, we remember all of those who lost their lives, homes, and so much more in last year’s wildfires across L.A. In our darkest hour, Angelenos were able to lean on the kindness of our neighbors, families, and friends.
This is unconscionable and it should anger all American patriots.
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social remembers the oath he took to defend the Constitution. Clearly Secretary Hegseth has forgotten.

The President is threatening to drag us into new wars from Venezuela to Cuba to Mexico and even Greenland. I will work in every way I can to oppose wars fought for oil company profits, and to pass legislation to stop Trump from dragging us into endless unnecessary wars that risk American lives.
I am committed to protecting the rule of law and our democracy. (3/3
Today, we honor the incredible bravery of the officers who fought to defend the Capitol, and all those who stood by their oaths to our Constitution. Our great American experiment in democracy could have ended that very day without their actions. (2/3)
5 years ago today, our democracy was threatened when a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to override the Presidential election. (1/3)
bold strategy blaming the American people for not liking you. definitely no notes on that one.
Very saddened to hear of Rep. LaMalfa’s passing today. We only spoke a few times, but he went out of his way to welcome me to Congress and help me.
Thinking of his wife, children, and friends during this difficult time.
Just yesterday, Trump admitted that oil drilling is dangerous, saying it “has killed a lot of people.”
Given that, why is he so intent on activating the same pipeline that devastated California’s beaches years ago? Doesn’t he care about Americans?
I’m committed to working with other members of Congress, including those in the Republican Party, to reassert our Congressional authority and ensure that the American people are not dragged into another costly, endless war that risks American lives and does nothing to protect our nation. (3/3)
Launching a war without Congressional authorization is unconstitutional. Trump has put our service members in the line of fire without providing a valid rationale, or a credible path to a positive resolution. (2/3)
Nicolás Maduro was a brutal dictator who has not respected the electoral will of his people. But that doesn’t justify Donald Trump bypassing Congress and launching a U.S. attack on Venezuela. We have seen no evidence that Maduro was planning to attack the U.S. or our interests. (1/3)
Our families deserve better than a President who champions a project which spilled thousands of gallons into our ocean, devastated jobs, and disrupted local economies. (2/2)
Reviving a leaky oil pipeline while tearing down clean energy projects is unconscionable. But it tracks for a President more interested in propping up the fossil fuel industry than protecting our precious coastline. (1/2)
Look out for the One Legacy float coming down Colorado Boulevard at the Rose Parade on January 1st!
It was an absolute honor to help decorate this work of art, especially because I was able to do it alongside One Legacy, an organization that helps save lives through eye, organ, and tissue donation.
In Congress, I’ve been fighting to protect your access to affordable healthcare so that patients like these aren’t abandoned. (2/2)
