AI should work FOR Americans, not replace them.
I confronted the White House’s Science & Tech advisor to ensure we’re prioritizing the protection of American jobs.
Listen to a snippet here:
Popsicles, airfare, and strawberries – nothing is safe from the rise in prices caused by Trump and Congressional Republicans’ recklessness.
House Democrats don’t think Americans should be experiencing summertime blues, and we’re working to help families enjoy – and afford – their summers.
This administration doesn’t care about actually fighting fraud.
Because if they did, they’d work with California, not punish innocent children and seniors. (2/2)
$2,000,000,000.
That’s how much victim repayment money Trump stole from fraud victims when he pardoned his fraudster friends. One of the thieves he pardoned was convicted in 2019 of a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, and the list goes on and on. (1/2)
I recently signed a discharge petition to force Congress to vote on the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act, which will finally give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship.
Enough of Trump’s cruel policies. Let’s get meaningful immigration reform passed now.
I’m leading the charge against this assault on free speech. Read more about my efforts above ⤴️
Trump’s FCC went after one of our local stations: ABC7.
This lawless administration wants to dictate what you can see on local TV, and they are violating the 1st Amendment to attack ABC7 just because they don’t like their coverage of Trump.
I raised these issues with the White House’s Science & Tech advisor to ensure this administration works with me to protect irreplaceable human talent. (2/2)
In Hollywood, AI is changing the landscape, threatening the livelihoods of writers, craftspeople, artists, and more.
If we don’t enact guardrails like the NO FAKES Act, we risk the amazing, original, human-created content that makes film and television so special. (1/2)
In Congress, I’m committed to ensuring all of my constituents get the support they deserve. (2/2)
Today, I’m celebrating the 36th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
There is still so much work to ensure that all people, regardless of their abilities, are treated equally under the law. (1/2)
As a member of the Congressional Museum Caucus and a representative of many museums in my own district, I’m proud to support these centers of art and culture that allow Americans to explore and think deeply about the world around them.
I can say that fans of genre literature, art and popular culture are in for a treat when the doors open this September!
You WILL in fact find the droids you’re looking for, along with so many cool pieces of art that tell stories old and new.
I got an early look at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and while I can’t reveal much…
It’s un-American & despicable.
This is corruption. It’s how this administration has acted since day one: punishing states, businesses and ordinary Americans who push back on Trump.
It’s a major betrayal of our nation that will lead to higher energy prices and should be condemned by people of all political parties.
Change is overdue. That’s why I’m proud to champion the Raise the Wage Act, which would raise the federal minimum wage and allow more Americans to afford to live with dignity and security.
$7.25 an hour today buys less than $5 did back then. This is basic math. Full time jobs should cover rent, but billionaires (and one trillionaire) keep making life more expensive.
