I won't stop fighting to make sure that our hospitals and clinics have the support they need to take care of our children and communities.

CHLA performs miracles everyday right here in my district. These layoffs are heartbreaking for both the world class staff that work at CHLA, and the patients that come through their doors.
I just met with my Immigration Advisory Committee to discuss the real-world impact of Trump’s latest immigration plan.
What we’re seeing and hearing is deeply concerning. Here’s a quick update from our conversation. 🎥
The GOP’s Big, Bad Bill puts seniors in care centers like these at risk of losing their affordable and specialized healthcare. I’m fighting against these cuts to make sure our seniors receive the treatment they deserve.
I had the pleasure of visiting WelbeHealth’s care center in Pasadena, which serves numerous seniors from CA-30. The care they provide is all-inclusive, and gives seniors and their families peace of mind and dignity.
If you are a veteran experiencing delays or have questions about how to access your benefits, please don’t hesitate to call my office. We’re here for you.
Our veterans risked their lives for our country. We owe them easy access to the benefits they’ve earned. Trump can’t even do that, as his cuts to the VA are hurting our veterans.

I was there when #ICE immigration agents swarmed outside @governor.ca.gov Newsom’s public event earlier this month — armed, visible and sending a message.
This was not security. It was their latest intimidation tactic. (1/2)
The Cut Red Tape for Housing Act is a serious, bipartisan fix that I’m proud to lead with @RepChuckEdwards — and I’ll keep pushing for more solutions that help us build the housing we need.
Let’s get it done.
This isn’t about cutting corners — it’s about cutting delays that don’t make housing safer, just slower and more expensive.
My bill creates a narrow exemption from federal NEPA review for infill affordable housing developments that meet strict environmental and site criteria.
It’s a practical way to remove roadblocks while still protecting what matters.
Right now, even affordable housing that is smart infill in cities faces months or years of delay because of outdated federal red tape.
That means higher costs, stalled construction, and fewer homes when we need them most.
We need to get serious about making housing more affordable and getting it built faster.
That’s what my new bipartisan bill — the Cut Red Tape for Housing Act — is all about. 🧵
These victims were very clear about the link between our climate crisis and the terrible disaster they faced. I’ll never stop fighting to protect our communities from climate change.
Humbled to be able to join the People’s Hearing on Extreme Weather, where I got to hear directly from wildfire victims describing some of their darkest days.
This administration can try and deny climate change all it wants, but Californians are feeling the effect of it every day.
If ICE and related federal agencies are being used to intimidate us based on policy disagreements, that’s not enforcement — it’s political abuse. We won’t let it go unanswered.
Just led @padilla.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and 12 additional members of the California delegation demanding answers from DHS about the massive federal immigration presence during Governor Newsom’s public event on redistricting.
Investing in STEM programs helps America remain on the technological frontier, & I’m excited to see this grant in action at one of our own colleges!
I’ll never stop pushing back on Trump’s cuts to critical transit infrastructure, because our communities depend on these investments.
