I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Jewel Thais-Williams, the longtime owner of Jewel’s Catch One. Jewel opened the club in 1973—a difficult time for LGBTQI+ Americans.
Her legacy will live on through the welcoming space she created, especially for Black & Latino queer Angelenos.

As a lifelong thrifter, I was proud to join Rep. Malliotakis in launching the Recommerce Caucus ♻️🛍️
Buying secondhand is good for the fashionistas, the economy, AND the environment!
Together, we can reduce waste & empower buyers and sellers nationwide.
This is a necessary step to address the overwhelming humanitarian crisis and growing starvation in Gaza—which the Trump Administration has neglected to prioritize. I’ll continue to advocate for surging humanitarian aid, the return of the hostages, and an end to this horrific war. (🧵2/2)
I am heartened that additional humanitarian aid will soon flow into Gaza, where the situation has been increasingly dire for months, following my letter to Israeli Ambassador Leiter urging an end to the blockade on aid entering Gaza. (🧵1/2)
Trump está destruyendo el IRS y las familias trabajadoras de LA están sufriendo.
La oficina local del IRS pasó de tener 21 defensores del contribuyente a solo 3, retrasando reembolsos para angelenos, y negocios que necesitan ayuda ya.
Problemas con el IRS, contacte mi oficina.
Trump is breaking the IRS, and it’s hurting working families in LA.
Our local IRS office is down to 3 taxpayer advocates from 21 originally, causing refund delays when Angelenos and businesses need them most.
If you’re having trouble with the IRS, contact my office for help.
Yesterday, Trump fired 1,000+ State Department diplomats who were on the front lines of keeping the U.S. out of war.
These arbitrary firings are reckless. Our dedicated public servants deserve better from their country—and America will be a lot less safe without them.
Weed is legal in California. Maybe the people running the country should know that.
Sh*t that's not legal? Trump's ICE raids that lack due process.
Using AI slop and racist stereotypes to bully a sitting Member of Congress isn't quite illegal—but it sure is childish.
Incredibly grateful that all workers have been rescued from this tragedy thanks to the bravery of LAFD.
This is a powerful reminder of the courage our firefighters show day in and day out.
📱11 million reasons to couple up with CA-37🏝️💼
From passport drama to benefits battles, we’ve had your back.
In 2025 alone, our casework team has helped return $11 million to our constituents.
No bombshells. Just big results. ✨ #CaseworkIsCrackin

Today, we recognize Black Women’s Equal Pay Day.
For every dollar a white man earns, a Black woman earns just 66 cents.
That’s not just a wage gap—it’s a justice gap. We demand equal pay and economic justice for Black women and ALL women.
Rogue House Republicans are showing their true colors.
The hatred shown for people from backgrounds different than their own is racist, un-American, & insults the very constituents they swore an oath to represent.
Silence is complicity. Get your house in order, Speaker Johnson.
This is extortion. Trump is threatening tariffs on Brazil—a democratic ally—to tamper with their own judicial process on behalf of his political ally who is being tried for plotting a coup.
Trump is showing his hand: he’s on the side of authoritarians, not democracy.
Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will not only kick 17 million Americans off of their health care. It also threatens women's access to prenatal care, cancer screenings, STI testing, & more by defunding Planned Parenthood.
Yesterday, a court blocked this devastating provision. Let's keep fighting back.
It's not immigration enforcement—it's looking for a viral moment at the expense of people's lives and safety. (🧵2/2)
Trump's sad reality show just won't end.
After increasing ICE's budget to over $170B, Trump sent masked agents equipped with armored vehicles & military-grade weapons to terrorize Angelenos in MacArthur Park. (🧵1/2)
Trump and Republicans just gave $1 trillion in tax giveaways to the top 1%.
Now, they're withholding funding from our schools—including over $120M from @laschools.bsky.social—decimating educational & after-school programs that working families rely on. Trump must disburse this funding NOW.
The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. https://trib.al/CIBxpaX
Trump's birthright citizenship executive order? Trump knows that sh*t ain't legal.
That's why his lawyers didn't ask the Supreme Court to rule on whether it's constitutional (it's not). @katiephang.bsky.social helped me break down SCOTUS' recent decision.
Republicans just voted to cut Medicaid by $1 TRILLION over the next 10 years.
This bill won't just kick millions of Americans in need off of their health care.
It also jeopardizes our public safety. Read my op-ed in @thehill.com:
Enrique is one of many hardworking, law-abiding individuals ripped from their community by Trump’s ICE under the false guise of going after criminals.
This must end. I’ll fight tirelessly to bring Enrique and others kidnapped by this unlawful, unjust administration home.
