Ron Cunningham did more than shape Sacramento’s arts scene. He created magic, brought people together, and touched generations of lives through dance. The arts enrich our lives and strengthen our communities, and Ron’s legacy will live on through those he mentored and the joy he brought to so many.
Second, it establishes a federal floor for safety and frees states up to do more when emerging harms show up in their communities and corporations fail to act responsibly. My amendment strengthens this bill by moving us away from loopholes and toward real, enforceable protections for children.[2/2]
This week, I introduced an amendment that does two common sense things to strengthen the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act. First, it fixes the bill’s weak knowledge standard, so companies can’t dodge responsibility by claiming they didn’t know the user was a child.[1/2]
Trump has plunged us into an illegal war in the Middle East based on "a feeling," and when asked if there is a threat to Americans here at home his response was, "I guess.' This deeply unserious leadership cannot continue to go unchecked. The world and the American people deserve better.
Yesterday, the SECURE Grid Act passed out of committee. I helped lead this effort because when the power goes out, it is not just inconvenient. It means spoiled food, closed businesses, dangerous heat, and real stress for families. [1/2]
Republicans just voted to give up one of Congress’ most basic duties: to check the President on war. Today’s failed War Powers vote was not leadership. It was surrender. The GOP majority bent the knee to Trump and put our Constitution, and our troops, at risk.
I am on my way to the House floor to vote YES on the Iran War Powers Resolution. Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran has already cost American lives. Congress must reassert its authority and stop this rogue administration from plunging us into another forever war in the Middle East.
My heart is with the family and loved ones of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan. Sacramento is holding them close as our community mourns together. May we honor his service and the profound sacrifice he made for his country.
All Americans should sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive lifesaving updates about travel safety from the Department of State while traveling abroad. My team is available if you or loved-one need assistance communicating with the Department of State. 916-498-5600
Any US Citizens in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel seeking evacuation should complete the Department of State crisis intake form. If you need assistance communicating with the Department of State, my team is available to assist you 916-498-5600.
This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who transformed barriers into blueprints — who organized, legislated, and persisted until this country grew closer to its promise. Their strength made our democracy more inclusive and more just. Our responsibility is to carry it forward.
Let me be clear: only Congress has the authority to declare war. When the House reconvenes, we will vote on a War Powers resolution to condemn this attack and reassert Congress’ constitutional role. I will support it.
The Japanese American community knows where this kind of bigotry leads. We have lived through it. And we will not allow it to take hold here. I stand with the Buddhist Church of Sacramento and every family who deserves to worship in peace. Sacramento will always be stronger than hate.
Japanese American Day of Remembrance, observed each February 19th, is when our community reflects on the damage caused by fear and racism—and recommits to ensuring that history never repeats itself. To see this hate surface on that day, in a beloved community space, is absolutely reprehensible.
First it was universities & social media companies. Then it was the press. Now AI companies. Trump has made it clear: no American institution or company is safe from government retaliation if it doesn’t fall in line. Anthropic said no to mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Look what happened.
Just had an incredible and productive meeting with Elk Grove officials. Their success is a testament to collaboration, thoughtfulness, and community-oriented results. That’s why Elk Grove continues to grow and be such a great place to live and raise families.
