House Republicans canceled today’s War Powers vote because they knew it could pass, just like it did in the Senate. As Memorial Day approaches, they are choosing to abandon one of Congress’s most solemn duties: deciding when and whether American service members are sent into harm’s way. 🧵

I’m heartbroken by the passing of my dear friend and former colleague Barney Frank.
I will miss his friendship, his candor, and his wisdom. My heart is with Jim, Barney’s loved ones, and all who were changed by his remarkable life.
Today I joined my colleagues in a moment of silence honoring the lives of Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad who lost their lives in the hate-driven attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego.
We must be resolute in condemning and rooting out Islamophobia and hate in all forms.
I voted HELL NO on the GOP cruel anti-trans bill. Instead of addressing the real crises in America’s schools, Republicans are targeting trans kids.
Imagine if, instead of cruelty, they put that energy into fixing teacher shortages, ending gun violence in schools, and investing in public education.
Today, I am once again voting to bring rightful war powers back to Congress and end this war. Donald Trump is lying to you; he has no plan. His illegal war is a complete failure, and we are no closer to ending his self-inflicted catastrophe.
Again and again, the Trump Administration's reckless choices leave us less safe or more broke.
It’s clear they have no coherent plan. Enough has been enough for weeks. Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority over war powers before this spirals even further.
While everyday Americans are emptying their pockets just to survive, he’s making sure his corrupt friends and insurrectionists get paid with YOUR money. When he says he doesn’t care about you, believe him.
No one should fear for their life in a place of worship. We must stand united against hate, while continuing the urgent work to prevent gun violence and keep deadly weapons out of dangerous hands.
The deadly mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego is heartbreaking. Innocent lives were taken in a place where families and neighbors gathered in faith, peace and community.
I am mourning with our Muslim neighbors and everyone carrying the pain of this tragedy. 🧵
Trump is blowing $13mil on poorly painting the bottom of the reflecting pool instead of saving you money, ending the war in Iran, or making sure you have healthcare.
Trump’s war in Iran is hurting everyone. From farmers to small business owners, working families are paying the price for a war Congress never authorized and the American people never asked for.
This war must end.
No transparency. No due process. Just cruelty.
We must tear ICE down.
Safe, accessible reproductive care must be protected. The right to make decisions about your own body is nonnegotiable.
SCOTUS’ decision to preserve access to mifepristone through telehealth and mail is a victory, albeit tenuous. Reproductive care is under direct attack across this country.
This ruling offers little reassurance from courts that have failed to fully protect women’s healthcare and bodily autonomy.🧵
The massive jump in wholesale inflation is fueled by Trump’s illegal tariffs and just as illegal war of choice in Iran. Americans will continue to pay even more as producers mark up prices to cover their bottom line. He doesn't care. Don't take my word for it. He said it himself in plain language.
And it's blatantly political, because our state refuses to bend the knee to this corrupt administration.
I will keep fighting with everything I have to protect and restore the healthcare millions of Californians depend on.
Over 14 million Californians rely on Medicaid - including millions of kids, seniors in nursing homes, people with disabilities, and hardworking families. This isn't fiscal responsibility - it's cruelty, especially after Republicans cut billions from MediCal in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. 🧵
Here in Sacramento, we know the value of public utilities like SMUD and as electricity demand grows, Congress has to make sure our power system keeps up without forcing families to pay more.
