Last night, Trump ordered a halt to all federal grant funding—taking money out of the pockets of families for essential food, housing, and disaster recovery assistance.
Why?
Because Trump's loyalty to his billionaire base must always come at the expense of the American people.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews and millions more murdered in the name of cruelty and hatred.
80 years after the end of World War II, we must ensure their stories live on, reminding us all of the cost of intolerance.
For over 8 years, Lt. Everett Alvarez Jr. was isolated and tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
His service embodies true strength and resilience. I worked with Rep. Jimmy Panetta to honor him with a Congressional Gold Medal.

This week marked the anniversary of two devastating mass shootings in CA—Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay.
Meanwhile, Trump closed the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, turning his back on families grieving unimaginable loss.
We owe them better.
🚨Covered California enrollment is still open for Californians––including DACA recipients––until January 31st!

In the middle of the night, Trump unlawfully fired a dozen Inspectors General across government agencies in a chilling purge to avoid all accountability.
The goal is blind loyalty over independence.
We can and must investigate. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
My office is monitoring the concerning progress of the #HughesFire closely as it develops.
If you are in the Santa Clarita area, sign up for alerts from local officials and be prepared with a plan to heed evacuation warnings.
Mandatory evacuations were issued Wednesday in the Castaic area due to the fast-spreading Hughes Fire.
Check out CAL FIRE's interactive map that shows the evacuation zones here: https://abc7.la/42qBlf4
Two years ago, tragedy struck Monterey Park when a gunman senselessly took 11 innocent lives during Lunar New Year celebrations.
Today, we mourn with the community, honor those lost, and remember Brandon Tsay’s heroic actions that prevented further heartbreak.
All Americans will feel the impacts of Trump’s radical anti-immigrant agenda – creating chaos and fear in communities across our country, while also driving up costs for businesses and consumers.
California is lucky to have some of the bravest first responders — over 16,500 from 12 states across the country –– working around the clock to protect communities from horrific fires in LA County.
To suggest otherwise is a slap in the face to their service and sacrifice.p
The Laken Riley Act will have unintended, far-reaching consequences–including requiring the detention of immigrant children accused of stealing a stick of gum.
It takes resources away from the detention of violent criminals and makes us all less safe.
Read my statement below:
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
Today, I’m reminded of these words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the hope they inspire.
Justice and equality remain within reach, and I’ll never stop fighting for both.
If Donald Trump wants to unite the country, he can start by assuring grief-stricken families in California that disaster aid will not be held hostage or used as a political bargaining chip.
We always stand together to help our communities recover—no strings attached.
From day one President Biden worked to pull us out of the pandemic, reached across the aisle to pass bills to bring good paying jobs back to the U.S., and took historic action to fight the climate crisis.
Our country was made better because of your service.
As the recovery and rebuilding begins in LA, one thing is clear: we’ve got a big fight ahead of us.
I am working across the aisle to secure additional federal support for disaster relief and to make us more resilient in the face of future crises. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
Families have lost loved ones, entire communities have burned, and Trump wants to leverage disaster aid for his own political gain. Shameful. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
My message to President-elect Trump: stop the partisan attacks and come visit Los Angeles.
Families are hurting and trying to rebuild their lives. The invitation stands to come tour the devastation and offer support to suffering families.
A heartfelt thank you to the incredible volunteers and supporters showing up for communities in need.
This is the spirit of the City of Angels. www.latimes.com/delos/story/...
If you’ve been impacted by the fires in LA County and need assistance with your insurance claims, join Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara’s upcoming insurance workshops for free resources, information, and guidance.

Just as Californians have supported communities across the country in their times of crisis, it is time for the country to unite behind California.
