It has been three years since Hamas launched its horrific terrorist attack on October 7, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 innocent people hostage.

Statement from 43 Members of Congress from California regarding Trump’s attacks on Los Angeles and San Diego:
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a hard-working man wrongfully killed by ICE agents at a traffic stop. His son Ronaldo Salgado sat down to share memories of his father and make it clear that this cannot continue happening. Oversight Dems will hold ICE accountable.
The projected costs for Trump's vanity projects in DC are soaring. While Americans struggle to get by in this Republican economy, Trump's blatant waste is staggering.
🚨Attention high school students! Interested in attending one of our nation’s service academies? My office is hosting a Service Academy Information Night this week! 📅 Wednesday, September 30 🕠 5:30 PM Pacific 📍 Ventura County Office of Education in Camarillo
Dolly Parton was a phenomenal musician, actor, songwriter, and performer, but her impact reached far beyond the stage.
Wishing a sweet and meaningful Rosh Hashanah to Jewish communities across Ventura County, the Conejo Valley, and around the world.
Today marks 25 years since the horrific acts of terrorism that forever changed our nation.
For generations, the labor movement has fought to strengthen the middle class, build a fairer economy, ensure access to healthcare and a secure retirement, and expand opportunities for working families across our country.
Each year, I have the privilege of nominating outstanding students from our community to represent our district at one of our nation’s five service academies.
Gloria Steinem was an American icon. When I was a congressional intern in college, the women’s rights movement was transforming our country, and Gloria was one of its most powerful and influential voices.
Donald Trump used the presidency to rake in BILLIONS. All while American families LOST money. House Democrats are focused on putting money back in people's pockets.
In 2024, FEMA approved more than $4 million for Los Angeles County to enhance fire protection infrastructure for up to 23,000 residents. Nearly two years later, the agency has yet to release this federal funding.
Alongside @padilla.senate.gov, @juliabrownley.house.gov, and @repbradsherman.bsky.social, I am urging FEMA to deliver this support without further delay — communities are at risk.
Families are already being crushed by rising prices. Because of Trump and Republicans, school supplies just got even MORE expensive. It’s outrageous.
Donald Trump promised to lower prices on Day One. He lied. More than a year into his second term, families are paying more for the essentials they need every day.
Our community mourns the loss of a remarkable patriot and true American hero. Len Zerlin, one of Ventura County’s last surviving World War II veterans, recently passed away at the age of 102.
Last year, Republicans cut over $1.5 trillion from Medicaid and Medicare to give billionaires a tax cut. Healthcare costs skyrocketed, 5 million Americans were forced to drop their coverage, and up to 10 million more are expected to lose Medicaid coverage by 2028.
Thanks to Trump, the back-to-school season is turning into a back-to-school bummer. You shouldn't have to pay the price for his failed policies.
Attention Ventura County residents! As this extreme heat pattern continues, the risk of fire remains an elevated and active threat to the region. I am monitoring the #HolserFire in Lake Piru, which is presently at 167 acres.
This Purple Heart Day, @housedemocrats.bsky.social pause to remember the service and sacrifice of the men and women who were wounded or gave their lives for our country. To every recipient and every family who stood beside them— your bravery will not be forgotten.
Rent, groceries, gas— prices for everyday essentials continue to skyrocket. While veteran families struggle to make ends meet, the Republican-led "Taking Benefits From America's Veterans Act" would cut their earned disability compensation. I stand with the thousands of veterans who oppose H.R. 9237.
Republicans promised kids wouldn't lose a nickel of their SNAP benefits. Today, more than 1.5 million kids have been kicked off their benefits entirely.
Happy #805Day! Today, we celebrate the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant communities that shape Ventura County.
On this #InternDay, I want to recognize the interns in my DC and district offices for their passion, hard work, and commitment to public service.
When five-year-old Liam Ramos was detained by ICE while walking home from school, he was transferred to the Dilley Trailer Prison in Texas. Liam's unlawful detention brought national attention to the cruelty of Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Todd Blanche testified before Congress and made one thing clear: his loyalty remains with his friend and former client, Donald Trump. Even as Acting Attorney General, Blanche continues to act like Trump's personal defense attorney.
I unequivocally believe in Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state, and I am unwavering in my belief that Israel has the right to defend its people against hostile governments and proxy groups that seek its destruction.
BREAKING: TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS HAVE KICKED AT LEAST 1.5 MILLION KIDS OFF SNAP https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-assistance/snap-tracker-people-are-losing-food-assistance-as-the-republican-megabill#_ftn1

A year ago today, the Trump administration unleashed on our community one of its most reckless and sweeping immigration enforcement operations to date.
