Trump promised to fix inflation and tackle the affordability crisis. Instead, families are facing sticker shock everywhere they turn. His reckless economic policy is making everything from school supplies to groceries more expensive, and working families are paying the price.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act gives Sacramento new tools to build more homes and expand affordable housing. We fought to get it passed. Now we’re going to make sure Sacramento puts it to work.
Sacramento will benefit from federal 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, lawmakers say - Sacramento Business Journal
The new legislation cuts red tape in Washington, according to one local lawmaker.

For 80 years, the Buddhist Church of Sacramento Bazaar has brought generations of families, friends, and neighbors together to celebrate community, culture, and tradition. 🧵

Today marks 61 years since the Voting Rights Act became law, a landmark achievement that helped move our nation closer to the promise of a democracy where every voice is heard and every vote counts.🧵
Sacramento deserves local news that answers to Sacramento. From wildfire warnings and storm updates to what’s happening at City Hall, we rely on local broadcasters every day. The FCC’s vote will mean fewer independent voices and more control in the hands of the nation’s biggest station owners.
It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Phuong Luu, Sacramento County's new Public Health Officer. We discussed our shared commitment to prevention, health equity, and strengthening trust in public health. 🧵
Proud to partner with La Familia Counseling Center to bring another Passport Fair to our neighbors! Making essential services more accessible and convenient helps our community stay connected and prepared. Thank you to La Familia and everyone who helped make this event possible.
Thank you @mikethompson.house.gov and @bera.house.gov for joining me to celebrate the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act becoming law! Housing costs are squeezing Sacramento families. Now we need to fund this bipartisan law, hold HUD accountable, and deliver more affordable homes.
Thank you to my dear friends Erica Taylor and Keri Thomas for hosting such a meaningful conversation on women’s leadership. It was a great opportunity to discuss the importance of representation, mentorship, and making sure more women see themselves in positions of leadership.
Grateful to have joined RISE Women in Business and be reminded that success isn’t just about growing a business. It’s also about taking care of yourself. Mental health, strong boundaries, and a supportive community are essential to lasting leadership.
Thousands of our Haitian neighbors risk being sent back into harm’s way. In April, Democrats forced a vote to extend their protected status, and we won. The Senate must act now. Thank you to NorCal Resist, SacACT, the Sacramento Central Labor Council, and The Ring of Democracy for standing up.
It was great to join veterans & first responders at the California State Fair to recognize those who put service before self every day. They have made incredible sacrifices to keep our communities safe, and it was a privilege to spend time with them and thank them for all they do.
Proud to join Sutter Health as they cut the ribbon on their new primary care center in Elk Grove. Thanks to Sutter’s continued investment in our region, more families will have access to high-quality care closer to home. 🧵
I’m honored to recognize Robert “Bobby” Kaihe as my Veteran of the Month 🇺🇸 Bobby earned the Bronze Star for his courage in Vietnam and continues to serve our community as a Court Security Officer. Thank you, Bobby, for a lifetime of service. Our community is stronger because of you.
When you send your kid to school, a cyberattack shouldn’t be on your mind. But too many schools across America are experiencing attacks. I introduced bipartisan legislation to help schools protect student data and keep classrooms running. matsui.house.gov/media/press-...

The Dilley Family Detention Center is an inhumane prison. A place where children are confined, denied basic necessities, and subjected to dangerous conditions has no place in our country. I joined @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social in demanding DHS shut Dilley down immediately.
I had a great time joining everyone at the 52nd Annual Pear Fair in Courtland! This tradition celebrates the farmers, farmworkers, and families who make our region’s world-class agriculture possible.🧵
Reliable communications save lives. That's why I led California's congressional delegation in urging the FCC to reject AT&T's effort to eliminate landline service for nearly 200,000 California homes and businesses. 🧵
Sending billions to fund an illegal war is slap in the face to families struggling to get by every day. The American people deserve leaders who put the needs of everyday Americans first, not last.
A few months ago, my office teamed up with La Familia Counseling Center to host a passport fair. The response was incredible. So, we've teamed up to do it again! If you need passport services for you and your family, please sign up ASAP using the link below or scan the QR code! tinyurl.com/yakhp534
The House just passed yet another War Powers resolution to end Trump's illegal war with Iran. Now it's off to the Senate. Hopefully they've grown a spine.
This budget resolution sends a clear message. Trump first. Americans last.
Sacramento is one of the most diverse regions in America. Our healthcare system should reflect that diversity. The Health Equity and Accountability Act strengthens language access and culturally responsive care so every patient can understand their diagnosis and get the care they need.
More than 180 industrial facilities have been exempted from key Clean Air Act protections under this administration. Sacramento has fought too hard for cleaner air to let polluters get a free pass. That's why I introduced the No Passes for Polluters Act.
CMS's suspension of nearly $1 billion in Medicaid funding is a politically motivated attack on in-home care that seniors, people with disabilities, and their families rely on. Cutting Medicaid doesn't save money; it drives up costs by forcing patients into hospitals and long-term care facilities.
CMS suspends more than $1 billion in Medicaid dollars to Minnesota and California over suspected fraud
The deferrals are part of a nationwide crackdown on health fraud in government programs.

I'm focused on making life more affordable for the Sacramento region, not handing Pete Hegseth $1.5 trillion for a war Congress voted to end.🧵
John Lewis was a giant, a dear friend, and one of our nation’s greatest moral leaders. He devoted his life to confronting injustice and inspiring hope. Now more than ever, we must follow his example: “Stand up, speak out, and keep your eyes on the prize.”
Tonight, Donald Trump rambled through recycled lies about previous elections to try to undermine the next one. Now he's demanding Congress pass the SAVE America Act, a voter suppression bill written to shrink the electorate before November. [1/2]
