Trump and Republicans cut federal Medicaid funding and let health care tax credits expire. Now, over 2 million Californians could be kicked off their coverage. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to protect Medicaid and make health care more affordable.

Trump administration is withholding more than $1B in Medicaid funds from California and Minnesota, in latest example of weaponizing real and imagined fraud

For six decades, politicians have blurred the distinction between protecting Medicaid from abuse and using abuse to discredit Medicaid itself.

On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, expanding access to healthcare for millions of Americans. These programs are lifelines for our communities, and House Democrats are fighting to protect them.

During my multiple visits to the Dilley children’s prison, I saw young kids who did not get access to adequate medical care, who were suffering anxiety and trauma from the detention, who received no real schooling and cold food.

Trump canceled over $7 BILLION for clean energy projects in states like California - just to punish Americans who didn’t vote for him. It’s an abuse of power and @housedemocrats.bsky.social will hold the Trump admin accountable.

Dental care is health care. No one should go without the care they need because they can't afford it. I introduced legislation with @repbarragan.bsky.social to expand dental coverage through CHIP, Medicaid, and Medicare because your health should never depend on your zip code or income.

Today, we remember and honor our dear friend, Congressman John Lewis. John was a civil rights icon and champion for the disenfranchised. He led the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and never let down the good fight throughout his time in Congress.

This is one of the most vile and disgusting things I’ve seen someone say on Fox — which is saying something. Every Republican, SecDef Hegseth, and Donald Trump need to condemn this filth. When your policies give license to this sexist, racist, violent language, you own the consequences.

Republicans want to stop states like California from efforts to reduce air pollution from trains. This would harm families in Wilmington, San Pedro, and the Harbor Area, in my district, who live near some of the busiest rail yards in the country.

In 2025, Trump collapsed the FDA. Staff was fired or resigned, including the food safety and surveillance section. Now, Americans are facing a parasite outbreak with a warning to beware of possible spread through fruit & greens consumption. It’s no time to gut public health. We must invest in it.

Joined the hardworking men and women of ILWU Local 56 at their monthly meeting in #SanPedro! This was a chance to hear from the members who are on the ground, tackling the hazmat cleanup after fires, oil spills, and other emergencies.
