Thank you to the team at The Whole Child for the warm welcome and tour. It was great seeing firsthand how you’re helping children and families access the care, support, and resources they need every day.

President Trump isn’t serious about combating forced labor. He’s trying to make an end-run around the Supreme Court and Congress to reimpose his illegal tariffs.

The House has once again passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war in Iran. American servicemembers are losing their lives and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted while your gas and grocery prices skyrocket. It's time to end this unnecessary war.

Let's be clear: this isn't about fighting fraud. It's about targeting California and other blue states. Holding back Medicaid funding hurts seniors, children, people with disabilities, and working families. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/u...

Trump Officials Withhold $1 Billion in Medicaid Funds From 2 States

President Trump is completely unhinged. He’s escalating his trade war with Canada by threatening a 50% tariff while families are already struggling with high prices.   Americans need stability, not more chaos from a president desperate to distract from his declining poll numbers

My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the three servicemembers who lost their lives over the weekend. They made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, and we honor their courage, dedication, and commitment. We will never forget them.

President Trump is reviving long-debunked conspiracy theories as a pretext to interfere with the next election because he knows Republicans can’t defend their record.   It won’t work because we won’t let him.

The Trump Admin targeted blue states by freezing critical child care and social services funding. I led California House Democrats in calling on the administration to end this reckless attack. After repeated losses in court, they reversed the freeze. A win for families.

The Trump administration has rescinded its effort to freeze $10 billion in childcare and social assistance funding for five blue states – the latest setback in its push to withhold or cut federal funding to fight alleged fraud and to punish perceived opponents. https://cnn.it/4gE77Mx

President Trump's cruelty is getting people killed. ICE is out of control. Two people have been shot in the past week during ICE traffic stops. Neither was the target of enforcement. We need accountability. Stop the traffic stops, stop the roving patrols. Enough is enough.

As a mother, I’m heartbroken by the devastating loss of innocent lives and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. This cannot continue. 🧵👇

I introduced the Protecting American Homes from Hedge Funds Act to alongside @khanna.house.gov, @replindasanchez.bsky.social, and @repnikema.bsky.social to remove institutional investors from the single-family housing market and restore opportunities to everyday people.

My father, a baggage handler at SeaTac Airport, bought our family home in 1971 for $15,000. Today, that very same house would cost $526,000. Hedge funds and wealthy corporations continue to buy up single-family homes, kicking working-class Americans out of the housing market.

ICE is halting traffic stops after agents killed two people in a week who were not the targets of warrants: Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Two more lives lost due to ICE's recklessness. Their families deserve answers, and the public deserves accountability.

Breaking news: ICE has temporarily instructed officers to refrain from making traffic-stop arrests in most cases, according to people with knowledge of the directive, a policy shift spurred by recent fatal shootings involving officers firing into vehicles.

When storms hit or the lights go out, lineworkers are the first to answer the call.   Today, we recognize their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. I'm proud to lead a resolution designating July 10 as Lineworkers Appreciation Day.

Had the opportunity to visit the future YMCA Kolar Family Center and see how construction is coming along. It's exciting to watch this project take shape, and I know it will be a great resource for families across Southern California.

Happy to be at the groundbreaking for the new Smith Park Aquatic Center! 💧 This project is an investment for Pico Rivera and the families who will enjoy this space for generations. Excited to see the progress ahead!

Spain has been a steadfast U.S. ally for decades, hosting American troops and supporting NATO missions from Afghanistan to Kosovo. President Trump shouldn't be able to weaponize trade powers to retaliate against allies that refused to support his reckless war in Iran.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 4w ago

Trump once again called for an end to trade with Spain, citing its lack of support for the war in Iran.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of America’s enduring promise: that all people are created equal and deserve the opportunity to pursue their dreams. As we honor our nation’s founding, let’s recommit ourselves to building a more perfect union for generations to come. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Planning your Fourth of July? 🇺🇸 Here's a roundup of Independence Day celebrations happening throughout CA:38. I hope you and your family have a safe, fun, and memorable holiday!

Trade, supply chains and industries evolve, and our trade agreements should evolve with them. Today’s summit is a good sign that all three countries are ready to review and hopefully strengthen the agreement. 🧵 thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Birthright citizenship should never have been up for debate, despite President Trump’s attempt to rewrite the Constitution to serve his extremist agenda.

An independent Federal Reserve is essential to a strong economy. No president should be able to purge officials simply because they refuse to do his political bidding. apnews.com/article/supr...

Supreme Court says Fed’s Cook can keep her job for now, but it upholds other Trump firings

The Supreme Court says Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook can remain in her job for now, a rebuke to President Donald Trump’s bid to wrest control of the nation’s central bank.

This is a huge win for California and every state that believes YOUR vote should count.

Supreme Court allows late-arriving mail ballots, leaving California's system unaffected

The conservative Supreme Court has put thousands of Haitian and Syrian families at risk. Many have worked, paid taxes, and built lives here. They deserve stability and dignity, not fear and uncertainty.

Four years ago, the conservative Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping millions of women of a fundamental right. Your healthcare decisions belong to you — not politicians. I'll keep fighting until everyone has the freedom to make their own reproductive care choices.

Trump is holding our bipartisan housing affordability bill hostage over his voter fraud conspiracy theory. Working families need real relief, but the president is too busy throwing yet another temper tantrum.

The American people do not want another endless war. Both the House and Senate have voted to block President Trump from restarting his war in Iran.   The Constitution is clear: Only Congress, not the president, can declare war.

CNN@cnn.com · last mo.

The Senate adopted a resolution directing President Donald Trump to remove military forces from the conflict with Iran, a significant rebuke to the president and a strong message that the war lacks support in Congress. https://cnn.it/4agHI7N

Freedom is worth celebrating. Freedom is worth protecting. Freedom is worth fighting for. Juneteenth isn’t just about remembering our history and celebrating the promise we’ve made, it’s a call to continue the work. Happy Juneteenth!

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Jolin Zeng, who earned the Congressional Award Gold Medal, the highest honor Congress bestows on young people for service, personal development, and achievement. Congratulations, Jolin, and thank you for representing CA-38 so well!

Higher costs. More chaos. No accountability. The most corrupt Treasury Department in history has delivered failure after failure after failure and the people are paying the price. @replindasanchez.bsky.social:
