As a result of their short-sighted and illegal mass firings of the federal science workforce, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE put the public health of Americans, the safety of our communities, and our global competitiveness at risk. I co-sponsored 5 bills to halt the chaotic mass firings.

Instead of addressing the widening academic achievement gap, preventing school shootings, or making college more affordable – issues all families care about – the Trump Administration is choosing to steal from our children and their futures to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

THREAD 🧵 This week, while I was voting in Washington, my team went to a town hall in Sun Valley to hear from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about how debris from the recent wildfires will be handled and stored.

NTEU represents federal employees in 37 departments and offices. From serving veterans to researching cancer treatments, these workers show up every day to serve the American people. House Democrats and I are standing with them against DOGE and Elon Musk.

Happy #PiDay 🥧 As an electrical engineer and the only Latina with a STEM background in Congress, I hosted my first Pi Day on the Hill! I used to do host Pi Day every year in Sacramento, and I’m excited to bring this tradition to Washington, D.C.

House Republicans' funding bill fails to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from cuts that are being pushed by Elon Musk. I'm standing with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues in voting against their bill and protecting seniors and families across the country.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

Today, I reaffirmed my oath to the San Fernando Valley — the community that raised me and the community I am now honored to represent in Congress. Together, we will fight for a future we can all be proud of.

The extreme budget plan Republicans passed tonight shows us exactly where their values and priorities lie. In their rush to give out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, House Republicans failed to outline plans to protect Medicaid or lower the costs of living for working families.
