As Altadena continues the hard work of rebuilding from the devastating Eaton Fire, I’m working in Congress to ensure the community gets the federal aid they need to come back strong.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Proud to secure $935,000 in federal funding for a new engine for the Cambria Fire Department. Our first responders must have the resources they need to protect people in CA-19. I'll continue to make sure the federal government plays its part and invests in our safety!

I voted to release the full Epstein files because the American public deserves transparency and because most of all, the victims of Epstein's abuse deserve justice. As a former prosecutor, I believe we must hold perpetrators of abuse accountable and protect victims of sexual abuse.

Skyrocketing healthcare premiums are forcing working families in CA-19 to make hard choices about putting food on the table or paying for health insurance. Congress must work together to protect healthcare and lower costs for working families.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Rep. @raskin.house.gov has asked for a recorded vote on the Epstein Files bill.

That is occurring now.

Felon Trump rolls out the red carpet for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who ordered the brutal murder of journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.

My thoughts on this disgusting act of fawning & favor by Trump & how it demeans our standing on the global stage.

impeach!
My god. My god.
Oh fucking hell.
God.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

This Trump judge recognizes that Trump has destroyed the Department of Justice.
The federal court that struck down Texas' redistricting plan says the letter from a Trump DOJ appointee that kicked off the whole thing is "challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors. "

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.
