I said it on Fox News today and I’ll say it again: I won’t rubber stamp a Republican agenda that rips healthcare from millions of Americans. If the bill coming from the Senate takes away your ability to see a doctor and afford your medications, I’m a no.

Great to spend time with the Burbank community the State of the City Address on Thursday! I couldn't be prouder of the city's leaders, especially Mayor Nikki Perez, who are doing great work to make Burbank a more prosperous and safe place to live, work, and raise a family. (1/2)

After unnecessary delays by Trump, I’m relieved that my and my colleagues’ constant advocacy has led to California families finally receiving the critical nutritional support they need.

A very important PSA: WIC is still open and available to help women and children under 5 years old during the government shutdown. I just toured one such WIC center in my district that is working to make sure those in need get support. (1/2)

This is just cruel. It will do nothing but cause confusion, delays, and in some cases danger for Americans traveling abroad.
SCOTUS just allowed Trump's anti-trans passport policy to go into effect while litigation proceeds.
This move is wrong and allowing it to take effect—even temporarily—puts trans, nonbinary, & intersex Americans travelling abroad at risk of harassment, discrimination, & violence.

Trump is determined to make Americans go hungry.
The President has always had the power to fully fund SNAP benefits in November. Now he’s being ordered to do so by tomorrow.
It’s cruel and heartless to withhold food assistance from Americans in need.

It’s been an incredible honor to work alongside Nancy Pelosi in Congress. I am so sad to see her stepping down, but grateful that I was able to learn from her over the last year. She’s achieved countless victories for the people of San Francisco, California, and our nation.

Last night, I joined our local Fox News station and said that no one wants Americans to go hungry, whether they're Democrats or Republicans.
But now that Trump says he's going to ignore a court order and continue using SNAP benefits as a political bargaining chip, I'm not so sure.
