Labor Day honors every worker who keeps our communities running. As workers’ rights continue to be tested, we must remember those who came before us. Today is a tribute to their dignity, resilience, and the ongoing fight for fairness.

Labor Day honors every worker who keeps our communities running. As workers’ rights continue to be tested, we must remember those who came before us. Today is a tribute to their dignity, resilience, and the ongoing fight for fairness.
As we head into Labor Day weekend, President Trump is again attacking federal workers, issuing an executive order stripping them of their right to organize. I stand with AFGE and all my union brothers and sisters fighting to protect their rights. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Being LGBTQI+ isn't a disease, and it's not something that a licensed therapist should be trying to “fix” about young LGBTQI+ people. As an @equality.house.gov Vice Chair, I’m proud to join @housedemocrats.bsky.social in urging SCOTUS to uphold bans on conversion therapy for minors.
Kilmar Abrego García and his family are being punished because DHS won’t admit its mistake. Their cruelty is sickening. Our immigration system should protect families, not be weaponized to tear them apart to cover for the Trump administration’s failures.
Back-to-school shopping feeling more expensive this year? You're not imagining it. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, prices on school supplies are up across the board.
In our district, over 130,000 people rely on Social Security—it’s not just a benefit, it’s a lifeline. For seniors, people with disabilities, and families, it means dignity and stability. We must protect it, not play politics with it.
It’s been great connecting with folks across Southern California—especially while enjoying the summer weather, good company, and live music at La Mirada’s Concert Under the Stars and La Habra’s Concert at the Park.

The public comment period is open until August 13. This is your chance to speak out against a rule that would deny immigrants access to emergency care, vaccines & disease treatment. www.regulations.gov/commenton/AH...
Thanks to our letter with @repcasar.bsky.social, @repraulruizmd.bsky.social & 22 dem colleagues—and a suit by 21 AGs—HHS has paused their harmful proposed restriction of public benefits for immigrants. A win for public health & immigrant communities. We’ll keep fighting.
UCLA is a world-class research university that benefits all Americans. President Trump’s $1 billion extortion attempt is a direct assault on education, science, and innovation.
The Trump administration is gutting our disaster readiness to fuel its anti-immigrant agenda. Victims need FEMA. Not fewer workers. Not more deportations. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
As Americans, the right to vote is one generations have fought to protect. In times of uncertainty, we must remember its power and our duty to use it as we celebrate 60 years of the Voting Rights Act. To register to vote, click here: vote.gov
HIGHER prescription-drug prices for you, while billionaires get another tax cut – that’s why I voted NO on the new Republican budget law & why I’m co-sponsoring @replindasanchez.bsky.social’s bill to #TakeHisKeys & return tariff authority to Congress, where the Constitution says it belongs.
National Night Out shows the power of unity and community. In CA-38, every city reminded me what makes our neighborhoods strong—neighbors looking out for each other, celebrating safety, and standing together.
What happened to bringing back jobs, POTUS?
Working families could have used $847 a day for child care, groceries, or college savings. Instead, Republicans chose to give it to the wealthiest Americans. @replindasanchez.bsky.social:
In California alone, over 2.3M people are going to lose their health care next year all because Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits They say it’s “for the people.” But how does cutting tax credits help Americans afford care?
I’ve spent my life fighting for working families. I won’t stop now. I will keep pushing for policies that lifts people up, not ones that sell them out.
Don’t let their spin fool you. This bill isn’t “beautiful.” It’s brutal for seniors, for children, anyone who works hard or doesn’t have a lobbyist in their pocket.
Looking ahead in 2027: 🔹 The top 0.1% will pocket $847 a day from this bill. 🔹 If you make under $50,000 a year? You get $0.68 a day. Sixty-eight cents won’t fill your tank. It won’t feed your kids. It won’t replace what Republicans are cutting.
This bill slashes health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich: ❌ 17M Americans lose coverage ❌ $800B cut from Medicaid ❌ $500B in Medicare cuts ❌ Clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes at risk of closure
Republicans are calling it a win. But let’s look at what it really is—the most expensive bill in U.S. history. 💰 $3.4 trillion: Official cost 💰 $4.1 trillion: With interest 💰 $6 trillion: When the “temporary” breaks inevitably become permanent
As someone who’s spent my career fighting for working families, I have to be blunt: the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a disaster. 🧵 👇
Today, Republicans are on a “victory tour” in California, hoping we won’t see the golden handouts to billionaires in their Big Ugly Bill. I’m proud to be in Simi Valley to stand up for working families, because we deserve better than broken promises and rigged priorities. Tune in:
Republicans are going around the country trying to sell their Big Ugly Bill. But Americans aren't buying it. They know it guts health care access for 17M, slashes Medicare by $500B, and leaves families with crumbs. Let’s call it what it is: a betrayal of working Americans.
It’s been 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. $7.25/hour isn’t enough to make ends meet or support a family. That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the #RaiseTheWageAct to gradually raise it to $17/hour by 2030.
Republicans claimed they were slashing Medicare to fight “waste and fraud,” but those cuts stripped care from 17M Americans, triggered $500B in Medicare losses, AND ballooned the deficit by $3.4T. That’s not fixing the system. That’s breaking it.

The Social Security Admin flagged 6.3K legally present immigrants as “dead,” then made their Social Security numbers unverifiable, threatening their ability to work and support their families. I’m demanding answers and calling for their numbers to be immediately reinstated.

Republicans called it the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Non-partisan CBO calls it a $3.4 TRILLION debt bomb over 10 years. Can someone check their math? Because $1.1T in cuts to Americans' health and nutrition benefits will not balance anything.
Sanitation workers keep our streets clean, neighborhoods safe & our families healthy. But that job puts them at risk. Republic Services needs to bargain in good faith with Teamsters and negotiate a fair contract that respects workers’ dignity, safety & the vital role they have in our communities.

California schools are being gutted—programs slashed, staff laid off, student support cut—all because the Trump Admin froze $928M in critical school funding days before the year started. I'm proud to join my fellow CA Democrats demanding its release. Our kids shouldn’t pay the price.
As elected officials, it’s our duty to listen to constituents. I’m urging Mayor Vinatieri to help protect our community from ICE’s aggressive tactics. I’ve cosponsored legislation, conducted oversight & fought to block excess ICE funding. Time for the City of Whittier to stand up.
🚨Attention residents of Pico Rivera 🚨 The City of Pico Rivera wants to hear about your thoughts on the RoseWood Complete Corridor Vision Plan. The Mobility Forum will take place on Thursday, July 17 from 6 to 8 PM at the Pico Rivera Senior Center. RSVP: bit.ly/RoseWoodForum
Working families are footing the bill for Trump's tariff chaos. Rising Inflation means higher prices at the store and an extra $2,300 out of our pockets each year. Families can't afford this.
This is who Trump unleashed in our communities. The agent who brutally arrested a U.S. citizen in my district was arrested for assaulting a woman in a bathroom while armed. He resisted arrest, injuring an officer. I’m again demanding DHS hold its agents accountable. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...
Every time the power goes out, journeyman lineworkers show up—climbing poles, braving storms—to keep our lights on. I’m proud to lead a resolution designating July 10 as Lineworkers Appreciation Day in honor of their service and sacrifice.
A federal judge just blocked Trump’s cruel and unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship. This decision reinforces what the 14th Amendment makes clear: every child born on U.S. soil deserves equal protection under the law. We will not let fear and xenophobia rewrite the Constitution.
President Trump is weaponizing tariffs against Brazil to protect his political ally, Bolsonaro. Maybe Brazil’s investigation hit a little too close to home for a twice-impeached president who also tried to overturn a democratic election.
Trump missing his own July 9 deadline is just another episode in the TACO saga 🐔. Meanwhile, families are forced to pay more for medicine and groceries. It's time to end the tariffs. End the chaos. And bring back stability to our economy.
I met with El Rancho School District leaders after an alarming incident involving ICE agents on campus. Trespassing. Indecent exposure. We’re seeking answers from DHS & ICE because this behavior cannot go unchecked. Here’s my update ⬇️
My heart goes out to those impacted by the flooding and their families in Kerrville, Texas. Thank you to the first responders who are on-site, working tirelessly in the face of this unimaginable devastation. We stand with Kerrville as recovery begins.
🎆Happy Fourth of July to all celebrating! As you enjoy the parades and festivities, remember to stay alert, look out for one another, and have a safe, joyful day.
I stand with the El Rancho Unified School District in calling for a full investigation into this disturbing incident and demand accountability for the agents involved. Our communities deserve dignity and respect.
For weeks, the Trump administration has been terrorizing our neighborhoods with nonstop immigration raids. They’re harassing local businesses, intimidating residents and tearing families apart.
It’s outrageous the complete disregard ICE shows for our communities. Trespassing and urinating on school property is unacceptable under any circumstances, but doing so when children may be present is absolutely indefensible.
I spoke out against ripping health care from 17M Americans, cutting school lunches for hungry kids, and handing billions to ICE - an agency trampling on due process. All to give billionaires another tax cut. To my Republican colleagues: Have you no decency? No humanity?
The Big Ugly Ass Bill is just bad policy: 🚫2M+ across CA lose health care 🎓623K+ CA students lose their Pell grants 🍽️368K+ lose food assistance in CA-38th District This isn’t fiscal responsibility, it’s an attack on working families.
We're 4 hours into a "5-minute" vote. How much longer do Republicans need to decide if they want to take health care away from 17 million Americans to pay for tax cuts for billionaires? Or are they just hoping Americans stop paying attention?
Thank you @algreen.house.gov for the note! I was proud to join him in advancing consideration of the impeachment of President Trump. We are in this fight together, for justice, not a tyrannical rule.
We must keep fighting for justice, fairness, and common sense — not give in to cruelty and waste. The people deserve better than this bill. I will not stop fighting against it.
Republicans are gutting funding to protect clean air in our schools — and they're doing it during fire season! My amendment would’ve stopped them. California students deserve classrooms that don’t poison their lungs. Stripping that money is dangerous and shameful.
I also introduced an amendment to stop health care from getting ripped away from legal immigrants. They work, they pay in, they qualify for these credits and programs and yet are still get treated like second-class. Cutting health care access isn’t policy. It’s cruelty.
I introduced an amendment to make sure naturalized immigrant kids can get the Child Tax Credit. These kids are citizens. Denying them support isn’t just cruel, it’s un-American. I’m not backing down on this.
I offered an amendment to cut nearly $30B in new funding for ICE — an agency w/ a long record of abuse & zero accountability. ICE spending has tripled since 2003 & they want to triple it again. Instead of reform, Rs keep writing blank checks. My amendment was blocked, but the fight’s not over.
The Big Ugly Ass Bill has been brought back to the House for another vote, and I'm fighting like hell to stop the worst of it. 🧵👇
How are Republicans going to tell their constituents who worked tirelessly for their families that their health care will be cut just to give a tax break to billionaires, who frankly don’t need it.
Senate Republicans passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Health care for 17M people is going to be ripped away, just to further line the pockets of billionaires at the cost of working families.
Trump’s Big Ugly Ass Bill is reckless and dangerous for the American people. I’m not standing down in this fight. It’s not complicated; people’s lives are at stake. I’m voting no. wapo.st/44yyXlN
If you're born in the U.S., you're a U.S. citizen. Period.
Today marks 10 years since the Supreme Court's historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage across the United States! I'm proud to celebrate this landmark ruling with the @equality.house.gov today, and to fight every day for full equality! #EqualityDay
Cutting health care hurts us all. If Republicans pass their so-called Big Beautiful Bill kicking millions off Medicaid, patients will delay care until it's an emergency, ER wait times will skyrocket, people will die and insurance premiums will rise for everyone to cover the cost.
Today, I walked through Whittier and spoke with local business owners about the devastating toll that the ongoing immigration raids are taking on our community and local economy.
Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom and a reminder of the long road to justice. It calls on us to reflect, learn and keep pushing for a more equal future.
I've been in touch with the Martinez family. We have located their son and he has spoken with them. But we’re still seeking answers on why he’s being held and what legal authority justified the Trump administration’s raid in Pico Rivera yesterday.
The video of ICE violently detaining a young American citizen at the Walmart he works at in Pico Rivera is deeply disturbing. I’m demanding DHS provide answers about why he was arrested, why aggressive force was used and where they’re detaining him.
Today, @chu.house.gov, @repmarktakano.bsky.social, @kamlager-dove.house.gov, @repluzrivas.bsky.social & I demanded access to the notorious Adelanto ICE facility to conduct oversight. The conditions we saw inside and heard about from the immigrants were as disturbing as the raids in our communities.
I urge everyone to know their rights and to exercise them. If your rights have been violated, contact my office immediately.
Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...
The Trump administration's authoritarian tactics are a clear attempt to intimidate California. But we won’t be silent.
The Trump administration is trying to pull the wool over Americans’ eyes. Prices are rising on essentials, like clothing, groceries & home goods. Yale’s Budget Lab says families will pay $3,000 more a year unless Republicans work with us to end these tariffs.
Under questioning from @replindasanchez.bsky.social, Secretary Bessent just testified under oath to @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social that "we are in the midst of constructing" this "deal" with China. Very much at odds with what the Administration is saying elsewhere.
President Trump announced today that a China trade deal is "done". But Secretary Bessent just testified that they are still “in the midst of constructing” it. Hard to believe an administration talking out of both sides of its mouth.
Right-wing media focuses on the few bad actors, but LA protests, including last night's in my district, have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I urge everyone opposing ICE's raids to stay peaceful. Don’t give Trump fuel to incite more violence.
ICE is conducting raids in and around our district, including Norwalk & Whittier. Please stay safe. If you plan to protest, do so PEACEFULLY. The National Guard remains in LA and will respond to any escalation.
The Trump administration’s ICE raids serve no purpose other than to stoke fear and enforce a cruel and broken immigration system. I’m working with our local officials to determine if any of our district's residents were unlawfully detained. These inhumane raids must stop now.
Trump wants unrest so he can blame California. Do not give him what he wants. Speak out, protect our rights, but do it peacefully.
California is not assisting with Trump’s ICE raids. Our police are focused on keeping people safe, not tearing families apart. Trump’s move to take over our National Guard is to create unrest, not to respond to it.
President Trump is creating chaos in Los Angeles to justify force. This is not about public safety. It’s a show of power meant to scare immigrants and silence critics.
Estoy siguiendo de cerca las redadas de ICE en Los Ángeles. Recuerden: TODOS en Estados Unidos tienen derechos, sin importar su estatus migratorio. Conoce tus derechos y hazlos valer. lindasanchez.house.gov/KnowYourRights
I'm closely monitoring the ICE raids in LA. Reminder: EVERYONE in the United States has rights, no matter their immigration status. #KnowYourRights and assert them. lindasanchez.house.gov/KnowYourRights
ICE violently detaining and injuring labor leader David Huerta for exercising his constitutional rights is an attack not just on him, but on every worker and immigrant.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office is clear: American families are paying more as a result of the president’s disastrous tariffs. My Republican colleagues need to stand up and stop enabling President Trump’s tariff tantrums. www.cbo.gov/publication/...
Happy #Pride! 🏳️🌈 As a proud vice chair of the @equality.house.gov caucus, I stand with the LGBTQI+ community. I'm fighting everyday in Congress for a more equal future and pushing back against Republicans’ hateful attacks
Affording the commute to class shouldn’t be what keeps someone from earning their degree. I'm proud to work with Congresswoman McClellan to make college more accessible and affordable for all students. #529Day
The federal Court of International Trade was absolutely right to block Trump from using emergency powers to impose tariffs. Emergency powers are not a blank check for the president to bypass Congress. He cannot toss out new tariffs every time he gets mad at another country.
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the bravery of those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Today's tariff tantrum targeting the EU and Apple is just the latest example of why Trump can't be trusted with unchecked power. Republicans must stop enabling his chaos and pass my bill to end these reckless tariffs and reclaim our constitutional authority over trade.
Republicans aren’t just selling out the American Dream – they’re auctioning it off to the highest bidder. @replindasanchez.bsky.social:
House Republicans have lost their moral compass. While Americans are working harder than ever just to get by, they pushed through a #GOPTaxScam that offers no relief, only tax cuts for billionaires and more pain for families.
By one vote, Republicans just forced through the #GOPTaxScam. 14M will lose health care. Medicare is slashed. Student aid gutted. Food assistance ripped away from families. All to line the pockets of billionaires. The bill now heads to the Senate. This fight is not over!
Republicans are hiding this bill because they don’t want you to know the truth: ❌ Strips healthcare for 14M Americans ❌ Slashes $230B in nutrition aid ❌ Adds trillions to the debt ✅ Massive tax cuts to billionaires They’re putting the rich first and America last.
We still haven't received the final bill text, but Speaker Johnson wants a vote today. What we’ve seen so far is alarming. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms this bill takes resources from those with the least to reward those with the most.
While you were sleeping, Republicans were back at it, trying to sneak the #GOPTaxScam through a 1:00 am Rules Committee hearing. Democrats kept the hearing open all night, fighting a bill that lines billionaires’ pockets and sells out working families.
I stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. These charges are a clear attempt by the Trump administration to silence political opposition. Democrats won't be intimidated from doing our jobs. We won't back down.
Under Republicans' tax scam, 13.7 million Americans will lose their health insurance. This is the biggest cut to Medicaid in American history. Medicaid goes by different names in different states. This is what it’s called in yours ⬇️
