This week I joined my democratic colleagues to introduce the PRO Act, to ensure workers have the right to form a union and negotiate for better wages and benefits. Meanwhile, Elon and Trump keep showing us that they could care less about American workers. newrepublic.com/post/192409/...

President Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American people, plain and simple. Grocery costs will go up. Housing costs will go up. Even liquor and beer prices will go up. We need to make sure every American knows that Trump isn’t looking out for them. www.instagram.com/reel/DG3oZ6b...

Shadow President Musk and Trump have never served a cause greater than their own pocket books. They have never made the sacrifices our veterans have made to secure a better future for others. Cutting these jobs from the VA will harm our nation's heroes and their families. apnews.com/article/vete...

Sylvester Turner, part of my Freshman class from Houston, passed away last night. He was a good man who dedicated his life to public service as a Texas state legislator and as the Mayor of Houston. He had a good soul and will be missed by his colleagues, family, and friends. Rest in peace.

I spoke out last night because that was 100 mins of B.S. Meanwhile in the real world, the President's tariffs are tanking our economy and making life harder for everyday Americans.

My guest for tonight's SOTU is West Covina City Councilman Ollie Cantos. He served at the U.S. Department of Education, but he was placed on leave due to Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts. I hope his presence reminds Trump and Musk that their contempt for our country’s civil servants is harming American lives.

Republican leadership wants to fund our government with a year-long Continuing Resolution. If we have a government shutdown because of this horrible idea, it's on them. I went to the House floor this morning to call them out on it: www.instagram.com/reel/DGyXfVi...

These arrests are sickening, and I have grave concerns with how these arrests were reported to have been carried out by ICE. The 31st District is home to many immigrant families who came to our country wanting to contribute to our communities and local economy.

President Trump and Vice President Vance's views on Ukraine remain out of touch with reality. Their meeting with President Zelensky was disastrous and disgraceful. Once again, Trump is proving he is nothing more than a stooge for Putin. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

AAPI communities in LA struggled to access emergency alerts during the LA wildfires -- an example of why the President's latest EO is dangerous and dumb. This is another attack on diverse communities that don't fit into Trump's outdated view of America. apnews.com/article/trum...

(1) The government funding bills should have been completed last year. But House Republicans made the political decision to punt them into 2025 because they wanted to wait for Trump to move into the White House. Well, they got what they wanted, but still haven't been able to pass any new funding.

The GOP budget makes $880 billion in cuts to vital programs like Medi-Cal, school lunch programs, and funding to fix California roads. And it’s all to pay for a $314K tax cut for billionaires. Elon Musk has already bought the Presidency, but House Republicans decided his payout shouldn’t stop.

Republicans seem to think cutting $880B in Medicaid in their budget proposal is a good idea. Millions of Americans would be affected, including over 280,000 people in the 31st. This isn't a game, and Republicans should stop treating it like one.

Speaker Johnson's budget is disastrous for the 31st District. It would make devastating cuts to Medi-Cal, food assistance for our seniors and kids, and funds used to fix our roads. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, like Shadow President Elon Musk. www.latimes.com/politics/new...

DOGE now has access to the Social Security Administration. More than 125,156 CA-31 residents receive social security benefits. And over 145,000 CA-31 residents are 62 or older. Cutting their benefits has nothing to do with government efficiency, it's just cruel. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

Republicans’, Trump, and Elon have to pass a govt funding bill because they control the House, Senate, and White House. If they can't agree amongst themselves, it's on them. Democrats will prioritize workers, education, seniors, and our constituents and their values. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The best investment we can make in our future is an investment in our kids and students. This latest illegal effort by Elon Musk is reprehensible and Congress should strongly oppose any efforts to weaken or dismantle the Department of Education.
