Today, at sunset, we begin Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day. During this time, we remember the horrors of the Holocaust and the 11 million people murdered at the hands of the evil Nazi regime, including 6 million Jews.

I visited the Blind Children’s Center earlier this year, where I heard from parents about how the center’s Head Start program has given their children the opportunity and ability to succeed despite their income.

The CFPB has put $20 billion back into the pockets of everyday Americans. Trump’s policies have done the opposite.

Miracles happen at the Children’s Hospital LA every single day, but the Trump Administration’s cuts to medical research threaten their work. Thank you to CHLA for your tireless work to heal our children. I’m committed to making sure the miracles they perform can continue to happen.

Today is Earth Day. Despite the reckless rollbacks of environmental protections by the Trump Administration, I’ll keep fighting for clean air and water, for the protection of our biodiversity, and against global warming.

Trump doesn’t care that his tariffs will make it thousands of dollars more expensive for disaster victims as they go to rebuild their homes & lives. I’ll keep fighting these tariffs and for unconditional disaster aid to victims.

I met with representatives of Television City and toured their historic facilities, where so many of our favorite TV shows have been filmed. I’m more committed than ever to ensuring that the entertainment industry, and the jobs it provides, stays local and healthy.

Pope Francis was a moral voice in our world — a leader who brought humility, empathy, and courage to one of the most powerful roles on Earth. I come from a different religion, but I have long admired his deep commitment to peace, equity, and the dignity of every person.

Federal funding for brain, lung, pancreatic, & kidney cancer just got ZEROED OUT. Many patients receive their treatments through clinical trials – trials that Musk just cancelled. This is beyond sickening – and all but one Republican voted for it.

Proud to join 59 colleagues urging Secretary Rubio to end U.S. military aid to Azerbaijan. After the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, we cannot reward Azerbaijan’s aggression. This echoes the horrors of the Armenian Genocide and I won’t look away.

Detaining & questioning a citizen for hours, purely because their client is a protestor, is an assault on the law & legal profession. The federal government should never be in the business of punishing lawyers for representing clients & issues they disagree with. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

I’ll tell you how I really feel: fired-up and ready to defend Social Security and Medicaid. This is about more than just policy. It’s about keeping a promise we made to the people who built this country and who have paid into Social Security for decades to protect their retirement.

🧵President Trump’s illegal actions won’t go unchecked. Alongside House Democrats, I’m committed to fighting every overreach. Here are some of the amicus briefs I’ve joined so far:

Trump keeps telling us he won’t cut Social Security. But with long telephone hold times, more frequent website crashes, & fewer staff to help our seniors, he might as well call his plan what it is: a painful and unnecessary slashing of services. 🧵

Board member Danny Tolli joined fellow entertainment union leaders and Rep. Laura Friedman at Raleigh Studios to call for bringing production back to California. We must do all we can to support our local economy and keep the entertainment industry here at home!

More than 1 million Americans live with Parkinson’s, & by 2030 that number is expected to grow to 1.3 million. Instead of working toward a cure, the Trump admin is firing the scientists leading breakthrough research. We need more investment in NIH, not less. Americans deserve cures, not suffering.

Bringing insulin costs down and investigating price-gouging of this life-saving medication should be a no-brainer bipartisan effort. But Trump doesn’t think so. He’s letting greedy companies line their pockets at the expense of ailing Americans.

After the wildfires, our communities don’t need promises — they need jobs. Today, I led 10 Members of Congress in calling on the film industry to bring production back to LA.

This is absolutely despicable. Federal agents went to an LAUSD school and attempted to interrogate children trying to get to class. No child should ever have to go through such a terrifying experience.

It was a pleasure meeting with members of SAG-AFTRA. I have been proud to support their work during my years in the California State Assembly. I’m committed to working in Congress to support this incredible American industry and to bring production back to Hollywood, where it belongs.

So much for making lives affordable. GOP Reps. just voted to overturn a cap on high overdraft bank fees, punishing hardworking Americans. I voted NO to protect American families from being ripped off.
