I and 200+ other House Democrats filed an amicus briefing to fight against Trump’s unconstitutional executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. If you’re born in the U.S, you’re a citizen—period. 🇺🇸

We’re pushing back against Trump’s attacks. Join me live this Tuesday, April 15 for a Zoom town hall to talk about how we’re protecting our communities. 💪🏽 I’ll break down what’s really going on, how I’m fighting back in Congress, and what it means for you. RSVP ➡️ bit.ly/repgomeztownhall

Wishing everyone in LA and around the world a joyful and meaningful Passover. Chag sameach!

Trump still has tariffs in effect that will affect LA’s small businesses, restaurants, and shops. As costs of importing goods increases, prices will go up on everything from produce to baby onesies. Enough is enough.

🚨This week in Congress, I stood up to Trump's dumb tariffs (yep, they’re still there) that are coming for your morning joe ☕

Thought Trump’s tariff reversal would lower prices? ⚠️ Think again — small businesses could take the hit, and so could your wallet. Watch to find out why. Shoutout to @NRFnews for teaming up with @DadsCaucus to break it down!

Rallied with @MomsRising and activists to push back on the GOP budget — tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and programs working families rely on. I know from organizing: when we fight together, we win.

Tariffs on an island of penguins. Prices up. Markets down. Recession warning lights flashing. And their big plan is just “trust us.” These guys couldn’t organize a two-car parade.

Happy birthday to the legendary Dolores Huerta — fearless organizer, trailblazer, and a voice of justice. Grateful to know her and learn from her example. Her words “Sí se puede” still inspire generations to fight for what’s right. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Dolores! 🎉

Trump reversed his tariffs in the middle of my questioning of the U.S. Trade Representative — if that doesn’t scream “no plan,” I don’t know what does.

Join me live on Zoom next Tuesday, April 15. We’ll talk Trump’s latest attacks, how I’m fighting back, and what it all means for our community. Bring your questions and ask away from home! RSVP here 👉 bit.ly/repgomeztownhall

Trump’s cabinet is packed with billionaires who wouldn’t notice $4600 missing — but for most people, it matters. Meanwhile, his trade rep didn't even know about the tariff reversal until halfway through the hearing...so who's really in charge here?!

Great seeing Pitcher Tyler Glasnow and the @Dodgers on Capitol Hill yesterday! I’m leading a resolution to honor their 8th World Series win and the incredible impact they’ve had on LA — on and off the field. ⚾ #LetsGoDodgers

Trump and Elon Musk are cutting jobs and dismantling critical programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, just as working families are hit with skyrocketing costs for food, childcare, and housing. This is a direct attack on those who can least afford it.

Trump’s dumb tariffs are squeezing working families and hurting our economy. Congressional Republicans need to decide: do they work for Trump or their constituents? The @DadsCaucus and I are calling them out—because parents shouldn’t have to pay for Trump’s BS.

For every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn 83¢. Money lost to the wage gap means having less to support our families and use as a cushion for job loss and hard times. We must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. #AANHPIEqualPay

We should be voting this week on letting new parents proxy vote in Congress. But after losing fair & square, Speaker Mike Johnson canceled all votes. Why are Republicans so afraid of helping working parents? 🤔 When Congress looks like the people it serves, it works better for them.

🧵 Americans are waking up to a new economic reality—higher prices, less certainty, and zero faith in our economic future. This is what happens when Donald Trump governs by ego, not economics—and Congressional Republicans enable him. (1/7) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/b...

My statement on Trump’s dumb tariffs ⬇️

Elon Musk and DOGE are infiltrating our agencies, cutting essential jobs, then trashing the agencies to the public so they can soften the blow when they sell out Americans’ best interests to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Today we honor the life of labor rights hero César Chávez. As a former labor organizer, I carry on his fight for better wages & benefits every day. With workers’ rights under attack by the Trump admin, defending the right to organize has never been more important. ¡Sí se puede!

The Trump admin. is laying off thousands of health experts — people who fight infectious diseases and help Americans access Medicare and Medicaid benefits. This decision is careless and irresponsible — and it’ll cost lives, especially as measles spreads.

Noncitizens can’t vote. Trump knows this. But he’s pushing an unlawful executive order to block millions of eligible voters anyway. Rich coming from the guy who incited an insurrection after losing fair and square in 2020. 🤷‍♂️

The Trump admin isn’t fixing Social Security—it’s setting it up to fail. While Musk snatches private data to fight non-existent fraud, GOP-backed billionaires are circling, ready to cash in on your retirement. This isn’t reform, it’s a heist. 🚨💰

🚨Another win against Trump and DOGE! A court just blocked their attempt to seize Social Security info...for now. Trump keeps losing in court—even in front of judges appointed by Democrat and Republican presidents. The fight isn’t over, but we’re racking up victories.💪

CA thrives when everyone has a fair shot at success—regardless of gender identity. Had a great chat with my friend @labamby and the @translatinacoalition about their work defending LGBTQ+ rights. As an ally, I'm working to ensure equal opportunities for all in our community.

🗣️Hey Republicans — instead of being Elon Musk’s personal lapdog, how about doing your job?! I’m gonna keep demanding answers in the @WaysMeansCmte to hold Republicans accountable and protect Americans' personal taxpayer information from Musk and DOGE.

☎️ DOGE is making it harder for seniors to access their Social Security benefits. A leaked memo shows they’re slashing phone support, leading to longer waits & delays. Seniors paid into Social Security their whole lives—now DOGE is standing in their way of what they’ve earned.

Firefighters just fought to keep Angelenos safe from the devastating LA wildfires—risking toxic exposure that increases their cancer risk. We must have their backs. I’m cosponsoring the FIRE Cancer Act to ensure they get lifesaving screenings at no cost.

First, reckless layoffs—now, dangerous data leaks. Elon Musk and DOGE are mishandling your sensitive personal info. These people aren’t making government more efficient—they’re ransacking our government in broad daylight.

House Republicans are letting @ElonMusk & DOGE rummage through Americans’ Social Security, bank, and health info—without accountability. I, along @WaysMeansCmte Dems, will hold Musk accountable if they won’t. He needs to come before the committee to face the American public.

They’re finally saying the quiet part out loud—Project 2025 is Trump’s Agenda. And here’s the thing, it’s bad for our economy and country🚨 : 💰 Tax breaks for billionaires ❌ Gutting Medicaid ⚠️ Attacking workers’ & women’s rights We must fight back and stand up for working families.

While Trump attacks health care for seniors & people with disabilities, I’m fighting to expand it. I’m cosponsoring legislation with @RepLloydDoggett and @SenSanders to ensure Medicare covers dental, hearing & vision—because everyone should have access to the care they need.

🚨 The Republican budget proposal could strip California of tens of billions in federal funding for Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and CalFresh (SNAP). Cuts of this size would leave millions of families without access to affordable health care or food assistance. #MedicaidDayofAction

My honored guest for Trump’s address to Congress is Dr. Ilhan Shapiro—a community health pediatrician serving kids in #CA34. Dr. Shapiro knows the stakes of Trump and the GOP trying to gut Medicaid & slash critical medical research to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
