This Memorial Day weekend, I joined communities across our district to remember and honor the brave servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We owe them and their families a debt of gratitude we can never fully repay.

Today, we honor those who never returned home. The sacrifice they made for our freedom can never be repaid. Instead, we must continue to push to better serve those who served our nation in uniform and their families.

The toxic chemical leak in Garden Grove is deeply alarming. Over 50,000 residents and businesses have been evacuated amid serious public health and safety concerns. I call on President Trump to immediately approve Governor Newsom’s request for a federal emergency declaration.

We have requested that President Trump issue an emergency declaration to support response operations in Orange County.

For more than 48 hours, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and state agencies have been on the ground supporting impacted communities, protecting public safety, and assisting local officials as response efforts continue.

Please continue following guidance from emergency officials.

The reality is that childcare today is more expensive than college tuition.
 
That is why I introduced the CHILD Act with to allow parents to set aside more pre-tax dollars for childcare expenses to help make it more affordable for working families.

I conducted oversight of the Adelanto ICE facility and was appalled by the conditions. Mold, poor health care, barely enough food.

Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and humanity. The Trump administration must be held accountable.

Detainees say the ICE facility is rife with abuse and neglect that is harming their health.

Families across Southern California are being priced out because there aren’t enough affordable homes.
 
That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Rental Housing Investment Act to lower construction costs, build more housing, and help working families find homes they can afford.
 
A report from found that policies like this could help create up to nearly 1M new multi-family homes and lower rent for families.
 
I’m proud to bring real solutions to bring down housing costs and increase supply.

While Americans drown in Trump's rising costs, he just rigged the IRS to ensure he and his family can never be touched for not paying their taxes.

One set of rules for Trump, another for everyone else.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed a broadly worded addendum that appears to end the president’s long-running disputes with the IRS.

Heartbroken by the tragic shooting in San Diego today. Praying for the victims, their families and everyone affected by this senseless act of violence. There is no place hate in our communities.

Today, I led my colleagues in calling on the Trump Administration to use the USMCA review to strengthen worker protections, environmental standards, and our economic security.
 
We need trade policies that put American workers and families first.

Today marks 61 years of Head Start and its impact on more than 40 million children, families, and communities, including here in Southern California.

Head Start makes a real difference for our kids, and now more than ever, it’s critical that this program receives the proper funding.

I’m relieved to see SCOTUS protect access to mifepristone. This medication has been safely used for decades and this will ensure patients can continue making their own healthcare decisions with their doctors.

The Supreme Court has restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortion is provided across the nation.
