Republicans are letting health care tax credits expire at the end of the month, which will spell disaster for millions of Americans. Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to save affordable health care, but folks like my constituent Diane already have to brace for impact:

I have some good news from DC: Last night, we passed the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act! The funds from this are a lifeline to keep schools open, teachers supported, and basic public services running.

The Trump administration is completely off the rails, and Congressional Republicans are doing nothing to rein them in. I won’t vote to give them another blank check to fund Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

The ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care are going to expire at the end of the month. Every House Democrat has signed the petition to extend the credits for 3 more years – but not a single Republican. Do👏 something👏 to save👏 health care👏

Millions of Americans can barely afford their groceries and energy bills right now, and Trump’s unhinged attacks on cheap, clean energy are only making things worse. Now, the courts have ruled that these senseless efforts aren't just destructive – they're also flat out illegal.

Food insecurity has only worsened since Trump and Republicans slashed SNAP and stripped food away from hungry seniors, children, and veterans. I heard from the amazing staff at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank who's stepped in to fill these gaps. Thank you for all your work!

Opening California's protected coastlines to offshore drilling would be an environmental disaster. Trump's plan would pollute our beaches, enable oil spills, and devastate local economies. This is an absolute nonstarter, and @SenPadilla and I will keep fighting back with our CA

The legislators expressed their opposition to plans for opening up oil and gas drilling off the California coast.

The cost of living is way too high, and Trump is doing nothing to help the American people. Democrats are working to save affordable health care and lower daily costs, while Trump is building a ballroom and giving windfalls to his billionaire donors. It's despicable.

All kids – no matter their zip code, race, disability, or any other factor – deserve excellent education. 50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to make that happen. I'm fighting to ensure Congress delivers on this promise and stop the Trump admin from stealing it from our kids.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing political speech. @RepJamesClyburn, @RepHuffman, @RonWyden and I are calling on the Trump Administration to stop taking a wrecking ball to the separation of church and state.

Most Americans can't keep up with the skyrocketing cost of living – and Republicans are only making that worse. Since Trump took office, the average family in California has paid $1,112 in higher prices due to his policies. The American people deserve better.

While millions of Americans struggle with the high cost of living, Trump and the GOP’s priority is letting Big Oil billionaires pollute our waters. On #TheFlipSide, I'm fighting harder than ever to protect communities from this pollution, flooding, and skyrocketing costs.

50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to transform classrooms for kids with disabilities. Fast Forward to now: Trump is eviscerating @usedgov and compromising special services. Every child deserves the education they need to succeed, and I won’t stop pushing for full funding.

Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies. We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or jobs for polluter profits.

After months of @SpeakerJohnson doing everything he could to block us, I just voted to release the Epstein Files. Survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth. We must ensure anyone involved, no matter how wealthy or well-connected, is held accountable.

While Trump drags us back to the Stone Age, China is lapping us on renewable energy. We've seen it in Humboldt County and across the country. Trump is cutting millions in funding from major wind projects and abandoning the progress we've built for future generations. It's

China is expanding renewable energy exponentially while the U.S. is going backward. How China became the global leader, why the U.S. falling behind and what it means for these countries' economies.

Why should Big Oil billionaires get to skirt the rules? They shouldn’t. Our bills close loopholes to even the playing field and stop them from destroying communities so we can get this public health and environmental crisis under control.

The legislation would close the "Halliburton Loophole" and strengthen other regulations on oil and gas production.

Since Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%. House Republicans’ solution? Slash affordable clean energy projects and pump more fossil fuels to ship them overseas – making electricity costs go even higher. It's the opposite of what the American people need.

While farmers in California continue to struggle, Trump is amping up Argentinian beef imports and abandoning American products. We need to pass @RepRoKhanna's bill to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling and help ensure a fairer marketplace for farmers and ranchers.
