I’ll always work to protect the rights of #CA52 residents. No matter your immigration status, know your rights if you ever have an encounter with an immigration enforcement agency like ICE.

President Trump's recissions package is a rubber stamp of DOGE's cuts and cancels funds that have already been approved. Congress has the power of the purse, but this GOP-led Congress won't stand up to Trump. I voted no.

Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them . based on their physical appearance."

We just got new numbers on inflation: Trump's chaotic tariffs are raising costs. We're challenging his abuse of emergency powers to impose tariffs in court.

Greed, predatory lending, and deregulation crashed the economy and devastated millions in 2008. Democrats passed Dodd-Frank to stop it from happening again. Now, Republicans are working to undo it all. We're sounding the alarm.

The Trump Administration’s latest attack on our communities is shameful. Programs like Head Start support thousands of our nation’s children and families. The Trump Administration is weaponizing these essential services, threatening workers’ livelihoods and ripping away health.

Cross-border pollution has been harming our communities for far too long. This crisis demands a unified response from all levels of government—but it also demands leadership. That’s why I’m proud to reintroduce the Border Water Quality Restoration and Protection Act, which would.

Republicans just voted to pass Trump's Big Ugly Bill without a single Democratic vote. They betrayed working families and will kick millions of people off of their health care - all to give tax cuts to billionaires. Beyond shameful. We won't forget this.

It's after midnight here in DC and Republicans are still trying to jam through their Big Ugly Bill. Democrats are united in our opposition. NO to 17M people losing health care. NO to gutting SNAP. NO to this cruelty. We're fighting this every step of the way. #KillTheBill

Every single Democrat will vote NO on Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. We just need FOUR Republicans to show some courage and join us to prevent millions of families from losing health care, food assistance, and more. #KillTheBill.

17 million Americans losing health care. The biggest cut to Medicaid ever. Massive tax breaks for billionaires. Largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. The biggest cut to food assistance in history. I'm at the Capitol to vote NO on Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
