I convened growers across CA-25. Tariffs, rising gas prices, and supply costs are straining our regional economy. We discussed bold ideas, from strengthening buy local initiatives to tackling food insecurity head on. I am working to introduce legislation that puts our farmers and communities first.

Prepare for festival season with local road closures. Be safe and have fun!

Bracket-ing out time to celebrate women’s greatness 🏀💪 Congressman Ruiz and team making their picks for Women’s March Madness, because supporting women’s excellence is always a winning play.

TSA agents and DHS workers just missed their first full paycheck.

Republicans can end this shutdown today, but they’re blocking funding unless ICE gets $28B more with no accountability.

Hardworking Americans are paying the price.

We are working with Union Pacific to bring you the latest updates on the cause and aftermath of the car derailment in North Shore.

Within an hour, the train cars will be completely cleaned.

We will continue to keep you updated and get you the answers you’re looking for.

I called for a full & independent investigation into the conduct of CBP Commander Bovino. Communities in the country deserve answers, transparency & accountability for the violent treatment of non-criminal immigrants & US citizens, including the killings of Renée Good & Alex Pretti.

My heart breaks for the individuals and families affected by the shooting at Temple Israel in Detroit, Michigan.

We cannot live in fear of practicing our faith in America. There is no place for hatred and violence in a place of worship.

I am honored to receive the Early Cancer Detection Champion Award from DAP Health for my work advancing H.R. 842, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. Expanding access to early cancer detection means saving more lives.

Today, I presented a check for $1 million to Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District for their Road Rehabilitation Project so the community can safely visit and remember their loved ones with dignity.

Have you all tried The Brown Bag sandwich and deli restaurant in Palm Desert north of the I-10? It’s a small shop and family owned. I got the Karv sandwich today for lunch and it was delicious! Let’s support small businesses when we can!

Disabled veterans shouldn’t have to choose between the retirement they earned, and the disability benefits they deserve. The Major Richard Star Act fixes this unfair policy and honors the service of combat-injured veterans who sacrificed for our country. Congress must pass it. #MajorRichardStarAct

There was no proof or evidence given to Congress and the American people of an imminent threat to the U.S. and Trump sent them anyway. It didn't have to be this way and I will demand answers.

My heart breaks for the service members killed and severely injured. My prayers are with their families and with every service member in harm’s way. We owe them support, clear objectives, and accountability.

We had an international agreement that prevented Iran from having nuclear weapons, but Trump tore it up. He's the only reason Iran is able to pursue nuclear weapons.

Congress must act immediately to stop Trump from risking American lives.

Once again, Donald Trump has lied to the American people, broken the law, and risked American lives for a personal vendetta.

He repeatedly promised no new wars and criticized past Presidents for starting wars without Congressional approval, but here he is, doing exactly that.

Weakening clean air protections means more pollution, more ER visits, and more families paying the price- while polluters get a free pass.

The Trump Admin, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, is moving to roll back the Endangerment Finding, the rule that lets us limit dangerous air pollution. That decision won’t stay in DC. It will be felt in places like our district, where families already live with dirty air and higher asthma rates.

I'm also grateful for the tireless work by Senator Adam Schiff, State Senator Steve Padilla and Governor Newsom for paving a workable path forward.

I applaud Riverside County Supervisor Perez and the Board, CEO Jeff Van Wagenen and Riverside University Health for stepping up to provide much needed management services and the emergency funds needed to qualify for an additional $9 million in federal funds.

Palo Verde Hospital is critical for the people of Blythe. Without it, patients facing emergencies would have to travel more than 70 miles for care and that distance and travel time can be the difference between life and death.

We’ll cover how projects are evaluated, how requests move through the appropriations process, key eligibility requirements, documentation, & best practices for submitting a competitive proposal.

I am pleased to support IHS in our district and across the nation in its commitment to provide quality health care and education across the nation.

I am absolutely honored to help #IndianHealthServices (IHS) secure $8.05b in funding for FY26 and $5.3b in advanced funding for FY27! 
 
Indian Health Services provides healthcare to 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. It is by law, an important responsibility, and very much needed.

Grateful to welcome water district leaders from our district to DC for my constituent open house. Ensuring safe, affordable drinking water and investing in modern water infrastructure takes strong partnerships and I’m committed to continuing this work together for our district.

Trump is admitting he lied when he said he "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program last year. #SOTU

Wondering when Trump is going to announce the arrest of Kristi Noem for her role in the deaths of two American Citizens in Minnesota. #SOTU

Much of the criminal activity in DC is occurring in the White House. #SOTU

I condemn all forms of political violence include yours Trump! I condemn the Jan 6th insurrection you directed and the threats you make. #SOTU
