Evacuation orders have been placed for parts of West Covina around the BKK landfill.

I introduced the bipartisan Duty Status Reform Act to make the system easier and get our servicemembers compensated quickly and efficiently and I’m proud to have the full backing of the Military Departments’ personnel chiefs in this crucial change.
As the Former Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, I know firsthand how the overly complicated and confusing duty status system denies our servicemembers the fair compensation and benefits they’ve earned.
Congratulations to our hardworking, dedicated students for receiving this distinguished recognition, and to the educators, administrators, staff and families who motivate and support their commitment to achieving academic excellence.
This week, I celebrated the nine schools across San Gabriel Valley selected as 2026 California Distinguished Schools.
I am proud to support a school so firmly committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment for its students.
As a champion for higher education, I look for ways we can reduce barriers for students to pursue their career goals.
I met with @calpolypomona.bsky.social this week and we had a great conversation about the university’s strong presence in our community.
Firefighters work around the clock to keep our community safe. I proudly presented a $250,000 check for a new West Covina Fire Station that will meet firefighter safety requirements, so firefighters can continue providing essential, life-saving emergency services to residents and businesses.
The Cal Poly Pomona Heroes for Horses program specializes in helping student veterans learn new skills after returning from service. I enjoyed checking out the stables housing these beautiful horses and hearing the impact of this unique experience on student veterans.
I proudly presented the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments with a $250,000 check to lead construction for a high-quality transportation network across the East San Gabriel Valley, supporting needed safety improvements and increasing access to outdoor activities.
These resources will allow our police officers to be more responsive to all residents within the City of Monrovia, building a safer community for all.
The Monrovia Police Department will get an upgraded radio communication system and IT tools, after I presented officers with a $1,031,000 check to modernize their communication center, fulfilling a critical gap for the agency with regional public safety resources.
This financial investment will allow the city to extend the bikeway, upgrade accessibility ramps, and improve roadways, promoting better access to hiking trails, camping areas, soccer fields, regional parks, and the equestrian center.
Experience all San Dimas Canyon has to offer!
I presented a $850,000 check for the City of San Dimas Canyon Road Multi-modal Transportation Improvement Project to increase access to recreational facilities and outdoor activities.
This week, I presented a $1,031,000 check to the City of La Verne to modernize technology that will enable first responders to efficiently serve the community. I’m proud we delivered critical resources.
These investments will create a safer place for kids to play and neighbors to connect, helping the community thrive.
Park improvements are coming to La Puente Park, with an $820,000 investment enhancing community access to the neighborhood park by promoting pedestrian safety through updated security lighting and new interactive playground equipment.
Congressional Republicans are refusing to bring us back to vote on a War Powers Resolution, shirking their oversight duties, and abdicating all Congressional power to fuel the President’s genocidal ambitions.

Now is the time for Congressional Republicans, the Cabinet, and Senior Military leaders to join Democrats and speak up before our nation commits a heinous act.
These deranged and deadly ramblings are not consistent with the behavior of a Commander in Chief. We cannot have someone that acts so unstable at the helm of the world’s largest military.
Threateaning to decimate an entire country isn’t a war tactic, it’s a war crime and a call for genocide. No one—no matter their affiliation—should support vile attacks on civillians.
While I am glad the Colonel is going to be back home with his family, this didn’t have to happen, and we lost nearly $300 million in equipment—no matter how old it is.
But Trump’s war with Iran is so unpopular that he is using this rescue operation as a way to gain support for his illegitimate war.
Trump could have simply said “thank you to all the personnel who were involved in rescuing the downed Air Force Colonel. We are happy to have them back.”
Happy Easter! Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful day filled with hope and time spent with family.
Praying for the F-15 crew shot down over Iran. Hoping they make it out safe.
This bill would fund all of Homeland Security with the exception of ICE and CBP, which is what Democrats have been advocating for.
Instead, they chose to pass a bill that never had a chance of passing. They could’ve ended the shutdown last week by doing this earlier. Unbelievable!
The dysfunction of House Republicans is beyond belief. Their leader Speaker Johnson has now agreed to the homeland security funding bill, that the Senate passed before the recess.
The President’s address to the nation last night was about as clear as mud. That is why the price of oil went up again today. www.nbcnews.com/business/mar...
May the next eight days remind us of the importance of fighting tyranny everywhere and may all those celebrating have a joyous Passover. Chag Pesach Same'ach!
