From infrastructure to innovation, our region is built to lead. And I'm proud to fight for our region every day in Congress.

Thank you to the Metro Chamber for bringing together hundreds of our regional leaders every year for Cap-to-Cap. 

Sacramento shows what is possible when we come together. We collaborate, we innovate, and we deliver results. 🧵

This kind of accountability is essential to ensure these lifesaving protections are followed in practice and help save lives in the most desperate moments of need.

Every second counts, and every American should have confidence that when they dial 9-1-1, help is on the way. Today, the House will pass my Kari’s Law Reporting Act, which builds on Kari’s Law by directing the FCC to report on compliance in hotels, offices, and facilities nationwide.

Kari’s Law was passed by Congress after the tragic murder of Kari Hunt, whose daughter was unable to reach emergency services from a hotel phone because she did not know she needed to dial an extra 9 for outgoing calls.

In an emergency, there is no room for confusion or delay. 🧵

It also calls for recommendations to improve outage reporting, network resiliency, and coordination with state and local officials, while addressing unreported outages so call centers and first responders are not left in the dark.

During major disasters, we have seen communications fail, and too often we are left without clear answers about what went wrong or how to prevent it from happening again.

My bill directs the FCC to report, after natural disasters, on when and why people cannot reach 9-1-1.

I’m proud that today the House will pass my Emergency Reporting Act, because when a family calls 9-1-1, they should never be met with silence. 🧵

I had an excellent meeting with the California School Boards Association. Our commitment to students and future generations is fundamental to our work. I am grateful for our partnership as we navigate an administration that seeks to undermine education and the critical resources students rely on.

This bill would give FDA and the public a clearer picture of where our drugs and their ingredients come from so we can spot risks earlier, respond faster, and better protect patients from dangerous shortages.

When a patient can't get the medicine they need, nothing else matters. Families are left waiting. Doctors are left scrambling. And in too many cases, no one has a clear answer why.

I just introduced a bill to give the FDA, health care providers, and the public more transparency into where prescription drugs and their key ingredients are actually made so we can better prevent drug shortages.🧵

No real reforms. No new protections. Just more unchecked surveillance power. And they’re handing it to Donald Trump and his allies for the rest of his term.

I’ll be here all night fighting back and voting NO. [3/3]

This would allow the government to keep searching Americans’ data without a warrant for the next five years.

I’ve fought for years to close this loophole and require a warrant, just like the Fourth Amendment demands. [2/3]

Speaker Johnson just called us back to the floor in the middle of the night.

You can’t make this up. At 2 a.m. Republicans are jamming through a backroom deal to extend FISA before their own Members have even read the bill. [1/3]

US House narrowly rejects war powers resolution as dissent grows Resolution needed two more votes to pass, but Democrats now appear solidified in opposition

Congress cannot wait for Donald Trump to commit the war crimes he’s threatening before reining him in. Time and again, his dangerous rhetoric is dismissed—only for the United States and the world to face the consequences of his incompetence and cruelty. 🧵

CAPAC, CHC and CPC Chairs Lead 53 Members of Congress in Urging Leadership to Include Fourth Amendment Protections in FISA Reauthorization WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, 53 Members of Congress — led by the Chairs of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus — s...

Section 702 of FISA violates the 4th Amendment—full stop. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding a course correction. We can protect our country without infringing on constitutional rights.

This Tax Day is a reminder that while costs keep rising for working families, the only people seeing relief are the wealthy elite.

Trump's made life more unaffordable for people who work hard, play by the rules, and still can't get ahead. 🧵

Ranking Member Raskin Introduces Legislation Establishing Independent Commission on Presidential Capacity Washington, D.C. (April 14, 2026)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced legislation establishing a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the ...

I am joining my colleagues in introducing this legislation, because the 25th Amendment cannot rise or fall on whether Trump's loyalist Cabinet has the courage to act. He is unfit to serve.

Congress must enforce accountability.

Through the American Rescue Plan Act, WellSpace received $4 million that jump started the investment for the Mental Health Rehabilitation Center.

Mental health care is health care, and for too long, mental health has NOT been treated with the urgency, compassion, or attention it deserves.

I have worked with WellSpace Health for many years to improve our 988-access hotline and invest federal funds into mental health projects. 🧵

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign after sexual misconduct allegations Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign from Congress following sexual assault and misconduct allegations.

The sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Eric Swalwell are deeply disturbing and disqualifying for anyone elected to public office. There is absolutely no place in Congress for any member to engage in such cruel behavior. 🧵
