After weeks of pressure from myself, @repbradsherman.bsky.social, @schiff.senate.gov, & @padilla.senate.gov, FEMA FINALLY released $6.6M for the DCMP, the lifeline thousands of Southern California wildfire survivors depend on to navigate the red tape standing between them and rebuilding.

For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has denied abortion coverage to people simply because of how much money they make or where they get their health insurance.

Trump is spending $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars on vanity projects: A ballroom. A Triumphal Arch. Gold-plated statues and more. Families are trying to make ends meet. Trump is spending their money to glorify himself.

FEMA has just FIVE days to release funding for the Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP) before thousands of LA Wildfire survivors are left hanging in the middle of their recovery, and over a hundred case managers are out of a job.

This week would have been Dr. Jane Wu's 63rd birthday. Instead, her family is grieving after she died by suicide following years of unjust, cruel scrutiny by the Trump administration.

This week I joined Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California and Japanese American National Museum to discuss the state of immigration in our country. Trump's anti-immigrant agenda has trampled on the rights and due process of our immigrant communities, particularly AANHPI immigrants.

During the Eaton Fire, families had little time to evacuate, forcing pet owners into an impossible choice: leave their pets behind, or risk their own safety by staying.

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while he was making a food delivery. Now, he is being held at the South Texas Detention Complex with a bullet lodged in his body, forced to sleep on the floor with no pain medication. This is the reality of the Trump administration's brutality.

After the Eaton Fire devastated our community, timely mortgage payments dropped dramatically. That's because thousands of families were unsure on how they were going to meet their mortgage payments, all while trying to repair and recover their homes.

I am deeply concerned about reports that the Pentagon has undercounted U.S. troop deaths in the Iran war. These are Americans' lives. Their families and the public deserve the truth.

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

Over $43 BILLION of taxpayer money has been wasted on Trump’s illegal war in Iran. That’s money that could’ve gone towards actually helping American families afford health care, child care, groceries, or gas. It’s absolutely shameful.

Republicans call it the “Empowering Moms Act.” There is nothing empowering about steering pregnant women away from qualified medical providers and toward anti-abortion centers that have been caught misleading women about their health.

The Trump Administration claims to be taking on corruption and voter fraud, but a recent whistleblower’s report revealed that DHS’ flawed “Unlawful Voter Initiative" is doing the opposite: misusing your sensitive voter data and wrongly flagging eligible U.S. citizens as unlawful voters.

The Federal Reserve was forced to raise interest rates today from 3.75% to 4.0%, driven largely by inflation from Trump's reckless tariffs and his war in Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring.

Last night, I voted once again to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. In just 5 months, this reckless war has cost the U.S. $38 BILLION – more than half of what Trump originally requested to fund it.

Community schools are public schools that go beyond the classroom by partnering with local organizations to provide students and families with wraparound services like health care, mental health support, mentoring, and more. Community school coordinators are the reason these partnerships work.
