100 days of chaos. 100 days of cruelty. 100 days of broken promises. For 100 days, the Trump Administration has done nothing but wreak pain and havoc on working families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov are standing up to Trump's antics and protecting the American people.

As a result of their short-sighted and illegal mass firings of the federal science workforce, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE put the public health of Americans, the safety of our communities, and our global competitiveness at risk. I co-sponsored 5 bills to halt the chaotic mass firings.

More details about the text messages have been revealed. It’s clear - Pete Hegseth lied. Americans, our service members, and our country are less safe under his leadership. FIRE HEGSETH.

Instead of addressing the widening academic achievement gap, preventing school shootings, or making college more affordable – issues all families care about – the Trump Administration is choosing to steal from our children and their futures to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

To pay for tax cuts for their billionaire donors, Republicans' budget would cut Medicaid for over 370,000 people in CA-29. This includes over 133,000 children and 45,000 seniors. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to protect Medicaid for working families across the country.

I wrote to @USACEHQ for answers to the wildfire cleanup process, including: - How the debris will be stored and transferred through CA-29 - How transporting and storing debris will impact public health and the environment - The role of third party contractors in this process

THREAD 🧵 This week, while I was voting in Washington, my team went to a town hall in Sun Valley to hear from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about how debris from the recent wildfires will be handled and stored.

NTEU represents federal employees in 37 departments and offices. From serving veterans to researching cancer treatments, these workers show up every day to serve the American people. House Democrats and I are standing with them against DOGE and Elon Musk.

Happy #PiDay 🥧 As an electrical engineer and the only Latina with a STEM background in Congress, I hosted my first Pi Day on the Hill! I used to do host Pi Day every year in Sacramento, and I’m excited to bring this tradition to Washington, D.C.

I joined @congresstran.bsky.social and more than 60 of my colleagues in urging Senator Schumer to reject the Republican CR that would make life harder for working families. We need to come together to pass a 30 day CR so we can work on a bill that benefits all Americans.

Today, I reaffirmed my oath to the San Fernando Valley — the community that raised me and the community I am now honored to represent in Congress. Together, we will fight for a future we can all be proud of.

The extreme budget plan Republicans passed tonight shows us exactly where their values and priorities lie. In their rush to give out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, House Republicans failed to outline plans to protect Medicaid or lower the costs of living for working families.

If budgets are a reflection of values, then House Republicans' values are clear: they would rather betray the middle class so billionaires can have more tax breaks. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting to protect Medicaid, veterans' benefits, SNAP programs, & healthcare for all Americans.

Rep. Luz Rivas @repluzrivas.bsky.social · 25/02/2025
I stood with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to send a message that while Republicans are handing out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, we are fighting to protect Medicaid from any cuts.

Make sure you, your family, and your neighbors are aware of your rights in the event of an encounter with an ICE agent or another immigration enforcement agency.

Thank you, SEIU California for hosting a discussion on immigration & preserving the American Dream for all. Our parents came to this country to give their children a shot at achieving the American Dream. I will fight alongside my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to keep this dream alive.

Last week, I met with seniors at the Alicia Broadous-Duncan Multipurpose Senior Center in Pacoima to talk all things Medicare. In Congress, I will work with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to protect Medicare from House Republicans' to cut or dismantle it.

Abolishing the Department of Education will result in: ❌ Overcrowded classrooms ❌ Fewer resources for students ❌ Cuts to services for students with disabilities I joined @neatoday.bsky.social to protect public schools and stand against Trump’s plan to abolish the Department of Education.

There are over 55 pending lawsuits against the Trump Administration's executive orders – including action on DOGE, ending birthright citizenship, and gutting USAID. @HouseDemocrats and I will keep supporting lawsuits that protect the American people and hold Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE accountable.
