Today is National Voter Registration Day! Voting is a constitutional right, and every American deserves a safe, convenient way to make their voice heard. That's why I introduced the Vote Without Fear Act making voting even safer. (1/2)

Everyone, especially children, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect as they pursue immigration to America.

Trump’s speech was a pathetic act of desperation. He’s flailing over his war in Iran, costs are sky rocketing, millions are losing their health insurance and his poll numbers are tanking. He’s failing and afraid of a new majority investigating his criminal corruption.

Trump says the only excuses for voting by mail should be "illness, disability, or military service." Which one is he claiming when he votes by mail? We know its not military service!

Can Trump explain how all this supposed illegal voting resulted in Republicans winning the Presidency, Senate, and House?

Instead of focusing on ending the war and lowering costs, he’s spewing conspiracies and unproven accusations to set the stage for his attempt to deny the midterm elections.

Step one in the authoritarian playbook is to sow mistrust in our elections to justify not accepting the will of the people and imposing their own.

Any predictions on how long it takes #Trump to tell his first lie tonight? I'm betting less than 90 seconds.

The VFW represents over a million veterans who served with honor. Investigating them over a political cartoon isn't oversight, it's retaliation for backing the Major Richard Star Act ending the wounded veteran tax.

Lithium Valley sits atop one of the largest known lithium deposits in the world. While developing this area is an extraordinary opportunity, it must not come at the expense of the people who live there. Protecting the health of local communities and achieving energy security is true progress.

The Trump Administration promised to “Make America Healthy Again” but, to no surprise, they lied and these lies are making Americans unhealthy. This Administration needs to stop their misguided, malicious policies that’s hurting people and making American unhealthy.

Extreme heat can become dangerous quickly. Here’s a few ways to stay cool during this extreme heat season: 💧Drink plenty of water. ☀️ Wear lightweight clothing and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning. AND 🚗 Never leave a child or pet in a parked car—not even for a minute.

Republicans are celebrating their so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” also known as the “Big Ugly Law” as millions of Americans continue to lose access to health care and food assistance because of it.

Today, the #SCOTUS reaffirmed what the 14th Amendment has guaranteed for more than 150 years: every person born in the U.S. is a U.S. citizen. President Trump tried to end Birthright Citizenship and failed!

The Supreme Court's decision to allow the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians who have fled violence, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises to seek safety is contrary to our American values.

Our veterans kept their promise of sacrifice and it’s up to Congress to keep our promise of support! We are 5 signatures away from a discharge petition that will force a vote on the Major Richard Star Act without any changes.

Since RFK Jr. took charge, we are on track to have the worst measles outbreak in decades. @repraulruizmd.bsky.social is right: the anti-vaccine movement has been damaging to our children and communities.

I convened local leaders to discuss improving safety, mobility, & emergency access in the Pass Area. By working together on projects like the Pennsylvania Ave. Grade Separation Project, we can reduce rail crossing delays, improve emergency response, & deliver safer infrastructure for residents.

Another $2 million secured for Beaumont. This Community Project Funding will advance the Pennsylvania Ave Grade Separation, improving travel & reducing traffic disruptions caused by Union Pacific blockages. Improved infrastructure means reliable access to the resources our communities depend on.

Congratulations to Cordoba Corporation on its new El Centro Regional Office! Investing in infrastructure and workforce development creates career pathways, supports local businesses, and expands job opportunity for working people across Imperial Valley.

Thrilled to help secure $1,015,000 in federal funds for Westmorland Police & Fire Departments to create jobs and strengthen public safety infrastructure in Imperial Valley. This investment will improve emergency response, support first responders, and make our communities safer for working people.

Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD @repraulruizmd.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
No first responder should have to work in these unacceptable conditions. Can’t wait for the City of Westmorland to upgrade their Emergency Operation Center facilities made possible through the USDA and Community Project Funding.

14 years ago, America invested in the potential of Dreamers. Since then, DACA recipients have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and strengthened communities across the country. After 14 years of success, Dreamers deserve permanent protections—not uncertainty. #DACA #HomeIsHere #Dreamers

If you want to lower health care costs, you don't cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. Transparency is needed. But showing patients how much, they're getting ripped off doesn't stop them from getting ripped off. Let's do the real work.

106 years. 🍒 That’s how long Beaumont has been celebrating the Cherry Festival. I was so glad to introduce our hometown star and American Idol winner, Abi Carter, to the stage. If you’re in the area this weekend, come out to the Cherry Festival for great food, rides, and good times! 🎢

I sat with residents along the New River & listened. Breathing problems. Eye irritation. Skin conditions. Cancer. This is what this river is doing to our communities and it has been ignored for far too long. I brought federal leaders here to hear it firsthand. The work continues until this is fixed.

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.
