Our Oversight and Judiciary committees will ensure that ANYONE who has threatened our democracy is held accountable, and that work is happening now. Proud to partner with @raskin.house.gov on the work ahead.

There is no doubt in my mind that Americans are living through an unprecedented level of government corruption. When Democrats take back the House, we will have the power to hold those responsible for corruption to account. And we will do just that.

Opinion | I lead House Oversight Democrats. Corruption is making the cost-of-living crisis worse.
Some of the most powerful people in this country are profiting from the decisions they’re supposed to be making for us.

This amount of corruption is unprecedented, and Oversight Democrats are focused on four main areas: Trump family corruption, ICE and DHS abuses, corporate corruption, and justice for the Epstein survivors. We're going in hard. It's time for accountability.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. Instead he was wrongfully killed by ICE agents. His son Lorenzo Salgado Jr. recalls memories of how his father inspired him and shaped him into the man he is today. Oversight Dems will get justice for Lorenzo and his family.

We secured over $1 million for upgrades to Pritchard Park in the city of Bell. So far, these funds have helped build spaces for kids to play, and soon, there will even be a new dog park. We will continue to fight for funds for cities across our community.

On January 7th, Renée Good dropped her son off at school, but never made it back to pick him up. She was wrongfully shot and killed by an ICE agent. Her brother Brent Ganger sat down with us to talk about Renée and his fight for justice. Oversight Dems will hold ICE accountable.

I'm working to bring $1.1 million to Promenade Square Park and Pine Ave. for renovations and upgrades highly requested by our downtown neighbors. With all the chaos in D.C., it's important we keep funding projects that our Long Beach community can see and enjoy!

Proud to announce that our Common Cents Act has officially passed Congress and now heads to the President's desk. Every year, the government loses approximately $179 million making pennies. This legislation will put that money back in the taxpayers' pockets. Let's go!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a hard-working man wrongfully killed by ICE agents at a traffic stop. His son Ronaldo Salgado sat down to share memories of his father and make it clear that this cannot continue happening. Oversight Dems will hold ICE accountable.

Noble Bird is one of my favorite restaurants in Long Beach. Sidney and her husband opened an allergy-friendly, incredible place. Proud to support our local small businesses, especially those like Noble Bird.

The Trump family has financial ties to a Russian oligarch close to Putin. That should alarm every single American. Why does this family keep cutting deals with foreign adversaries? Oversight Democrats are investigating, and we will get the truth.

The U.S. is supposed to be supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia. Why is Don Jr. accepting massive gifts from a Putin ally? This is pure Trump family corruption, and we will get answers when Democrats take back Congress.

Donald Trump's plans to militarize his "Triumphal Arch" are insane, and they are disrespectful to our veterans and historians in this country. He should not be allowed to do whatever he wants without Congressional approval or public input.

Donald Trump is attacking the free press. A judge rules that the President can't deny CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. Why were they turned away and who ordered it? We must protect our First Amendment rights.

We haven't forgotten that a Russian oligarch bankrolled Don Jr.'s wedding, and you shouldn't either. How could an ally of Vladimir Putin spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and expect nothing in return? What is Trump's son hiding? We will get answers.

ICE is a police state force controlled by Stephen Miller and Donald Trump that has killed U.S. citizens. It should be abolished.

Wilber Perez was making a food delivery when he was shot and injured by ICE. ICE has lied about these shootings in the past, and they continue to terrorize innocent people. I support @RepCasar.bsky.social in his demand for an immediate, independent investigation. We will get accountability.

Donald Trump’s war in Iran has caused enormous economic damage to American families, cost American lives, and brought suffering to the Iranian people who deserve freedom. We have destroyed global relationships, all while the price of gas continues to go up. This war must end.

Trump's trade wars are hurting not only our economy and our workers; they are impacting entire cities that are dependent on Canadian tourism, including Las Vegas and my hometown of Long Beach. The President must stop attacking our neighbors and allies.
