Congress has a responsibility to provide checks and balances. I joined 40 House Democrats demanding answers from CBP over reports of mistreatment, due process violations, and prolonged detention at our borders. fresnobee.com/opinion/editor…

Republicans are gutting nutrition assistance with cruel work rules and bureaucratic hoops to bankroll tax cuts for the top 1%.

Donald Trump’s ā€œOne Big, Ugly Billā€ is exactly that: the biggest Medicaid cut in U.S. history. cbsnews.com/amp/news/compa…

On July 2, 1964, the Civil Rights Act was signed outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Yet today, Trump's administration targets immigrants and deports lawful Americans. The push for equality must persist! #CivilRightsAct

My district has the highest number of people on SNAP in California. Under the Big-Ugly bill, over 35,000 people would lose food assistance. That means less food on the table, fewer sales for local grocers, and job losses across the Valley. I’m fighting to stop it.

Let’s call it what it is: The Big Ugly Bill hurts Latino communities. Im standing with my colleagues to denounce these devastating cuts.

Every $1 in SNAP generates $1.50 in economic activity. When that’s cut, grocery stores sell less, farms lose buyers, and workers lose hours. The Big-Ugly bill hurts the heart of our local economies.

Republicans are pushing Medicaid cuts in their ā€œOne Big, Ugly Billā€ - and the consequences go far beyond just those enrolled. Hospitals rely on Medicaid funding, and cuts could mean longer ER wait times, delays, and reduced services – even here in the Valley. This

The Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program helps low-income households afford their heating and cooling bills. In the Valley – where families regularly face extreme heat waves – this support is essential. Yet Republicans are attempting to block this critical funding,

From rural towns to big cities, House Democrats have shared the stories of over 150 Americans over the last 7 hours. We are fighting to make sure every voice counts.

Republicans are turning their backs on Americans. Their One Big, Ugly bill just: āŒ Slashed $1.1 trillion from Medicaid & ACA āŒ Stripped healthcare from 17M people āŒ Put over 240K Valley residents at risk – including over 51,000 from my district who are seniors, children,

Republicans had six months to work with Democrats on a bipartisan, responsible budget. Instead, they’ve chosen to put billionaires and big corporations first at the expense of the people of the San Joaquin Valley. Healthcare is essential as the majority of the people that I

Stay safe this Fourth of July! USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service recommends to not leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours – or 1 hour if it’s over 90F. Keep it cool and enjoy the holiday! More tips below ā¬‡ļø usda.gov/about-usda/new…

Medicaid cuts will hurt folks significantly in across the Valley. That means longer ER waits, fewer staff, and higher insurance bills. We deserve better — not less care when we need it most.

The devastation caused by the floods in Kerr County, Texas, is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected during this difficult time. In moments like these, we must come together to support one another and strengthen our communities.

Medicaid cuts don’t just hurt patients — they strain hospitals. Hospitals like Valley Children’s and Community Regional Medical Center will be stretched thin with fewer staff, longer waits, and higher costs. When hospitals suffer, so do we.
