Back-to-school shopping feeling more expensive this year? You're not imagining it. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, prices on school supplies are up across the board.

Kilmar Abrego García and his family are being punished because Homeland Security won’t admit its mistake. Their cruelty is sickening. Our immigration system should protect families, not be weaponized to tear them apart to cover for the Trump administration’s failures.

Being LGBTQI+ isn't a disease, and it's not something that a licensed therapist should be trying to “fix” about young LGBTQI+ people. As an Congressional Equality Caucus Vice Chair, I’m proud to join House Democrats in urging SCOTUS to uphold bans on conversion therapy for minors.

Sick? You know what’s sick — stormtroopers in Newington. Children terrified. Families destroyed. You turned American neighborhoods into hunting grounds. I stand up for the people I’m sworn to serve. Maybe the President should too.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, President Trump is again attacking federal workers, issuing an executive order stripping them of their right to organize. I stand with AFGE and all my union brothers and sisters fighting to protect their rights. nytimes.com/2025/08/29/us/…

Labor Day honors every worker who keeps our communities running. As workers’ rights continue to be tested, we must remember those who came before us. Today is a tribute to their dignity, resilience, and the ongoing fight for fairness.

Today’s ruling is a win for democracy and our Constitution.   Trump cannot illegally misuse the National Guard to target California.   We will never back down from defending our state.

I’ve signed. The American people deserve answers. Time to let the Epstein files see the light.

Caregivers deserve dignity, respect, and livable wages. That’s why I sent a letter of support for SEIU Local 2015 and applaud this win for 240,000 workers in LA County. seiu2015.org/caregivers-cel…

Thinking about applying to a U.S. military service academy? Join our Virtual Service Academy Day for California’s 38th District constituents on September 9 at 5:00 PM PST to learn more.

Today’s jobs report: worst since the pandemic. Unemployment rose to 4.3% and the economy lost jobs for the first time in 4 years—13,000 fewer positions in June.   Trump’s reckless tariffs & GOP cuts = fewer jobs, more pain for working families.

The conservative Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light for more “roving raids” targeting Latino communities in LA.   Speaking Spanish or working construction shouldn't be a pretext to violate your constitutional rights.   Know Your Rights: lindasanchez.house.gov/KnowYourRights

A federal court just blocked the IRS from sharing confidential taxpayer data with ICE.   Back in April, I, alongside Rep. Jimmy Gomez, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Rep. Dan Goldman led 43 colleagues demanding answers for immigrant families. Today’s ruling shows why our oversight matters.

As a proud member of Congressional Hispanic Caucus, we will not stay silent while Trump is #QuietlyKillingDACA. ICE & CBP are unlawfully detaining immigrant youth like Xóchitl. This cruelty must end.

My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family. Political violence is never the answer.

Today we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families forever changed. We remember the courage of first responders and the resilience of our nation in the face of tragedy.   May we never forget and may we continue working toward peace, unity, and justice.

Trump’s reckless tariffs are hurting working families. Prices on food, gas, and cars are climbing while wages stay flat.   The Fed is forced to tread carefully, but families in CA-38 feel the squeeze every day. We need policies that lift people up—not drive costs higher.

Programs like WIC are essential to building healthier and stronger communities. I'm grateful to the staff at La Mirada's WIC Center for showing me around and for the positive impact they make every day. I’ll always fight to protect and strengthen WIC.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to reflect on our history, uplift our communities, and recognize the perseverance that defines us. Proud to celebrate our culture and contributions today and every day.
