Reliable communications save lives. That's why I led California's congressional delegation in urging the FCC to reject AT&T's effort to eliminate landline service for nearly 200,000 California homes and businesses. 🧵

Sending billions to fund an illegal war is slap in the face to families struggling to get by every day. The American people deserve leaders who put the needs of everyday Americans first, not last.

A few months ago, my office teamed up with La Familia Counseling Center to host a passport fair. The response was incredible. So, we've teamed up to do it again!

The House just passed yet another War Powers resolution to end Trump's illegal war with Iran. Now it's off to the Senate. Hopefully they've grown a spine.

This budget resolution sends a clear message. Trump first. Americans last.

Sacramento is one of the most diverse regions in America. Our healthcare system should reflect that diversity. The Health Equity and Accountability Act strengthens language access and culturally responsive care so every patient can understand their diagnosis and get the care they need.

More than 180 industrial facilities have been exempted from key Clean Air Act protections under this administration. Sacramento has fought too hard for cleaner air to let polluters get a free pass. That's why I introduced the No Passes for Polluters Act.

John Lewis was a giant, a dear friend, and one of our nation’s greatest moral leaders. He devoted his life to confronting injustice and inspiring hope. Now more than ever, we must follow his example: “Stand up, speak out, and keep your eyes on the prize.”

Sacramento’s air is shaped by heavy traffic, wildfire smoke, and pollution trapped in the Central Valley.   This week, I secured bipartisan support to advance the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, which helps replace dirty engines in school buses, trucks, farm equipment, and trains. 🧵

My office will be providing office hours tomorrow from 9am-11am at the Elk Grove Food Bank. Let us assist you with any issue you are having with a federal agency.

I co-authored the CHIPS Act to deliver real results for the Sacramento region. That vision is becoming a reality with this $225 million federal investment. Good-paying jobs. Lasting economic prosperity. The future of American manufacturing, built right here at home.

I met with @seiu-uhw.bsky.social today to hear directly from healthcare workers and patient advocates about the impact of H.R. 1. Protecting patients will take action at every level of government. I’m committed to defending Medicaid and stopping Sacramento families from losing access to care.

When the Matsui Center Fellows asked what drove me to public service, my answer was simple: optimism. I believe America, while still the greatest country in the world, can always be even better. Leadership means refusing to surrender to cynicism. 🧵

I sat down with fellows from the Matsui Center at UC Berkeley, and I left the conversation inspired.   The Matsui Center gives students the chance to learn directly from experienced public servants and build the skills to tackle our toughest challenges. And these fellows are making the most of it. 🧵

CalEPIC's innovative approach is making sure people are being placed into the good-paying EV jobs of today while keeping Sacramento at the forefront of transportation technology.   Orville Thomas has done an incredible job growing CalEPIC from an idea into a true force in our region. 🧵

For years, I’ve said that Sacramento has the talent, the ambition, and the drive to lead this country into a clean energy future. Peak Energy is proving that right.   Peak Energy isn’t just building a factory here. 🧵

My office will be providing office hours tomorrow from 11am-1pm at the Sam & Bonnie Pannell Community Center. Let us assist you with any issue you are having with a federal agency.

I had an amazing time joining Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen for great discussions with Young Assemblymember Program participants and Asian and Pacific Islander Capitol Association (APICA) fellows.🧵

The most patriotic thing you can do is the very thing this country was built on in the first place. Show up. Argue it out. Serve your community. But always refuse to give up on each other. That is the promise of America. And that's the spirit I saw tonight in Elk Grove. Happy Fourth of July!

250 years ago, our founding fathers signed their names to an idea. Not a finished product. An idea. That people could govern themselves. That this nation would always be a work in progress, reaching toward what they called “a more perfect union.” 🧵

The Fourth of July Parade in the Pocket was an amazing celebration of our country’s 250th birthday! People coming together, leaders standing side by side, and a diverse community joined in common purpose. That is what America and Sacramento is all about. 🧵

This past week, the House passed my SECURE Grid Act — an important win for Sacramento. This bill improves long-term grid planning to help prevent costly outages, keep electricity affordable, and reduce the damage wildfires and floods can cause to our power grid.🧵

Happy Disability Pride Month! Every July, Disability Pride Month celebrates disability identity, culture, and the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I co-authored the Guardrails Act to repeal Trump's AI order blocking state AI safeguards. Now NTIA is forcing states to choose between broadband funding and the right to regulate AI. When I pressed Assistant Secretary Roth on this overreach, she had no clear answer.

I am co-sponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary of Education Linda McMahon with @repbonamici.bsky.social. She was never qualified to lead the Department of Education, and every decision she has made in office has reinforced that reality.

I've heard from women forced to travel hundreds of miles for abortion care, families faced with impossible decisions, and patients denied the healthcare they need in moments of crisis.

As Co-Chair of the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition, I helped establish the SEEC Institute to expand our coalition’s ability to advance climate, energy, and environmental policy within the House Democratic Caucus. These issues are not idealistic. They are kitchen-table issues. 🧵

The legacy of Music Circus is something we all hold dear. For 75 years, Music Circus has entertained and inspired thousands of people year after year—including me!

The 40 Acres Block Party in Oak Park was fabulous! Thank you to my good friend Cassandra Jennings and everyone at St. HOPE for organizing such an incredible Juneteenth celebration honoring freedom, community, and Black excellence.🧵

Sacramento’s Juneteenth celebration is one of the most important events of the year. It’s not just a joyous gathering, it’s a time for reflection and recommitting ourselves to uplifting Black voices and leaders across our community.🧵
