I hear from worried constituents every day about this proposed mega-merger. I take those concerns seriously, and have been demanding a robust and independent review based on the law. We’ve all seen what nonstop consolidation has done to our industry, to workers, and to our economy.

I appreciate VICA’s annual Congressional Breakfast. It's a chance to report back on what I've been fighting for in D.C. for our community and our local businesses. Standing up to ICE raids. Pushing back on tariffs that hit local employers. And bringing film production back to American shores.

Young Angelenos struggle to afford rent, and overwhelmingly believe they will never be able to afford a home. That’s why bringing down housing costs means so much to me. If we untangle the red tape around housing, we can give the next generation a better shot at the American dream.

Our democracy doesn’t work if TV licenses are yanked and journalists are silenced for reporting the truth. That’s why I've been leading the charge to pry this administration’s unconstitutional claws off our airwaves and press.

Hosting the World Cup taught us a lot about the demands we should expect for LA28. Top of the list: transit that works when the whole world shows up. So I got to work and secured an investment for shade at bus stops and real-time rider info. Small things that make a hot, crowded commute bearable.

For LA Tenants facing housing issues, the LA Tenant Resource Clinic is there for those facing eviction or who want info about available public benefit programs. You can register for in-person or remote clinics with a QR code. More info below:

When I visited @eastersealssocal.bsky.social, an organization that provides disability services in my district as well as nationwide, they said it best: disability is not a dirty word. (1/2)

I talk about transit-oriented housing... a lot. But what is it exactly, and why do we need it? Here’s your quick crash course on why it’s commonsense to build where we’ve already invested in transit:

Ask most people who's becoming homeless in LA, and most will guess wrong. It's seniors. We can fix this and it starts with building more affordable housing.   @535news.bsky.social

California is a world-wide destination for our spectacular wildlands. July is National Parks and Recreation Month, and I can’t imagine a better time to get out and explore all of CA’s amazing resources. (1/2)

Brendan Carr’s op-ed is so self-defeating it demolishes its own argument. He just wants to let massive corporations and billionaires control even more of what you see on your local news. It's the opposite of the local, independent news he claims to be saving. Don't buy it.

When studios merge, we hear a lot about "efficiencies." What that could mean: lost jobs, fewer productions, empty soundstages, and higher prices. And it's not just people behind the camera. The coffee shops, the caterers, the dry cleaners, and so many other businesses, feel it too.

The Trump Administration has defanged our federal regulators. That’s why Attorneys General like AG @robbonta.bsky.social have to step in to give this mega-merger the scrutiny it deserves. (1/3)

How much will this Administration’s carelessness cost Americans? I demanded an answer from Trump’s Energy Secretary. Republicans want to restart a dangerously leaky oil pipeline off the coast of California – one that has already caused an environmental disaster. (1/2)

In LA, we know how important it is to be prepared for the worst. I got to learn from Hal Frank and Jaden from Boy Scout Troop 55 just exactly how important amateur radio is when disasters strike. Take a listen to these pros and learn things you never knew about ham radio!:

Local radio clubs aren’t just for hobbyists. Every year, these clubs get together, joined by law enforcement and fire departments, to showcase ways that radio communication technology helps save lives when disaster strikes.

We literally just passed the most impactful housing affordability bill in decades - AND worked with Congressional Republicans on it - but this is what your boss thinks of it:

We have a housing crisis in America – one that is locking families out of both physical homes and the dreams and security that come with having a roof over your head.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! Today, I am grateful to those who have fought for the values of our country: freedom, liberty, democracy, equality, and opportunity.

Trump thinks your ability to put a roof over your head is a “big yawn.” It’s not a yawn in LA. Housing is a crisis. That’s why I’ve spent my entire career championing policies to make housing more affordable and available.

Red checkered tables, awesome food, and even better company – Sabrina’s Pizzeria Napoletana has it all. And they just celebrated their first year in Montrose! I dropped by to celebrate with the family running this gem.

Thanks to Trump’s failed policies and Congressional Republicans’ inaction, in a few years Golden State seniors could see their hard-earned Social Security benefits slashed by $490 – a month! That's a 24% cut. Rent money and groceries – gone. That’s unacceptable. (1/2)

BREAKING: The House just passed my bill, and it honors a man who embodied the American spirit. Paul Ignatius was the son of Armenian immigrants who fled persecution overseas. When World War II came, he didn't hesitate to serve.

What’s better than one K’arsi? Two K’arsis! The Armenian family behind the beloved Glendale bakery just opened their second location in downtown Burbank, which I got to visit. Whether you love lavash or just want to explore the magical world of Armenian pastries, K’arsi is the place to go. (1/2)

57 years ago today, LGBTQ Americans and their allies fought back at Stonewall, ushering in a new dawn for LGBTQ visibility and rights across the country. This year, when those same rights are under attack, let’s pledge to never go back to those dark days.

As Congress’ unofficial Thrifting and Vintage Ambassador, it’s my privilege to highlight businesses that help upcycle beautiful treasures from yesteryear for today’s generations. Junk for Joy has been doing that for 50 years. (1/2)

I represent a community of creators and artists in my district, so I understand exactly how important it is to have control over your own voice and image. With the advancement of AI, we need new laws for new realities. (1/2)

My second Passport Fair at Pan Pacific Park was a smashing success! Thank you to all those that came, told their friends and family, and got their passport needs taken care of, including thirty kids who got their first-ever passports. (1/2)

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Overnight, the rights that generations of women had organized, marched and sacrificed for were no longer guaranteed. (1/2)
