Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it’s taxpayers who lose.
Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.
The debt ceiling doesn’t keep our national debt down, but it does threaten long-term financial harm. Watch me apply a debt ceiling to everyday life—and see why it doesn’t work.
I’ve never traded stocks while in Congress because I want Californians to be confident I’ll stand up to special interests like Big Pharma. Since my first term, I’ve worked to ban Members from trading stocks. Our coalition is growing, and I’m continuing to push to get this done.
Today, I’m honoring over 2 million women who put their lives on the line to keep our country safe. I am forever grateful for our veterans’ bravery and service, and I’ll always fight to protect women’s rights in the military. #WomenVeteransDay
This month, I’ve had so much fun celebrating our LGBTQI community—including a fantastic gala and concert with Men Alive Chorus. But #pride is also a call to action. I’ll keep calling out attacks on LGBTQI Americans and working to protect everyone’s right to be their true self.

Out-of-touch politicians have no business telling women what we can or can’t do.
It’s been one year since #Dobbs, and I’m continuing to fight like hell to restore Americans’ freedom to choose if and when to have a family.
The bipartisan Presidential Ethics Reform Act would let Americans see for themselves what conflicts of interest our leaders do—or don’t—have.
I answer your top questions about the landmark ethics legislation I introduced last week with @congressmancomer
With climate change, Americans are facing record high temperatures on the job—but there is still no federal guarantee of water breaks for workers in excessive heat. I joined @repcasar to call on @potus to fast track these critical protections.
I stand with the Vietnamese people in their pursuit of liberty and justice. Today, I had the privilege of joining an event with Orange County resident Michael Nguyen, whose release I helped secure after over two years of unjust imprisonment. #VietnamHumanRightsDay
Happy #NationalInternDay! I’m so grateful for hardworking interns in my OC and DC offices, who help me serve Californians.
I always look forward to seeing what these bright young people do next—in fact, a quarter of my full-time staff are former interns from our office!

I enjoyed meeting with MK Merav Michaeli, leader of the Israeli Labor Party, in Washington to follow up after my visit to Israel earlier this year. We reaffirmed the shared values between our countries and our commitment to improving our nations’ democracies.
On #MemorialDay, we remember the brave people who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Last week, I laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of the servicewomen who’ve given their lives.

Today is #NationalTrailsDay! I hope you’ll get outdoors and enjoy our nation’s beautiful trails—like this aptly named one I recently visited in Sequoia National Park.
On @nrdems, I’ve worked to make our trails and parks more accessible for every American.
Today, I visited @nwssealbeach to honor our brave servicemembers and pay respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
On Memorial Day, and every day, we thank our troops and their families for keeping our country safe—and remember those we have lost.
Great to join the Pacific Marine Mammal Center to release five rehabilitated “patients” back into the ocean. Their vital research and veterinary care is a lifeline for aquatic mammals—and a reminder that we need to do more to clean up and protect ocean habitats.
Our changing climate is on Americans’ minds as we experience more extreme weather and rising temperatures. Environmental protection is one of the top five issues Orange County families write me about, which is why I’m excited to host a town hall on the topic this Thursday. RSVP in bio.
