In 2023, cheaper alternatives to the drug Humira came to market, but pharmacy benefit managers like CVS steered patients to the more expensive brand name anyway. Why? Because they got billions in kickbacks. I used my whiteboard to confront these CEOs. 👇
On @nrdems, I sounded the alarm on a toxic pollutant—6PPD-quinone—that is rapidly killing salmon populations. Last week, I heard firsthand how conservationists in @olympic_nps and Puget Sound are working to address this pollution and restore a healthy marine ecosystem.
Whether serving our country in the National Guard, championing policies that help families as Governor, or testifying before Congress, @mngovernor is really good at what he does. A few years ago, we discussed why our schools—not Wall Street—need more help.
Last year, 18 million households struggled to put enough food on the table. No one should ever go hungry in America. This #HungerActionMonth—and every month—local food banks like @SHFBOC are helping feed families all across the country—and they always need volunteers!
Happy #NationalParkService Day! 108 years ago, @nationalparkservice was created to protect and care for our national parks and public lands. Their hard work makes our parks so enjoyable to visit. Don’t forget to thank a ranger on your next trip!

The Coast Guard works tirelessly to save lives, uphold the rule of law in the world’s oceans, and protect our environment. I recently visited @USCG Los Angeles/Long Beach to learn more about the critical role they play. Thanks for the tour—and for letting me drive the boat!

I stopped by @alphamotorinc to learn more about their electric vehicle development and how they’re making EVs more accessible for every American. Orange County is lucky to be home to so many innovative small businesses that drive competition and strengthen our economy.

Americans deserve leaders that put public interest above their self-interests, and @SenDaveMin and I are both fighting to end corruption. Earlier this month, we called on the Assembly to pass his bill that would help prevent self-dealing. Now, it’s headed to the Governor’s desk.
Today, @NatResources Republicans dishonestly argued their bill would “streamline” environmental and community review of federal projects—and by streamline, they actually mean totally eliminate. We need a bipartisan approach to update the permitting process, not partisan games.
NOAA is cool! It was great to stop by @NOAA Day on the Hill to thank this critical agency for their research, monitoring, and advocacy that keeps Americans safe and helps us respond to climate change.
I visited @johnwayneair to announce a new grant from @faa that will help replace some of the airport’s aging infrastructure. I’m proud to bring our taxpayer dollars back to Orange County and make our airport more reliable.

Our public lands are national treasures, but House Republicans recently voted to slash @nationalparkservice’s budget. Park rangers keep visitors safe, protect wildlife, and help preserve our beautiful national parks for all to enjoy. Congress should have their backs.
Young people have just as much of a stake in our country’s future as anyone else, so it’s important their voices are heard. It was great to stop by Uni High to talk with students about my work in Congress and hear their thoughts on the top issues facing our nation.
It was great to see Twelfth Night at New Swan Shakespeare Festival on @UCIrvine’s campus. Congratulations to the cast, crew, and workers who put on a phenomenal show—and thanks for inviting me backstage!

When government listens to polluters instead of people, we get policies that line Big Oil’s pockets instead of protecting communities’ health. Thank you @envirovoters, Councilmember Dan Kalmick, and Councilmember Natalie Moser for a discussion about how solving climate change means safeguarding democracy.
