  While I've been in D.C. voting against President Trump's reckless budget reconciliation bill and defending immigrant communities against attacks as the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee --my team in the district has been hard at work. Take a look at how they've been…

  On the 19th of June, 1865 troops rode into Galveston to announce slavery had ended, more than 2 years after enslaved people of Texas had by law already been freed. Freedom here has never been given to us. It has been claimed, with every generation, by people who refused to wait…

  Communities in West Oakland have been dealing with the health impacts of environmental racism for decades. A coal terminal in their backyards and trains carrying coal along the Bay will only exacerbate an already deadly problem. I am using every tool available to me to stop this…

  Pride was born out of an act of resistance, a fight for liberation. It was, and remains, a movement built by and for those of us who believe a more just, equal, and liberated society is possible.

  I led my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to demand that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prioritize funding for Head Start by withdrawing a proposed rule to repeal higher wages and expanded benefits for Head Start workers.

  Our West Oakland communities have been clear: no coal in Oakland. Today, I filed an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2027 Energy and Water Appropriations bill that would prohibit funding for the proposed Oakland coal export terminal project.

  The Trump administration is claiming fraud in California's elections with no evidence. While Trump points fingers at California, this president is redrawing maps to silence Black voters and take the House by force.

  Republicans called a hearing on immigration, but refused to answer basic questions about the Trump admin’s role in driving chaos, abuse, and state-funded violence. Instead, they resorted to scapegoating immigrants for the economic challenges that the Trump Administration is…

  Devastated to hear of the passing of Lartey Solomon, a nurse, a caregiver, a son, a brother, a father, and a life lost too soon to gun violence.

  During National Gun Violence Awareness Month we are saying loud and clear: it’s time to act. We must strengthen federal gun control regulations and invest in local violence intervention programs. Our communities deserve nothing less.

  The residents of West Oakland are clear, they do not want a coal terminal in their backyard. I will use every tool in the toolbox to fight this reckless and illogical policy and protect communities in West Oakland from further environmental racism.

  Today, I voted against the Republican reconciliation bill, which would provide $70 billion more for the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement machine.
