I’ve said it before, and I will continue to say it: Mifepristone is safe, effective, and access to it is a right. While the recent SCOTUS order is a victory, it’s temporary. And I will not stop fighting until access is fully restored.

Trump’s reckless war in Iran has cost taxpayers at least $29 billion. He was being honest when he said "I don't think about Americans” financial situation. That’s why I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution. This war is devastating the American economy. We must prioritize families that are already struggling because of Trump's affordability crisis.

Who inspires our CAPAC members this AANHPI Heritage Month? From trailblazers to loved ones, our members are thinking of those who made sacrifices and helped pave the way for greater opportunity, representation, and success for AANHPI communities across our nation.

Taiwan was excluded from the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference in Cameroon, forced to participate under official visas that list it as a "Province of China," or sit out of the conference they have full and equal participation in. The implication that Taiwan is not a WTO member in its own right is unacceptable. I'm leading a bipartisan letter with @RepLindaSanchez & @RepAdrianSmith demanding answers for Taiwan’s exclusion to ensure this does not happen again.

On July 9, FEMA's Individuals and Households Program (IHP) for the Eaton and Palisades Fires will expire. This is a critical lifeline that has already provided $157 million in federal assistance to our community. Yet today, 2 out of 3 survivors have not returned home, with half expecting their temporary housing insurance to expire by the end of this year. Our neighbors are struggling to recover, forced to delay medical care, skip meals, and miss payments.
 That’s why I joined @Day1DO & Eaton Fire Collaborative to urge FEMA to approve the IHP extensions requested by Governor Newsom. I will not stop fighting until our community has everything they need to fully recover and heal.

Art is a powerful way to explore complex problems, and I am so proud to showcase our local talent. Congratulations to our artists!

This past weekend I had the honor of announcing the CA-28 winners of the 17th Annual Artistic Discovery Competition. Our 1st place winner Jasmine Ung's artwork, "Marching for Justice & Equality," will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol.

🚨BREAKING: This stay has been extended until Thursday at 5 PM. As we continue the watch for updates, we hope you will stay informed and engaged with us. This fight is far from over.

Gas prices in America are up more than 50% since the Iran War started. Californians are paying $6.16 a gallon. Instead of doing anything about it, Trump is asking for $1 billion taxpayer dollars to fund his luxury ballroom. nbcnews.com/politics/white…

🚨Today is the final day of #SCOTUS' stay in Louisiana v. FDA. As we watch for updates, catch up on this case and its implications for medication abortion access 👇

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we honor the mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers who shape our families and communities with strength and compassion. Your impact is immeasurable, and I will continue working to ensure moms everywhere have the support they need to succeed.

Our AANHPI community faces some of the lowest rates of mental health service utilization of any racial or ethnic group in the country. As @CAPAC Chair Emerita, I am honored to lead @RepJillTokuda, @RepStricklandWA, @DorisMatsui, and @maziehirono in introducing a resolution recognizing May 10th as National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Mental Health Day. While Trump continues to slash staff and funding for minority mental health services, we must recommit ourselves to expanding access to mental health care and support for our communities.

In 1960, the FDA approved “the Pill”, marking a significant milestone in reproductive health and freedom. Now, 66 years later, rights to contraception are under attack. Abortion care is health care, and being able to make health care decisions about your own body is a fundamental right. As Chair of the Contraception Task Force for @ReproCaucus & the Reproductive Health Care Task Force for @DemWomensCaucus, I will continue to fight for this right.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As the only psychologist in Congress, I will continue to fight for affordable and accessible mental health care. If you or someone you know is struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help. chhs.ca.gov/suicide-preven…

As #SmallBusinessWeek comes to an end, we should be celebrating the entrepreneurs and local businesses that strengthen our communities. Instead, Trump’s harmful tariffs are forcing many small business owners to make painful decisions about layoffs, raising prices, and whether they can keep their doors open. Small businesses are vital to the American economy. That’s why I’ll keep fighting to expand access to capital and ensure underserved businesses are supported.

Last year, I pressed Trump's Social Security Administration on why they removed a bunch of customer service performance metrics from their website. Without this transparency, SSA is only continuing to underperform and harm the tens of millions of Americans who rely on them.   I'll keep fighting to fix this customer service crisis and ensure taxpayers get the timely Social Security benefits they’ve earned.

To all of our dedicated public servants: you are the backbone of the services we depend on, and we are grateful for your work to keep our food safe, our Veterans cared for, and our communities running. As a member of the @Labor_Caucus, I will keep fighting back against Trump’s continued attacks on hard-working civil servants and the services Americans rely on. #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek

Freedom of speech is the First Amendment to the US Constitution because it’s the foundation of our democracy. It’s not an afterthought. I joined @RepJudyChu, @RepLouCorrea, @heathergtv, @jerrodzisser1, & @lisandravcomedy to outline how Democrats plan to protect free speech. 🧵
