While hardworking Americans struggle to afford groceries, President Trump and Republicans are pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into a war with Iran instead of lowering costs here at home. At a time when families need relief, this is a clear misplacement of priorities. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Over the past year, Republicans gutted health care, slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid & the ACA, kicking 15 million Americans off coverage, and driving up costs for millions more.

Yesterday at @WaysMeansCmte, the reality was clear: when people can’t afford care, they don’t just wait, they get sicker. Untreated diabetes and high blood pressure can lead to kidney failure, but routine care can prevent it. Skip care today, face dialysis tomorrow. That’s the cost of losing coverage.

Essential workers at TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard & CISA have gone a month with no pay. All because Republicans refuse to negotiate a DHS funding plan that stops Trump’s inhumane & rogue mass deportation agenda. That’s why I’m joining @HouseDemocrats to sign a discharge petition to force a vote & ensure American workers are getting paid.

Women helped build this country. Yet their stories are often still missing from museums, the very places meant to reflect on our past. That’s why I’m helping lead the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act. Now Republicans are trying to hijack it. Trump wants to control the Museum's content and location, blowing up years of bipartisan collaboration. It’s blatantly wrong, but the @DemWomenCaucus and I will not back down.

This rushed, chaotic process puts critical funding at risk and threatens care for the millions who rely on Title X. We cannot allow these delays to jeopardize basic reproductive health care. HHS must act now. To learn more visit: chu.house.gov/media-center/p…

Title X plays a critical role in keeping communities healthy by providing access to birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing. But after months of delay, HHS failed to release funding guidance. When they did, they dropped it late on a Friday, giving providers just one week to apply.

Reproductive health care is essential health care. As Chair of the Contraception Task Force for @ReproCaucus and the Reproductive Health Care Task Force for @DemWomensCaucus, I joined my colleagues in urging @HHSgov to immediately fund Title X and protect access to critical family planning and sexual health care.

“These young people grew up here, they went to school here, they built their lives here, & this is their home, but the Trump administration has spent the past year waging war on all immigrants” Thank you, @RepJudyChu, for standing up for Dreamers.

Congratulations to all of the Asian American athletes who represented Team USA at the Paralympics! These athletes broke barriers and delivered performances that were nothing short of extraordinary. Our nation is so proud of you! 🥇❄️

The Trump Admin has been waging war on all immigrants, including those who have legal status. That’s why we must pass our bill, the American Dream and Promise Act of 2025, to provide a pathway to citizenship for more than 2 million Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status, and Deferred Enforced Departure status holders.   We must protect ALL of our immigrant communities.

Today, I stood with @CAPAC, @chsadc & @TheBlackCaucus to condemn Trump’s vile targeting of Dreamers & DACA recipients across the country.    Just in the past year, ICE has arrested 261 DACA recipients. These young people grew up here. This is their home.

Yesterday marked five years since the Atlanta spa shootings, when eight lives were taken in a heinous act of anti-Asian hate. On this anniversary, I joined @CAPAC in introducing a resolution recognizing their lives and our continued fight for our communities. We must recommit ourselves to standing with AANHPI communities, rejecting xenophobia, and building a country where no one lives in fear because of who they are.

The court was right to block RFK Jr.’s reckless effort to rewrite the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule — including eliminating the Hep B birth dose. That shot protects newborns from a lifelong, deadly disease. Public health must be based on science, not misinformation.

The latest whistleblower at Social Security makes it clear that ‘DOGE’ is mishandling data for personal gain and putting your privacy at risk. Commissioner Bisignano doesn't think he has to answer for these criminal allegations. @RepRichardNeal and I won't let him pass the buck.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the six crew members who tragically lost their lives. Their deaths bring the number of American service members killed in the war with Iran to thirteen, a devastating loss for our nation and for the loved ones they leave behind. No family should have to endure this kind of heartbreak. This reckless war must end.

The vile and disgusting rhetoric from sick individuals like Randy Fine and Tommy Tuberville is disgraceful. Hate directed at the Muslim community and Mayor Mamdani has no place in America. It is deeply unpatriotic. Islamophobia is a cancer that must be eradicated from both the Congress and the Country. The shocking silence from Republican leadership is deafening.

In a letter to the editor in the @latimes, ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker explains how the PETSAFE Act will help communities prepare and care for pets when disaster strikes, thanking @RepJudyChu & @SenAdamSchiff for championing this bill. lat.ms/4dkwS2K

In the span of one week, two people died at the hands of the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. That marks the fourth death at Adelanto since Trump took office. Irvin Cruz-Nape was wrongfully admitted to Adelanto because ICE mistook him for someone else. He had chest pains while in detention but ICE refused to treat him. He was finally released but it was too late: he died days later. He was 44 years old and leaves behind four children. Irvin should still be alive. Adelanto must close now. pasadenastarnews.com/2026/03/11/sec…
