Honored to join @LACoSheriff Robert Luna, @NathanHochmanDA, and members of the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs in Washington, D.C. for a night of celebration and remembrance during National Police Week. We thank the brave men and women of law enforcement for their service.

With wildfires already ablaze across Southern California, I passed an amendment to bring greater federal investment into wildfire research. Wildfires are a real, present threat that require a comprehensive, advanced response. We can do that by improving our sensing and prevention measures.

The future of American energy is being shaped by the next generation. It was great chatting with the Fusion Student Delegation, including a student from the Santa Clarita Valley who is now conducting cutting-edge research at UCLA!

Everyone agrees we have a housing crisis. What people are tired of is Congress talking about it without doing anything. Today, Democrats and Republicans in the House came together to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — a major bipartisan step to cut red tape, build more homes, and bring down housing costs in California and across the country. Now the Senate needs to act and send this bill to the President’s desk.

🚨 You may have missed this: Senate Republicans tried to put $1 billion in taxpayer money into a bill to help pay for Trump’s ballroom. A Senate ruling just blocked it. The fact they tried tells you everything you need to know.

Thank you, Art and Ashton from Trilogy Media for coming to DC and sharing your important work. Your advocacy helps show just how devastating and personal scams are for millions across the country. Scammers don’t care about politics, and stopping them shouldn’t be partisan either. I’m proud to be working on legislation that will establish a one stop shop office for scam prevention so we finally have a coordinated federal response to this growing crisis. Grateful for your partnership and the work you do to protect people every day! Now let’s get to work!

A huge thank you to @Rep_Whitesides for not only inviting us to Washington — but for actually doing something about this scam epidemic. In a time when it feels like nothing in politics can bring people together, scams somehow manage to do exactly that. Democrats, Republicans, Independents — everybody has a parent, a grandparent, a neighbor, or a friend who has gotten that call. Nobody is exempt. Nobody is on the wrong side of this issue. Rep. Whitesides is fighting to establish a National Fraud and Scam Prevention Office, because right now there is no single place in the U.S. government whose entire job is to take on scams. $21 billion lost last year and we don't even have an office for it. He invited us into his world, gave us a seat at the table, and treated a couple of YouTubers from LA like our decade of work actually meant something. It did mean something to us. More than we can put into words. We're not politicians. We are not a political channel. We work with people who help us raise awareness and put scammers behind bars - regardless what side they're on. Thank you, Congressman. We won't let you down. 🫡

Thanks to the Environmental Defense Fund for talking about the importance of investing in clean energy, protecting public health, and strengthening community resilience. From wildfire prevention to safer drinking water, these are issues that directly impact families across CA-27.

Thousands of Americans had their hard-earned savings stolen from them last year due to the rise of scams. We need more coordination at the federal level to respond to these threats, and better public education on how to spot scams.

We've been to some wild places chasing scammers. Nigeria. India. Culver City sewers (shoutout to f'in JACK). But nothing quite prepared us for the U.S. Capitol. We spent the entire day inside those walls, meeting with congressional staffers, briefing lawmakers, and standing in front of the whole country to say: scammers are winning right now, and that needs to change. Absolutely surreal. Thank you again to @Rep_Whitesides for giving us a seat at the table.

Thanks to Ashton and Art from @TrilogyMediaInc for joining us in D.C. yesterday to raise awareness about scams targeting Americans. It will take all of us, working together, to hold bad actors accountable and combat the growing scam crisis impacting everyone.

Ten years ago: cracked iPhone prank calls. Yesterday: speaking to Congress in front of the U.S. Capitol. We joined @Rep_Whitesides at the Stop Scams Caucus on National Scam Survivor Day with members of Congress, survivors, and @Kitboga. $21B lost to scams last year. It won't go down by itself. New videos. A documentary. The right people are paying attention. Squad — you got us here. We will never forget that. 🫡

Palmdale continues to be the center of aerospace and innovation. Thanks to @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman for stopping by @LockheedMartin‘s Skunk Works to see firsthand the integral role we play in defense and aerospace nationwide. I’m proud to represent such hardworking men and women in Congress, as they continue to advance aerospace manufacturing and innovation in space.

This week, we hosted @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman at Skunk Works®, where decades of breakthrough innovation have taken shape and the X-59 was built. It was a privilege to showcase the talent, ingenuity and momentum driving the future.

Last year, the FBI estimates that Americans lost $21 BILLION to scams, and that's only what was publicly reported. On National Scam Survivors Day, I brought together scam survivors, advocates @Kitboga and @trilogymediainc’s Art and Ashton, and members of the Stop Scams Caucus to fight back against scammers. We have to do more to protect peoples’ hard-earned savings from scammers, and hold bad actors accountable.

I led the introduction of the Community Oriented Policing Services program this week, which fully funds a program for local departments who need to hire more officers. Well-funded local police means officers who live in our communities, send their kids to our schools, and understand how to keep our area safe.

I had the opportunity to meet with the Artemis II astronauts at the U.S. Capitol this week with the @ScienceDems Committee! It was great to celebrate their historic mission, traveling farther into deep space than humankind has ever gone before. This was an incredibly exciting moment and their journey into space continues to be an inspiration for so many back home!
