Voting is the foundation of our democracy, and right now, democracy is under unprecedented attack. Ballots in California have started dropping! Exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard. I hope to earn your vote for reelection and continue the good fight in DC.

The Pentagon now reports 140 U.S. troops wounded and 7 dead in the war in Iran. No clear goals. No exit plan. Speaker Johnson, bring Congress back and do your job before more Americans pay the price.

Headed back home to the OC following another great election result in VA. This win appears to be rooted in some part by a big swing from Asian American voters. Now here comes the inevitable GOP attempt to try to overturn a valid election result. Donald Trump and the GOP tried to FA and now they FO.

Vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4th. Our democracy is at stake.

I’m flying back to DC 5 days before the primary because Congress has a duty to demand answers and stand up for victims of abuse. I’ll be in an Oversight hearing with Pam Bondi demanding answers about the Epstein files and DOJ cover-up. As your Congressman, I’ll keep fighting for the rule of law.

Survivors stepping forward matters, but it cannot be a substitute for full disclosure. The burden of transparency should not fall on survivors while the DOJ continues to withhold half the documents.

Watson v. RNC is another example of this hyper-partisan Supreme Court majority abandoning “states’ rights” whenever Republicans dislike the outcome.

This is not the flex Stephen Miller thinks it is. If he's right and Trump actually "calculated" every aspect of this war—soaring energy prices, huge cuts to critical inputs like fertilizer and helium (critical for semiconductors)—and still did it, he is insanely stupid and reckless.

In case Donald Trump and Mike Johnson forgot, the history of this country is rooted in pushing back against authoritarianism. Whether it’s fighting against tyranny in 1776, storming the beaches in Normandy, or protesting today, we will always stand against fascism.

Before questioning Pam Bondi this morning, I joined CNN with a simple message: release the files. More than 2.5 million pages of Epstein-related documents remain hidden from the public. Survivors deserve justice, not revictimization, and Congress has a duty to find out what the DOJ is covering up.

Trump released a last minute video against Thomas Massie. He really wants to defeat the guy who forced him to begin releasing the Epstein files.

Some of the VAs in action, and the gorgeous new lighting.

Trump’s WH wants us to believe he passed his physical with flying colors, yet he can’t tell Venezuela from Iran. Claiming Venezuela has no navy or air force is completely delusional. Biden froze once, but Trump is routinely incoherent. The media is letting this obvious cognitive decline slide!🤦🏾‍♂️
