This week, the Department of Defense made the dangerous decision to stop transmitting hurricane forecast data, putting families across the country at risk just as we get into hurricane season.

I’m dropping off my ballot. Have you voted yet? Make a plan to vote early, return your ballot at an official drop box, or vote in person on Election Day, June 2nd! You can find ballot drop box locations and other information at LAVote.gov.
The recent cuts to science agencies pose a real and present danger to our communities, as they threaten everything from cancer research to our ability to monitor climate threats like wildfire.
I will always stand up for access to Social Security, health care, and SNAP, for everyone in my district who depends on these vital programs. I spoke with @bluesboysteve.bsky.social on the @practivistpod.bsky.social to talk about the real impacts of recent federal attacks against these services.
My reaction to the news about the leaked Signal chats by senior members of the Trump Administration’s national security team:
Over 240,000 of my constituents rely on Medicaid to access health care. I joined the CEO of Northeast Valley Health Corporation, Kim Wyard, to discuss how essential Medicaid is to her organization’s life-saving work.
After the Rules Committee rejected my amendment to protect Medicaid, I proposed blocking cuts to Medicaid and SNAP on the House floor.
I’m back in D.C. ready to work with anyone to reverse the GOP’s extreme health care cuts and pass a budget that lowers costs for American families.
I just walked out of the Senate where I listened to @booker.senate.gov hold the floor and speak on behalf of the American people — I encourage everyone to tune in now!
Today, I signed a petition that would force a vote to protect Medicaid and SNAP. Hundreds of thousands of people in my district rely on these programs to meet their basic needs, including accessing health care and putting food on the table.
It’s past midnight, and House Republicans have called us back to the Capitol to vote on their budget that rips health care, food assistance, educational opportunities, and more basic needs away from millions of Americans.
Rep. Thomas Massie just called out AIPAC for trying to bully Congress into voting their way, saying it's a referendum on whether Israel can "dictate" US foreign policy. He's one of the few who hasn't been intimidated by them so far. Credit: @tommyjusa.bsky.social | Source #IsraelLobby
I know from my personal experience and conversations in New Jersey: members of the Sandwich Generation are everywhere. We need support. Conversations like this is where that starts.
We were in the House until 2:30 a.m. last night because of GOP mismanagement of FISA—the law that governs U.S. surveillance authorities. Rushing something this serious through in the dead of night isn’t governing. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.
Americans are being CRUSHED by soaring energy prices. What are Republicans doing about it? Sabotaging clean energy that would help lower your bills—including using $2 BILLION in taxpayer money to stop offshore wind projects already in progress. WHAT!?!? Their priorities are COMPLETELY twisted.
Politics shouldn’t be this complicated. You should be able to see everything clearly.
Trump says the federal government doesn’t have any money to fund child care & health care. But he has no problem cutting those programs to fund another war in the Middle East.

The cruelty is the point. Dreamers and DACA recipients have lived here, married here, had kids here, and contributed here for years. I’ve spent 20+ years fighting for Dreamers. I will spend the rest of my time in the Senate continuing that fight.
An Israeli unit's "homecoming" party featured their well-documented annihilation of southern Lebanon's villages, met with cheers and laughter from crowds of soldiers, their relatives, and family members. It is a scene impossible to see anywhere but Israel. 👉🏼Barbarism is the hallmark of the IDF👿👇🏼
Hanan retained the white belt after her unspectacular opponent failed to win with a renamed (lol) version of Manami Toyota’s Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex. Hanan then nominated her wing★gori tag partner and STARS stablemate, Saya Iida, as the next challenger! Beautiful work. #STARDOM
My opponent is using his vast personal wealth to try to buy a seat in Congress. I’m not worth hundreds of millions like he is, but what I do have is decades of real experience delivering for San Francisco. Being hyper-rich can buy you a lot of things, but it shouldn’t be able to buy you an election.

Australia banned social media for kids under 16 — and as a child psychiatrist, I think the conversation is missing something critical. #TeenMentalHealth #SocialMedia #DrSam #ParentingTeens
Black Fact = 1811 (Feb. 24) - Daniel Alexander Payne, educator and pastor in the AME Church, was born on this date in 1811. Payne helped the church start schools such as Wilberforce University (1856), the oldest black private liberal arts university. He served as its first president. #theraydiotwins

Another power play goal for the Griffins as they take a commanding lead in this elimination game with the Moose.
Moose had possession but the Griffins ability and willingness to block shots comes up big. They stop the Brad Lambert shot and put it into the empty net to take a 4-2 lead.
