My heart is with the families and loved ones of Amin, Mansour, Nadir and the entire San Diego Muslim community. May Allah grant peace to their souls. We must use this moment to find a new way forward. We all have a responsibility to call out the normalization of islamaphobic rhetoric.

It was wonderful to join Dr. Pineda & the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to celebrate their 54th anniversary and be with so many leaders, activists, and mentors. The CIL's work and partnership has been invaluable for me as I continue the long fight for disability justice in Congress.
Ever wonder what your congresswoman does in a day? Spend a day with me in Washington, D.C. introducing legislation to protect workers and minority-owned small businesses, meeting with stakeholders, and attending a joint-session of Congress!
To wrap up small business week, I visited and held a roundtable with a few minority-owned small business owners from the Yemeni community in Temescal to hear about the unique challenges minority-owned small businesses face, to hear about their innovative ideas, and to try some delicious food!
This week, I introduced the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act. This legislation was developed in partnership with my colleague @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and incredible community partners like @only1tinisch.bsky.social with Californians for Safety and Justice.
The health of our communities is directly linked to our environments, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million dollars in federal Community Project Funding to the City of San Leandro for clean water infrastructure and new recreation opportunities for local residents.
Care work is the quiet engine of this country. As co-chair of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Caregiving Task Force, I am proud to join my colleagues to introduce a Congressional Resolution designating April as "Care Workers Recognition Month" to commit ourselves to caring for those who care for us.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my town hall with @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social and shared your concerns and priorities. Your voices and stories are the very center and focus of my work here and in Washington.
The last time the federal minimum wage was raised was 2009. For too long, our economy has relied on underpaying the very workers who keep this country running. That harm has fallen hardest on women, workers with disabilities, tipped workers, Black and brown workers, and working families.
Last summer, the VA abruptly stopped 2 projects that would’ve expanded access to healthcare & services for veterans in the Bay Area. I immediately joined @pelosi.house.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and @padilla.senate.gov to demand answers from the Administration. After months of fighting, we got a WIN.
We are on Day 77 of Trump's illegal and inhumane war. He is endangering the lives of civilians, shattering every global alliance we have built, and raising costs for Americans with a $29 billion dollar war. I will not support or give a dime to the President's senseless war in Iran.
I've realized just how powerful women are after seeing firsthand their ability to navigate complex situations with ease, something I don't think men can do in the same way. Source #Empowerment #Equality #Respect #Women #Power
1/2 www.instagram.com/reel/DYhxDPg... I was just asked if we are losing this fight against the Data Centers. The answer is yes. We can still win but we need everyone who values our environment and health to speak up. We need everyone to show up to City Council meetings, to contact their

Donald Trump's repeated threats of war crimes against Iran, including targeting every child, baby, pregnant woman, and person, have been dismissed by the world due to his history of empty pronouncements. #DonaldTrump #Iran #WarCrimes #EmptyThreats #Politics

A California woman who filmed extreme BDSM content for OnlyFans accepted a plea deal after a client died from asphyxiation during a bondage session inside his home. She now faces prison time. #reels #viral #CaughtOnCamera #crimenews #Trending
If this is the art of the deal, DEAL US OUT. Trump claimed that: - He'd end the war in Ukraine — still going - China pays the tariffs — we've paid $200B - Iran War wrapped in 2 days — we're at 27. He knows how to get in — but he certainly doesn’t know how to finish.
Phil Collins released his era-defining debut album, 1981’s “Face Value” #OnThisDay, 45 years ago. What started as home demos in the wake of a divorce and hiatus from Genesis, became a worldwide phenomenon that sold over 12 million copies worldwide, launched Phil’s legendary solo career.

GB News cheers Milburn's welfare critique. But the crown's true cost? Over £1.5bn a year. Andrew's security alone could fund 3,000 nurses. The Duchy's billions could wipe student debt. They'll tell truths – just not the expensive ones. 👑

❄️ Yea… NO! ❄️ I am not a fan of the snow. Me and the snow do not get along. We are not friends at all. Never have been and never will be. I’ll take a thunderstorm before I take a goddamn blizzard! 😩 I am so sorry for the people who had to go out to work in this.

On the one hand, I have zero faith in Texas because it is objectively the worst state. On the other, I’m with my man Ivan here when it comes to what needs to happen to the GOP for the next 7 generations.
