Congresswoman Lateefah Simon
@replsimon
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.

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!
Today, on the House Floor, I honored Oakland's own Olympic figure skating champion and GOLD MEDALIST, Alysa Liu. You carry the heart and spirit of Oakland everywhere you go - we are so proud of you. Congratulations, Alysa on your incredible accomplishments - and for doing it on your terms.
Eid Mubarak East Bay! Mayor Lee and I are wishing you all a blessed and joyous Eid Al-Fitr with loved ones and family.
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those who call CA-12 home. That is why I’m thrilled to announce half a million dollars for the Cities of Berkeley and Albany that will go towards a new regional fire training facility in the East Bay!
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.
I announced $1 MILLION in federal Community Project Funding for a new Pediatric Blood Disorder Research Center at @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social. In 2014, I lost my husband to a rare blood cancer called T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. A clinical trial gave our family two more years together.
Two incredible women, Mayor Lee and Councilwoman Ramachandran from CA-12 joined me to wish you a happy Women's History Month and to honor the women who came before us.
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.
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.
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.

Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Call your Representative *now* and tell them to demand that the Joint Chiefs of Staff disobey an illegal order. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121 This is not a partisan issue, it's a national issue.

56,000 people will die per year forever because of Mike Lawler's healthcare cuts. This was a choice made by politicians in Washington DC. to put our health at risk. Why did they do this? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world - @alaw202.bsky.social

Good morning, Happy bank holiday Monday. I'm left to my own devices as she is off to Edinburgh for 4 days, leaving me to dog and cat sit. It's certainly a hot one and I don't envy the drive up there as she's just left. I promised not to burn the house down. 😂 Have fun, be kind and love yourself 💚

Erin bent herself into pretzels to come up with her ridiculously horrible opinion that Steyer would be better for LGBTQ+ than Becerra because she liked Steyer’s sound bite. It’s one of most disingenuous opinion pieces I’ve read, besides @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social bs re Steyer on climate.
Gallagher: I was low on confidence, last manager wasnt having me, fans didnt think I was any good. I mentally dealt with that well. Knew I can show fans what I can really do. Hopefully its only the start cause Ive got so much to give & looking forward to build an even better connection with our fans

When elected officials do something blatantly against the public interest, they can be voted out. The same is not true for Philly's school board — so holding them accountable is that much harder, @lisamhaver.bsky.social says:

Energy shocks don’t stop at the gas pump. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social explains how Trump’s war in Iran is driving oil, diesel, and jet fuel prices up — sending costs higher for shipping, food, and other essentials when families are already stretched thin.
