I am so proud to have secured over $11 MILLION in Community Project Funding for 15 projects across the East Bay. Mayor Barbara Lee and Council members Janani Ramachandran and Kevin Jenkins joined me in my office in D.C. to celebrate the 3 projects that the City of Oakland received funding for.

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.
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.
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.
I am proud to announce that I secured over $1 million in Community Project Funding for the East Bay Regional Park District for water quality improvement! This funding is a part of the $11 million I secured for 15 different projects across our district.
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.
Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
As the first congenitally blind member of Congress, bringing disabled voices to the policy making table is extremely important to me. Last week, I hosted a roundtable at the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to hear from and strategize with disability leaders on the most pressing issues.
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!
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.

From today, energy bills will come down. Labour took the decision to bring down bills by asking the wealthiest to pay a little more. That’s the fair thing to do. We know there’s more to do to tackle the cost of living but this is an important step.
