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.

Building communities where our babies, elders, families are safe is a top priority. That starts with resources, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million in federal Community Project Funding to the City of Oakland's Department of Violence Prevention for Operation Ceasefire-Lifeline.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Robert Smith was primarily the guitarist for the band (then known as Easy Cure), and he was quite reluctant to take over the microphone. While we now know him as one of the most iconic frontmen in rock history, the 1977 lineup actually featured a different lead singer.

Even though the Spurs give up the offensive rebound, this is a really good defensive possession, look at the rotation from the Spurs.

“Pro-EU” Gordana Čomić still believes that the 2008 decision to hand over NIS to the Kremlin was a “good” one. She also maintains that Serbia’s 2006 Constitution “should not be changed.” Today, we have similar figures who present themselves to the Serbian public as so-called “pro-EU opposition.” 👇

Me every time I hear or read the words “Jeff Probst”:

"[Donald Trump] was too cowardly to testify at the trial to counter E. Jean Carroll's testimony ... This BS investigation has nothing to do with her testimony that was unrebutted at trial about having been penetrated by Donald Trump's hand."

Universities love celebrating activists of the past—but they get nervous when we praise the ones of today. My take on Prof. Derek Peterson's controversial graduation speech at Michigan.

"Over course of the night you should have seen 2 crosses in which the NE would have had a surge for Harris then seen a switch as FL votes, rust belt came in, then another switch when west coast reported We didn't see that. What we saw was programmatic steady percentage throughout the night "
