Today we celebrate Native American Day in California. It’s a day to uplift Native culture and achievements, acknowledge the great suffering Native peoples have endured, and honor their resilience and all that they’ve passed down.

Trump is so determined to cover up his corruption that he’s decided to abandon the First Amendment entirely. It is unlawful and unconstitutional, and he must be held accountable. I’m grateful to see this strong display of solidarity from our independent news sources. nytimes.com/2026/09/21/busin…

A resident reached out to my office for help renewing their Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) case. Thanks to my staff’s immediate action, their VR&E case was finally transferred to a local counselor. If you live in CA-31 and need help with a federal agency, call my district office at 626-646-0369.

This week, I joined my colleagues in the @HispanicCaucus to condemn the Trump administration’s costly mass deportation campaign. ICE is straining our workforce and hurting our local economies. The American people shouldn’t be paying the price for this administration’s cruelty. It’s time to end the ICE tax.

Southern California families and small businesses shouldn’t foot the bill for data centers.
Yesterday, I joined my colleagues to pass a bipartisan, commonsense legislation that would take necessary steps to ensure large corporations are responsible for the costs of data center construction and operation. politico.com/news/2026/09/16…

On this day in 1787, our Founding Fathers came together to protect our freedoms and secure our rights by signing the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia. 239 years later, I’m committed to carrying on their legacy in the halls of Congress by honoring the values they believed in: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. May we always fight to fulfill the promise of America.
