By shutting down the government and refusing to seat Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson is now part of this White House cover-up.
He's choosing Trump over the American public—specifically the 812,000 people in Adelita's district who have no voice in Congress.
Release the files.
The former Exide Technologies facility exposed the Southeast LA community to dangerous levels of lead & toxins. While the Trump Admin let Exide walk free, we must ensure this never happens again. I'll keep fighting for its superfund designation so our community can have justice.
Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas and must follow international law in their response. Palestinian and Israeli lives have equal value. I support a humanitarian pause in order to prioritize rescuing hostages and getting food, water and aid to civilians.
As a former Mayor, I’m proud to have submitted funding for these 15 incredible projects.
From parks to educational facilities to affordable housing for seniors, these projects are transformational for our communities.

We need the @EPA to lead and actively engage in the Exide enviornmental disaster. These communities deserve justice and it’s clear that only the federal government has the capacity to resolve this crisis.
“It is clear that only the federal government has the capacity to resolve this crisis,” wrote Rep. Robert Garcia of Long Beach and California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla in a letter Thursday to EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. https://t.co/Ypf8CKThiM

Safe, accessible, and affordable transportation is a basic right.
It’s essential we connect our Southeast and Gateway communities to Downtown and the rest of L.A. County.
In case y’all didn’t know, these buses are coming straight to Long Beach and @lbtransit to grow our electric fleet. Thank you @VP Kamala Harris for touring and sitting in our new electric buses.
Enough is enough. We just filed an official resolution to expel George Santos from Congress. It’s time for Republicans to get on board and join us in removing this fraud from the House.
Despite calls from George Santos’ own constituents + Republican colleagues, Kevin McCarthy refuses to act. So while GOP leadership remains silent, we are stepping up to introduce an expulsion resolution to ensure that the House of Representatives is worthy of the public’s trust.
As former mayor of Long Beach, I witnessed first-hand the lifesaving precautions that allowed our city and its economy to survive the pandemic. That's why I'm committed to fighting mistruths, myths, and conspiracy theories spread by MAGA Republicans with @OversightDems.
My mom served our country through her work as a frontline healthcare worker, and in the summer of 2020, she lost her life to COVID-19. I made a promise to her and my community to fight for legislation that would protect them and keep them healthy, and I won’t break it.
Proud to announce @USDOT has awarded over $21 million to the Florence-Firestone community in LA County to make roadway infrastructure improvements!
This investment and those like it are exactly what we need so that our communities can continue to grow. LFG!
Last week, @HouseGOP passed a new bill that will raise prices at the pump by taking away one of our best tools to lower spiking gas prices.
Americans will take note of their efforts to give Big Oil handouts while leaving working Americans out to dry.
