Are you and your family being affected by the rising cost of health care? Was your small business impacted by Trump’s reckless tariffs? Are you no longer able to afford groceries due to cuts to SNAP benefits?

I want to hear your story.

This Veterans Day, we honor all the brave servicemembers who have dedicated themselves to our nation. Today, I think of my father, who served in the Army during World War II as a Radio Communications Sergeant in Okinawa. He was incredibly proud of his service and when he passed away, we honored his wishes to be buried in a military cemetery.

I also think about my nephew, Lance Corporal Harry Lew who took his own life in Afghanistan after being violently hazed by his fellow Marines. Honoring our servicemembers also means confronting the challenges they face, which is why I introduced the Harry Lew and Danny Chen Military Justice Reform Act, to begin the process for criminalizing hazing under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Thank you to all of our Veterans and servicemembers for your courage and dedication to our country.

I am voting to impeach Pete Hegseth.

Secretary Hegseth has undermined our national security with Trump’s illegal war in Iran, all at the cost of Americans at home. At least 21 American servicemembers' lives have been lost. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted. And families are paying thousands more on gas and groceries.

Hegseth has got to go.

Trump is trying to restrict SNAP eligibility and kick an additional 6.3 MILLION Americans off the program. That’s after Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill already stripped five million people of food assistance last year.

Americans across the country are struggling to afford groceries, and Trump and Republicans are making it even harder for families to feed their children.

I was thrilled to host the Asian Pacific American GI Project’s exhibit, celebrating 250 years of AANHPI military service. This exhibit came all the way from my hometown of Monterey Park, and it's an honor to bring this important exhibit to our nation’s capital.

Through the stories, photographs, and artifacts in this exhibit, we honor generations of AANHPI servicemembers and Veterans so future generations know their stories.

“Too tough” is an insulting understatement.

Families have been ripped apart. Immigrants have suffered and died in ICE detention. And now Trump is promoting the architect of his cruel mass deportation agenda, Stephen Miller, to Chief of Staff. That’s a reward, not accountability.

President Trump says his administration’s deportation policy was “too tough.” https://t.co/4EQsg4QA8c

61 years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Higher Education Act of 1965, laying the groundwork for federal support to minority-serving institutions (MSIs). 

Today more than 800 federally-recognized MSIs serve over 5 million students. Yet the Trump administration has cut funding, threatening decades of progress for minority students in higher education. 

We should be strengthening educational access, not setting students back. That’s why I will keep fighting until we restore full funding for MSIs and ensure every student gets the education they deserve.

Happy Diwali! 🪔 As families around the world come together for the Festival of Lights, let us spread compassion, joy, and hope to everyone around us. Wishing peace and happiness to all who celebrate.

Stephen Miller is a white-supremacist who engineered the Trump administration’s cruel and racist anti-immigrant agenda. 

Trump’s decision to promote him to Chief of Staff after voters across the country made it clear they do not stand for his bigotry is only further evidence that he does not - and will never - respect the American people.

It was an honor to be part of the groundbreaking of the restored Charles S. Farnsworth Park, an exciting milestone in Altadena’s recovery from the Eaton Fire.

For generations, Charles S. Farnsworth Park has been a special place for our community. I cannot wait to see families and children return as this beautiful park is brought back to life!

During Sikh American Awareness and Appreciation Month, we recognize the history and contributions of Sikh Americans in California and across the nation.

As the co-founder of the American Sikh Congressional Caucus, it’s an honor to celebrate a community who makes our nation stronger and more vibrant. As anti-Sikh hate rises, I’ll keep fighting so every Sikh American can live and worship without fear.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is one of the most effective anti-poverty tools we have at our disposal. But it excludes millions of younger and older workers based on arbitrary age limits.

That’s why @RepGwenMoore and I reintroduced the EITC Age Parity Act, which would eliminate these age restrictions and put money in the pockets of millions of workers.

I will never forget the day after my election, when President Obama called to congratulate me on becoming the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress in history.

Now, we will have a record of at least 26 AANHPI Members of Congress, including at least 22 AAPI Members in @CAPAC, another historic record.

As CAPAC Chair Emerita, I’m always thrilled to have more AANHPI representation at the table.

To the people of CA-28: Thank you. It is an honor to continue representing you in Congress.

We've been fighting for these priorities. Now, we have the opportunity to deliver: overturning Trump's reckless tariffs, ending his war in Iran, reversing Republicans' Medicaid cuts, and lowering costs for working families.

Time to get to work.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s last minute attempt to set aside 20,000 LA County ballots. 

Today, millions of Californians will be casting their vote, and they deserve to know their vote will count. We will not let anyone take that away.

It was an honor to celebrate @NASAJPL’s 90th anniversary and the inauguration of Caltech’s new president, Dr. Ray Jayawardhana!

For nine decades, Caltech has led JPL to become NASA’s premier center for deep space robotics, and together they are responsible for some of humanity’s most incredible achievements. I look forward to Dr. Jayawardhana's continued leadership and to many more JPL-led triumphs for science and for America.
