Last year, Trump announced that he would build himself a new ballroom without using taxpayer money. 

He lied. Now, he is spending $300 million of YOUR hard-earned money on this needless vanity project. The President is taking more from you to help himself.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Exclusive: A detailed project summary of the ballroom prepared for the White House by a contractor estimated the total construction cost at $600 million — with more than half coming from taxpayers, according to a copy obtained by The Post. https://t.co/gHM0D7BmOg

I am heartbroken by the tragic crash at Edwards Air Force Base. My thoughts are with the service members, their families, and the entire military community during this difficult time.

[Edwards Air Force Base @EdwardsAFB]

‼️ Official release regarding today's B-52 crash at Edwards. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and unit members at this time.

More information will be released as it becomes available.

6 years ago, the Supreme Court, in #Bostock, affirmed employees are protected from sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination.

As Trump continues to undermine the enforcement of LGBTQI+ peoples' rights—including by sabotaging the EEOC—our members are fighting back.

It's been 6 months since Republicans let enhanced ACA tax credits expire.

Millions of Americans—including 66,000 in CA-28—are paying hundreds more per month to keep their insurance, or going without coverage.

What happened to Trump's "concept of a plan" to lower health costs?

[CBS News @CBSNews]

After congressional Republicans let expanded subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans expire at the end of last year, some families have decided the price is too great of a financial burden and canceled their coverage. https://t.co/a23TWTttoS

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

This is $60 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars.

Trump will always put himself first. Not you. Not your family. Always himself.

[The Hill @thehill]

At least $60M spent on White House UFC event

For 14 years, Dreamers have contributed $76 billion annually to our economy, strengthened our communities, and grown roots in the only country many have ever called home.

But today, Trump is shamefully attacking Dreamers. ICE has detained hundreds and deported at least 86 individuals.

That’s why it's time for Congress to finally pass the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act of 2025, which I'm proud to help lead and which would establish a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.

Dreamers make our country better – it’s time we establish permanent protections.

One year ago, an act of political violence claimed the lives of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark, and their dog, Gilbert, in their home. That same day, Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times and survived their injuries.

Let us recommit ourselves to ending political violence. NO ONE should fear for their safety because of their political beliefs or party.

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Ten years ago, 49 lives were taken at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub. Today, we honor the victims and their families and continue our fight to end gun violence and hate crimes once and for all.

As a Vice Chair of the @EqualityCaucus, I am committed to building a future where no person lives in fear of the violence we saw that night.

Happy Pride, San Gabriel Valley! This month and every month, we celebrate that LBGTQ+ rights are human rights. As Vice Chair of the @EqualityCaucus, I will never stop fighting for equality, dignity, and safety for all.

[Alliance for Retired Americans @ActiveRetirees]

Yesterday, Social Security Commissioner Bisignano tried to gaslight us and told Congress that wait times at the SSA are way down.

Thanks to @repjudychu, who stood up for retirees and set the record straight.

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Republicans claim Social Security phone wait times are down to 5 minutes. But that's because SSA counts people who request a callback as having waited zero minutes.

Yesterday in @WaysMeansCmte, I asked the SSA Commissioner how long callers actually wait before speaking to someone about their benefits. He couldn't say.

Americans deserve the truth. SSA is masking the damage Trump's staffing cuts have done to customer service.

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Yet again, Trump is refusing to answer for the complete disaster he created.

He doesn’t care that Americans are paying the price for his reckless war with Iran, and neither do Republicans in Congress.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Congratulations to Ryan Chen from La Cañada-Flintridge and Max Shawn Zhou from San Marino for being selected as finalists for the Center for Excellence in Education’s 2026 USA Biolympiad!

These outstanding students reflect the talent, determination, and commitment to discovery that define CA-28's STEM community. I can't wait to see all they accomplish through this opportunity!

#SmokeAdvisory: Angeles National Forest firefighters are continuing prescribed fire operations in Tanbark Flats today, June 10. If conditions allow, the project will continue through June 13.

Smoke may be visible in the San Gabriel Valley, especially in the foothill communities of Glendora, San Dimas, and La Verne.

Prescribed fires reduce overgrown vegetation to protect communities, infrastructure, and natural resources from wildfires.

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Today on #FosterYouthShadowDay26, I was excited to welcome Jo Harlan, a remarkable young leader and @NFYInstitute delegate. She told me about her experiences in foster care and the unique challenges she and other youth face.

Her passion for improving access to education and healthcare for older foster youth was inspiring, and I will continue to push for legislation like my Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act and my Increasing Access to Foster Care Through Age 21 Act so all youth have the support needed to thrive.

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Inflation crossed 4% in May for the first time in 3 years. It's up from 2.4% in February before the war with Iran.

Americans are paying more for gas, groceries, housing, and basic necessities and Trump and Republicans are letting it happen.

Seems like Trump was being honest when he said he doesn’t think about Americans' financial situations.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: Inflation crossed 4 percent for the first time in three years in May, as sustained pressure from the Iran war makes clear that the inflationary hit to consumers is far from over. https://t.co/U0SyjviJJ6

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Prices are up for gas, groceries, health care, and housing - and families are hurting. But instead of addressing this cost-of-living crisis, Republicans are choosing to dump $70 billion more for ICE and Trump's immigration agencies without enforcing any basic standards and accountability. It's shameful.

That’s why @HouseBudgetDems and I are voting NO on the Secure America Act.
