The Trump Administration enacted a cruel ban on Muslim immigrants that ripped families apart. Today, I proudly voted for the #NoBanAct to prevent future presidents from creating similar policies rooted in prejudice and xenophobia. Hate has no place here.

Exxon claims to want to go green, but they don’t meaningfully invest in renewable energy. Yesterday, an industry leader tried to argue that smaller companies can just take the lead. Not good enough. Corporations that fueled the climate crisis should help fund solutions. https://t.co/xs6ZPxlEJN

Millions of women have been forced out of the workforce, with many citing a lack of childcare. But this problem isn't new; it's just been intensified by the pandemic. We've never invested in families like other developed nations, and it's holding us back. https://t.co/F4JqfwVmJH

Today, the courts delivered accountability in the case of George Floyd. Tomorrow and every day, our Congress must deliver policies that create a fair justice system that respects every individual and keeps them safe from police violence.

While families struggle to pay for life-saving medication, Big Pharma execs take home multi-million dollar compensation packages—that they themselves can't justify. Today, I renewed my push to protect patients and recover taxpayer dollars from drug companies hiking prices. https://t.co/plhcWxgnVZ

Accountability is important in all aspects of our lives—from taking responsibility for photobombing Congressional questioning (looking at you, Luke!) to rooting out waste and fraud. At a hearing today, I advocated for my bill to protect the independence of government watchdogs. https://t.co/2NWf5IexN2

Today, I'm signing on as an original co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. Over the past few months, after conversations with environmental advocates and labor leaders, I worked with Congressional colleagues to strengthen pro-worker provisions in the legislation. 🌳🤝🔨

Taxpayers lose $1 trillion or more each year to corporations cheating our tax code. Yes, trillion with a T. Orange County families play by the rules and pay their fair shares; corporations should have to, too. https://t.co/v75oJyywYl

I’m so looking forward to this week’s telephone town hall, where I’ll be answering questions from Orange County families about my goals in Congress. I hope you’ll tune in! More info 👇👇 https://t.co/xZh2oP6nIa

In Orange County, we know the importance of family. It’s heartbreaking that Korean Americans haven’t been able to contact loved ones in North Korea for ~70 years. I’m proudly backing a measure to encourage reunification of divided Korean-American families.

Ms. Garner wasn’t a threat, but she was treated like one. We should send mental health professionals when someone is in a mental health crisis—not police. https://t.co/qI0qh5PXG6

More than 7 in 10 pet-owning women that seek refuge in domestic violence shelters report that their partner threatened, injured, or killed the family pet. As we begin Animal Violence Awareness Week, it’s critical we recognize how domestic violence and animal cruelty intersect. https://t.co/1bm0KDnbsz

The U.S. has a history of underdelivering for families, and it’s hurting our economy. Other countries have invested in childcare and paid leave, and that’s made their workforces stronger. We must do the same to remain globally competitive. https://t.co/XIBVfatLn1

I use the same skills I relied on as an educator to do my job in Congress. Being a representative is all about learning—from community members, colleagues, and in hearings—and then sharing info back to the American people. I talked about this and more ⬇️ https://t.co/Z63w65g2rs

The #AmericanRescuePlan delivered $40 billion to keep our child care system from collapsing, but our goal can’t just be to stabilize an already-broken system. Our proposal for long-term, structural child care investments should be included in the upcoming infrastructure bill.

Thrilled to announce that Rep. Katie Porter will serve as my Vice Chair on the Government Operations Subcommittee. Her leadership, skill, & tenacity will be invaluable. Let's get to work, @RepKatiePorter. I'll bring the gavel, you bring the whiteboard. https://t.co/22KQ4KWkTS

"You come before us today as a wolf in sheep's clothing. For decades, institutes like [Scalia Global Antitrust Institute] have masked corporate money to protect monopoly power. The American people are paying the price." — @MondaireJones to Scalia Law Professor Tad Lipsky https://t.co/f2NZ0rjdk9
