I am honored to receive the Early Cancer Detection Champion Award from DAP Health for my work advancing H.R. 842, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. Expanding access to early cancer detection means saving more lives.

Have you all tried The Brown Bag sandwich and deli restaurant in Palm Desert north of the I-10? It’s a small shop and family owned. I got the Karv sandwich today for lunch and it was delicious! Let’s support small businesses when we can!

Disabled veterans shouldn’t have to choose between the retirement they earned, and the disability benefits they deserve. The Major Richard Star Act fixes this unfair policy and honors the service of combat-injured veterans who sacrificed for our country. Congress must pass it. #MajorRichardStarAct

There was no proof or evidence given to Congress and the American people of an imminent threat to the U.S. and Trump sent them anyway. It didn't have to be this way and I will demand answers.

My heart breaks for the service members killed and severely injured. My prayers are with their families and with every service member in harm’s way. We owe them support, clear objectives, and accountability.

We had an international agreement that prevented Iran from having nuclear weapons, but Trump tore it up. He's the only reason Iran is able to pursue nuclear weapons.

Congress must act immediately to stop Trump from risking American lives.

Once again, Donald Trump has lied to the American people, broken the law, and risked American lives for a personal vendetta.

He repeatedly promised no new wars and criticized past Presidents for starting wars without Congressional approval, but here he is, doing exactly that.

Weakening clean air protections means more pollution, more ER visits, and more families paying the price- while polluters get a free pass.

The Trump Admin, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, is moving to roll back the Endangerment Finding, the rule that lets us limit dangerous air pollution. That decision won’t stay in DC. It will be felt in places like our district, where families already live with dirty air and higher asthma rates.

I'm also grateful for the tireless work by Senator Adam Schiff, State Senator Steve Padilla and Governor Newsom for paving a workable path forward.

I applaud Riverside County Supervisor Perez and the Board, CEO Jeff Van Wagenen and Riverside University Health for stepping up to provide much needed management services and the emergency funds needed to qualify for an additional $9 million in federal funds.

Palo Verde Hospital is critical for the people of Blythe. Without it, patients facing emergencies would have to travel more than 70 miles for care and that distance and travel time can be the difference between life and death.

I am absolutely honored to help #IndianHealthServices (IHS) secure $8.05b in funding for FY26 and $5.3b in advanced funding for FY27! 
 
Indian Health Services provides healthcare to 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. It is by law, an important responsibility, and very much needed.

Grateful to welcome water district leaders from our district to DC for my constituent open house. Ensuring safe, affordable drinking water and investing in modern water infrastructure takes strong partnerships and I’m committed to continuing this work together for our district.

Criminal Trump continues his Big Lie about not losing to Biden and claiming massive cheating to justify making it harder for working people to vote and the Republican sheep in Congress know he’s lying but stood and cheered anyway. Despicable. #SOTU

No Trump, YOU should be ashamed of YOURSELF for being a convicted sex offender, an Epstein enabler, and for unleashing the brutality and violence on noncriminal immigrants and U.S. Citizens including the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
