It’s ABSURD that Congress is on vacation until November while our country is at war. 
Gas prices are well over $4. Diesel prices are over $6. Congress must return to Washington and vote to end Trump’s illegal war.

I’m reintroducing the Campus Accountability and Safety Act. This bill would force universities to report sexual assault incidents to the federal government, require clear processes for investigating and reporting sexual assault, and guarantee justice for survivors.

Egypt’s arrest of the six journalists at Matsadaash is a brazen assault on press freedom. I stand with Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders and the 80 other groups objecting to “Egyptian authorities’ failure to allow free expression to thrive.”

Three simple ideas to stop corruption in government: ✅ Get money out of politics. ✅ Stop insider trading by federal elected officials. ✅ Prosecute the Epstein class.

ChatGPT literally helped plan a mass shooting. Eight people were killed. We need to hold the executives of these AI companies civilly and criminally liable when their models cause this kind of catastrophic harm.

I am opposing Section 219, which would integrate our military with Israel’s. The United States does not have this arrangement with any other country in the world. We need to stand up for American sovereignty and strip this provision from the final NDAA.

I introduced the Free Childcare for America Act. This is the boldest childcare proposal we have ever had. It would provide free childcare to millions, while giving families the flexibility to choose the form of childcare that works best for them.

As the top Democrat on the China Committee, I'm convening an unprecedented hearing today on what it will take to reach an international AI safety agreement with China. Trump and Xi Jinping must reach an agreement on AI safety standards at their meeting tomorrow.

Our government is giving $2.8 billon in bombs to Israel. How about giving that money to the American people so they can afford food and gas? I'm tired of this Israel first policy. It's time to put Americans first.

Wishing an easy and meaningful fast to everyone in CA-17 and around the world observing Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatima Tova.

Mike Johnson sent Congress on vacation through November to prevent votes on the Epstein files, Pete Hegseth’s impeachment and AI regulation. We need to be back doing the people’s work.

While the majority of Americans, including many young Republicans, demand an end to aid to Israel, the Trump Administration is sending the Israeli military $2.8 billion of taxpayer funded bombs. This is why so many Americans believe our political and economic system is broken.

Mike Johnson just said that AI companies can self-regulate and self-police. Take it from the guy representing Silicon Valley, that is crazy! The tech billionaires profiting of AI models can’t be trusted to keep us safe.

We are being ruled by tech lords who are regulating themselves. Instead of acting, Johnson is sending Congress home at the end of the week because he does not see AI as urgent. The future of AI cannot be governed by the companies building it.

Shana tova to everyone in CA-17 and around the world celebrating Rosh Hashanah. Wishing you and your loved ones peace and joy in the year ahead.

Trump is lawyering up in anticipation of losing the House. Democrats need the guts to hold the corrupt accountable by subpoenaing: - The Trump family over their financial deals - Elon Musk and DOGE over the unconstitutional cuts - ICE officials who killed American citizens

On the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost and the heroic work of the first responders who risked their lives to save others. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

The House voted for a bill that could strip universities of federal funding if students call out the actions of the Israeli government. This is a massive assault on the First Amendment. We need to stand with students who have the courage to speak out against the genocide in Gaza.
