GREAT NEWS! Big Oil now has to pay more to drill on public land. For decades, Big Oil had a sweetheart deal to pollute in our backyards and shift costs onto taxpayers. With my reforms finalized by President Biden, we’re cracking down on Big Oil’s abuse of our environment—and tax dollars.

Cracking down on unlicensed firearm dealers that don’t conduct background checks will save lives. I pushed ATF HQ to finalize this rule last year, and I’m thrilled the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered on its promise.

Who's gonna tell them?

.Rep. Katie Porter “When institutions like Congress perpetuate long standing social disparities for women, is there a term for that”

Me: “I believe it’s call patriarchy.”

Thank you Rep Porter for underscoring the structural sexism& racism of our underinvestment in care.

Child care strengthens our workforce. It shouldn't be something only the wealthiest Americans can afford.

When conservatives block government from investing in child care to give families 'choice,' they take away choice from single parents and low-income parents.

Government investment in childhood education returns $4+ for every $1 we put in.

But, in today's Joint Economic Committee Democrats hearing, a GOP witness tried to sell us the same tired story that government shouldn't make any investments in families, because it's 'other people's money.'

I called BS.

Tax Day is around the corner, and this year, taxpayers in California and 11 other states can file directly with IRSnews.

Direct File is easy to use, accurate, and won't cost a dime—and it doesn't have Big Tax Prep's deceptive tactics that cheat Americans.

While extreme conservatives take books out of libraries, I’m fighting to protect these important public institutions. This #NationalLibraryWeek , let’s recommit to making our libraries safe, educational gathering places for all Americans.

President Biden’s plan to forgive millions of student loans will not only free Americans from a lifetime of debt, but also make our workforce stronger and more globally competitive. A win for everyone!

For years, certain colleges have evaded accountability for high rates of student loan default by manipulating a key metric used to determine schools’ federal student aid eligibility. I just reintroduced my Accountability in Student Loan Data Act to prevent this shady practice.

Read my statement on the Biden Administration’s announcement today that Israel must take 'immediate' steps to protect civilians and aid workers in order to maintain U.S. support.

This horrific attack on workers delivering desperately-needed food, water, and medicine in Gaza is unacceptable. I support a swift, thorough investigation and accountability measures that prevent further loss of life.

On #TransDayofVisibility , my message to trans Americans is we see you, we love you, and we celebrate you.

I will continue to support federal protections for trans Americans to live free from discrimination and violence.

Happy Easter! Wishing everyone celebrating this joyful occasion a holiday filled with happiness and quality time with loved ones.

Big Tax Prep companies use deceptive tactics to cheat taxpayers. Filing taxes should be free and easy, which is why I pushed IRSnews to create Direct File.

Taxpayers in 12 states, including CA, can file for free right now. 👇

Democracy requires a strong, free press.

Evan Gershkovich has been illegitimately imprisoned in Russia for one year now. I stand with journalists and all Americans demanding his release.

It was an honor to join neighbors in Orange County for an interfaith Iftar, the daily fast-breaking meal during Ramadan, over the weekend. Thanks for having me!

Big Oil neglects its duty to clean up old wells and leaves taxpayers on the hook.

House Republicans want to make Big Oil’s sweetheart deal even sweeter, so they tried to overturn my proposals to hold the industry accountable.

I called out this handout to polluters. ⤵️

Whether it’s mifepristone or IVF, abortion care and other reproductive rights are under attack. Make no mistake: if Republicans in Congress wanted to protect women's freedoms, they would.

Their silence—and failure to act—shows exactly where they stand.

Happy #Holi ! Wishing all who are observing the Festival of Colors a celebration filled with happiness, love, and rejuvenation. 🎆
