  California contributes more to the federal government than it gets back. When it comes to getting the fire mitigation resources we need, this kind of partisan attack on California can have life or death consequences. (1/2)

  On this day in 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to tell more than 250,000 enslaved Black people that they had been emancipated. Juneteenth isn't just a day to honor their lives and the end of slavery. (1/2)

  I just wrapped up the second meeting of my LGBTQ advisory committee. Last year, this conversation put me on the path to wrestle back more than $19 million in HIV prevention resources for LGBTQ Angelenos. ⤵️

  That’s why it's called health insurance – it's there if you need to use it. This is the kind of nonsense this Administration comes up with to justify kicking millions of Americans off their healthcare coverage.

  Instead of investing in life-extending vaccines like this, Sec. Kennedy chose to terminate nearly $500 million in federal investments into vital mRNA vaccine research. Because he doesn’t believe in science. (1/2)
