Joined #HarborGateway South Neighborhood Council’s Game Night!
Neighborhood families got together, played games, enjoyed free tacos, and learned about park programs and resources. I spent time with families in the neighborhood where I grew up — and I got to talk baseball with our Youth Baseball Spring League!

Celebrated securing federal funding to upgrade the #Wilmington Athletic Complex!
Sharing this moment with so many of our young sports stars and families from all over #CA44 was special. This investment will be used to install new lighting and security cameras, to help make the park even safer and more accessible.

Trump continues to attack our free and fair elections. The stakes are too high to not understand the consequences and how we can fight back.
So it was my honor to recognize constitutional lawyer Michael Waldman at @HouseDemocrats’ Steering and Policy hearing, who spoke about how to protect Americans’ right to vote.

Lauren was sent a $64,000 bill for a hospital stay… but the bill was sent by mistake. In the end, she only owed her $250 deductible.
Hospital billing and pricing needs to be clear and accurate so patients know exactly what they are paying for. Patients should come first, over profit.

Recycling our batteries— like in used phones, laptops, and cars— can help make electronics more accessible and affordable for everyone.
It’s one way to use the resources we have at home, rather than buying from other countries, which helps bring down costs for families.

My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela, especially the families who have lost or are looking for their loved ones.
The US must support Venezuela at this time of need with humanitarian aid and assistance as they deal with this tragedy.
A pair of powerful earthquakes rocked Venezuela, tearing down buildings, closing the country’s main airport and sending panicked residents of the capital pouring into the streets. At least 146 have died, the acting president said Thursday, warning that the toll was expected to rise.

Today, Americans will cheer Team USA on as they compete on the world stage. Their success shows us how immigrants shape our country.
So a reminder to the Trump admin that wants to take away birthright citizenship or send ICE after our neighbors: Immigrants are not a weakness of America.
They ARE America.

Americans: We’re in a national housing crisis. We need more affordable housing.
Congress: *Passes a bipartisan housing bill to help build more affordable housing*
Donald Trump: …I’m not signing it because my priority is making it harder for Americans to vote.
Trump’s completely lost it. Republicans need to call him out. Americans are counting on this bill.
BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has canceled the signing of the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act.
The stage is set in the Capitol.
House GOP leadership is literally on stage right now touting the bill.

Women have died because they were denied or received delayed abortion care in the 4 years since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
They were mothers, daughters, friends. Republicans continue to risk lives and prevent the critical health care women need. @HouseDemocrats are fighting for your right to make your own health care decisions — no one else.

17 years in jail.
That’s what @RepLaMonica McIver faces in court today. She showed up and demanded access and accountability from ICE and they want to send her to jail.
It’s not a crime. It’s called Congressional oversight and it’s one of the most important jobs we have here in Congress. You will not silence us. I stand with LaMonica.
I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable.
The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

Congress just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. What does that mean for affordable housing? It:
• cuts red tape to help build more affordable homes and faster
• limits large companies from buying up single-family homes and driving up prices
• provides financial incentives for cities and towns that increase affordable housing
@HouseDemocrats will continue to fight to make sure housing is affordable for ALL Americans.
A landmark housing affordability bill is headed to President Donald Trump’s desk after winning overwhelming support in Congress this week, setting the stage for the most sweeping federal housing package in a generation. cnn.it/4fYdpq3

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month. Retired California Highway Patrol Sergeant Yarbrough joined me to share some gun safety tips on #AskDay, to make sure parents safely store away their guns to protect kids at home.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the freedom delivered 161 years ago, when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, TX were emancipated, and recommit to today’s fight for justice and equality.
We asked several Black leaders from #CA44 —Dr. Batts, President of @lbbranchnaacp, Dr. McNulty, President of @CarsonNaacp, and Pastor Stevenson from San Pedro —to explain the importance of Juneteenth and some ways our community can celebrate.

You mean like the $300 billion you’re going to give them in the agreement you just negotiated and Trump signed?
Reporter: What's stopping Iran rebuilding and restarting from where we were pre the war their nuclear program?
Vance: Well, number one, they would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program. You're talking about billions and billions…

“We know you don’t care about us, but you’re making it plain and simple now.”
That’s what Rebecca said about the Trump admin after she and her husband can no longer afford the rising costs of Affordable Care Act coverage.
Republicans need to work with @HouseDemocrats to restore the tax credits NOW that bring down the cost of health insurance for millions.

The summer heat is on and the cost of cooling our homes is at a record high — but too many families are struggling to pay their utility bills.
Republicans need to join @HouseDemocrats to restore clean energy funding and lower costs NOW. No American should have to risk their health because they can’t afford A/C.
