We have a solemn responsibility to care for the families of the fallen and for every American who wears our nation’s uniform.
I continue to pray for the safety of all our troops in harm’s way.
Yesterday, I joined my colleagues on the House floor to mourn the loss of six American servicemembers, including Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan of Sacramento.
The Department of Homeland Security was created to keep Americans safe.
Kristi Noem failed to execute that mission. That’s why I supported her impeachment. I am glad to see her go.
We must restore leadership at DHS that respects the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law.
Janine and I join the Sacramento community in mourning the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert’s family and all of our troops in harm’s way.
Wishing a Happy Holi to all who celebrate in Sacramento County!
Let us celebrate this festival of colors, love, and the beginning of spring.
May this season inspire us to spread love, foster tolerance, and strengthen the ties that bind us together.
I always love the chance to visit classrooms and help get kids excited about reading.
And the students even surprised me with a special song to celebrate my birthday! Take a listen:
Enjoyed celebrating National Read Across America Day at Schweitzer Elementary School in Carmichael!
I read “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss and talked with students about all the adventures books can take you on.
Grateful for John’s partnership and tireless advocacy on this issue (and for the birthday wishes!).
Tuberculosis is preventable and curable, but it still takes far too many lives. I’m urging my colleagues to sign my letter calling for increased funding to eliminate TB globally and boost TB prevention and treatment here at home.
Great to welcome author and TB advocate John Green (@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social) back to my DC office today!
That’s why I introduced legislation last year to rename the Post Office on Marysville Boulevard in Del Paso Heights as the Grantland Johnson Post Office.
I’m looking forward to getting this over the finish line and honoring a Sacramento leader whose impact will continue to live on.
He believed every community deserves access to health care and transportation, pathways to education and good jobs, and the chance to raise a family in a safe neighborhood.
Grantland was a steadfast advocate for children, fighter for the less fortunate, and relentless in his pursuit for justice and equality for all Americans.
He later served in the Clinton Administration as Regional Director of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and then served as Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency.
Grantland broke barriers as the first Black person elected to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.
While serving on the Board, he helped build affordable housing, strengthened family services, and improved transit access.
As Black History Month comes to a close, I want to highlight Grantland Johnson, a trailblazing public servant who helped shape the Sacramento region.
Born and raised in Del Paso Heights, Grantland attended Grant Union High School and earned degrees from American River College and Sacramento State.
Read my statement on U.S. military strikes inside Iran:
The American people deserve a president and Congress focused on addressing the challenges facing our nation.
That’s not what we saw last night.
What we saw was a long, divisive, and lie-filled speech from a president obsessed with himself.
We are better than this.
As the proud representative of one of the largest Ukrainian communities in America, I remain steadfast in my support for the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom.
While there, I met with President Zelenskyy and saw firsthand the resilience, strength, & courage of the Ukrainian people. The world has witnessed that same resolve every day since.
Four years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
I visited Ukraine just weeks before the invasion. 🧵
President Trump is a troll. I expect him to use tomorrow’s speech in our Nation’s Capitol — a building I hold sacred — to troll both my Democratic and Republican colleagues.
I refuse to participate in this spectacle.

This ruling does not put an end to President Trump’s chaotic & unstable behavior.
My Republican colleagues need to join us in clearly reasserting Congress’ authority over tariffs to restore stability & predictability for American consumers, businesses, & our trading partners.
The Supreme Court got it right today.
President Trump never had the power to impose these sweeping tariffs that raised costs for working families, hurt small businesses, & strained our alliances around the world.
Wishing a meaningful start to Lent to all those observing Ash Wednesday across Sacramento County.
May this season be a time for reflection, humility, and renewed commitment to caring for our neighbors and one another.
If you’re in the area, please continue to follow guidance from local authorities as hazardous conditions persist.
Janine and I are heartbroken by this news and extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones impacted by this tragedy.
We are grateful for the first responders who continue to brave dangerous conditions amidst ongoing recovery efforts.

If you’re in the area, follow guidance from local authorities and heed avalanche and winter storm warnings.
My office is closely monitoring the backcountry avalanche near Truckee.
We’re grateful to the first responders working in high avalanche danger and highly dangerous weather conditions, and we’re praying for everyone’s safe return and recovery.
