Two years ago, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included my bill to claw back Big Pharma's profits when drug companies hike prices faster than inflation. It's already saved Americans billions on prescription drugs. Cracking down on greedy corporations works.

Americans deserve leaders that put public interest above their self-interests, and Senator Dave Min and I are both fighting to end corruption. Earlier this month, we called on the Assembly to pass his bill that would help prevent self-dealing. Now, it's headed to the Governor's desk.

Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, airlines will soon have to automatically refund travelers for canceled or significantly delayed flights. We can't let airlines keep getting away with cheating Americans and then shirking responsibility for avoidable travel disruptions.

Seven years ago, Donald Trump slashed the corporate tax rate, claiming the average household would see their income go up by $4,000. That never happened. Instead, the Trump Tax Scam helped billionaires and corporations line their pockets at the expense of the American people.

The Coast Guard works tirelessly to save lives, uphold the rule of law in the world’s oceans, and protect our environment. I recently visited U.S. Coast Guard Los Angeles/Long Beach to learn more about the critical role they play. Thanks for the tour—and for letting me drive the boat!

Here’s some GREAT news for National Breastfeeding Month: Senate Commerce, Science, Transportation Committee passed my BABES Enhancement Act out of committee. I’m hopeful the full Senate, and the House, will quickly pass this bipartisan bill to make it easier for parents to travel with breast milk and baby formula.

Happy #NationalParkService Day! 108 years ago, National Park Service was created to protect and care for our national parks and public lands. Their hard work makes our parks so enjoyable to visit. Don’t forget to thank a ranger on your next trip!

I stopped by Alpha_Motor_Corporation to learn more about their electric vehicle development and how they’re making EVs more accessible for every American. Orange County is lucky to be home to so many innovative small businesses that drive competition and strengthen our economy.

When government listens to polluters instead of people, we get policies that line Big Oil's pockets instead of protecting communities' health. Thank you California Environmental Voters, Dan Kalmick, and Natalie Moser for a discussion about how solving climate change means safeguarding democracy.

For too long, our government has overlooked the disability community, resulting in poorer health outcomes. The Biden-Harris Administration strengthened civil rights protections for Americans with disabilities, and I was proud to celebrate this milestone on the House floor.

Labor Day is a celebration of workers' contributions to our economy—and their power in demanding big corporations do right by employees and consumers. I always have and always will stand with unions, including protecting the right to organize.

The Biden-Harris Administration has delivered substantial relief to Americans with student loans, but some efforts have been bungled by student loan servicers like MOHELA. I’m working to hold MOHELA accountable for their long record of mismanaging student loans.

Last year’s wildfires, which ravaged Maui, upended the lives of the local Lahaina community and worsened an already devastating housing crisis. Rep. Katie Porter opens today’s hearing focused on ensuring the federal government delivers the assistance survivors need and deserve:

My heart is with the students, teachers, and families in Winder, Georgia, who experienced an unspeakable tragedy today—and will feel its pain far into the future. Every American deserves to live free from the threat of gun violence. They continue to count on Congress to act.

When Wall Street violates the law, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission can pursue fines—which are often a drop in the bucket for ultra-wealthy bankers. We need guardrails that actually discourage wrongdoing, not make it the cost of doing business. My SEC Penalties Act would increase the penalty amounts.

Needless tariffs damage our economy, make it difficult for companies to compete, and push up prices. The Trump Administration’s misguided trade war hurt families. We can’t repeat those mistakes.
