    The President has decided that his wasteful and unnecessary wall is more important than funding the entire federal government. It's absolutely shameful. This shutdown will hurt innocent people, and Donald Trump knows it. He alone is responsible for the consequences.

    It also mandated oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, threatening vulnerable ecosystems and wildlife, allowing increased greenhouse emissions and threatening pristine public lands. The Gwich’in people way of life is in jeopardy. 2/3

    General Mattis showed honor and courage in his resignation, and his rebuke of President Trump’s reckless and destabilizing agenda. As voices in the Administration fail to constrain the President, know that the new Congress is ready to step up and to hold him accountable. 2/2

    Secretary Mattis was a valuable force for stability. He understood the importance of diplomacy, and boldly defended our allies. His departure from the Trump Administration is alarming. The President is acting without a strategy, and will embolden our enemies. 1/2

    Betsy DeVos and the administration are putting the NRA and its interests before the safety of our children. Guns have no place in our schools.

    The got what they wanted, at least temporarily: a court order striking down the ACA could cause 17 million to lose insurance coverage and could devastate 130 million with preexisting conditions. All this, with no replacement plan. This ruling won’t stand.

    No one working full time should struggle to make ends meet. It’s time for Congress to act on a fair, livable minimum wage.

    After the Vietnam War, our country sheltered thousands of innocent people who aided Americans. These refugees built lives here. The Trump administrations attempts to make them eligible for deportation is an outrageous betrayal, and we’re fighting back.

    More and more disturbing evidence of climate change in the arctic. While we debate the best way to tackle this crucial problem, we’re still faced by far, far too many who are determined to deny these basic facts. We need action, and we need it now.

    Don’t let the President’s misleading fearmongering fool you: while our border needs security, experts and the American people agree that the wall is a pointless waste of vital resources.

    Anytime you hear a Democrat saying that you can have good Border Security without a Wall, write them off as just another politician following the party line. Time for us to save billions of dollars a year and have, at the same time, far greater safety and control!

    We can’t keep allowing policymakers to ignore common sense, to ignore science and to gamble with our futures. Our government needs to put the needs of the American people first. Protecting clean water has been a bipartisan priority for years—the next congress will act. 2/2

    Last week saw another effort by this administration to undermine environmental protections. New rules could badly weaken the Clean Water Act, putting special interests and polluters ahead of public health, and our environment. 1/2

    Thank you for all of your support! Rep. Lowenthal holds the record for most prisoners of conscience advocated for through the Project.

    This week I was honored to join to recognize their 10 years of leadership on Human Rights in Congress. I have worked with them to free numerous prisoners of conscience wrongly held by authoritarian regimes around the world—our work will continue!

    Orange County is home to a thriving and vibrant Vietnamese community. We won’t turn our backs on our friends and neighbors: I am proud to join with my colleagues and to denounce any move to deport Vietnam War – Era refugees.

    I was thrilled to meet this week with United Nations Association students who are gathering support for my bipartisan resolution to honor the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We’ll continue work tirelessly to promote human rights at home and abroad.

    This innocent girl is the face of the crisis at the border, not some vague threat of “invasion.” We must treat asylum seekers with dignity and respect. I am heartbroken by her loss.
