Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.
Congress isn't just about voting on laws or conducting oversight—a big part of our job is helping the people we represent cut through red tape. During my six years in Congress, I’m so proud that my office helped return over $25 million that was owed to Orange County families.
President Carter was an exemplar of compassion in leadership. He dedicated his life to public service, continuing to work to help families long after leaving office. I join millions of Americans in celebrating his legacy and wish his loved ones peace and strength.
Happy Hanukkah to all who are celebrating tonight in California and around the country. Wishing you a blessed 8 days filled with light and love! 🕎
From my family to yours, merry Christmas! May your homes be filled with joy, love, generosity, and laughter today and every day. 🎄
I cast my last ever House votes tonight (to avert a Republican shutdown). The end of an era!
Millions of Americans rely on Planned Parenthood for reproductive health care. I dropped by the Costa Mesa clinic recently to thank @PPFA for their work—and for this cool reproductive rights champion award! I'll always fight to protect our right to get the care we need.
NEW: @McKinsey will pay a $650 million settlement and apologize for its role in the opioid crisis that wreaked havoc on American families and communities. I’ve taken on McKinsey for its conflict of interest that harmed Americans. Victims deserve justice.
I’ve called out McKinsey’s double-dealing with drug companies and the FDA for years. It’s great to see federal prosecutors are taking McKinsey’s role in the opioid epidemic seriously, and I hope Americans finally get justice.
Giant grocery stores getting even bigger means higher prices and fewer choices for Americans. Families are already struggling to make ends meet and this merger would do us no favors. I’m glad the judge heeded our call to halt this anticompetitive deal.

My Vote By Mail Tracking Act would help Americans verify their ballot is counted. It has: ✅Support from @USPS ✅10 Republican and 10 Democratic sponsors ✅Unanimously passed the Oversight Committee ✅Passed the full House It could be law if: ❓The Senate passes it this month
The @CFPB has returned billions to consumers who were cheated by large corporations. This critical consumer protection agency makes sure businesses who follow the law can get ahead, and those who rip off consumers must halt their corporate abuse.

I had a blast touring the future site of the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum in Irvine. After the museum closed its previous location, I pushed Marine Corps leadership to preserve artifacts until they could be moved. Glad to hear that the project is on track to open in 2026!
Small businesses make our economy stronger, so I hope you'll join me in supporting local storefronts today and every day. One of my favorite parts of serving in Congress has been getting to learn about the diverse small businesses we have in Orange County. #SmallBusinessSaturday
