Californians, there are just 4️⃣ days left to make your voice heard in this election. My son, Luke, recently turned 18 and voted for the very first time today.

Big Pharma raised the average price of new medications by more than 35% last year. I warned about this alarming trend in 2022, when my office released a report urging Congress to crack down on absurd launch prices. Without safeguards, Big Pharma’s greed has no bounds. (1/2)

Dr. Ruth Gottesman has donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine with instructions that it be used to cover tuition for all students going forward. It is one of the largest charitable donations to an educational institution in the U.S. nyti.ms/48yBeNA

This #BlackHistoryMonth, our Orange County community turned out to celebrate Black excellence. Last week, I honored the organizers of this annual event on the House floor. Congrats to @OCBlackHistory on another fantastic parade and festival!

It was great to meet with California’s American Indian Chamber of Commerce. Their important work helps our American Indian and Alaska Native communities thrive, and I’m proud to serve as a strong partner in Congress.

California has some of the unhealthiest air in the nation. We need stronger protections against pollution, but hurdles in Washington are delaying our state's work to save lives. I'm working with @SenAlexPadilla to urge @EPA to act swiftly.

Too often, Big Oil kicks its clean up of old wells down the road—and onto taxpayers. I’ve called out polluters that cheat Americans and wreck our environment, and my bill cracking down on Big Oil giveaways is now law. I’ll keep leading efforts to hold polluters accountable.

🚨 @USGAO's latest reports show that Big Oil can't be trusted to act in good faith on their own. Time after time, they have left American communities high and dry to deal with their dangerous messes & old equipment. It’s time to hold them accountable.

Diseases in animals that are transmitted to humans—like Alaskapox—pose a growing threat to public health and our economy. My Wildlife Disease Surveillance Act would give health officials more tools to collect data, prevent transmission, and keep Americans from getting sick.

An Alaska man died last month of Alaskapox, a rare virus that occurs mostly in small mammals and can cause skin lesions, according to state health officials. There have been seven reported human cases of Alaskapox since 2015. nyti.ms/49pTZUu

In Larnaca port, Cyprus’s with @WCKitchen partner @openarms_found putting together an active plan to bring barges to the beaches of Gaza to bring food to the North…at the moment seems like and impossible mission but we need all the creativity we can to keep feeding the people of Gaza…#ChefsForGaza if @cogatonline see this as a viable plan we may get permission? Let’s hope so. But at least we are trying…

I’ve proudly earned 100% on every @StopBigMoney/@LetAmericaVote scorecard since joining Congress. Americans deserve to have representatives who reject corporate PAC money and call out corruption in Washington. It's great to see more colleagues join the A+ club this year!

Last year, I urged @EPA to crack down on air pollution in California and across America. These new standards will save thousands of lives each year, especially in low-income areas and communities of color that bear the brunt of air pollution. A win for our health and environment!

Housing is the top issue for Californians, but career politicians in Washington have been too slow to provide solutions. My kids are worried they won’t be able to afford housing in California when they grow up. I have a 10-point plan to tackle—and solve—our housing crisis ⤵️ 1/

Whether Democrats or Republicans are in charge, I’m focused on getting results for Californians—not playing petty partisan games. This week, the Oversight Committee unanimously advanced my Vote By Mail Tracking Act to give Americans confidence their mail-in ballot is counted.

Great to meet with the Coast Guard today to get updates on their work to prevent another oil disaster off California’s coast. I’ve been pushing for @USCG to take action, and I look forward to our continued partnership to protect California from Big Oil's pollution.

The nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers delays flights and puts flyers at risk. I led the entire Orange County delegation to push for more resources and staff at @JohnWayneAir—one of the most understaffed towers in Southern California—and airports around the country.
