I’m just devastated we lost @adybarkan. I first met Ady as a volunteer on my campaign and then an intern in my office. He’s always been fearless. Even when he lost his voice he still spoke volumes. Your work will continue. My heart is with your wife Rachael and entire family.
54 years ago today, Neil Armstrong took ‘one giant leap for mankind’ becoming the first person to set foot on the moon. Several years ago, I had the privilege of meeting him and introducing him to my son, Eli, at an event celebrating the anniversary of the moon landing. His legacy continues to inspire generations of Americans to dream big and reach for the stars.
It is essential that election workers be able to do their jobs without fear of being smeared or injured. The lies told by Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani about the 2020 election put the lives of election workers at risk. As long as Trump and his enablers persist in these falsehoods, so must we persist in exposing the truth.
Kevin McCarthy’s inability to govern meant we were lurching from one crisis to the next, instead of making progress on urgent issues like homelessness and inflation. For the sake of the country, the GOP needs to get its act together and if it can’t provide leadership, at least give us stability.
Today, @speakermccarthy once again attacked the justice system and undermined confidence in the rule of law to shill for the corrupt former president. It is shameful, and destructive of our democracy and its institutions. And for McCarthy, it means little more than — it must be Tuesday.
Despite the 2020 election being the most secure in our history, Republicans are trying to undermine our election security agency @cisagov, and pressuring tech companies like @youtube and @twitter to roll back progress. The disinformation campaign is succeeding, and it threatens our democracy.
Met an impressive class of @armenianassembly interns today. We talked about the dangers to the people of Artsakh, and the importance of the work they do to inform Congress and the Administration of the risks of war. I shared my experience as an intern and they shared theirs. The Armenian-American diaspora is strong and determined. I’m proud to know these young future leaders.

During our work on the January 6th committee, we found evidence that Donald Trump engaged in a conspiracy to defraud voters, and was complicit in the violent attack on the capitol. The special counsel is evaluating that evidence and more, and if he brings charges, I am confident there will be a strong basis for doing so.
Hate speech has exploded on Twitter in the last year, and as the company has fired both content moderators and security experts, user data is also deeply at risk. I asked FTC Chair, Lina Khan to address this, along with the efforts the FTC is making to hold Twitter accountable:
Today I met with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to discuss the affordable housing and homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. Together, we’re working to secure funding for mental health and substance abuse services, expand the supply of affordable housing, and eliminate barriers to housing and homeownership.

@repjudychu and I had the privilege of meeting @armenian_national_committee interns today! I’m proud to represent the largest Armenian-American community in Congress. We discussed the ongoing blockage of the Lachin Corridor and the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh. As well as the danger of another genocide.

More than 20 labor unions across the country have come together to support my bill to ensure that striking workers are able to provide for their families while they fight for a living wage.

Each year, pet stores throw out pet food instead of donating it to animal shelters running low on food and other supplies. Proud to support the bipartisan BARK Act which will encourage more donations, reduce food waste, and show support for our furry friends!
Our national parks provide a space for people to explore nature and enjoy recreational activities. I’ve been championing a bill to protect and expand California’s beautiful Rim of the Valley Corridor for years and will continue to fight to preserve California’s natural habitats.
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” On #MandelaDay, we must honor and uphold Nelson Mandela’s legacy of dedicated service to social justice, democracy, and peace by continuing the fight for freedom and equality for all.
