- Today, I voted for, and the House passed, the Iran War Powers Resolution, sending a strong rebuke to President Trump’s war in Iran. This is the wrong priority. While billions are spent on a war in Iran, families in our communities are drowning in economic pain, with gas prices
- I know there are some important meetings this week in Imperial Valley and Coachella regarding data centers. I want to be clear. I unequivocally oppose the proposed data centers in Imperial and Coachella and urge local officials to prevent them from happening.
00:00 - 106 years. 🍒 That’s how long Beaumont has been celebrating the Cherry Festival, and this year was extra special. I was so glad to introduce our hometown star and American Idol winner, Abi Carter, to the stage. If you’re in the area this weekend, come out to the Cherry Festival
00:00 - We listened. We learned. Now we get to work. Community health centers are the backbone of health care in our communities, and today their leaders showed us exactly how to make them stronger. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
