Recent flooding in Orange County is a stark reminder of the growing threats climate change poses to our communities, from rising sea levels and extreme weather to worsening wildfires, heat, and drought.
I’ve watched in horror over the past few years as Donald Trump and his MAGA base have tried to turn the LGBTQ+ community into a political football, bullying and vilifying the most vulnerable people in our country.
Trump is about to lift sanctions on Putin’s slush fund??? This is part of a long pattern of disturbing pro-Putin actions on the part of Trump and his inner circle—

A Trump-appointed federal judge said the DOJ would also lose the case on the merits.
When Oversight Democrats visited the ICE detention facility in Adelanto, what we saw was nothing short of horrific. Detainees are being held in atrocious conditions, despite the fact that the vast majority of them have no criminal record. We must deliver real accountability.

People living on Via La Mirada north of Calle Esperanza can check on their homes but are not allowed to stay, with fire officials citing hoses, power outages and overall safety concerns.
I have heard from constituents detained in Adelanto about the horrific conditions — unsafe, unhealthy, and inhumane.
That’s why I joined Oversight Dems and members of the CA delegation to get answers at Adelanto. We won’t stop working to put an end to Trump’s unlawful immigration tactics.

Rep. Min’s Statement on the Mass Shooting Plot Targeting the Hindu Community:
More corruption from Trump, who’s literally selling off control of the country to foreign bidders.
I’m sure this will receive the same strict oversight (nothing) that Mike Johnson and his NPC House Republicans have showed for the last two years….

At least 52 $TRUMP holders moved funds through crypto exchanges that bar U.S. customers.
Orange County is home to some of the most innovative companies in the world, and I had the opportunity to visit Google's Irvine office to meet with their local team and get a firsthand look at the technology being developed right here in our community.

I had the pleasure of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a visit to ARTime Barro, a Hispanic-owned pottery studio in Laguna Beach!
No one is above the law. But given this administration’s history of weaponizing federal law enforcement, particularly at DHS, and racist attacks against Ilhan Omar, this looks on its face like a political attack against one of Trump’s most vocal critics, straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
