“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

I will respect the limits of presidential powers that I have for three and a half years. But any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law. I concur with what Justice Sotomayor wrote today: "With fear for our democracy—I dissent." So do I.

The Klamath Basin is home to Tribal Nations who have stewarded this diverse ecosystem since time immemorial, but climate-fueled drought jeopardizes their future. Through our new Keystone Initiative, we're infusing resources into locally led collaboration. doi.gov/sites/default/…


Water shortages are becoming a way of life in cities across the globe — Los Angeles; Cape Town, South Africa; Jakarta, Indonesia; and many more — as climate change worsens and authorities often pipe in water from ever-more-distant sources. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

This mega-city is running out of water. What will 22 million people do when the taps run dry?

The challenge in Mexico City, built amid lakes by the Aztecs, had long been getting rid of water, not storing it. Now its taps are running dry.

#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth is a celebration of the traditions, resistance, and existence of tribes across the country. That's why we’re kicking off with a visual that shows creation stories from various tribal traditions from across California.

Native youth and sovereign nations like those in my district - Zuni, Acoma, Isleta & Laguna Pueblos, Mescalero, Ft. Sill Apache & Navajo - would be deeply impacted by a government shutdown. Thank you to @Center4Native youth leaders for bringing this to our national attention.

Poverty is the leading cause of disability. This is how people with disabilities are negatively impacted by system disparities. Health disparities are preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides modest financial assistance to people who are unable to work due to age or disability. But the program's outdated asset limit—$2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples—effectively traps people in poverty. It's time to #UpdateSSI!
