Over the weekend, TSA screened a record number of passengersā€”including many mothers and infants.

My bipartisan BABES Enhancement Act would clarify guidelines, boost TSA training, and make it easier for parents to keep their babies fed while traveling. šŸ‘‡

Today, I visited NWSSealBeach to honor our brave servicemembers and pay respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

On Memorial Day, and every day, we thank our troops and their families for keeping our country safeā€”and remember those we have lost.

I introduced the Presidential Ethics Reform Act with Rep. James Comer to boost transparency in government.

Our bill gives Americans the information and tools we need to verify our leaders are meeting the high ethical standards we deserveā€”and hold them accountable if they arenā€™t.

The American people deserve nothing less than full honesty and transparency from their leaders.

Today, Rep. James Comer and I introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen presidential ethics requirements.

This is how Congress is supposed to work.

Lethal chemicals can make a mental health crisis even more tragic. I helped lead the bipartisan Youth Poisoning Protection Act to keep these dangerous substances out of kids' hands, and I'm proud the House passed our bill last week.

This week, the Oversight Committee advanced a bill that would help military spouses keep their jobs while stationed overseasā€”strengthening families and our military. I thanked military spouses for their selfless dedication and celebrated this win ā¤µļø

Every child deserves a quality education. The Supreme Courtā€™s Brown v. Board of Education decision, 70 years ago today, moved the needle in the right directionā€”but there's more to be done. School segregation is the worst itā€™s been in decades.

On , we recognize the ongoing struggles LGBTQI+ Americans face in living authentically, free from hate and discrimination. From our communities to Congress, we cannotā€”and will notā€”allow bigotry to prevail.

Tonight the Oversight Committee gathered to consider a contempt resolution that Republicans filed. I strongly oppose it. Disagreement is part of democracy, but the hearing descended into outright name-calling and insults about Congressmembersā€™ appearances. No American deserves

No one wants to see our national parks burned by uncontrolled wildfires. And there's one simple thing that can help National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management - National preserve our parks and reduce wildfire risk: money.

House Republicans must end their streak of slashing these budgets.

The consumerfinance.gov is an outstanding defender of consumer rightsā€”which is exactly why corporate special interests want to tear it down.

The Supreme Court made the right call.

It's , so I recently stopped by the Laguna Beach Marine Safety Station to thank our local lifeguards for keeping Californians and visitors safe. Their diligent watch and hard work make our beaches enjoyable for all.

There are so many obstacles women must overcome to runā€”and serveā€”in office. And as a single mom of three kids, it can be even more challenging.

We still have a ways to go before Congress fully looks like the people we represent.

My mom, Liz Porter, started and grew her own small business and earned a spot in the Quilter Hall of Fame. She taught me to work hard and chart my own path, and I think about that lesson while raising three kids of my own. Happy !

Young people and people with disabilities are too often overlooked in our democracy. It was so great to host students in the Orange County Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program at the Capitol this week. Our future is in good hands with such talented, bright kids!

Taxpayers are already on the hook for up to $54 billion to clean up abandoned mines.

But rather than make mining companies pay, House Republicans passed a bill that would make it EASIER to build new minesā€”and avoid cleanup costs.

Our tax dollars shouldn't help polluters turn a profit.
