As a former teacher, I always wanted to be a principal. Thank you to @YbarraAcademy for making that dream come true. An even bigger thank you to the teachers and staff inspiring tomorrow’s nurses, engineers, artists, and leaders. Our community is stronger because of you. https://t.co/xFEypCqiwR

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the cultures, languages, and traditions that Indigenous communities have carried across generations. Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities are central to the American story and continue to shape and strengthen our nation today. https://t.co/4mD3gvLdb8

The Trump administration can’t rewrite the law just because they don’t like it. I led my Democratic colleagues in opposing a rule that would block certain legal immigrants who work and pay taxes from claiming the tax credits they’ve earned. https://t.co/dni1KFyDoo

The lives of my constituents are not a “small price to pay.” President Trump’s willingness to even joke about sacrificing American cities and the millions of families who live in them shows he has no business being Commander in Chief.

Hope you can join us tomorrow night

Another shitty jobs report for the supposed businessman who said “he alone can fix” the economy. Only 29K jobs created, with unemployment rising to 4.2%. Tell us more about how everything is “stronger than ever," Donald Trump.

Too many film and TV productions and the good-paying jobs they support are leaving the United States. That’s why I’m proud to lead a bipartisan, bicameral effort to bring film jobs back home, support our workers, and strengthen local economies. 🎬 https://t.co/p7vl7z5Vg2

ICE shot an immigrant this week and beat up a U.S. citizen. And the details are even more disturbing. Yet, the Trump administration still hasn’t held anyone accountable. #ICEwatch https://t.co/vcSm7GlX4S

WASHINGTON — Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.), along with Congressman Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas), today introduced the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, a bipartisan bill to revive film and television production in the United States and drive economic growth in local communities. The bill would create a federal tax credit for productions made in the United States to reverse the flow of film and television jobs to foreign countries that are luring these productions away. It would bring that work back to American production crews, small businesses and communities that depend on the industry.Sánchez and Moran were joined by Representatives Brian Jack (R-Ga.), Laura Friedman (D-Calif.), David Kustoff (R-Tenn.), Judy Chu (D-Calif.), Mike Carey (R-Ohio) and Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) in introducing the bill. Senators Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) introduced companion legislation in the Senate. “The United States is losing good-paying union jobs because it’s become too expensive to film here,” said Congresswoman Sánchez. “This isn’t about the actors who star in films and can travel for a shoot. It’s about the production crews and set builders, the backbone of the film industry. Our bill would create incentives to bring those jobs back home and boost local economies, not just in California, but across the country.” “When a production comes to a community – from rural East Texas to urban New York – that money doesn’t just benefit the production company,” said Congressman Moran. “It helps the local caterer, the hardware store, the hoteliers, and every tradesman in between who makes film and television production possible. Those jobs are going overseas right now simply because other countries are offering bigger handouts. If we want to keep American storytelling in America, we have to level the playing field, and that’s exactly what this bill does. This isn’t about subsidizing Hollywood – it’s about supporting the American worker, one story and one production at a time. I’m proud to work with Senator Scott and our bipartisan group in both chambers to get this done, and I’m grateful to Ambassador Jon Voight and Sean Astin for the work they’ve put into pushing this forward.” “My Congressional District is home to Trilith Studios, and I proudly represent the craftsmen, electricians, and carpenters who work hard to create movies that inspire generations of Americans,” said Congressman Jack. “Study after study has demonstrated that American film production delivers substantial economic benefits to communities across our country by creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and generating millions of dollars in local economic Activity. I applaud President Trump’s leadership in calling for a legislative solution to bring film production back to the United States, and I look forward to working with him and my colleagues in Congress to advance our legislation and achieve this important goal.” “For over a year, I’ve worked to build a coalition of unions, studios, Republicans and Democrats, and the White House, because we knew that a national film tax credit would bring hundreds of thousands of jobs back to our country,” said Congresswoman Friedman. “This bill is a result of that coalition. It tells every country that has been outbidding us for American work that we are done losing.” “For generations, Southern California has been the heart of America’s film and television industry, supporting thousands of workers and small businesses in the San Gabriel Valley and across our region,” said Congresswoman Chu. “But today, too many productions are leaving for other countries, taking good-paying jobs and economic opportunity with them. We cannot stand by while communities across the United States lose these productions and the jobs they support. That’s why I am so proud to co-lead the bipartisan, bicameral Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, which will create a new federal tax credit to incentivize film and television production here in America. This bill will help bring productions and jobs back home, support our creative workforce, and keep Southern California the entertainment capital of the world.” “Ohio has a rich history in film production, from ‘The Deer Hunter’ and ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ to ‘The Avengers’ and ‘A Christmas Story,’” said Congressman Carey. “Many of these filming locations have become tourist attractions and are economic drivers to this day. The film industry provides high-paying jobs for artists, small businesses, and union workers. As other countries implement beneficial tax incentives to draw production away from the United States, Congress must work to ensure the United States stays competitive. I would like to commend Representative Moran for introducing this important legislation. As Chairman of the Humanities Caucus and a member of the tax-writing committee, I am confident this bill will help the United States maintain its global influence, as well as the high-paying jobs, associated with film production.” “The film and TV industry is an economic engine in New York. It supports thousands of good jobs at good wages,” said Congressman Suozzi. “America is the entertainment leader of the world and this bill incentivizes filmmakers and studios to hire American workers. I’m proud to help lead this commonsense, bipartisan effort.” “Having worked in a movie theater growing up, I saw early on how films can move and inspire generations of Americans. Films like ‘The Notebook’ bring us to tears, and films like ‘Forrest Gump’ inspire us to see the world differently. That is the power of film, and South Carolina is blessed to serve as the backdrop for both of these iconic American stories,” said Senator Scott. “We cannot stand by as more and more American film production moves overseas, taking jobs, investment, and an important source of American cultural influence with it. This legislation will create jobs in communities across America, support local economies, and help ensure that the next generation of iconic American films is made right here in America.” “For years, I’ve been championing a federal film tax credit to stop the exodus of TV and film production leaving the United States for countries offering higher incentives,” said Senator Schiff. “Now, we have the best opportunity in decades to get it done. The direct and indirect jobs created by this creative and talented workforce are enormously important, and we want to make sure they stay in this country. With the support of the White House, our bill will create an overdue federal program to bring the movie magic back to America while creating thousands of jobs and spurring local economic growth across the nation. This legislation has bipartisan, bicameral support, and it’s time we get this passed.” The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act would: Spur American jobs and economic development by providing a 20 percent federal, labor-based tax credit to U.S. film and television productions with minimum spend of $1 million and where at least 75 percent of the principal photography days occur within the United States; Offer 5 percent bonus credit allowances, increasing the base credit up to a maximum of 30 percent, for productions in rural opportunity zones and areas impacted by disasters, independent productions, multi-state producers in 10+ states, and producers who show a measurable onshoring of productions; Make the credit available to traditional post-production and visual effects activities when at least 75 percent of the respective post-production and visual effects production takes place in the U.S; and Support the investments of states currently offering incentives by allowing the federal incentive to supplement state credits. The bill is endorsed by the American Federation of Musicians, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; the Coalition for American Production; CreativeFuture; the Directors Guild of America; FilmUSA; the Independent Film and Television Alliance; the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees; the Motion Picture Association; Netflix; Paramount; the Producers Guild of America; the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists; Sony Pictures Entertainment; the Teamsters, the Television Academy; the Walt Disney Company; Warner Bros Discovery; the Writers Guild of America East and the Writers Guild of America West; and the U.S. Film and Television Production Coalition.

Families just want to be able to afford groceries and gas, instead we have Secretary Bessent wasting taxpayer money to hangout with Jake Paul. Make it make sense.

WASHINGTON – The Ways and Means Committee yesterday unanimously passed the bipartisan Concentrating on High-Value Alzheimer’s Needs to Get to an End (CHANGE) Act, a bill introduced by Representatives Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.), Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), Doris Matsui (D-Calif.) and Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) that would promote early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The CHANGE Act directs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to identify cognitive impairment detection tools to help clinicians more effectively detect, refer and diagnose Alzheimer’s and related dementias in their earliest stages when intervention can be most impactful. The bill was included as part of the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, a bipartisan, comprehensive bill to improve the early detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. “This is deeply personal for me. I lost both of my parents to Alzheimer’s, and I know firsthand how much earlier detection could have meant for our family,” said Congresswoman Sánchez. “Advancing this bill out of committee brings us one step closer to giving other families that chance. I’m grateful to my Ways and Means colleagues for passing our bipartisan bill and will keep fighting to get it signed into law.” “Alzheimer’s impacts millions of Americans, and we must do everything we can to support the search for a cure. This bipartisan bill provides help to patients and clinicians through expanded early detection support and improved data collection,” said Congressman LaHood. “The CHANGE Act, coupled with the ASAP Act, will strengthen existing tools to help streamline and broaden the ability for earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's and other forms dementia. I thank Congresswoman Sánchez for her collaboration on this critical legislation and my Ways and Means colleagues for advancing this bill as we work to find ways to support patients, their families, and caregivers.” “Alzheimer’s touches millions of families, and identifying the disease early can make a meaningful difference for patients and their loved ones,” said Congresswoman Matsui. “The CHANGE Act brings us closer to giving healthcare providers the tools to recognize the warning signs sooner and connect families with the care and support they need. I’m proud this bipartisan legislation is moving forward so more families can have more time, better care, and greater hope.” “Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that has touched my family personally, so I understand the tremendous toll it takes not only on patients, but also on the loved ones who care for them,” said Congressman Bilirakis. “As promising new treatments continue to emerge, early detection and diagnosis are more important than ever. The bipartisan CHANGE Act will help ensure patients and their doctors have better tools to identify cognitive decline earlier, when interventions may have the greatest impact. I am pleased to see this important legislation advance out of Committee as part of a broader package, bringing us another step closer to improving care, preserving quality of life, and ultimately finding a cure for this terrible disease.” An estimated 13.8 million Americans aged 65 and older are projected to develop Alzheimer's by 2060. The CHANGE Act would provide critical support for caregivers and accelerate progress toward effective disease-modifying treatments. Alzheimer’s disease is the fifth-leading cause of death in America, and it is estimated that Black Americans are twice as likely and Latinos are 1.5 times as likely to develop the disease. The CHANGE Act is endorsed by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s, American Academy of Neurology, Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, Alliance for Aging Research, Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, Gerontological Society of America, American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, Latinos Against Alzheimer’s and USAging. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) previously introduced companion legislation to the CHANGE Act in the Senate. ###

Thank you, @CHCI, for having me at your Leadership Conference to discuss trade and tariffs. As Ranking Member of the @WaysMeansCmte Trade Subcommittee, I know these policies have real consequences for American workers, families, and businesses. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss what’s at stake to the next generation of Latino leaders.

I recently met with @sagaftra's President, @SeanAstin, to discuss the challenges working actors and performers face. Film and TV support 2 million American jobs, and as the industry enters a new era, we must keep standing up for the workers who keep it running. Thank you, Sean, for coming to D.C. and for the important conversation!
