Sat down with CBS LA to share the details on the bipartisan national film tax credit bill I introduced last week. Here’s how it could stack on top of California’s existing incentives to equal a huge boost for jobs in my district: https://t.co/Ht4DFPEUr9
Today, we honor and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the countless contributions Indigenous communities make in Los Angeles and across our nation. If you would like to learn more about Los Angeles’ Indigenous peoples, check out The Autry Museum in my district. It holds one of the largest collections of Indigenous art and artifacts and is one of our most prized cultural institutions.

Today is National Coming Out Day. To those of you who have come out, haven’t yet, or can’t, know that I will always support you. As your ally in Congress, I’m fighting for a future where you can live your most authentic life, free from discrimination and hatred.
Thanks for shouting out the American Film & TV Production Caucus, @AsmNickSchultz ! He’s right. I co-founded this caucus with @RepBrianJack because bringing film and TV jobs back to America shouldn't be a partisan issue. Now we’re working around the clock to get our national film tax credit passed so that we can revitalize our economy and get Los Angelenos back to work.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s remind ourselves and others to get a mammogram if warranted, to learn about the symptoms of disease, to practice self examination, and to see a professional if symptoms appear. https://t.co/UdiPl0lQv8
The decision to livestream this execution is beyond sick. This is another in a long line of terrible decisions he has made at DoD. His negligence has needlessly risked American servicemember’s lives in an illegal war of choice and he should be impeached and removed. I'll be voting YES to impeach Sec. Hegseth when we return to Washington, so we can put an end to his disastrous tenure. https://t.co/MqHfpRZlKD
There’s just ONE WEEK left to apply for a service academy nomination from my office. Submit those applications ASAP, and reach out to my office if you have any questions. https://t.co/p7BOA7vFuG
The most important words you can say to someone struggling with their mental health are: “you are not alone.” That’s why I am co-leading the Preparing for the Future Act with @RepJoshG, which will address the shortage of mental health professionals by providing scholarships for student psychologists serving in schools. So that no one – not in my district or anywhere in the nation – will feel unseen and alone.
Shuttered prop shops, deserted small businesses, disappearing caterers – that will be our future if we fail to compete against the film tax credits offered by other countries. That's why I'm co-leading a bipartisan national film tax credit: a stackable credit on American labor for productions that shoot here. It's how we bring these jobs back home and jump start the LA economy.
