I had the pleasure of meeting with the Paralyzed Veterans of America Bay Area & Western Chapter where we discussed how the federal government can improve the lives of veterans who have given so much to our country.
This year, the PVA celebrated 80 years of advocating for veterans and ensuring they can access their homes, transportation, and fully participate in society.
Thank you for all you do!

A new report found inflation has skyrocketed to over 4% for the first time in three years.
Trump’s response? “I love the inflation.”
Mr. President, we do not love the inflation. Nor do we love your illegal war in Iran, soaring gas prices, or high costs for working families.
Trump has a new, surprising take on the higher cost of living: 'I love the inflation' President Donald Trump has a surprising take on a new report that shows inflation spiking to its highest level in three years.
TRUMP: "Once we're done with Iran, we'll stop over in Cuba."
Mr. President, we're tired of endless illegal wars and billions of taxpayer dollars being spent on foreign conflicts while Americans struggle to afford their basic needs.
Stop the wars. Don't attack Cuba.
Not a single dollar of the Republicans' budget reconciliation will be used to help lower Americans' cost of living. The money in it will go to ICE and January 6th rioters.
While Republicans are wasting your money, I'm fighting to make your lives safer, healthier, and more affordable while holding this administration accountable.
Last year, Republicans cut health care and food assistance for kids, veterans, and seniors to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
This year they're giving ICE another $70 billion and giving a $1.8 billion bailout to January 6th rioters and Trump's friends.
Wait for it… Trump wants to rig elections for himself.
California elections take so long to count because of how big the state is. LA County alone is bigger than 41 states.
Not to mention, there's a rigorous checking process with Democratic, Republican, and Independent vote checkers.
There's a reason California elections are some of the safest in the U.S.
Iran holds the cards, not Trump.
They control the Strait of Hormuz and which is jacking up the cost of gasoline.
If I had known how expensive Trump was going to make diesel, I wouldn't have bought that F-250.
Last week, a handful of Republicans helped pass a bill to end Trump's Iran War.
But the chances of it passing the Senate are slim to none because of Trump's threats against Republicans who vote against him.
It's time for Trump to stop his threats and stop his war in Iran.
