Congresswoman Julia Brownley

🚨Attention! To foster a more productive and engaging social media environment, I am leaving X and moving over to Bluesky. To remain up-to-date on how I am working for you in Congress, please follow me on Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram.

As always, my office remains open to assist you. If you or someone you know need assistance with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (805) 379-1779. I’m here to help!

Every year, I have the privilege of nominating students to represent our district at one of the five prestigious service academies in the nation.

Tomorrow, on Wednesday, June 4, my office will be hosting a virtual information night for students in California's 26th Congressional District to learn more about attending a U.S. Service Academy and the Congressional nomination process. Parents are welcome to attend too!

The Trump Administration hailed DOGE as the solution to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, with Elon Musk promising to slash $2 trillion in government spending.

Now, Elon is walking away claiming he cut $150 billion – just 7.5% of what he promised – with no proof to back it up. Meanwhile, he burned through $135 billion in taxpayer dollars doing it.

If anyone’s a fraud, it’s Elon Musk. And if we’re talking about abuse of power, Musk is the poster child – making false claims, wasting billions, and walking away with zero accountability.

If the Trump Administration really wants to stop fraud, they need to start by addressing their own failures first.

Oh, and by the way: Musk continues to pocket money from government contracts that total $8 million a day.

The Trump Administration’s decision to revoke humanitarian protections for a four-year-old girl in Bakersfield is heartbreaking and unconscionable.

Two years ago, Sofia legally came to the U.S. so she could receive critical, around-the-clock care for a rare and life-threatening condition. Thanks to treatment at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, she’s been able to survive. But now, her family is facing deportation and putting her life in immediate danger.

Revoking Sofia’s legal status in the U.S. and denying her access to medical care is a cruel and inhumane act that violates our most basic values.

I’m calling on the Trump Administration to reverse its decision and allow Sofia and her family to stay in the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. Her life depends on it.

“Though the debt we owe them can never be repaid, we must strive every day to live up to the principles they defended.”

Today and every day, we honor our fallen and recommit ourselves to the enduring values of freedom and justice they stood for, and to protecting our democracy and American way of life they gave their lives to uphold.

Their sacrifice calls on us to come together as a nation, to support our veterans and their families, and to carry forward their legacy with gratitude and resolve.
