WASHINGTON – Rep. Lauren Underwood’s bipartisan legislation that would require new Amtrak trains to be equipped with baby changing stations in all restrooms, the Baby Changing On Board Act (H.R. 248), has passed the House with unanimous support. The legislation is co-led by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Senators Peter Welch (D-VT), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

Amtrak serves millions of families as a reliable and affordable transportation option, but many trains still lack basic facilities such as baby changing stations, creating unnecessary challenges for parents and caregivers. Under the Baby Changing on Board Act, Amtrak would utilize existing funds to install baby changing stations in new train cars, making sure all trains meet a minimum service standard for family amenities.

“Parents and caregivers shouldn’t have to worry about whether there’s a safe, clean place to care for their kids while traveling,” said Rep. Underwood. “I am so pleased that this legislation has passed the House and is now one step closer to becoming law. This common-sense, bipartisan legislation is a practical and necessary step to make sure families have access to the amenities they need on Amtrak.”

The Baby Changing on Board Act represents a significant step forward for families, especially those undertaking long journeys on Amtrak routes. By ensuring new trains are equipped with basic, family-friendly facilities, this legislation promotes a more inclusive and accessible travel experience for parents and caregivers nationwide.

The Baby Changing on Board Act is supported by leading organizations, including A Better Balance, MomsRising Together, and the National Women’s Law Center.

SAN JOSE, CA – Today, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (CA-18) released the following statement after the Trump Administration deployed California’s National Guard in response to ongoing protests in Los Angeles, California: 

“Trump’s unwarranted and unwise deployment of California’s National Guard over the objections of California officials is likely intended to inflame the situation. It’s not a surprise that when masked and armed ICE agents deployed across communities arresting working people, parents, and neighbors there would be objections. This was aggravated when, as he was peacefully protesting, union leader David Huerta was pushed by ICE, injured, and then arrested. Many of us, observing Trump’s authoritarian bent, have been concerned that he would look for some excuse to seize control from civilian authorities. Our citizen soldiers, members of California’s National Guard, should not be abused in this way. But given Trump’s view of soldiers as “ losers,” he obviously doesn’t care that these volunteers have been called away from their jobs and families for no good reason other than creating a scene and potentially creating an environment where violence and disorder may be stimulated.”

Today, the House of Representatives unanimously passed the Secure Our Ports Act of 2025, H.R. 252, bipartisan legislation introduced by Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) earlier this year. H.R. 252 will strengthen our national security by prohibiting certain foreign entities, including state-owned enterprises of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, from entering into contracts for the ownership, leasing, or operation of U.S. port facilities that are subject to security plans.

“I want to thank my House colleagues for passing the Secure Our Ports Act and taking an important step in protecting our critically important port facilities,” said Rep. Calvert. “America’s ports are essential gateways for trade and commerce. We cannot jeopardize America’s economic and national security by allowing foreign adversaries, like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, to own and operate port infrastructure.”

The Secure Our Ports Act prohibits the ownership, leasing, or operation of port facilities by an entity that is a Chinese, Russian, North Korean, or Iranian state-owned enterprise, or a foreign entity for which any percentage is owned by one of those four countries.

According to reports, “China owns or operates ports and terminals at nearly 100 locations in over 50 countries.” Last year, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party issued a report highlighting its national security concerns over the influence of critical port infrastructure by Chinese-owned enterprises. Recently, the Defense Department included a number of Chinese shipping firms to a list of companies it identifies as military in nature.

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) issued the following statement after voting to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:

“I promised voters that if they sent me back to Congress, I would fight to keep their taxes low – and that’s exactly what this One Big Beautiful Bill does. The passage of the bill will prevent the looming tax increase that would be the largest in our nation’s history. Job growth, take-home pay, and economic opportunities hit historic highs following the passage of the 2017 tax cuts. This bill extends and expands those pro-worker and pro-family policies.

To support American workers, the bill eliminates federal income taxes on tips and overtime. To support retirees, the bill includes new tax relief for seniors. To support families, the bill increases the state and local taxes (SALT) deduction cap to $40,000 as well as extends and expands the child tax credit that Republicans doubled in 2017. To support job creators, the bill expands and makes permanent the small business deduction and allows 100% immediate expensing.

The One Big Beautiful Bill includes resources that will allow the Trump Administration to solidify the tremendous progress made in securing our border by completing the southern Border Wall and investing in our Border Patrol. To secure America and support our military, the bill will allow the Defense Department to acquire ships, aircraft, and other essential weapons systems as well as invest in the innovation entities within the Department focused on deploying vital capabilities in a time frame of relevance.

I have made it clear throughout this process that I would not support cuts to Medicaid for seniors, children, mothers, and the disabled. The One Big Beautiful Bill protects these populations and does NOT cut Medicaid for seniors, children, mothers, and the disabled. The bill makes NO changes to Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits.

The changes to Medicaid strengthen the program by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. The bill ensures federal tax dollars are not used to provide Medicaid benefits for illegal immigrants through new immigration status check rules. The bill also implements sensible 20-hour per week work requirements – which can be satisfied through either employment, volunteering, or education – for able adults without children under 65 years of age. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the only individuals estimated to lose Medicaid benefits because of the bill are illegal immigrants, ineligible recipients who will lose coverage due to better enforcement of eligibility rules, and able adults without children who refuse to satisfy the new work requirements. These are reasonable, responsible Medicaid reforms that protect the most vulnerable as well as taxpayers.”

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) and Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35) praised the advancement of H.R. 672 by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The bill requires the U.S. Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for the city of Eastvale, in addition to other communities across the country. Reps. Calvert and Torres both represent portions of the city of Eastvale in the House of Representatives.

“Eastvale residents and small businesses are one step closer to having the single, unique ZIP Code they have been seeking since incorporating as a city,” said Rep. Calvert. “As we have heard, establishing a single, unique ZIP Code for Eastvale is important for the city’s identity, GPS directions, insurance rates, the collection of sales taxes, and other factors. I’m thankful for the support of Rep. Torres and my House colleagues who have supported this legislation.”

“For too long, Eastvale has faced unnecessary challenges due to the lack of a single, unique ZIP Code. I’m proud to work with Congressman Calvert as we push for a bipartisan solution that meets the needs of Eastvale’s growing community,” said Congresswoman Norma Torres. “This bill is about more than numbers-it’s about ensuring every resident, small business, and neighborhood is accurately represented and properly served. Today’s vote in committee is a big step forward for fairness- and we will continue to push for passage through the full House of Representatives.”

Earlier this year, Reps. Calvert and Torres reintroduced legislation, H.R. 1225, to establish a unique ZIP Code for the city of Eastvale. That bill was incorporated into H.R. 672, an omnibus ZIP Code bill introduced by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26). 

Currently, the city of Eastvale is split between two ZIP codes, 91752 and 92880. The 91752 ZIP code is shared between Eastvale and the city of Jurupa Valley. The City of Eastvale was incorporated in 2010 and has a population of approximately 70,000.

Washington, D.C.— Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale), with Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA), introduced the bipartisan Keeping Homeownership Costs Down Act (H.R. 3800) to help reduce housing costs by directing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to resume issuing exemption letters, while court-mandated Endangered Species Act (ESA) reviews take place, that keep homeowners from having to purchase expensive flood insurance if their properties are unlikely to flood.

“California families are already struggling with the rising cost of housing and requiring them to purchase expensive flood insurance when their home is unlikely to flood adds another financial burden to homeownership,” said Rep. LaMalfa. “Following a court ruling in 2019, FEMA stopped issuing exemptions while it was forced to conduct additional and duplicative environmental reviews of this practice.  This is ridiculous.  My common sense, bipartisan bill helps make owning a home more affordable by requiring FEMA to restart issuing flood insurance purchase exemptions right away while environmental reviews take place.

“In Northern California, we have long had to balance lifesaving flood protection measures with our critical need for additional housing,” said Rep. Matsui. “The Keeping Homeownership Costs Down Act is a commonsense fix that restores a tool in building affordable houses in our region. By ensuring FEMA can continue issuing LOMR-Fs, we prevent families from being priced out of homeownership while upholding key environmental protections.”

Background:

• CLOMR-F and LOMR-F letters allow FEMA to revise flood maps for properties that have been elevated above flood zones, removing the federal requirement to purchase flood insurance.
• FEMA stopped issuing these letters in six counties in 2020, expanding the pause to 32 counties in 2023, after a lawsuit required the agency to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service under the ESA on these letters.
• California builds fewer than 80,000 homes per year despite needing around 180,000 annually to meet demand. Rising construction costs and mandatory flood insurance contribute to high housing prices.
• Developers already go through ESA compliance when seeking permits to build housing projects. Requiring FEMA to conduct separate ESA reviews for LOMR-F and CLOMR-F letters add regulatory duplication without improving environmental protections.
• The Keeping Homeownership Costs Down Act directs FEMA to issue the letters, as appropriate, until the ESA consultation process is completed, helping lower housing costs and avoid unnecessary delays.

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and a lifelong farmer representing California’s First Congressional District, including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties.

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Julia Brownley (CA-26) and Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24) released the following statement regarding reports of recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations throughout Ventura County, California. These operations follow a wave of escalated enforcement in neighboring Los Angeles County and are spreading fear, chaos, and distress across the region.

“We have received disturbing reports of ICE enforcement actions in Ventura County, including in Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and Camarillo, where agents have reportedly stopped vehicles, loitered near schools, and attempted to enter agricultural properties and facilities in the Oxnard Plain. These actions are completely unjustified, deeply harmful, and raise serious questions about the agency’s tactics and its respect for due process.

“Let us be clear: these raids are not about public safety. They are about stoking fear. These are not criminals being targeted. They are hardworking people and families who are an essential part of Ventura County. Our local economy, like much of California’s and the country’s as a whole, depends on undocumented labor. These men and women are the backbone of our farms, our fields, our construction and service industries, and our communities.

“We are outraged by the cruelty and recklessness of this campaign. It is unconscionable. The Trump administration is deliberately inflicting harm on immigrant families and doing so without transparency, accountability, or even basic communication with Congress. Neither we nor our colleagues have received any notification or briefing from ICE about these activities. Our inquiries to the administration have gone unanswered. This total lack of transparency is unacceptable.

“The Trump administration continues to use immigration enforcement as a political weapon, targeting vulnerable families to score political points. This is not how you keep people safe. In fact, this kind of chaos only makes our communities more insecure. And as these actions continue to traumatize families and tear communities apart, they are also tearing at the fabric of our humanity and who we are as a country.

“ICE should be focused on individuals who pose real threats to public safety, not terrorizing entire communities with broad, unjust sweeps. These actions are a misuse of limited resources and a betrayal of the values that define us as Americans.

“We will continue working closely with state and local officials to protect our community and ensure that all Ventura County families, regardless of immigration status, feel safe. We can and we must enforce our immigration laws while upholding the rule of law and respecting due process. The Trump administration must be held accountable for these deeply damaging and politically motivated actions. We remain committed to protecting the rights, safety, and well-being of every resident of Ventura County.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV), and Congressmen Marc Veasey (D-TX), Sam Graves (R-MO), and Troy Carter (D-LA), reintroduced the Community Training, Education, and Access for Medical Students (TEAMS) Act. The Community TEAMS Act creates a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant program which would provide community-based training for medical students in rural and medically underserved communities. 
 
“Americans in rural communities deserve the same quality of health care treatment as patients in more populated areas. The Community TEAMS Act gives medical students the ability to adapt to medical challenges that may arise while serving in rural communities and provides them with opportunities to practice medicine in the rural workforce. By training medical students in underserved areas of our country, we are laying the foundation for better health care in the U.S.,” said Congresswoman Miller.

 “In communities across the DFW area and throughout Texas, where many families rely on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) for essential care, we need more medical professionals who are trained and ready to meet the needs of underserved populations. I am proud to help introduce the Community TEAMS Act, which will ensure that medical students gain the community-based training they need to serve communities like ours. By expanding medical training opportunities, we can improve health outcomes and make sure every patient, regardless of ZIP code or income, has access to high-quality care,” said Congressman Veasey.

“Being a doctor in a rural area provides a unique set of challenges. That’s why it’s critical our medical students have access to rural clinical settings, so they get the on the job training necessary to provide exceptional care to rural Americans. The Community Training, Education, Access for Medical Students Act does exactly that and I’m proud help introduce it,” said Congressman Graves.

“I’m proud to reintroduce the bipartisan Community TEAMS Act because I’m committed to strengthening our healthcare workforce and ensuring access to quality care for every community. This bill will expand clinical training in rural and underserved areas—where care is essential and where students can make the greatest impact. By forging partnerships between medical schools and community-based clinics, we are addressing provider shortages and investing in a healthcare system that reflects the people it serves. This is how we build a stronger, more equitable future in healthcare,” said Congressman Carter 

The Community TEAMS Act is supported by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and the National Rural Health Association (NRHA): 

“The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine applauds Representatives Miller, Veasey, Graves and Carter for reintroducing the Community TEAMS Act. We need more medical school rotations in rural communities, as students who train in these areas are nearly three times more likely to return and serve them as physicians. With 64 percent of colleges of osteopathic medicine requiring clinical rotations in rural and underserved areas, this bill is a vital step toward expanding rural training opportunities, strengthening the physician workforce and improving healthcare access in communities that need it most,” said Robert A. Cain, DO, President and CEO of AACOM.

“On behalf of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) and the osteopathic medical community, I applaud Representatives Carol Miller, Marc Veasey, Sam Graves, and Troy Carter, for championing the Community TEAMS Act. A long-time champion of WVSOM, osteopathic medicine and rural health care, Rep. Carol Miller recognizes the importance of providing medical students with clinical training in community-based settings to ensure they understand the unique healthcare needs of rural and underserved populations. Rep. Miller knows this training also addresses our physician workforce shortage by increasing the probability these students will practice in the communities after graduation. Rep. Miller is a Congressional leader who understands the needs of her constituents and rural regions of this country. WVSOM and our students thank her for working to advance this critical legislation and support medical education,” said James W. Nemitz, Ph.D., President of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine.

“The AAMC proudly supports the Community TEAMS Act, which takes a vital step toward strengthening the physician workforce by expanding clinical training in rural and underserved areas. This emphasis on the workforce is important and necessary now more than ever. We thank Representatives Carol Miller, Marc Veasey, Sam Graves, and Troy Carter for their leadership on this critical legislation that will help ensure future physicians are prepared to serve communities where they are needed most,” said Danielle Turnipseed, JD, MHSA, MPP, Chief Public Policy Officer, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

“The National Rural Health Association thanks Representatives Miller, Veasey, Graves, and Carter for their introduction of the Community TEAMS Act. We know that where medical students rotate and train influences their decision of where they ultimately practice, making exposure to rural community-based settings key to recruiting and retaining a robust physician workforce. We applaud the Representatives for creating new opportunities for medical students to gain valuable rural outpatient experience during their academic careers,” said Alan Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, NRHA.

Background:

• The HRSA grant program under the Community TEAMS Act will fund medical school clinical rotations in rural and underserved areas.
• 75% of medical schools report concerns of having only a few training sites in rural communities across the country.

WASHINGTON, DC – Representatives Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), Representative Nanette Barragán (CA-44), and 39 other California Delegation Representatives are demanding President Doanld Trump immediately withdraw the National Guard and U.S. Marines from Los Angeles, California. In a bicameral letter sent today, the lawmakers condemn the deployments as an unlawful overreach that bypassed state and local authority and urge the immediate withdrawal of the National Guard and Marines.

“We are writing to express grave concern regarding the deployment of the National Guard and the activation of 700 Marines to Los Angeles. These actions were taken without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom and over the objections of local law enforcement. It constitutes a clear violation of constitutional principles and law, and a grave overreach of executive authority,” wrote the lawmakers.

“This deployment does not appear to be motivated by any public safety emergency that could not be dealt with successfully by local authorities. Instead, it coincides with a broader federal enforcement escalation involving mass ICE raids, militarized immigration tactics, and the use of tear gas and riot control methods in civilian areas. These actions undermine civil liberties, destabilize communities, erode public trust in government institutions, and violate the law,” continued the lawmakers.

On June 7 and June 9, Rep. Jimmy Gomez was illegally denied access to the Roybal Federal Building, where ICE is reportedly detaining migrant families—including moms and kids—under inhumane conditions. Rep. Gomez called for a formal DHS investigation and submitted a written inquiry demanding answers and accountability from Secretary Kristi Noem. As protests erupted in Los Angeles in response to the raids and detentions, the Trump administration escalated the situation by authorizing the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines—without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom and over the objections of local elected and community leaders. They argue the legal authority Trump cited doesn’t apply—making the deployment plainly unlawful.

“As federal officials we must prioritize de-escalation and adherence to the constitutional principles that govern the balance of power between federal and state and local governments. For these reasons, we urge you to immediately withdraw the National Guard and U.S. Marines from Los Angeles and to refrain from further deployments of any military personnel in circumstances that violate constitutional boundaries and escalate domestic tensions,” concluded the lawmakers.

In addition to Representative Gomez, Senator Schiff, and Representative Barragán, the bicameral letter was signed by Representatives Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Pete Aguilar (CA-33), Ami Bera (CA-6), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Judy Chu (CA-28), Gilbert Cisneros Jr. (CA-31), Lou Correa (CA-46), Jim Costa (CA-21), Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10), Laura Friedman (CA-30), John Garamendi (CA-8), Robert Garcia (CA-42), Jared Huffman (CA-2), Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), Ro Khanna (CA-17), Sam Liccardo (CA-16), Ted Lieu (CA-36), Doris Matsui (CA-7), Dave Min (CA-47), Kevin Mullin (CA-15), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Scott Peters (CA-50), Luz Rivas (CA-29), Raul Ruiz (CA-25), Linda Sánchez (CA-38), Brad Sherman (CA-32), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Eric Swalwell (CA-14), Mark Takano (CA-39), Mike Thompson (CA-4), Norma Torres (CA-35), Derek Tran (CA-45), Juan Vargas (CA-52), Maxine Waters (CA-43), and George Whitesides (CA-27).

WASHINGTON – Today, in a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) slammed 23andMe for exploiting people’s DNA and private information following a severe data breach and bankruptcy – allowing more than 15 million people’s personal and genetic data to be sold off. The Congresswoman demanded 23andMe require the explicit, informed consent of each of their customers before including their data in any bankruptcy sale.

A transcript of the Congresswoman’s remarks, as delivered, is available below, and the full video is available here.

Transcript: Pressley Slams 23andMe for Exploitation of Customers’ DNA, Demands Protection of Sensitive Private Data

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

June 10, 2025

REP. PRESSLEY: Ms. Wojcicki, you claimed that 23andMe is all about consumer empowerment. But most people ended up actually exploited, not knowing that they signed up to have their genetic data auctioned off to the highest bidder.

And we’re not talking about email addresses. We’re talking about names, birthdates, genetic lineages – literal DNA. Data that implicates entire families, not just the person who gave the sample.

Ms. Wojcicki, can genetic data – even if de-identified – be linked back to individuals?

MS. WOJCICKI: I appreciate that question – could genetic data be linked back to individuals? You would – you can link back. Your DNA is your DNA. If I have a way of matching it to something that potentially connects to you, then you can potentially identify.

REP. PRESSLEY: So, the answer is yes. The answer is yes. The genetic data – even if de-identified – can be linked back to individuals, just the science.

MS. WOJCICKI: Well, no. If I had your sample – essentially, if I know what your picture looks like and I see another picture, I can connect those. But just having your DNA alone – if I just went to the subway and I swabbed it and I looked at samples, I would not be able to identify who’s there.

REP. PRESSLEY: Let me reclaim my time, because I don’t have much of it and there’s a lot of ground to cover here – and I want a more direction question here, so I’m going to go to Ms. Hu.

Is de-identified genetic data truly anonymous, or can it be traced back to individuals, Ms. Hu?

MS. HU: Thank you so much, Congresswoman. I’m not a scientific expert on that exactly, but there has been research on the limits of de-identification and also the risks of re-identification.

REP. PRESSLEY: Alright, fair enough. Yes – it absolutely can. With just a few pieces of additional information – like zip codes, gender, or 23andMe’s find your relative feature – it becomes easy to re-identify people and expose their personal health information.

23andMe’s privacy agreement talks about anonymous data, but DNA can never truly be anonymous. That is the point.

Now, Ms. Wojcicki – you said a limited number of customers were compromised by the data beach. But the truth of the matter is that out of the 15 million people who trusted this company, half of them – 7 million – had their data exposed.

So that’s not inconsequential. It’s deeply consequential.

And now, that same data could be sold off to a for-profit pharmaceutical company, so you can understand why people are rushing to delete their accounts.

But the thing is when people have tried to log in and delete their data, they received error messages and then the website crashed. That is not okay. Your company is preventing people from deleting their information.

Mr. Selsavage, it’s time to put people first. Will you contact each of your customers seeking consent for 23andMe to continue holding their data? Yes or no? It should be a simple opt-in communication that you send out before any bankruptcy sale – I want to really underscore that.

MR. SELSAVAGE: Congresswoman, we first have sent a notice out to all of our customers via email, notifying them of the sale and that we – a second email is currently going out this week, notifying –

REP. PRESSLEY: Reclaiming my time. Please just answer the question yes or no, okay? Will you commit to contacting each of your customers seeking consent for 23andMe to continue holding their data? This should be a simple opt-in communication that you send out before any bankruptcy sale. Yes or no?

MR. SELSAVAGE: Congresswoman, it’s not that simple. We believe we’ve already –

REP. PRESSLEY: Why not? People are deserving of this, these assurances and this insurance – they’ve been violated in so many ways.

Ms. Wojcicki, will you amend your bid to commit to a similar consent requirement then?

MS. WOJCICKI: I don’t believe I can talk extensively about my bankruptcy – about the bid – but I can say in the past, for example, when we did the GSK partnership, we proactively communicated with all customers.

REP. PRESSLEY: I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that. It’s not good enough, it’s not good enough. It is just not good enough.

People trusted you with their most personal information. Show them you respect them.

They do not need your apologies anymore, and they don’t need your sympathy. What they need is legal protection.

So if you are not able to protect the 15 million people and their families who trusted you, this company should not exist. The breach of data. The breach of civil liberties. The confusion this has caused for millions.

It might just be time to give it up.

I yield back.
