Rep. Luz Rivas
Engineer. Educator. Representative for the San Fernando Valley in Congress.
- 100 days of chaos. 100 days of cruelty. 100 days of broken promises. For 100 days, the Trump Administration has done nothing but wreak pain and havoc on working families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov are standing up to Trump's antics and protecting the American people.
- Reposted by Rep. Luz RivasCosts are up under Donald Trump and the Republican Budget will make it worse. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repluzrivas.bsky.social explains how slashing Medicaid and food assistance will make life harder for working families already struggling with the high cost of living.
- Join me for a town hall this Saturday at 11 am! I will be holding a town hall focused on fighting back against the Trump/Musk agenda, including the Administration’s anti-immigrant agenda and its attempts to rip away your healthcare! RSVP required: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
- Rest in Peace to Pope Francis, the People's Pope and the first Latin American Pope. We have a duty to ensure our government upholds his legacy of leading with love, showing empathy toward the immigrant community, and compassion for our most vulnerable. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
- Reposted by Rep. Luz RivasWe are grateful for leaders like Congresswoman @repluzrivas.bsky.social who continue to support our local community and programs like Head Start. Thank you for taking the time to visit our center to learn how this program helps children and families thrive.

- I just got off the Senate floor where @booker.senate.gov is going on hour 19 of his filibuster against the harmful actions Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE are taking. He is standing against their cuts to Medicaid and Social Security. We stand with him and the American people.
- Today we honor #CésarChávez’s legacy & accomplishments for immigrant laborers and farmworkers in California & across the country. We are continuing his fight for justice and for reforms that respect the dignity of workers, keeps families together, & creates a path to citizenship. ¡Sí, se puede!
- As a result of their short-sighted and illegal mass firings of the federal science workforce, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE put the public health of Americans, the safety of our communities, and our global competitiveness at risk. I co-sponsored 5 bills to halt the chaotic mass firings.
- More details about the text messages have been revealed. It’s clear - Pete Hegseth lied. Americans, our service members, and our country are less safe under his leadership. FIRE HEGSETH.

- Instead of addressing the widening academic achievement gap, preventing school shootings, or making college more affordable – issues all families care about – the Trump Administration is choosing to steal from our children and their futures to give more tax breaks to billionaires.
- To pay for tax cuts for their billionaire donors, Republicans' budget would cut Medicaid for over 370,000 people in CA-29. This includes over 133,000 children and 45,000 seniors. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to protect Medicaid for working families across the country.
- Reposted by Rep. Luz RivasWelcome to the Democratic Daily Download. Every day, you will hear from @housedemocrats.bsky.social on how we’re fighting back against Trump and the GOP — as they rip off working families to give massive tax breaks to their billionaire donors. Today's update: our Day of Action to Save Medicaid.

Luz Rivas"We can't use the same tools that we have in the past to stop something like this, because something like this has never happened before in our government." @repluzrivas.bsky.social of California's 29th Congressional District joined @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social this morning! siriusxm.us/Zerlina
- THREAD 🧵 This week, while I was voting in Washington, my team went to a town hall in Sun Valley to hear from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about how debris from the recent wildfires will be handled and stored.
- The Northeast San Fernando Valley has an unfortunate history when it comes to bearing the brunt of environmental challenges and disasters.
- I wrote to @USACEHQ for answers to the wildfire cleanup process, including: - How the debris will be stored and transferred through CA-29 - How transporting and storing debris will impact public health and the environment - The role of third party contractors in this process
- Prioritizing public health and the environmental impacts this would have on our community remains the one of my top priorities.
- The Republicans' spending bill is a reckless attack on the services and programs that support families, seniors, and veterans across the country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue to stand with the American people to lower their costs and protect Medicaid and Social Security.
- NTEU represents federal employees in 37 departments and offices. From serving veterans to researching cancer treatments, these workers show up every day to serve the American people. House Democrats and I are standing with them against DOGE and Elon Musk.
- Happy #PiDay 🥧 As an electrical engineer and the only Latina with a STEM background in Congress, I hosted my first Pi Day on the Hill! I used to do host Pi Day every year in Sacramento, and I’m excited to bring this tradition to Washington, D.C.
- I joined @congresstran.bsky.social and more than 60 of my colleagues in urging Senator Schumer to reject the Republican CR that would make life harder for working families. We need to come together to pass a 30 day CR so we can work on a bill that benefits all Americans.
- My heart goes out to my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleague Rep. Grijalva. I will cherish the advice he gave me when I first came to Congress. His work for AZ & as Chair of the Natural Resources Committee, where he was a champion for environmental justice & tribal communities, won't be forgotten.
- It is the honor of a lifetime to represent my home — the Northeast San Fernando Valley — in Congress. I will fight for opportunities for students to get ahead, protect immigrant communities, and ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for all. sanfernandosun.com/2025/03/12/h...
- @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand united for a four-week government funding extension that: 🔹 Stops harmful cuts 🔹 Keeps government open 🔹 Allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.
- House Republicans' funding bill fails to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from cuts that are being pushed by Elon Musk. I'm standing with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues in voting against their bill and protecting seniors and families across the country.
- Today, I reaffirmed my oath to the San Fernando Valley — the community that raised me and the community I am now honored to represent in Congress. Together, we will fight for a future we can all be proud of.
- I voted against censuring my colleague, @algreen.house.gov. Trump and the Republicans have made it clear to the American people, the media, and Congress - if you don't agree with them one hundred percent of the time, you are their enemy.
- I will continue to stand with the American people to voice my opposition to their hateful agenda and harmful policies.
- The extreme budget plan Republicans passed tonight shows us exactly where their values and priorities lie. In their rush to give out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, House Republicans failed to outline plans to protect Medicaid or lower the costs of living for working families.
- If budgets are a reflection of values, then House Republicans' values are clear: they would rather betray the middle class so billionaires can have more tax breaks. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting to protect Medicaid, veterans' benefits, SNAP programs, & healthcare for all Americans.
- I stood with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to send a message that while Republicans are handing out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, we are fighting to protect Medicaid from any cuts.

- Make sure you, your family, and your neighbors are aware of your rights in the event of an encounter with an ICE agent or another immigration enforcement agency.
- Thank you, SEIU California for hosting a discussion on immigration & preserving the American Dream for all. Our parents came to this country to give their children a shot at achieving the American Dream. I will fight alongside my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to keep this dream alive.
- Have President Trump and Elon Musk's recent firings impacted you or your neighbor? Share your story. Your story helps @housedemocrats.bsky.social fight for you. We are introducing bills, fighting in the courts, and standing with our communities. democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory
