We can all agree that dictator Nicolas Maduro deserves no sympathy, but recasting petro-motivated military aggression as a battle against narco-terrorism isn’t law enforcement, it’s subverting the law—namely, Article I of our Constitution. [1/2]

Haregewaine Mitiku Ayalew was a beloved member of our community who devoted her life to caring for our most vulnerable neighbors, and was an active volunteer of the Mekane Rama Saint Gabriel Church. I was honored to share her story on the House floor.

One person is killed an average of every 42 minutes in a drunk-driving crash, and these tragedies often rise around New Year’s. Let’s make tonight about celebration, not mourning; make a plan to get home safely from wherever you go. Drive sober—or get pulled over.

This year, more than 2,000 children—from newborns to teenagers—across over 980 families will receive gifts thanks to the Campbell Chamber of Commerce. There’s still time to make a difference in a child’s holiday season. Hear from Ken Johnson, Executive Director, on how you can help.

Our nation needs nearly 12 million homes to meet our housing needs—and @ushousefsc.bsky.social just took a real step toward closing that gap. Two of my bipartisan bills to cut red tape and accelerate homebuilding advanced out of committee in a landmark package. Next stop: the House Floor.

Will Congress extend the ACA tax credits? #SipWithSam!
December 17, 2025 at 10:06 PM
We have a majority in the House to extend the ACA tax credits. @SpeakerJohnson must immediately bring this bill up for a vote—22 million Americans are counting on it.

In the wake of the mass shooting at Brown University, Congress must do more—not less—to protect our communities from gun violence.
 
Today, I offered an amendment in the Financial Services Committee to stop Congress from standing in states’ way as they enact laws that make our communities safer.

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating across our community. In the wake of recent acts of antisemitism and in a moment of deep pain for Jewish communities around the world, we stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. [1/2]

I spoke at the Financial Services Committee hearing hours before the latest executive order on AI—an order that won’t survive judicial review and, more importantly, reflects the same two-dimensional focus on a moratorium that has paralyzed Congress and dominated Beltway debate. [1/2]

In the last day, the world has witnessed horrific violence—from a shooting at Brown University to an attack in Sydney. Gun violence and antisemitic hate must be confronted wherever they appear. Our hearts are with the victims and their families.

Thanks to coordinated legal action from states, local governments, and nonprofits — and from the pressure we applied in our congressional advocacy — more than 170,000 struggling American families nationwide can sleep easier knowing they won’t be pushed out of their apartments into the street.

As our Fall intern cohort wraps up their final weeks with Team Liccardo in D.C., I had the chance to sit down with them to discuss their amazing work and hear about their favorite experiences. Their hard work meant a lot to our whole team, and I can’t wait to cheer them on in whatever comes next!

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 22 million Americans have been able to access more affordable health care through the ACA Marketplace – time is running out to extend the tax credits that keep coverage in reach for tens of millions of Americans.

A “human swastika” on a school field is no “prank”; it’s harmful, hateful, premeditated, and offensive to our shared values. I’m grateful for the swift response from school leaders. To our Jewish community—and to all—antisemitism has no place here.

Americans deserve to know whether foreign investors could influence our nation’s news ecosystem or gain access to sensitive personal data of tens of millions of Americans.

A deal of this magnitude demands careful scrutiny of its national security implications.
🟡 NEW: As the battle over Warner Bros. Discovery grows, two Democratic lawmakers are warning that their party may try to block or unravel any acquisition by Paramount when it returns to power.

We need to extend the ACA tax credits, and there’s no shortage of ideas on how to get it done. I’m proud to stand with my bipartisan colleagues in putting forward a framework for real negotiations. But any solution must also pay for itself—just like my Fix It Act. [1/2]
