The holidays should be a time for joy, not stressing about your pocketbook. Unfortunately, Trump's tariffs are a holiday tax on American families.

I enjoyed touring Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital in Hollister recently and meeting with their staff and board members. In Congress, I’m fighting to ensure hospitals in #CA18 receive the necessary funding to provide all of our communities with comprehensive healthcare services.

House Republicans canceled votes tomorrow and are going on vacation without extending ACA tax credits, despite a majority of the House supporting this. What an outrage.

Today is the last day for this class of interns in my DC office. While their time was shortened by the shutdown, they provided a tremendous service to #CA18, and I’m thankful to Mateo, Madison, and Adrien for their hard work.

What I saw today was a composed Jack Smith explaining his logical, evidence-based decisions to prosecute Trump for his election subversion attempts. House Republicans’ smears fell flat.

Special Counsel Jack Smith offered to testify publicly about his investigations into Trump’s wrongdoing, but Republicans insist on keeping his testimony behind closed doors so they can cherry pick and distort his statements. I’m attending his deposition today to get the truth.

Always a pleasure to visit Hollister! I had a great conversation with Mayor Roxanne Stephens and City Manager Jim Pia about projects to improve the community and how we can increase local and federal collaboration.

Rob Reiner was a beloved Californian who always used his platform to make the world better. Donald Trump making light of him and his wife’s murders is a new low for this petty, hateful man. His party needs to condemn this.

I had a great meeting with Inertia Enterprises this week to discuss advancing American leadership in fusion energy and how Congress can support innovation in this field.

As a champion for privacy and the 4th Amendment throughout my time in Congress, I am working to re-introduce bipartisan legislation that will end unwarranted surveillance of Americans’ personal data while still preserving our national security.

Trump’s tariffs have caused immense harm to farmers in districts like mine. His relief plan is a band-aid on a much larger wound.

Trump thinks affordability is a hoax and that Americans crushed by his tariffs are being “dramatic”. When’s the last time this guy went to a grocery store???

It was a pleasure meeting with Directors Ballard and Varela from Santa Clara Valley Water District to discuss progress on projects critical to keeping #CA18 residents safe and protecting our communities’ drinking water.

I had a wonderful meeting with the San Jose African American Community Service Agency last week to discuss all the services they provide and tour their Family Resource Center. Their educational, social, and recreational programs are an important part of fostering a strong and inclusive San Jose.

Trump’s trade war is killing small businesses. His Republican allies in Congress know this and aren’t stopping him.

TOMORROW: Join me for a tele-town hall where I’ll answer questions about the biggest issues facing #CA18. Talk to you then!

I had a great time meeting with students today at The Foundation for Hispanic Education in East San Jose. In Congress, I’m focused on ensuring every student gets the resources they need to reach their full potential.

Today marks 70 years since the Montgomery Bus Boycotts began, a critical moment for the Civil Rights Movement. We must continue the work of Rosa Parks and Dr. King by speaking out against injustice and fighting for a nation that’s free and fair for all.

It’s simply not possible for this Administration to talk credibly about competing with China while undermining NASA and our research enterprise.
December 5, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Trump said he would revive manufacturing in America - he’s done the exact opposite with his tariffs, and House Republicans are blindly following along. We must reverse course.
December 4, 2025 at 3:00 PM
There are so many issues facing our country, from rising healthcare costs to brutal immigration raids. I want to hear from constituents about their concerns and answer questions about how I’m fighting for #CA18 in Congress.

Join me on Dec 7 @ 2pm for a tele-town hall:

FBI Director Kash Patel is using taxpayer funds to fly around on a $62 million jet to his girlfriend’s concerts…all while Americans struggle to pay for healthcare, rent, and groceries.

It was a pleasure to visit Wonder Wood Ranch in Monterey County to learn about the equine therapy and nurturing environment they provide to local youth. I’m always proud to support funding for impactful services such as this in our community.

Thanksgiving is more expensive this year due to Trump’s economic policies. 7 in 10 Americans say their grocery prices have risen in the last year. Trump can say costs are going down all he wants, but anybody who actually buys their own food knows it’s a lie.
November 27, 2025 at 4:37 PM
I’m thankful for my family, my community, and the brave men and women who protect our country every day. From the bottom of my heart, happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!
