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

This is a big win for Chicago and the rule of law, and the Supreme Court should also block Trump’s illegal and unwarranted deployments in other cities. The National Guard is not a political prop.

Because Republicans failed to extend ACA tax credits, roughly 160 million Americans with employer-sponsored insurance are going to see the biggest spike in their premiums in at least 15 years. Americans can’t afford life under the Republican majority.

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.

The American people know this is not an A+++++ economy. It’s a failure by Trump and the Republican Congress.

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.

A majority of the House has now signed a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits and save healthcare for millions of Americans. So why is Speaker Johnson dragging his feet? He should call the vote immediately and not send Congress home until we get this done.

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.

BREAKING: The Energy Dept's watchdog just agreed to open an investigation into Russ Vought and Secretary Wright’s cancelling of energy grants at my, @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov urging. Trump's targeting of blue states is unlawful and deserves rigorous oversight.

Congress has just 3 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA tax credits to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

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.

Congress has just 4 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Today I’m leading my colleagues in calling on the government of Vietnam to immediately release internationally respected environmental activist and attorney Dang Dinh Bach. Mr. Bach's detention on phony charges violates his basic human rights—and we demand his release and freedom.

Congress has just 5 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

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.

As families around the world gather for Hanukkah, my heart breaks for those killed and injured in this weekend’s antisemitic attack at Australia’s Bondi Beach. Nobody should live in fear while celebrating their faith, and we must condemn antisemitism wherever it appears.

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.

Congress has just 6 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

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.

Congress has just 7 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

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.

Congress has just 8 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Congress has just 9 legislative days left in this year, and Republicans still don’t have a plan to extend ACA subsidies to lower Americans’ skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Thanks to the 5,600+ Californians who hopped on my tele-town hall on Sunday, where I took questions on the biggest issues facing #CA18, from healthcare to affordability. Listen here: Lofgren.house.gov/townhall

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.

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.

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.

Republicans slashed food assistance by $187 billion in their Big Ugly Law. Taking food away from millions of children, veterans, and seniors is immoral, and that’s why I’m an original co-sponsor of @repjahanahayes.bsky.social’s bill to reverse these disastrous cuts to SNAP.

Trump is making Americans’ utility bills go up with his attacks on renewable energy. About 14 million Americans now have severe utility debt. Republicans in Congress need to act on this before more families have their power shut off. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

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.

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!

I dropped by the Food Bank for Monterey County this week to discuss the essential services they provide to our community. This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for their work, and I will always fight in Congress to protect food assistance programs.

One of my favorite things to make for Thanksgiving is my pecan pie. It’s an easy recipe to follow, and I’m proud to say it won a blue ribbon in my neighborhood bake-off. Hope you enjoy it!

I had a great meeting last week with @seiu-uhw.bsky.social dialysis caregivers to discuss the severe staffing crisis impacting patient care quality and the need for our government to ensure federal contractors a provide good, safe, family-sustaining jobs.

🚌 MORE GOOD NEWS: Monterey-Salinas Transit received over $1 million to support its zero-emission bus fleet. I’m glad to see more money from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law coming to California’s Central Coast. lofgren.house.gov/media/press-...

By slashing permanent supportive housing funds in the Continuum of Care Program with no transition plan, the Trump Administration pushes our most vulnerable neighbors into the street and throws communities into chaos. [1/2]

Consumer sentiment is near the lowest it’s ever been, right before the holiday season. Trump’s tariffs are making it so much tougher for families to plan for Thanksgiving and Christmas, yet his Republican enablers in Congress just won’t say no to him.

Today, I joined @liccardo.house.gov at an affordable housing site in San Jose to call out the Trump Administration's funding cuts to housing programs for vulnerable families and individuals. It's a cruel policy that will force people into homelessness, and the admin must reverse course.

🚌 GREAT NEWS: Santa Clara @vta.org will be receiving over $20 million to replace outdated buses with low-emission hybrids! Another example of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivering meaningful results for Californians. lofgren.house.gov/media/press-...
