I voted no on Republicans’ bill that would block most people from registering to vote with their driver’s license. 140 million people lack a passport, and 69 million married women lack birth certificates with their legal name. The Senate must reject this voter suppression bill.

I had great meetings this week with student and faculty leaders @calcommcolleges.bsky.social to discuss my support for reauthorizing the Higher Education Act and other issues impacting California’s community colleges.

I’ve voted twice this year against funding Trump’s masked, poorly trained ICE agents. I’m prepared to vote no again until we rein in this lawless army Trump and Kristi Noem unleashed on America.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I’m proudly co-sponsoring @repyassansari.bsky.social’s three bills to rein in Trump’s lawless ICE agents. The Republican’s Big Ugly Bill slashed healthcare while giving $75 billion to ICE (more than we even fund our Marine Corps). Congress needs to fix this immediately.

The bravery of the Epstein survivors should be applauded, not ignored by our nation’s leaders.

The Department of Justice and the FBI are not fully complying with the release of the Epstein files as mandated by law. When I asked Pam Bondi about the lack of transparency, AG Bondi responded with theatrics and regurgitated White House talking points.

I just reviewed some of the unredacted Epstein files at the Department of Justice. Trump and many powerful people are often mentioned, but there’s also MILLIONS of files the DOJ continues to withhold in violation of the law. This coverup needs to end.

The reductions being made at the Department of Veterans Affairs are an outrageous disservice to our nation’s heroes. I just met with Local 2110 of AFGE to discuss the need for Congress to protect federal workers and veterans healthcare.

NASA is designing and testing the next generation of aircraft right here in Santa Clara County. It was a pleasure to visit the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center with NASA Administrator. The work they’re doing is critical to America’s leadership in aeronautics.

Trump’s policies are driving up costs in #CA18 and across the country. From soaring healthcare premiums to high grocery bills, Americans just can’t afford Republicans’ disastrous agenda.

Thank you to Vietnamese American Service Center and @sccgov.bsky.social for inviting me to their Lunar New Year celebration in San Jose. Wishing everyone security, good health, and prosperity in this new year!🧧🎊

Best of luck to San Jose’s own Anthony Ponomarenko as he competes in figure skating at the #WinterOlympics! 🇺🇸⛸️

Trump is now suing the DOJ for $230 million and the IRS for $10 BILLION. Americans can’t even afford groceries or healthcare right now, but he’s still trying to steal money from the taxpayers. It’s sickeningly greedy and corrupt.

During Black History Month, we recognize the many powerful stories and voices of Black Americans that have shaped our country. This month and every month, let us honor these contributions and ensure this history is never forgotten or erased.

🚀 GREAT NEWS: Along with Rep. Brian Babin, I’m proud to have led the bipartisan NASA Reauthorization Act through the House Science Committee this week. Together, we can continue strengthening America’s leadership in space.

Tens of thousands of folks will be visiting San Jose this weekend for #SuperBowlLX. Whether you’re a Seahawks fan, a Patriots fan, or a Bad Bunny fan, I hope you stay safe and take in all that our beautiful San Jose/Bay Area has to offer. 🏈

You know how many hearings Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have had this Congress about free speech in Europe? Three. How many hearings have they held to question DHS officials about their agents brutalizing Americans? Zero.

Wealth inequality is now the worst it’s been in 60 YEARS. Republicans gave huge tax cuts to the rich in their Big Ugly Bill, but the rest of America is getting crushed by Trump’s tariffs and policies. When are they going to stand up for regular Americans? www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

Trump is raiding election offices and saying Republicans should take power from the states to nationalize elections. He knows that Americans disapprove of his party’s disastrous agenda, and he wants to control elections so that they can win even if they lose.

Today, I once again voted no on giving more money to Trump’s out-of-control ICE agents. I will not support funding as long as they continue lawlessly brutalizing our communities.

Republicans had a markup on balancing the budget today. They should’ve thought of that BEFORE slashing taxes for the rich and sending more money to ICE than our Marine Corps.

Bonsai Robotics is building innovative products in Watsonville to help support our agricultural sector. Thanks to Larry Jacobs for giving me a tour of his farm to see these tools at work! #CA18

I’m proud to see San Jose selected as one of the host cities for the LA28 Olympic soccer matches and for fans around the world to experience our vibrant city! ⚽️🥇

Donald Trump has repeatedly said that Americans won’t pay for his tariffs, but guess what? 96% of the tariff costs last year were absorbed by American consumers and businesses. Just another broken promise. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/eco...

Great to visit Santa Cruz METRO and ride one of their buses to the Watsonville Transit Center. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I voted for provided $1.1 million for their vehicle replacement project, and I’m looking forward to further opportunities to improve transit in #CA18.

I was so proud to be in Salinas today for the grand opening of the new and improved Hebbron Family Center! Thanks to state funding as well as money from the American Rescue Plan I supported, this will now be a safe and inclusive space for all Salinas residents to gather. #CA18

⏰ URGENT: January 31st is the last day of Covered California’s open enrollment period. Visit CoveredCA.com to look through health insurance plans now.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have unleashed an army upon America that’s brutalizing lawful citizens. Congress shouldn’t authorize another dime for ICE until complete reform and protection from terrorizing our communities is secured.

I served on the J6 Committee where we investigated Trump’s Big Lie and its consequences. He’s still pushing these lies about winning Georgia, and he’s weaponizing the FBI to support his delusion. His presidency isn’t about helping Americans, it’s about boosting his fragile ego.

Americans are being crushed by tariffs and the Republican healthcare crisis, but Trump keeps getting richer. In one year, his for-profit presidency made his family $1.4 BILLION through foreign deals, crypto sales, and even a Qatari jet he plans to keep. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Spoken like someone who doesn’t do his own grocery shopping.

It was nice to visit Oklo HQ here in Santa Clara County to hear about advanced nuclear energy. As the lead Democrat on the House Science Committee, I’m committed to supporting innovation that will bolster America’s clean energy leadership.

The threat that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem poses to Americans’ constitutional rights has left Congress with no other option. Today, I’m supporting articles of impeachment against her.

U.S. consumer confidence just dropped to the lowest it’s been since 2014, even worse than during the COVID pandemic. Trump’s chaotic tariff policies are a disaster for our economy.

I voted against giving more money for Trump’s ICE to terrorize communities. The Senate has an opportunity this week to stand up for Americans’ constitutional rights and rein in this out-of-control agency by voting no on the DHS spending bill.

Yet another person in Minneapolis has been executed in the street by federal immigration agents the Trump administration has unleashed on America. Stop this madness and get these masked, poorly trained agents off the streets before they kill again.

I'm proud to represent a large Sikh community in San Jose, and I’ve just signed onto Rep. Gottheimer’s Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act. No community should ever be afraid to worship in America, and this bill will elevate the DOJ’s focus on anti-Sikh hate. lofgren.house.gov/media/press-...

I’ll be joining @msnowreports.bsky.social around 10:25am PT to talk to Chris Jansing about Jack Smith’s testimony yesterday and the failed attempts to smear his investigations.

Republicans like to say Jack Smith’s investigation was a partisan witch hunt, but much of his case was built around testimony from Trump’s closest allies:

I am heading to the House floor shortly to vote FOR removing American forces from Venezuela that haven’t been authorized by Congress. We can’t let Donald Trump get our country entangled in yet another conflict over oil.

LOFGREN: The fact that Trump, according to Senator Graham, would be that 'Martians stole the election' -- what does that tell you about Trump's state of mind? JACK SMITH: Trump was not looking for honest answers about if there was fraud in the election. He was looking for ways to stay in power

Thanks to Carl Sedoryk for dropping by the office to discuss the latest developments from Monterey-Salinas Transit! In Congress, I’m committed to delivering safe, fast, and affordable transportation for #CA18 residents. 🚌

Citizens United was a mistake 16 years ago, and it’s a mistake that still needs to be corrected. We need Republicans in Congress to stop catering to the billionaire class and get dark money out of our elections.

In 2025, the average American family paid $310 more for groceries compared to 2024. Trump’s tone-deaf message to Americans: stop whining.

In every state across the country, families are paying more due to Trump’s tariffs and inflationary policies. It’s been a full year. House Republicans need to put a stop to Trump’s failed economic experiment.

This is insanity. ICE officers are being incentivized to make more arrests, even if the folks they’re detaining are here legally and are later released without any charges. I’m not going to vote for a spending bill that continues this system and puts Americans in danger.

Today marks 1 year since Donald Trump took office. Here’s the economy that he gave himself an A+++++ grade for: ❌ 68,000 manufacturing jobs lost ❌ The worst year for job gains since 2003, outside of a recession ❌ Consumer sentiment near an all-time low

Today and every day, we honor the legacy of Dr. King, one of this nation’s greatest visionaries. He understood the promise of America and made it his mission that she live up to that promise. We must all carry his dream forward and work to secure liberty and justice for all.

I visited the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland 🚀 From speaking with NASA scientists and leaders to seeing firsthand the progress on the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, I'm excited to continue learning about all of the discoveries taking place at Goddard.
