Pleased to join @salinas.house.gov last week for a tour of the programs at Easterseals Oregon and a roundtable discussion with veterans who have benefited from its services. We will continue to fight for all those who have served this country.

The policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing Americans economically. Data analysis finds Trump’s tariffs will cost families an average of $2,400 in 2025.

Honored to join Rep Suzanne Bonamici in Oregon last week! Suzanne is a terrific Member of Congress who is fighting to cancel the cuts, lower costs and save healthcare. You can learn more about Suzanne and help her at this link: www.bonamiciforcongress.com

Honored to join Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in Washington State earlier this week. Marie is a fantastic Representative and a Frontline Member. Retaining her seat is critical for flipping the House. You can learn more about Marie and help her at this link: marieforcongress.com

Honored to join Rep Janelle Bynum in Oregon earlier this week! Rep Bynum is an amazing Member of Congress and a Frontline Member. Re-electing Rep Bynum will be critical in flipping the House. You can learn more about Rep Bynum and help her at this link: www.janellebynum.com

This action by Secretary Hegseth is strange and causes unnecessary costs and anxiety. We are in the 21st century. We do have technology that can connect people across the world. Hegseth could use Signal to communicate securely…as long as he doesn’t randomly invite a reporter.

Congratulations to Adelita Grijalva for winning Arizona’s 7th congressional district!! Adelita was a terrific Pima County Supervisor and will be a terrific Member of Congress!

This morning I called on ABC to not yield and to reinstate the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Radical FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s threats against ABC violate the First Amendment. WE WILL NOT YIELD.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr is a radical extremist abusing his authority. Every American can speak our minds freely because of the First Amendment.

The Trump Administration tried to put a 10-year moratorium ban on states regulating AI. It failed 99-1 in the Senate. Now, it's not whether we’re going to regulate AI. It's: do you want 17 states doing it? Or, do you want Congress to do it? The time to act is now.

To all the CEOs and executives in the tech industry who supported Trump because you think he supports American innovation, you got played. Trump doesn’t give a shit. He just imposed a massive tax on your company and workforce, and his action will stifle American innovation.

WE WILL NOT YIELD

PATEL: The estate of Epstein has a voluminous amount of information that they have not released LIEU: Wouldn't it be great if the FBI subpoenaed the estate? P: The estate is under no obligation to provide that information L: That's just false. You're the frickin' FBI! You can subpoena information

LIEU: Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? PATEL: The index has been released LIEU: America, this is a huge red flag -- the FBI director could not answer whether Trump is on Epstein's client list

I will be questioning FBI Director Kash Patel today at around 11:55 am.

Congratulations to Xp Lee for winning the special election for a seat previously held by former Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman. Speaker Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June.

Credit scores fall at the fastest pace since the Great Recession. Americans are being economically crushed by the policies of Trump and Congressional Republicans.

Political violence is never acceptable. My prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Kirk. May he rest in peace.

It's been 24 years since the horrific attacks on September 11, 2001. Today, we honor the lives lost, the survivors, and the first responders who acted bravely on a day marked by immense tragedy. May we never forget.

I DISSENT. We live in a country where 6 members of the highest court of the land decided it’s ok to profile immigrants based on the color of their skin or the language they speak. I DISSENT. #IDISSENT

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee all voted to require the release of the Epstein files. Republicans are voting to prevent their release. SHAME on the Republicans for covering up the Epstein files. Know their names. judiciary.house.gov/about/member...

Statement on Supreme Court’s ruling allowing racist ICE raids in California.

Joined Reps Pat Ryan and Chris Deluzio, former Rep Max Rose and Sen Jack Reed at VoteVets reception for veteran candidates. Honored to start the Dem Veterans Caucus with Reps Deluzio and Ryan. We will flip the House with all the amazing veteran candidates who are running.

Trump’s economy sucks.

Honored to be named a “Tech Titan” by @washingtonian.com. As a recovering computer science major, enthralled by the possibilities of technology. We must encourage innovation, while mitigating potential harms.

TRUMP’S ECONOMY SUCKS. And the American people know it. Worker confidence in finding new jobs hits record low.

At the end of the day…

I strongly commend President Trump for establishing Operation Warp Speed that resulted in COVID vaccines which have saved countless lives and helped bring us out of the pandemic. I agree with President Trump’s statement on vaccines that “Pure and simple, they work.” www.axios.com/2025/09/05/t...

Another horrible jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, far below expectations. Turns out that firing the head of BLS last month can’t actually change math or facts. The reality: TRUMP’S ECONOMY SUCKS

Last month over 85,000 people were laid off, the highest August since the pandemic. Trump and Republicans are really screwing up our economy.

Another weak report on jobs. Trump and Republicans are messing up our economy.

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up the economy. There are now more unemployed people than job openings.

Trump and House Republicans thought they could make the pedophile Epstein issue go away by forcing Congress to leave early for recess. They failed. We’re back. The Epstein issue will not go away until the Administration does the right thing. RELEASE THE FILES CANCEL THE CUTS

Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the hard work and advocacy of all those who’ve fought for workers’ rights and secured better pay, benefits, and working conditions for countless Americans. Will continue to stand with workers and all those who fight for progress.

Honored to host our annual multi-district Service Academy Day. If you live in the 36th congressional district and are interested in applying to our amazing service academies, please contact our office. lieu.house.gov/media-center...

Tarifflation

Honored to meet the hardworking employees and leaders at Varda Space Industries, a super cool company that makes drugs in space and provides reliable reentry capsules. The depth of talent, resources and infrastructure for space in Southern California is unmatched on earth.

Honored to speak with the incredible workers and leadership at a town hall at Apex Space! Apex delivers satellite buses at scale, reliably and quickly. Southern California has an amazing ecosystem for space with a depth of talent and resources unmatched anywhere else on earth.

Democrats flip another special election seat, this time in Iowa Senate 1, a Trump +11 district. Congratulations to Catelin Drey for running a great race and breaking a Republican supermajority. Voters in IA-01 understand Trump and Republicans are harming our country.

Honored to tour The Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, CA and meet with the amazing workers and leaders putting in the hard work to ensure America remains the leader in space and critical technologies. Aerospace is a federally funded research and development center.

CANCEL THE CUTS RELEASE THE FILES

I previously endorsed Navy officer @Acampanajjar for Congress and pleased to endorse him again for #CA48! Ammar will serve in Congress with honor and courage. Let’s back CA redistricting this Nov and get this done! Help Ammar by chipping in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/ammar...

Spoke at a packed meeting today with Indivisible South Bay LA and Torrance Democratic Club! We are fired up to pass California’s Proposition 50 in November to hold Trump accountable.

Thank you to the California State Legislature for standing up to the out of control Trump Administration. Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for his leadership. California voters will now have the opportunity to decide this November if they want to hold Trump accountable.

Cry harder dude. You got kicked out of the speakership. Whereas California has grown to be the 4th largest economy in the world under the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom. Oh, and Bed, Bath and Beyond was run so badly nationwide that the company declared bankruptcy in 2023.

CANCEL THE CUTS RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up our economy. U.S. bankruptcies surge.

DHS tried to intimidate Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic legislators today. They failed. It was a big, beautiful press conference. Nobody’s seen anything like it. California is fighting back against Texas’ attempt to steal elections with new maps of our own. Cheers!

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up the economy. Layoffs hit their highest level since the pandemic. And what is Trump doing about it? Nothing. Instead, Trump is cosplaying banana republic dictator by deploying the military to DC to distract from the Epstein files.
