REMINDER: Townhall Today @6PM PT! Join us for a deep dive on Prop 50, the aftermath + implications of Rep. Pelosi’s retirement, and where things actually stand with the government shutdown right now. Sign up here: tinyurl.com/5n92vs6f

Trump calling Mayor-elect Mamdani a communist is blatantly false. Trump ordering the federal government to take ownership stakes in companies like Intel is the closest thing to textbook communism we’ve seen in modern U.S. politics. Trump is choosing communism as a way to centralize his power.

Workers keep Americans moving by building & operating our nation's highways, railroads, & ports. We're fighting for pro-worker transportation policies in Congress to invest in our infrastructure, keep America safe, and strengthen domestic manufacturing.

Patti and I will deeply miss working with Nancy Pelosi.    For over 40 years, she’s been our dear friend and guiding light.    We will miss her. San Francisco will miss her. And everyone who believes in a vibrant, thriving democracy will miss her extraordinary leadership.

Thank you @repgaramendi.bsky.social and @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for cosponsoring HR.1564! We urge Members of Congress to #KeepKidsSafe by cosponsoring Ethan’s Law. Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 #KeepKidsSafe #SafeStorageSavesLives #EndGunViolence

Trump is a bully. Bullying everyone from Speaker Johnson to California and New York. It's clear: The playground bully has become the dictator.

Behind closed doors, Republicans are secretly cutting your food and health care benefits. Congress must stop the cuts and open the government. Call your member of Congress today: 202-224-3121

Trump fancies himself a dealmaker yet, gives $40 billion to Argentina and the government is still shutdown. @meiselasb.bsky.social nails it: "It's the arsonist blaming the firefighter."

One paragraph. That’s all it would take for Republicans to end the shutdown, restore SNAP, and pay our troops and federal workers. But they’d rather keep the government closed than extend ACA subsidies that lower health care costs for millions. www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

There’s enough money in reserves for SNAP assistance to continue in November. Trump is just punishing Democrats for trying to make your healthcare cheaper. 100,000 who rely on SNAP in our district shouldn’t go hungry just because Trump and Speaker Johnson won’t negotiate.

We need Adelita Grijalva’s voice in Congress today. Speaker Johnson, stop running scared from the Epstein files and swear her in now!

The Trump Administration is the most corrupt government in history! From private jet gifts from the Qataris to $2 billion “crypto-coin” investments in the Trump family, the corruption is off the charts. Speaker Johnson, it’s time to hold Trump accountable.

Speaker Johnson end the shutdown. We need to do our jobs including voting on the Epstein files and swearing in Rep. Elect Grijalva. Enough is enough.

SNAP funding is set to run out 5 days—putting 42 million children and families at risk of hunger. But Trump already made the largest cut to SNAP in history with his Big Ugly Bill. That’s why I joined @repjahanahayes.bsky.socialand @housedemocrats.bsky.social to demand USDA use its reserve funds.

I was so shocked by Trump’s disgusting "No Kings" AI video that I swore on live TV, and they accidentally cut me off. I’m a cattle rancher—I know BS when I see it. President Trump is a disgrace and shows no respect for the people. Thanks to @kron4-news.bsky.social for having me back on.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. John Garamendi ERUPTS on Speaker Mike Johnson - calling him a “spineless Trump puppet.” “Trump is doing whatever the hell he wants - defying the law, defying Congress…and ‘spineless’ Johnson obeys. I’ve had it.” JOHNSON IS A DISGRACE! #TrumpHatesOurHealthCare

Healthcare costs will be a disaster next year if Republicans don’t extend the ACA tax credits. Right now, people’s premiums in California are already skyrocketing up 2x, 3x, even 4x higher. Republicans can stop this madness today. Stop the games. Let’s negotiate.

Working families are paying triple for health care, and Kristi Noem is wasting $170 million on two private planes. The Coast Guard is still protecting us without pay. She should do her job and fly commercial like the rest of us. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

One day after No Kings Day, Trump turns the White House into a gold-plated palace. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump and Vought- the architect of Project 2025- are once again stealing money from hardworking Californians for the sole purpose of inflicting pain on their political rivals. Freezing $11 billion for flood control projects is not only idiotic, it's unsafe. Do the right thing, release the funds.

Great turnout today between 544-652 protestors today! We had 100-200 more than June 14, our 10/18 #NoKingsHercules in CA was a joyous event! thank you people power for truly loving America!! @indivisible.org @repgaramendi.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

The reality is that people's health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. Today, a constituent of mine checked their health insurance bill. It shot up to $2,210.97 per month. Trump can stop this.

This is a lie. The Speaker can swear her in today just like he did with Reps. Fine, Patronis and Walkinshaw when Congress was out of session. Speaker Johnson stop running from the Epstein files, do your job, and swear her in.

Tell that to the 748,589 people in Contra Costa and Solano Counties who I represent in Congress.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Rep.-Elect Grijalva despite having the power to do so, all because she would be the final signature needed to release the Epstein files. I stand with Grijalva. I stand with the people of Arizona's 7th. And I stand with the will of the people. Swear her in!

These are dangerous times, especially if you’re a person of color, struggling to access health insurance, or living in a big city. So who’s “safe” from Trump's administration? The truth is: no one is fully safe.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are in DC and ready to open the government. Where are the Republican leaders? On a 4 week vacation.

The government is shut down so billionaires can get another tax cut, while the rest of us watch our health care costs double. The rich have rigged the system for too long. It’s time they finally pay their fair share.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are back at the Capitol this week to reopen the government and lower healthcare costs. Republicans need to return, stop taking away Americans’ healthcare, and work with us on a bipartisan solution.

Seniors in Contra Costa and Solano Counties (CA-08) could see premiums rise 400% meaning a 60-year-old couple making $85K per year would pay $2,635 per month. This is what we're fighting against, and it's more reason for Speaker Johnson to come to the table now! www.kff.org/quick-take/w...

Revitalizing Mare Island and the entire national maritime industry is a win-win for our community. Let's bring the SHIPS Act to port! @maxdarrow.bsky.social, @kpixtv.bsky.social

Republicans shut down the government instead of working with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to lower health care costs. Now they’re on vacation while scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act — taking us back to a time when insurance companies could deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

The Pentagon press corps is right to reject Pete Hegseth's undemocratic loyalty pledge. Hegseth and Trump are silencing the press because they fear accountability. A free press is essential to democracy — this is a dangerous precedent.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are back at the Capitol this week to reopen the government and lower health care costs. Republicans need to return, stop taking away Americans’ health care, and work with us on a bipartisan solution.

Flights are delayed, air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid, and health insurance costs are doubling — all while billionaires get another tax cut. Trump’s shutdown hursts working families and only helps billionaires.

I'm appalled by the wannabe king once again violating the law and sending the military into another American city. This is not about public safety — it's about power As Americans, we must all stand up and make clear that Trump is incorrect; our cities are not training grounds for the military.

Healthcare costs are set to double, while Trump gives massive handouts to his billionaire buddies. End the shutdown Trump. Let's deliver lower costs for the American people.

Ranking Members on the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Intel, Judiciary, and Homeland Security Committees are demanding Trump provide the list of designated terrorist organizations he's unilaterally declared & evidence for his justifications used in U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean.

Donald Trump promised safer streets. Instead, he’s sending troops into our cities to intimidate Americans — stirring even more unrest and fear. His decision to deploy troops into U.S. cities is illegal and un-American. This isn’t law and order — it’s the start of a police state.

The law is clear: Federal employees are guaranteed back pay at the end of any shutdown by law, without question or exception. Perhaps the least qualified cabinet in history might be the reason the Trump administration seems fuzzy on the law.

The only reason Speaker Mike Johnson hasn’t sworn in Adelita Grijalva is to block the release of the Epstein files and keep the government shut down. This is unacceptable. Representative-elect Grijalva must be sworn in now.

After cutting food assistance in his Big Ugly Bill, Trump’s shutdown is set to take even more food out of families’ mouths. Millions are going hungry so Trump can hand out more tax breaks to billionaires. It’s not just unfair—it’s un-American.

Questions about the shutdown or the Big Ugly Bill? I'll answer all your questions and more tonight at 6:30 PM. See you there! Make sure to register here for the Zoom link: tinyurl.com/4vzsnrbr

@housedemocrats.bsky.social aren't backing down from a fight. With the stakes this high, we will ensure the American people don't face sky-high health care costs. We will not capitulate. We will not give in. We will ensure affordable health care premiums for all American citizens.

The Trump shutdown is bad for our country. Trump is gutting everything from environmental protections to basic civil liberty protections to vital funding for hospitals. But @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to ensure our government stays open and Americans aren't left behind.

Today is the first day of the government shutdown. From VA customer services ending, national parks closed, and sky-high premiums, government shutdowns will impact all aspects of life. Learn more how the government shutdown could impact you: garamendi.house.gov/ShutdownQues...

Right before the shutdown, Trump pledged to send the military into Portland. And yet, the law is clear: the military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement.
