I’m heartbroken for the families of the three people killed at the Islamic Center of San Diego and the Muslim community. Hate has no place in our country. www.cnn.com/2026/05/18/u...

During Jewish American Heritage Month, we honor generations of Jewish Americans who strengthened our nation through public service, scientific discovery, military service, culture, business, and so much more.

Bay Area families increasingly rely on safe trails, bike lanes, and pedestrian routes to reach work, school, parks, and transit. I’m leading an effort–joined by my Bay Area colleagues—for stronger federal investments in active transportation infrastructure that connects our communities.

Our European allies share my conviction that the Paramount-Warner Brother merger–and any takeover of CNN by owners that include the Saudi crown prince– requires rigorous regulatory scrutiny. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/14/p...

Public opinion: 1 Trump: 0

Great to visit Half Moon Bay High School and meet with 250 students. We talked about bipartisanship, housing, AI, and most importantly, how our youngest generation of adults can have a bigger impact in our decisions.

During Police Week, we honor the officers who keep our communities safe. Special thanks to Santa Clara County Sheriff Bob Jonsen’s team and the network of local police departments who prepared our community for a successful and safe Super Bowl, and who now ramp up for an epic World Cup.

Along our Coastside, I heard directly from local farmers like John and Luca Giusti, Bob Marsh and BJ Burns about rising costs, labor shortages, water access, and other great challenges of keeping family farms afloat.

Thanks to Kayla and Major Joseph for sharing why the commissary matters for military families in the Bay Area.

To every mom who leads with love, patience, and strength: Happy Mother’s Day. Thank you, Mom – we love you!

On Wednesday, I visited Pacifica’s Esplanade Avenue and Beach Boulevard, and met with Mayor Christine Boles, Councilmember Sue Beckmeyer, and local leaders about the severe coastal erosion threatening homes, roads, and infrastructure.

Humanitarian activists—including from our own community—joined a flotilla to provide aid to Gaza residents. I demand answers to reports that Israeli officials assaulted and mistreated unarmed activists detained by Israeli ships in international waters.

This year's participants in the Congressional Art Competition were asked: “What does the United States of America’s 250th anniversary mean to you?”

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Teachers power our classrooms and shape our future. Last month, I met with the California School Boards Association to discuss how we can better support educators and give them the resources they need to help our kids succeed.

May the Fourth be with you.

As we celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month, I remember local trailblazer Secretary Norm Mineta, the first Asian-American mayor of a major U.S. city (San José) and the first Asian-American member of a Presidential cabinet.

Great discussion with David Fedor from the Hoover Institution at Stanford's Sustainable Data Center Symposium, bringing together experts across sectors to confront the challenge of our dual imperatives: accelerating deployment of energy and data center infrastructure while protecting our planet.

United Way Bay Area connects families in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties with resources to stay healthy, support their kids, and build financial stability.

Congress did not entrust the public airwaves to the FCC so that it could auction off America to Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. This will not stand. Brendan Carr & the FCC must deny Paramount’s attempt to sell our media to foreign authoritarian regimes. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Today, we remember the 51st anniversary of Black April.

Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat may have gone quiet, but thankfully @magaziner.house.gov keeps me entertained.

Republicans are trying to pass a budget with trillions of dollars of imaginary savings.

This flawed outcome exacerbates America’s racial divide, and underscores Congress’s responsibility to pass a national anti-gerrymandering law. 🧵 www.axios.com/2026/04/29/s...

We hosted office hours with members of our Vietnamese-American community Saturday at Rong Bien restaurant in Little Saigon. I appreciated the opportunity to hear one-on-one the concerns, views, and questions of the community members who joined us.

Grateful to the San Andreas Regional Center for bringing us together to support our neighbors and loved ones with special needs, and to celebrate their unique contributions.

ICYMI: We introduced a bill protecting whales in the Bay from vessel strikes. Proud of Andrew for leading this effort and introducing his first bill. He's already making a splash, so we’re spouting off about it…please refrain from groaning about “dad jokes” in your comments. 🐳

With new technology, like artificial intelligence, there's more we can do to collect large data sets that can help folks anticipate the pathways of these migrating whales.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. Thank you to the Secret Service for acting quickly and keeping everyone safe.

Today, on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we remember the 1.5 million people who lost their lives. Together we stand with our district’s Armenian American community 111 years later as we honor their memory.

We're literally seeing grandma's retirement seized to build sports stadiums.

If you're recruiting folks from the Stars Wars Cantina, you're gonna have a hard time running the country. www.youtube.com/shorts/kTc0-...

$1.5 billion was invested within 14 minutes of a Presidential announcement. The SEC said nothing.

Once or twice is a remarkable coincidence, five times in a single month is racketeering.

Congratulations Stanford's Men’s Gymnastics for winning the National Collegiate Championship. Our athletes delivered an exceptional performance and extended Stanford’s unprecedented 50-year NCAA championship streak, the longest in college athletics. Fear the Tree!! 🌲

The good news for Congressman Lawler's constituents is nothing enables them to forget the painful impact of Trump's tariffs, like $4 a gallon gas, and it's only going to go up.

Happy Earth Day! Let’s Save Willy!

Hollywood freed Willy. Now it’s on us to protect him. Nearly 1 in 5 gray whales that enter the Bay die. The Save Willy Act will protect these magnificent creatures and help mariners avoid costly, harrowing collisions. Together, we can Save Willy.

We can reduce the burden of fees borne by too many American families by enabling broader access to innovative payment systems that deliver cheaper, faster, more reliable service.

It’s been great to have so many constituents visit our nation’s Capitol; last week, it was my pleasure to welcome the Yuen family from Mountain View.

ICYMI: I introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Mike Lawler to stop the government-sponsored cash grabs that victimize too many older Americans. As we discuss here on CBS, states shouldn’t steal grandma’s hard-earned savings to build sports stadiums.

SJSU fuels Silicon Valley’s progress with more engineering and computer science grads than any other university.

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Great meeting with veterans, active servicemembers, and reservists at Moffett Field for a discussion about the cost-of-living challenges facing our veteran and military families.

Great to huddle with 7th graders from St. Raymond’s School in Menlo Park during their visit to Washington. Credit to their teachers—these middle schoolers showed up ready with sharp questions about AI’s impact on jobs and education.

While gas prices skyrocket and innocent people die in this illegal war, Trump administration officials–or their very close friends–personally profit by market trading on insider information about wartime decisions. The public deserves the truth—and accountability. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/17/h...
