I just voted against kicking the can down the road. #SipWithSam

When we asked the Warriors to help promote food banks during this difficult time for so many thousands of our neighbors, they responded immediately. [1/2]

For several weeks, I’ve been on the phone with a couple of dozen Republicans working toward an agreement. On Monday, we introduced a bill to keep health care affordable for tens of millions of Americans — and we identified a responsible way to pay for it. [1/2]

Today, we honor our veterans. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms embody the very best of America.

Corruption (kə-ˈrəp-shən) — noun: When Republican senators quietly slip language into a bill to give each of them a $500,000 windfall for the grievous “injury” of having the time and number of their January 6th phone calls revealed to investigators through a lawful subpoena.

Today, I introduced the bipartisan Fix It Act—a practical plan to cut excessive Medicare Advantage payouts to insurers and use those savings to lower premiums for millions of Americans so they can afford their health insurance. Let’s fix this, together.

House Democrats are fighting to save health care and protect SNAP. Because no one should ever have to worry about seeing a doctor or going hungry.

We joined Ayduando Latinos A Soñar to help distribute food to seniors. Even with the Trump Administration equivocating over its legal and moral obligation to provide SNAP, our community refuses to let anyone fall through the cracks. When we show up for each other, there’s strength in numbers.

Of all of the advice I ever received about working on Capitol Hill, the best came from Nancy Pelosi: “always remember your ‘why.’” www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

In times of trouble, there’s strength in numbers. Thank you, Second Harvest, for all the work you're doing to feed our community.

Big assist from the Golden State Warriors 🙌 Thank you, Trayce Jackson-Davis, for encouraging our community to step up to support struggling neighbors endangered by the Administration’s recent cuts in SNAP food assistance.

Holding food for children hostage—Trumpian cruelty meets new depths.

Wow! Big shout-out to Menlo Park’s Hillview Middle School for raising over $100,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. They put time, creativity, and most importantly, their hearts into this–thanks, Hawks! Read more about it here: inmenlo.com/2025/10/28/h...

Thank you to everyone who joined our town hall at Foothill College on Thursday. These gatherings play a vital role in ensuring we’re working together through these difficult times. Thank you for your thoughtful questions and for staying engaged—I’m proud to be part of this community.

No one in our community should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. If you or someone you know needs support, call any of these organizations, ready to lend a helping hand…and please support them in your giving!

If you're looking for a last-minute Halloween costume, we've got you covered.

Earlier this week, I met Luis. He works full-time, but rent and groceries outpace his paycheck, making it impossible to keep up. This pain is felt all over the country by 1 in 8 Americans who rely on SNAP to put food on the table—many of them working. [1/2]

If you rely on CalFresh (SNAP), please know you are not alone during this difficult time — our community is behind you. While I continue fighting in Congress to fund this lifeline, there are options to help keep you and your loved ones fed ↩️ [1/4]

Congratulations to Christine Wang from San José on being named a 2025 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge Finalist! 🍊 [1/2]

With the government shutdown, uncertainty surrounding CalFresh, and worries about health care costs, I’m hosting a town hall to discuss what comes next. Join me tomorrow, Thursday, October 30, at Foothill College’s Smithwick Theater in Los Altos Hills. RSVP here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ forms.gle/sjKHdindwZNA...

@Donald Trump, don’t cry for Argentina — cry for the 42 million Americans going hungry.

Mark your calendars! Santa Clara County’s 2025 Stand Down event – a free three-day event for veterans and their families – is around the corner. Visit their website to register and learn about available services, or sign up to volunteer! [1/2]

Join us for a town hall meeting this Thursday, October 30, at Foothill College’s Smithwick Theater in Los Altos. I look forward to answering your questions on the steps ahead through this government shutdown, protecting health care, lowering the cost of housing, and more. [1/2]

More than 168,000 of our neighbors need help because of the SNAP funding cutoff to programs like CalFresh. Big thanks to many caring volunteers from Catholic Charities and Second Harvest Food Bank for reminding us what a caring community looks like.

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is facing a critical need as food insecurity rises across the Bay Area. With potential cuts to SNAP benefits on the horizon, local food banks are stepping up to fill the gap — but they can’t do it alone. [1/2]

Even though the Capitol building is closed during the shutdown, I had the pleasure of meeting some very bright students in the eighth-grade class from San José’s Harker School on the Capitol’s front steps. [1/2]

This is un-American and un-Christian. As members of Congress, we must do better. www.ndtv.com/world-news/g...

After learning that the commissary at Moffett Field may close—with the next nearest location nearly 75 miles away—I’m urging the Defense Commissary Commission to keep the current site open or find a nearby alternative. [1/2]

America’s leadership in innovation owes to its ability to attract the best and brightest from around the world, but recent changes to the H-1B program will send entrepreneurs abroad to compete against us. [1/2]

Yesterday, I met with members of the Ames Federal Employees Union and the American Federation of Government Employees, who serve our veterans at the VA Hospital and lead history-changing innovation at NASA Ames. [1/2]

Our founders’ fears of soldiers policing Americans on U.S. soil—perhaps animated by the snowballs thrown at British soldiers in 1770 that incited the Boston Massacre—produced specific protections in Article I and the 3rd Amendment of our Constitution. [1/2]

Families feel the squeeze from every direction. By extending ACA tax credits, we can help 24,000 of our local neighbors keep their coverage and lower health costs.

Yesterday, I held a press conference in San Jose with @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, @liccardo.house.gov, healthcare professionals, and constituents to draw attention to Republicans’ healthcare crisis. They need to stop delaying and finally pass a budget that lowers Americans’ health costs.

Wishing our community and beyond a joyful Diwali filled with light, laughter, and love. May the year ahead shine as brightly as the diyas that light your home.

Last week, I spoke with constituents like Carol from Mountain View about the government shutdown. Carol shared her frustration over false claims from congressional Republicans that the Affordable Care Act tax credits fund health care for undocumented immigrants. [1/2]

Mike Johnson, help us help you– and the 78% of Americans who want to see their ACA tax credits extended.

Hey Mike, help me help you.

Faced with threats of loss of federal research funding, MIT President Sally Kornbluth stood up for academic freedom, asserting the Administration’s “compact” is “inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.” #CourageIsContagious [1/2]

Congratulations to San José’s own Ameya Desai, winner of this year’s @NPR Middle School Student Podcast Challenge! Her impactful podcast, Far From Home – Shikata Ga, tells the story of a Japanese American internment through the eyes of a retired teacher. [1/2]

Thank you to the over 1,000 local residents who joined last week’s telephone town hall. I appreciated the thoughtful questions and the strong will to protect our healthcare. Regardless of the duration of the shutdown, our Congressional offices remain open, and our team and I are ready to help you.

Today, we honor the strength and resilience of the ancestral caretakers of the land within our district and throughout our nation. We still have much to learn from our indigenous communities, such as the practice of prescribed fires to contain wildfire risk. [1/2]

This shutdown isn’t just happening in Washington—it’s hurting real people in our community who are missing paychecks and trying to hang on. On Friday, I sat down with federal employees from our district to listen and explore how we can help. 1/2
