House Republicans canceled votes tomorrow and are going on vacation without extending ACA tax credits, despite a majority of the House supporting this. What an outrage.
The holidays should be a time for joy, not stressing about your pocketbook. Unfortunately, Trump's tariffs are a holiday tax on American families.

This is a big win for Chicago and the rule of law, and the Supreme Court should also block Trump’s illegal and unwarranted deployments in other cities.

The National Guard is not a political prop.
Breaking news: The Supreme Court said it would not allow President Trump to deploy the National Guard in Chicago for now, a significant setback for his campaign to push troops into cities across the country.
Supreme Court hands Trump a major defeat on National Guard deployment
The Supreme Court holds that the president’s authority to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement purposes likely only applies in “exceptional” circumstances.

Because Republicans failed to extend ACA tax credits, roughly 160 million Americans with employer-sponsored insurance are going to see the biggest spike in their premiums in at least 15 years.

Americans can’t afford life under the Republican majority.

I enjoyed touring Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital in Hollister recently and meeting with their staff and board members. In Congress, I’m fighting to ensure hospitals in #CA18 receive the necessary funding to provide all of our communities with comprehensive healthcare services.

The American people know this is not an A+++++ economy. It’s a failure by Trump and the Republican Congress.

Today is the last day for this class of interns in my DC office. While their time was shortened by the shutdown, they provided a tremendous service to #CA18, and I’m thankful to Mateo, Madison, and Adrien for their hard work.

A majority of the House has now signed a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits and save healthcare for millions of Americans. So why is Speaker Johnson dragging his feet? He should call the vote immediately and not send Congress home until we get this done.

What I saw today was a composed Jack Smith explaining his logical, evidence-based decisions to prosecute Trump for his election subversion attempts. House Republicans’ smears fell flat.

Special Counsel Jack Smith offered to testify publicly about his investigations into Trump’s wrongdoing, but Republicans insist on keeping his testimony behind closed doors so they can cherry pick and distort his statements. I’m attending his deposition today to get the truth.

BREAKING: The Energy Dept's watchdog just agreed to open an investigation into Russ Vought and Secretary Wright’s cancelling of energy grants at my, @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov urging.

Trump's targeting of blue states is unlawful and deserves rigorous oversight.

Always a pleasure to visit Hollister! I had a great conversation with Mayor Roxanne Stephens and City Manager Jim Pia about projects to improve the community and how we can increase local and federal collaboration.

Today I’m leading my colleagues in calling on the government of Vietnam to immediately release internationally respected environmental activist and attorney Dang Dinh Bach.

Mr. Bach's detention on phony charges violates his basic human rights—and we demand his release and freedom.

Rob Reiner was a beloved Californian who always used his platform to make the world better. Donald Trump making light of him and his wife’s murders is a new low for this petty, hateful man. His party needs to condemn this.

As families around the world gather for Hanukkah, my heart breaks for those killed and injured in this weekend’s antisemitic attack at Australia’s Bondi Beach. Nobody should live in fear while celebrating their faith, and we must condemn antisemitism wherever it appears.

Trump’s tariffs have caused immense harm to farmers in districts like mine. His relief plan is a band-aid on a much larger wound.

It was a pleasure meeting with Directors Ballard and Varela from Santa Clara Valley Water District to discuss progress on projects critical to keeping #CA18 residents safe and protecting our communities’ drinking water.
