This bill would add more than $3 trillion to the national debt while giving tax breaks to billionaires. They should have all voted against it. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

GOP fiscal hawks sink key vote on Trump ‘big, beautiful bill’

Fiscal hawks on the House Budget Committee on Friday sunk a key vote on advancing the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that encompasses President Trump’s legislative agenda, marking a stunning setback …

During my time as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, I implemented the infrastructure designed to reform the military's handling of sexual assault. Now, I’m making sure they continue these critical programs to keep our servicemembers safe. thenationaldesk.com/news/spotlig...

Lawmakers press for continued funds, staff to combat military sexual assault

In Washington, D.C., there are new promises from the Pentagon, as old concerns continue to linger when it comes to sexual assault among our troops.

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV! I’m glad that he is an American, but even happier that he will continue Pope Francis’ message of compassion.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMay 8(source)

Instead of working to lower costs, House Republicans spent their morning passing a nonsense bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico. This is a waste of our time and it’s a disgrace to the people who elected us to serve them in this body.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMay 6(source)

This does nothing to make our country safer. Our transgender servicemembers deserve our respect, gratitude, and support. I will continue to fight for the transgender community, and their right to live freely without fear of harm or persecution.

#BREAKING: The Supreme Court allowed President Trump’s administration to begin enforcing a ban on transgender troops serving openly in the military, undermining two lower court decisions and handing a victory to an administration that has broadly sought to restrict transgender rights.

How does this look to our adversaries? Our Secretary of Defense is not qualified for his job and slashing decades of military leadership experience. He really doesn’t know what the hell he is doing. I look forward to seeing him testify in front of Congress, if he makes it that far.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to cut the number of four-star generals and admirals by at least 20%.

We must continue to protect the sovereignty of the tribal nations who have treaties with United States of America to ensure that their people are taken care of and that we live up to the agreement that we made with these nations.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMay 4(source)

This weekend I was at an event with our Native American Tribes. This weekend was also the Kentucky Derby. I find it fitting that the number one issue that I talked to the tribes about was their sovereignty. That was also the name of the horse that won the Kentucky Derby.

Today, I gave a speech on the House floor celebrating the compassionate legacy of Pope Francis and how Republicans could learn from his example. Due to a camera glitch, that video footage isn’t available, but this message was too important not to share.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMay 1(source)

I guess this is how it works in the Trump Administration. You screw up and you get promoted. I hope Senate Republicans don’t give him a pass. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump shakes up national security team: Waltz tapped for UN post

Mike Waltz, President Trump's national security advisor, is leaving the White House weeks after he accidentally added a journalist to a Signal chat.

The SBA's motto should be "Make SBA Return Phone Calls Again.” Trump and Sec. Loeffler's relentless focus on cutting staff is hurting small businesses and making it harder for them to get assistance. Trump's tariffs are causing enough chaos, we should be investing in our small business owners.

If you live in CA-31 and need assistance with a federal agency, please contact my office so we can help you.

I have always said that one of the most important things a member of Congress can do is help their constituents. I am proud to report that since taking office in January, my district team has helped return over a quarter of a million dollars to constituents through our casework services.

Elon Musk has already cut $1B in funding to feed seniors, children, and women. House Republicans' budget would compound that cruelty by making cuts to SNAP, which helps put food on the table for over 42 million Americans. All to pay for handouts to billionaires. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

After Trump Aid Cuts, Food Banks Scrounge and Scrimp

In one of the country’s poorest areas, the quantity and quality of government deliveries have dropped, forcing one charity to make do with thin soup and dried cranberries.

We cannot allow this to happen. Thank you to those who joined us to defend veterans' healthcare this morning.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 27(source)

The work doesn't stop just because it's Sunday. Thank you Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @booker.senate.gov for putting on our impromptu sit-in. Republicans are slashing veterans' benefits like the PACT Act on the books this week.
