Does this Administration really think that Americans will want to pay hiked prices for clothes, electronics, and appliances? This is so dumb, I wish it was an April Fool's joke. But President Trump is intent on wrecking our economy with his tariffs. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

Trump’s Tariff Agenda Bets on Americans Giving Up Cheap Goods

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues that the American dream is about more than cheap televisions, but inflation-weary consumers might disagree.

Trans rights are human rights. I stand with the transgender community, especially our transgender servicemembers, and their right to live as who they are. #TransDayofVisibility

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 31(source)

The Trump admin's decision to let unaccompanied minors fend for themselves in immigration courts is inhumane. That's why I'm calling on Secretaries Kennedy and Burgum to immediately reinstate legal services for over 26,000 children, including the 4,700 in California. www.latimes.com/california/s...

As children are pulled into immigration court, many must fend for themselves

Unaccompanied minors face a new reality under the Trump administration as they lose avenues to legal representation and fears grow about expediting removals.

This is a blatant attempt to discriminate against women servicemembers. Sec. Hegseth should focus on OpSec and standards on the use of Signal to discuss a military operation. x.com/SecDef/statu...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on X: "For far too long, we have allowed standards to slip. We’ve had different standards for men/women serving in combat arms MOS’s and jobs…. That’s not acceptable, and it changes right now! https://t.co/Zn9OyBew6G" / X

Had a blast enjoying the West Covina Spring Festival yesterday. Thank you to the city staff for putting on another spectacular event, and shout out to the Hollencrest Middle School band for a wonderful performance.

In Congress, I promise to always put the needs of our service members and veterans first in Washington DC.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 29(source)

This morning, I was honored to join the VFW Post 12034's open house. As a Navy Veteran and son of a Vietnam veteran, I was thankful to celebrate Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. May their courage, honor, and sacrifice to our country always be remembered.

Secretary Hegseth crusaded against DEI so he could replace it with nepotism. www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202...

Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon

Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume includes founding his own podcast production company and working on social media and podcasts.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 28(source)

The signal chat put servicemembers' lives at risk and has jeopardized future intelligence gathering efforts. The fact that Sec. Hegseth can't wrap his head around that shows how unfit he is to lead the DoD. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots

Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 28(source)

Shadow President Musk is so singularly focused on cracking down on non-existent fraud, he's actively harming Americans who rely on Social Security. He's creating a problem where there was none and it's at the expense of our seniors. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Long waits, waves of calls, website crashes: Social Security is breaking down

A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 28(source)

There are more than a million union members in our federal government. I stand with my labor brothers and sisters against this blatant attack on workers and all working people. www.npr.org/2025/03/28/n...

Trump signs order ending union bargaining rights for wide swaths of federal employees

President Trump's new executive order ends collective bargaining for wide swaths of federal employees, as part of his broader campaign to reshape the government's workforce. Unions are vowing to sue.

This is on brand for Shadow President Elon as someone who only cares about enriching himself. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

These departments investigating Elon Musk have been cut by DOGE and the Trump administration

Elon Musk has benefited from his close alliance with Donald Trump, as the president has ousted federal officials who had overseen departments investigating the billionaire's multiple companies.

And if that wasn't enough, they left their phone numbers and passwords available online, susceptible to hackers and foreign adversaries. This would be deeply embarrassing, if wasn't already a national security risk. www.spiegel.de/internationa...

Yet another example of Secretary Hegseth's and National Security Advisor Waltz's lack of judgement and disregard for national security. Every day they refuse to take accountability and resign is a disgrace. www.wired.com/story/michae...

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

Mike Waltz Left His Venmo Friends List Public

A WIRED review shows national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

HASC Dems are calling on Chairman Rogers to convene a hearing w/Sec Hegseth to testify about reports in The Atlantic that senior Trump officials conferred about a highly sensitive NatSec matter, including "precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing," on an open-source app.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 26(source)

People shouldn't be able to skirt gun safety laws when purchasing ghost gun kits. Glad the Supreme Court upheld this important Biden Administration measure that helps keep our communities safe. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Supreme Court upholds Biden regulations on 'ghost gun' kits

The decision means that the federal government can regulate the easily obtainable gun parts in the same way as firearms purchased from specialist stores.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 26(source)

Where is the integrity? They lied. This is not type of leadership we need at the top of the government. Secretary Hegseth and Director Waltz need to resign.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govMar 26(source)

I'm curious how Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and Director Waltz will attempt to spin this instead of taking accountability and answer for their OpSec breach. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal

The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.
