157 years ago today, the 14th Amendment was ratified—enshrining the promise of citizenship for all born on U.S. soil, a promise upheld by the Supreme Court since 1898. States now prepare to challenge Trump's unconstitutional executive order.

When I first met him 17 years ago, he was leading employees in renovating an East San Jose elementary school. Today, he’s still at the helm and now leading the world’s most valuable company. Congrats to Jensen and the entire Nvidia team. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’m no tech stock fanboy—but Nvidia’s breathtaking rise reflects the best of Silicon Valley. Jensen Huang, an immigrant who worked graveyard shifts as a busboy and attended public school, launched Nvidia from a Denny’s in East San Jose.

Representative Sam Liccardo Introduces New Bill to Eliminate Proposed Tax Burdens on Working Families and Defund Cartels

Today, Representative Sam Liccardo (CA-16) introduced H.R. 4274, the Remittance Expense Minimization and Integrity for Transfers (REMIT) Act, to counter Congressional Republicans’ newly imposed 1% tax on remittances included in the “One Bloated Borrowing Budget.”

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 8(source)

After Republicans jammed through the Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, I’m fighting to fix what they broke — piece by broken piece. Today, I introduced the REMIT Act to stop one of its most misguided provisions: a 1% remittance tax that punishes hardworking families and fuels illicit financial networks.

ICYMI: I was a “hell no” on the One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, and I joined KRON4 News to discuss why this bill is anything but—as Speaker Johnson put it, “common sense."

Thank you, San Jose and Menlo Park, for hosting two great community events to bring us together this weekend. It was great to see our neighbors and a familiar face (@schiff.senate.gov)!

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 5(source)

After this past week in Washington, we had plenty to talk about during office hours in San Jose. I’m grateful to the neighbors who showed up for thoughtful conversations. In these challenging times, your engagement is what keeps our democracy strong.

We’re celebrating the red, white, and BEAN at Palo Alto’s 4th of July Chili Cook-Off and Summer Festival at the Mitchell Park Bowl. Thanks to all the chili competitors—it was an honor to announce the winners at this saucy celebration.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 4(source)

We kicked off the Fourth of July by raising the stars and stripes high in Los Gatos. As we celebrate today, let’s reflect on what our flag represents—and honor all those who’ve fought to keep it flying and our freedoms alive.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 4(source)

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 2(source)
