We’re about to find out if just four House Republicans have the courage to stop the Big Bloated Borrowing Bill. It’s time for grown-up governance—and my new Medium post lays out a better path to budgeting for our children’s future. Read more: buff.ly/stXMhVo.

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

We—Republicans and Democrats—could have negotiated a better bill than this. Last night at Rules, House Democrats offered 505 amendments to fix this Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, but not a single one was accepted.

We’re on the House Steps, unified against the One Big Bloated Borrowing Budget.

.@housedemocrats.bsky.social fought late into the night to stop the One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill. Our children deserve more than a budget that robs them of their future. youtu.be/iHnbO7_Mkik

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

We are the grown-ups, but under this budget proposal, we're not governing like grown-ups. Watch my full Rules Committee testimony here: youtu.be/SJrMYM08j9E?...

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 1(source)

Right now, I’m in the Rules Committee introducing my amendments to stop the ugliness in this One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill—I’ll do everything I can to stop a budget that cuts health, food, and education lifelines for millions, while saddling our children with another $3.9 trillion in debt.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 1(source)

The One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill will increase our deficit by $3.9 trillion over the next decade. Congress won’t pay for it; our children will. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

As a former federal prosecutor, I don’t know whether to be more appalled by this administration’s dismissal of criminal charges against violent MS-13 gang members or by its pardon of convicted January 6th insurrectionists.

Trump Vowed to Dismantle MS-13. His Deal With Bukele Threatens That Effort.

Top gang leaders being sent back to El Salvador were part of a lengthy federal investigation that has amassed evidence of a corrupt pact between the Bukele government and MS-13.

Here’s the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide, based on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s assessment: buff.ly/mmtHATK 2/2

Recent experience suggests that some members of Congress may not fully understand what’s in the Big Bloated Borrowing Bill—or how it will accelerate the accumulation of more than $3 trillion in debt for future generations. 1/2

A List of Nearly Everything in the Senate G.O.P. Bill, and How Much It Would Cost or Save

The legislation includes tax cuts as well as big cuts to Medicaid, food benefits and other programs, and it would add more than $3 trillion to the national debt.

It’s fire season—and some goats are doing their part to keep our community safe. No, not GOATS like Steph Curry; these four-legged landscapers clear brush and other wildfire fuel along the Coastside, helping us sustainably (and cutely) prepare for the months ahead.

Conservationists ruminate on benefits of goats

The annual running of the goats pleased spectators who watched 600 head from Poplar Beach to Railroad Avenue Sunday morning.

This provision in the 14th Amendment is meant to protect every child born in this country—we are all U.S. citizens. There is no more divisive act a political leader could take than to say, "Those of you who have been deemed U.S. citizens are no longer."

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJun 27(source)

The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. CASA clips the wings of Americans who need to challenge unconstitutional actions taken by our government.

Until Speaker Mike Johnson follows the law and hangs the real thing, this replica will hang outside of my office. Mike: You can't back the blue if you back the coup.

On January 6th, police officers put their lives on the line to defend our Capitol and our democracy against insurrection. Congress passed a law to honor them—but their plaque collects dust in the Capitol basement because the House GOP fears offending right-wing extremist groups and President Trump.

If the past 24 hours of news have proven anything, its that we need grown-up governance. #SipWithSam

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court's historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized marriage equality. As we celebrate this landmark decision on #EqualityDay, we must also keep fighting to ensure full equality under the law for the LGBTQ+ community.‪ @equality.house.gov‬

While enduring our third House Financial Services Committee hearing dedicated solely to criticize whatever the last administration did, I asked a few questions to explore how political corruption in this administration is undermining basic financial protections for every American consumer.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJun 25(source)

Turns out the Byrd Bath has nothing to do with our feathered friends and everything to do with the budget. But what does it have to do with sandwiches? #SipWithSam buff.ly/dqD9Qxz
