In the coming days, I'll offer ideas for DOGE to cut waste, fraud, and abuse (WFA): Here's a doozy: a $200 million advertising campaign, funded entirely by taxpayer dollars, to tell people what they already know: www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

Thank you, Supervisor Ray Mueller, for convening a gathering of local officials and staff at Ludicken’s in Menlo Park to foster relationships and learn more about the issues facing San Mateo County.
We’re going to fight to protect Medicaid. We're not going to fidget, fluctuate, or fumble, and we certainly won't fade. We're going to fight to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from cutting your healthcare to cover billionaire tax cuts they don’t know how to pay for.
I’m going out on a limb to guess the economists are right about this…
Instead, Trump and the majority in Congress have hiked tariffs, proposed cuts to Medicaid, and slashed housing and veterans programs. We–both Republicans and Democrats—must focus our legislative energy on helping families pay their bills. 2/2
Last November, millions of American families struggling with the rising cost of living told us what they care about at the polls. This Administration has done nothing to address those burdens. 1/2
Great visit with the 63rd Readiness Division — we discussed how we can use federal land to increase the supply of affordable housing for families at the base and beyond.
Local innovator @Waymo is launching autonomous cars in our Valley – what do you think? Will you take a Waymo to SFO in the next month or two?
Rise up all green people! San Jose’s Shamrock Run raises ~green~ to fund scholarships for local SJSU students to participate in educational exchange with our I sister city of Dublin. I had a great time wishing all of the leprechauns, lads and lassies luck before the race.
Regeneron Science Talent Search and Westmont High School student Yash Ranjith visited our office this week. Yash developed a groundbreaking neural network that improves the ability of health and safety experts to predict pollution spread. Congratulations, Yash! #Innovation4Good.
We're not done talking about the budget. #SipWithSam

Happy Holi to all who celebrate! May your celebrations be as vibrant as the colors around you, filling your hearts and homes with joy.
While it’s still unclear if Republicans will be able to muster the votes to avoid a government shutdown, I want you to have answers about what it would mean for you. Visit my website for more information.
Purim Sameach – Happy Purim! I hope this holiday is blessed for all who celebrate.
Raul Grijalva was a steadfast champion for environmental justice and protecting our nation’s treasured natural resources — always building stronger communities in the process. May his memory be a blessing.
March is Women’s History Month. As we celebrate women's achievements, strength, and resilience, let’s also reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender equality.
To avoid a shutdown, the GOP should return to Washington to pass a 4-week stopgap and sit down at the negotiating table. Let’s get it done.
Although the GOP majority controls both houses of Congress, they still lack the votes to pass their budget resolution this week - a budget that would have pushed 32,000 families into the street and cut veterans' health care because they never negotiated with Democrats.
I didn’t come to Congress to withhold veterans' benefits, worsen our homelessness crisis, and participate in the Republicans’ scheme to abdicate Constitutional budgetary authority to a President who has demonstrated unprecedented recklessness with the lives and livelihoods of the American people.
If the last 6 weeks have taught us anything, it’s that this President needs less power, not more. Donald Trump and Elon Musk won’t abide by Congress’s funding bills, so why would we give them a blank check? So, I’m voting NO on the spending stopgap.
