On the 3rd anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the worst part of the Trump Administration’s approach is: a) Capitulating to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin b) Betraying the Ukrainian people c) Betraying long-standing, loyal allies in Europe d) Betraying our values e) All of the above

Macron tries to sway Trump as U.S. backs Russia over Ukraine in U.N. vote

French President Emmanuel Macron is seeking to preserve U.S.-European ties even as the United States under Trump may no longer be a reliable partner against Russia.

Working with partners like Public Citizen and Democracy Forward, we’ve secured more than two dozen court injunctions from GOP and Democratic-appointed judges blocking executive “disorders”-- and counting. We’ll keep fighting to stop these unconstitutional attacks on the American people.

IICYMI: I joined KRON-TV to discuss my new role on the Rapid Response Task Force & Litigation Working Group.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 21(source)

Thank you to Chancellor Dr. Beatri Chaidez and Acting President David Wain Coon for explaining the impacts of proposed cuts to programs like SNAP, which would deprive thousands of students of the food assistance they rely on daily. In Washington, I’ll fight for our students.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 21(source)

This week, I had the privilege of meeting with students and educators at San Jose City College. Students shared the burdens that many face, including high housing costs and concerns over potential cuts to education funding, such as Pell Grants.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 21(source)

I’m proud to join House leadership in the Rapid Response Task Force & Litigation Working Group as we continue to stop this unconstitutional and unlawful assault on our institutions, our Constitution, and our people.

Let's talk about defense spending (with a side of dad jokes)...

America’s labs are hubs for innovation and progress. Since I was a young kid, I had a deep fascination with physics, and would borrow my oldest sister’s textbook to read more. Today, I had the pleasure of geeking out at our own SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory with Lab Director John Sarrao.

Judges have already issued 22 injunctions limiting or halting the administration’s actions, and we will explore other challenges to these executive disorders, and uphold Article I of the Constitution.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 20(source)

Last night, I spoke with 40 non-profit leaders, as part of a Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits convening, to discuss these impacts. I recently joined the House Democrats’ Rapid Response Task Force, where I’ll focus on challenging these actions in the courts – putting my law degree to good use.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 20(source)

The Trump Administration's “executive disorders” to indiscriminately halt trillions in congressionally-appropriated funds has left nonprofits throughout the country scrambling to keep the lights on and serve vulnerable community members.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 19(source)

They shared challenges felt on the Coastside to infrastructure, housing affordability, and DOGE-related disruptions to schools, health care, and wildfire prevention. I’m very grateful to County Supervisor Ray Mueller for making room for me at his office. Check out my website for address and hours.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 19(source)

Our Coastside neighbors deserve access to all of the constituent services my team offers, so we opened our Half Moon Bay office, and met with dozens of community leaders.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 19(source)

I want to hear from you – mark your calendars for my telephone town hall on 2/25 @ 6 PM PT. Dial 833-998-0865 to join – see you there!

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 19(source)

Over 1,170 people are alive because of the 129th Rescue Wing’s efforts – it was my honor to thank these local heroes in person. I didn’t want my cold to keep anyone from saving lives, so I masked up indoors.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 18(source)

Thank you to local hero Manuel Romero for reminding us of our most deeply-held values as Americans—and for inspiring us to live up to them. youtu.be/64AhYKVwktI

This President’s Day, I want to honor my favorite Oval Office occupant: Abraham Lincoln. His accomplishments are well-known, but I admired his style of leadership— seeking the advice of a “team of rivals” in the words of Doris Kearns Goodwin — that forced him to see all sides of complex problems.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 14(source)

Seven years ago, 17 students, teachers and staff were murdered and another 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. If this tragedy was a wake-up call to America, Congress slept through the alarm.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 13(source)

Congress should be working to make sure every American has the chance to get ahead, not pursuing cultural wars that only serve to threaten our LGBTQI+ neighbors. I’m proud to be one of more than 190 members of Congress joining @equality.house.gov .
