As House Republicans celebrate the passage of a budget blueprint that will decimate Medicaid, Pell grants, and child food programs, I’m reminded by my Mom’s words to her 7-year-old son after a mischief-filled shopping trip: “you broke it, you bought it.”

My Bay Area colleague, @repkevinmullin.bsky.social, came to the House Floor — post-surgery — using a walker, to vote NO on the budget.
Rep. Pettersen brought her newborn from Colorado to vote NO.
We’re pulling out all the stops—@housedemocrats.bsky.social are not going down without a fight.
🪄 Magic✨ won't save the GOP's budget plan, and neither will Democrats. #SipwithSam

The GOP’s budget puts 130K of our neighbors at risk of losing healthcare while adding $1.6T to the deficit. Families wouldn’t budget this poorly—Congress shouldn’t either. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are united against this mess.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
We're sipping on location today! #SipWithSam ☕
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
