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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
America cannot win this century without the investment in basic science research that enabled us to win the 20th century – this Administration’s divestment cedes ground to China. We demand the restoration of critical dollars for NIH, NSF, DOE, and their grantees against this unlawful order.
In a Congress where only a minority of us accept the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change, I’ll focus on solutions that we can agree upon, such as empowering property owners to invest in risk reduction that can mitigate damage.
