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.

Your personal data, your benefits, and your dollars must not fall under the control of an unelected shadow president. We’ll pursue judicial and any other remedies to stop him

Today, my colleagues and I sent a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury demanding he stop Elon Musk’s blatantly illegal commandeering of the federal payments database.

The U.S.'s record office vacancy rates pose a systematic risk to the health of our financial system that nobody is discussing. During today's @ushousefsc.bsky.social hearing, I brought attention to this issue and will continue pressing for answers.

In addition to our listening session, I’ve spoken with ICE officials regarding reports of ICE activity in our community, emphasizing that our otherwise law-abiding immigrant neighbors should not face threats in schools, churches, health clinics, or homes.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 4(source)

Firefighters across the Bay Area deployed to Southern California to battle the devastating fires, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude for their service. This weekend, I visited San Jose Fire Department Station 2 to thank a few of our heroes…and I brought along some Peter's Bakery cookies.

We will hold the Administration accountable to comply with Article I of the Constitution and the 1974 Impoundment Control Act.

These "Executive Disorders" literally defund police departments that would otherwise put more officers on the street and strip resources from fire departments and public hospitals like Valley Med, all because of an obsession with social policy.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 3(source)
