Always great seeing friends from home here in D.C. Thank you to Mountain View Mayor Emily Ann Ramos and Councilmember Pat Showalter for sharing our residents’ top priorities, including federal funding for key public safety and affordable housing projects.
Weeks ago, I cosponsored a bill to pay TSA, the Coast Guard, & other law-abiding DHS personnel. 175 colleagues have signed on a discharge petition to force an unwilling Speaker Johnson to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. We need 44 more members to sign on to get these paychecks out the door.
Saturday morning, I met with many hard-working TSA agents at San José Mineta International Airport who keep our country safe—and they’re consistently showing up, without pay, as they struggle afford the gas to get to work.

Our community wraps our arms around each of our neighbors and wishes you a blessed new year of health, prosperity, and renewed hope for peace and brighter days ahead.
Happy Nowruz! Today, many Persian Americans mark this holiday with heavy hearts, separated from their loved ones during this ongoing conflict.
Amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East, this period has been especially heavy for many in our Muslim communities. We extend our wishes for strength and peace to our neighbors and send our support to all those affected around the world.
As Ramadan draws to a close, we mark Eid al-Fitr—a time that reflects a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual renewal.
We need to get to 218. Let’s get people paid.
Hardworking TSA officers, Coast Guard, and other law-abiding DHS workers could have a paycheck today if more of my colleagues joined me and 175 House Democrats to force a vote on our bill to get their paychecks out the door. Not a single Republican has joined us.
I cosponsored legislation that pays TSA and Coast Guard officers and other law-abiding DHS personnel—and Republican leadership refuses to allow a floor vote.
Yesterday, I signed the discharge petition to move this bill to the floor, around the Speaker. Let’s get people paid.
We have a choice: educate the best and brightest students in the U.S. to help America succeed, or send them home to China, India, and other rivals to launch companies to compete against us.
Trump threatened to eliminate OPT, which would send hundreds of thousands of innovators back to companies in China, India, and elsewhere to compete against us. 2/2
For context: Silicon Valley–and America–have thrived by leveraging a program called “OPT” to keep U.S.-educated foreign graduate students in engineering, science, and mathematics to our innovative startups. 1/2
Today, I introduced the bipartisan Keep Innovators in America Act with Republican Rep. Jay Obernolte and Democratic @congressmanraja.bsky.social because both parties should agree that America must win the global war for talent.
