Thank you to the Bay Area Muslim Council and the Arab Christian communities at the Unity Palo Alto Spiritual Center who welcomed me Monday. Our discussion on difficult subjects ranging from war abroad to Islamophobia at home, spurred my own thinking. I’m grateful for all who shared their views.

The American people deserve to know why this Administration rewards Russia with oil profits while it helps Iran kill American soldiers. I’m proud to lead this effort with @gallego.senate.gov. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/09/b...

Congressional Democrats demand reversal of Russian oil sales into India as energy prices soar

Good riddance, Kristi Noem. Firing Noem is a start, but we need an agency that stops firing at innocent humans.

I value the chance to meet one-on-one during community office hours, and hear directly about the issues that matter most to you. This weekend we spent a few hours at Orchard Valley Coffee, a happy haunt of mine when I lived in Campbell 20 years ago.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govFeb 25(source)

We recently celebrated more than $14 million in Community Project Funding that we delivered back home. Over $6 million will help address our housing crisis in separate projects in Mountain View, San José, Pacifica, and the West Valley.
