Appeals court rules Trump can't build White House ballroom without congressional approval

A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration must stop construction of the $400 million White House ballroom because Congress has not approved the project.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.gov1d ago(source)

The White House is the Peoples’ House. Article IV contains no exceptions for ballrooms.

Thanks to the leadership of President Noelia Corzo and Supervisor Ray Mueller, San Mateo County advanced an effort to stop ICE detention facilities from opening in our communities. Together, we’re using local land-use authority to protect health and safety across the Bay Area.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.gov3d ago(source)

I joined Belinda Arriaga of ALAS to discuss our regional initiative to protect our communities from ICE detention centers. Together, we’re giving cities, towns, and counties across the Bay Area the tools to take action.

If Donald Trump wants to spend billions in federal dollars to override the judgment of local police, then we all should know more about the impact, cost, and rationale of those decisions – as my SUN Act would require.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.gov6d ago(source)

$1.4 billion. That’s what the Pentagon estimates Trump’s National Guard deployment in D.C. will cost from 2027 through 2029.

Guard deployment to Washington into 2029 will cost roughly $1.4B, estimate shows

The extension of the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. until January 2029 will cost roughly $1.4 billion, according to a Defense Department estimate provided to Congress.

FEMA risks having ‘critically low’ staffing levels this hurricane season: GAO

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is at risk of having “critically low” staffing levels if there’s a major disaster, according to a nonpartisan congressional watchdog. The Government A…

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govAug 6(source)

Florida is entering peak hurricane season as FEMA faces critical staffing shortages. Nearly 7,000 employees have left in less than two year and has just 240 surge workers ready to help in an emergency—60% fewer than last year. But don’t worry. Donald Trump will bring paper towels.

Foreign student visa restrictions to hit Silicon Valley - San José Spotlight

New federal regulations will restrict how long international students can attend U.S. colleges, and schools are scrambling to work through the problem as the fall semester begins.

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

America won’t win the 21st century by sending our best & brightest back to their home countries, where they’ll build companies that compete against us. My bipartisan Keep Innovators in America Act would protect OPT and keep American-trained talent innovating, building, & creating jobs here at home.

ABC Formally Rebukes F.C.C. for Review of TV Licenses

The network’s comments are part of its efforts to push back against the F.C.C.’s review of its local broadcast licenses.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 31(source)

Earlier this month, I joined the Bay Area delegation to defend our local ABC7 KGO-TV from the FCC's unprecedented threats of license revocation. ABC argues the FCC launched a politically motivated attack, threatening free speech and an independent press.

Schoolhouse Rock skipped the fact that interns keep Congress running. Happy National Intern Day to our outstanding team.
