At a time when Americans are struggling to afford rent, Congressional Republicans’ have spent $1.7 billion to make silencers easier to get. How does this make us safer and lower the cost of living? Hear from Kris Brown, President of Brady on why this is so dangerous. youtu.be/SaicdrsJrZA?...

Thank you to everyone who made “good trouble” across our district yesterday. Your voice is making a difference, and we need to keep this up. I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Community members line the streets with signs at the Calistoga Good Trouble Protest.

The person on the left, wearing a white cap and jeans, holds a sign that reads "I'M WITH HIM →". The person on the right, wearing sunglasses and a blue-patterned shirt, holds a sign that says "GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON". A group of other community members with American flags and signs can be seen in the background.

Fact: Congressional Republicans voted earlier this month to add $5 trillion to our national debt. The money they are clawing back from foreign aid and public broadcasting will hurt our allies and our rural communities yet is not enough to make a dent in the national debt. Read more for yourself.

#FactCheckFriday Congressional Republicans voted late last night to claw back funding from our allies and local TV and radio stations. They say it is to help us save money and balance our budget. apnews.com/article/pbs-...

Congress approves Trump's $9 billion cut to public broadcasting and foreign aid

The House has approved President Donald Trump’s request to claw back about $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid.

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 18(source)

Read my full statement on the passage of Congressional Republicans’ bill to take back federal funding from public media stations and foreign aid programs that was already approved by Congress and signed into law.

“Make no mistake: These clawbacks are an attack on public safety. Our public radio and TV stations, especially those in rural communities, are often the only trusted local news source. Publicly funded media stations are the ones covering our kids’ high school sports games, providing high-quality educational programming to our kids, and distributing essential public safety information during natural disasters. To slash this funding is to attack these important services.

“At the same time, Congressional Republicans are pulling funding from Ukraine and other allies. When our allies are unsafe, we are all unsafe. Cuts to foreign aid undermine our national security.

“Congressional Republicans’ claims that this is about saving money are laughable considering they just passed a bill that will add nearly $5 trillion to our national debt in order to give tax breaks to their billionaire donors who don’t need the help.

In 2019, I was honored to walk with him again to mark the House’s passage of universal background checks for firearm purchases. Today and every day we continue Representative Lewis’ important work standing up for decency and democracy. (2/2)

As Americans across our country gather to make some “good trouble” today, I’m remembering my dear friend and colleague John Lewis. In 2015, I was honored to join him to mark the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday and march together across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. (1/2)

This is disastrous for us as we compete with China and will increase costs.

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 17(source)

We made great progress in lowering energy costs and advancing renewable energy in recent years. But the President and Congressional Republican’s big ugly law just stripped away many of the green energy provisions that have lowered costs.

Trump promised to lower energy costs – his tax bill will raise them for people in red states the most

The President appointed Jerome Powell in 2017 and since then, Chairman Powell has led our country through the COVID-19 pandemic and achieved a soft landing, helping ensure we didn’t slip into a recession. The President’s efforts to undermine Chairman Powell are unlawful and dangerous.

New York Times article with headline: "If you like 35 percent inflation, go ahead, fire the Fed chair"

Excerpt: By Rebecca Patterson

President Trump is ramping up his campaign for lower interest rates. It is a high-risk and potentially self-defeating effort.

For months, Mr. Trump has called for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, to which he’s added calls for its chair, Jerome Powell, to resign. In recent days, the administration appears to have opened a dangerously novel front, even if it is potentially legal: building a case to fire a Fed chair for cause.

The risk of allowing the central bank to be perceived as a political tool is depressingly obvious, illustrated by even a cursory review of similar efforts overseas. Even if the American economy and financial markets are strong enough to moderate the impact of the Fed’s tarnished reputation, the directional response seems clear: higher long-term borrowing costs for households and businesses and a weaker currency that would support inflation.

If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will. I’m proud to display this replica outside my office. Thank you to the men and women who stepped up to protect our democracy. (2/2)

Plaque that says "On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten."

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 16(source)

After January 6, 2021, Congress passed a law requiring the Capitol display a plaque recognizing our brave Capitol police officers who defended us. Yet this plaque is sitting forgotten in the basement. (1/2)

Congress must act to protect veterans’ benefits and support services. (4/4)

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 16(source)

We made progress when we established and continue to improve the veteran suicide hotline, but this administration threatens to undo that progress by firing tens of thousands of VA staff. Among those fired by DOGE were workers for the veteran crisis hotline. (3/4)

Walter’s passing is a reminder of our duty to care for our veterans. Our veterans are 57 percent more likely to die by suicide than civilians. (2/4)

According to nonpartisan policy experts, the President & Congressional Republicans’ big ugly law hands a $96,400 tax break to those making $1 million every year, and just $247 to someone making less than $50K per year. Meanwhile, their tariff war is costing American families another $2,300 annually.

My bill was the first state telehealth legislation ever and now, several years and one pandemic later, I continue to work to expand telehealth access to this day. (2/2)

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 16(source)

I authored and passed the first state telemedicine legislation after learning of an incredible, life-or-death story right here in our district. Telemedicine saved the day. (1/2)

Rep. Mike Thompson@mikethompson.house.govJul 15(source)

Nowhere is this more apparent than in everyday food and drink prices. Fruit and vegetable prices are up nearly 1 percent, coffee is up 2.2 percent, and beef prices are up 2 percent.
