Silicon Valley's CA-17. New economic patriotism & restoring American manufacturing. Pro working families. Ending endless wars. No PAC $. He/Him.

Happy to be back home for National Night Out! It was great stopping by events across CA-17, catching up with familiar faces, and thanking the incredible law enforcement officers who work every day to help keep our communities safe.

From record heat to noxious air from wildfires, people are paying for the climate crisis with their health. I am proud to introduce the Green New Deal for Health with @khanna.house.gov to build a healthcare system to withstand this crisis and to put patients and workers first.

I’m proud to re-introduce the Green New Deal for Health with @markey.senate.gov. The bill is simple. It says we need to prepare for climate disasters by having healthcare and emergency professionals in communities who are ready to deal with climate events.

I’m proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep. Luna to prevent federal elected officials from using campaign funds to go after survivors who bring claims of sexual assault or harassment. Thank you to Cheyenne Hunt for your work and leadership on this issue.

Republicans attached the SAVE Act to a congressional stock trading ban, knowing it will make passage impossible in the Senate. This is why Americans hate politics.

The House just passed an additional $60 billion for the war in Iran. This money could fund free public college and free childcare for every American while expanding health care coverage for seniors. It’s time to end the war and focus on investment here at home.

Five things House Democrats are going to do once we have the majority: Medicare for All A living wage Stronger union protections  $10 a day childcare End aid to Israel

Rep. Thomas Massie and I called on the DOJ to comply with our Epstein Files Transparency Act after its botched redaction and failure to release the remaining files. The survivors & the public deserve answers. Thanks to Katie Phang & those fighting for transparency.

Republicans have adjourned Congress early for the 4th while most Americans are still working. We should be in DC to end the Iran war and bring gas and food prices down.

Today, 11am ET I'm hosting a roundtable with survivors and leading advocacy organizations together to discuss the realities of trafficking and sexual assault, the failures in current systems, and concrete actions Congress can take to better protect survivors and prevent abuse.

BIG thanks to @khanna.house.gov for introducing a bill in Congress to help alleviate the pain U.S. consumers are feeling at the pump as a result of Trump’s war in Iran! We can’t allow Big Oil to export gasoline and exploit markets when people are already struggling.

Democrat Ro Khanna to introduce bill to stop US gasoline exports amid Iran war

Congressman says keeping gas supplies at home could lower costs for Americans amid price hikes sparked by war

Funding a war in the Middle East is not America first. That’s why Rep. Thomas Massie and I are forcing a vote next week on our bipartisan Iran War Powers resolution. Instead of sending billions overseas, we need to invest in jobs, healthcare, and education here.

The Supreme Court made it clear today: no president is above the Constitution and no president gets to abuse emergency powers like IEEPA to slap hidden taxes on working Americans.

This is the time for Democrats to take an unconditional stand. Alex Pretti and Renee Goode didn't die in vain. No caving or compromising with moral principle. Not an additional dollar for ICE until we tear it down and build a new enforcement agency that respects constitutional rights.

I am calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island. I will not rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

Prime Minister Carney made it clear that Trump's threats to Greenland have destroyed the world order. I asked world leaders for their patience & faith in a new generation of Americans who believe in peace & international law.
