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.
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.
Children at the Dilley Trailer Prison report unsafe water, a lack of basic medical care, moldy food, and months of detention. No child should suffer in ICE custody. I joined more than 110 colleagues demanding the Trump administration shut down Dilley and free these families.
Celebrating 44 years of la famiglia, amici, and Italian American heritage at San José’s Italian Family Festa. Thank you to Dana for helping put this wonderful event together.
Allegations that Max Miller abused his wife and child demand an immediate House Ethics Committee investigation. Congress must never serve as a safe harbor for abusers.
Earthquakes and wildfires don’t wait for us to prepare. Fortunately, one of the most important steps costs very little: storing water. @coyotemedia.org breaks down how much to store, where to put it, and how to keep it safe. www.coyotemedia.org/first-aid-ki...
First Aid Kit: How To Store Water for an Emergency
The most important item to store for a disaster is also the cheapest.

Politicization of executive authority = creeping authoritarianism.
Yesterday, I voted to end Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran. Americans have lost too much.
Thousands of Afghans risked their lives alongside our troops, fighting for freedom from a brutal regime. Abandoning our promise to protect them does not merely stain the Trump administration, but it betrays the honor of every American.
Handing Trump and Hegseth another $1.15 trillion for the bloated and rudderless Defense Department appears about as prudent as giving a bottle of scotch and the car keys to your 17-year-old.
Let's ban public officials from profiting off of their service -- for real this time.

For 46 years, Larry Stone has served Santa Clara County with distinction. I’m grateful to Larry for his leadership, his mentorship, and friendship. Please join me in wishing Larry and Carmen a blissful (and boo-free!) retirement
The Bay Area leads the world in innovation, and smart investments in quantum research can keep us there.
Americans deserve confidence that corporate consolidation won't undermine competition or the independence of our major news outlets. Good on @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and his fellow attorneys general for demanding the rigorous scrutiny this merger deserves. Congress should step up & match that urgency.
The new African American Community Service Agency mural honoring the legacy of Inez Jackson looms magnificently on North 6th near Julian St. 🧵⬇️
Disability Pride Month reminds us that our communities grow stronger when everyone can participate fully. This month and every month, we’re grateful for Parents Helping Parents and their tireless work building a more inclusive Bay Area for all.
Last week, I called for independent investigations into ICE shootings. This week, I joined nearly 200 of my House colleagues to formally demand it.
I'm proud of the work we've done to pass these bipartisan housing bills, but more work lies to tackle the housing crisis confronting far too many American families.
Today marks 6 years since we lost Congressman John Lewis. Now more than ever, we need to make good trouble. As an original cosponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, I’ll keep fighting to protect every American’s freedom to vote and carry his legacy forward.
The CFPB exists to protect consumers—not sit on the sidelines.
Are you a college student or recent graduate interested in public service? My office is hiring Fall interns in our Washington, D.C., and California offices and we want you to apply! You'll gain hands-on experience serving our community and learning how Congress works.
Will we ever "fall back" again? @amo.house.gov and I are on our way to find out.
Empowering homeowners to become home providers through ADUs helps seniors age independently, keeps families together, and gives teachers and nurses affordable options.
We must build on this momentum and keep rolling up our sleeves to tackle the housing crisis confronting far too many American families.
I’ve said for months that this is a bad deal for consumers and for the freedom of the press. I’m glad to see California, along with more than 10 other states, step in to challenge it, albeit on different grounds.
We can’t know what skills workers will need a decade from now, but we can be certain that our private sector employers will know before we do.
The FCC has opened a public comment period regarding the license renewal of KGO-TV, which many of us know as ABC7. The Trump Administration has repeatedly threatened to refuse renewals of licenses to silence voices of dissent and objective news coverage.
