Trump’s vanity projects are expected to cost billions of dollars. Instead of building ballrooms and retrofitting his Qatari jet, that money could’ve: 🛒 Covered 1.8 million families’ groceries for the month 👩‍🏫 Hired 27,000+ new teachers 🏡 Built 4,000+ new homes

Did you know over $5 billion worth of America’s fruits and vegetables are grown in the Salinas Valley each year? I met recently with the Organic Trade Association to discuss how we can strengthen domestic organic supply chains and help #CA18 farmers thrive.

I commend @nationalacademies.org on updating "On Being a Scientist: A Guide to the Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research." This report serves as vital resource for early-career researchers trying to navigate the scientific landscape while adhering to the expectations of Congress.

Farmers across California are being hit hard by the Iran War. The cost of diesel hit a record high last week, and California’s farmers on average spent $2,037 more this planting season than they did last year. We can’t afford Trump’s disastrous war of choice.

Yesterday, I attended the Patriot Day ceremony in San José alongside San José Fire Department, SJPD, and County Sheriff’s officers. We’ll never forget the bravery and sacrifice of 9/11 first responders as well as those from the Bay Area who crossed the country 25 years ago to help recovery.

I had a great conversation at @sanjosestate.bsky.social last week with academic, ag, and tech leaders to hear about how AI impacts agricultural productivity and water security. I’m focused on how we can protect and develop our workforce to ensure #CA18 continues leading in both ag and tech.

Trump said that his illegal Iran War would last 4-5 weeks. Today marks 6 MONTHS. Americans are paying dearly for Trump’s recklessness, and the admin appears to have no strategy for getting us out of this mess. We need a Congress that will stop funding this forever war.

Lying to Congress is not just BS. It’s a crime. Secretary Wright slashed grants to “blue states” then lied, claiming politics didn’t play a part in the cancellations. Americans deserve answers. Rep Zoe Lofgren & I are calling on the DOJ to hold Wright accountable for his falsehoods.

Donald Trump’s policies are crushing Americans at the gas pump and grocery store, and the House Republicans who enabled him are saying “Stop whining, get a job, eat Ramen”. Nobody this out-of-touch should be near elected office.
