My statement on the third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th.

Rep. Jim Costa @repjimcosta.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Threats of violence against our cities should never be treated as political rhetoric, especially by the President of the United States. This kind of language is unacceptable and has no place in our country. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally

Trump made the remarks during a rambling speech in which he said gas prices would be lower soon, touted his ouster of Venezuela’s dictator, and made attacks on news outlets.

Los Angeles and San Diego are home to millions of families, workers, service members, and communities. San Diego is also home to one of the largest naval communities in the country, where thousands of service members and their families live, work, and serve.

Rep. Jim Costa @repjimcosta.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

For the President of the United States to suggest allowing Iran to ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego is reckless, and yet another example of his disturbing pattern of using dangerous rhetoric that incites violence.

It was a privilege to celebrate this historic milestone alongside His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian and present a Congressional Recognition honoring St. Mary’s enduring legacy and its important place in our Valley’s Armenian community.

I’m leading a bipartisan effort to protect $232 million in rural homeownership funding that is at risk of expiring at the end of this fiscal year. If we don’t act now, millions of dollars intended to help rural families achieve homeownership could go unused.

Trade has to be fair, and our growers deserve certainty.

Our Valley growers work hard to put food on America’s tables, and they deserve the confidence that when they sell their products, they’ll get paid. That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan effort to strengthen payment protections for American growers selling into Mexico.

California farmers, including those in the San Joaquin Valley, are being hit with more than $2,000 in additional fuel costs. It’s outrageous. Our farmers work every day to feed America, and they should not be forced to shoulder even higher costs just to keep their farms running.
