Republicans are trying to hand Trump and Hegseth a $150 billion slush fund with no plan. "Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch. That's what's happening here."

We must hold Republicans accountable for enabling Trump's reckless, illegal war. This war has cost thousands of lives and spiked prices of everything from gas to groceries. Progressive Caucus members have introduced 10 War Powers Resolutions to force Republicans to answer for it.

For the third time, I voted to stop the war in Iran. And for the third time, Republicans stood in the way. I won’t stop pushing to end Trump’s war and the instability that’s sending gas prices soaring nationwide.

What's it like to be a Press Intern for a day in my office? From chatting with constituents on the phone to staffing interviews that get under Pete Hegseth's skin, every day is different as an intern on Capitol Hill. If you think you'd be a good fit to be an intern in my office you can apply here: garamendi.house.gov/services/inter…

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act threatens not only Black voters, but the very foundation of democracy itself. When courts roll back protections against racial discrimination in voting, they create opportunities for discriminatory maps, voter suppression, and the silencing of entire communities. As the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once warned: “Throwing out [voting rights] when it has worked and is continuing to work is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Trump said the quiet part out loud when asked how he’s balancing the Iran war with rising gas prices: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” At least he’s finally being honest. Gas prices are soaring. Inflation just hit its highest level since 2023. Grocery costs continue to climb. And instead of focusing on the economic pain Americans are feeling every day, the President seems more interested in acting like a wannabe dictator.

Americans are struggling to pay for healthcare, groceries, gas, and housing after Trump and Republicans’ cuts. Now Trump wants to blow $1.2 TRILLION on a “Golden Dome” with no clear details and no real plan. cbo.gov/publication/62…

The RNC thinks you're too stupid to listen to what I actually said. Instead of lowering costs or stopping war with Iran, Republicans and Trump are solely focused on making it harder for you to vote. But that’s typical coming from them. The only thing they’re good at is lying.

Rep. John Garamendi thinks that women are too stupid to provide proof of citizenship to vote — including his wife. The majority of Americans want the SAVE America Act passed, but Democrats are trying to gaslight you into thinking you're too stupid for commonsense voter ID laws.

I'm getting a lot of questions regarding Trump’s war of choice in Iran and the soaring prices at the grocery store and the gas pump. To address these questions and many more, I will be holding a Zoom town hall on Monday, May 11, at 6:00 PM. RSVP HERE: zoom.us/webinar/regist…

The 60-day War Powers deadline for the Iran conflict has passed, with more than 50,000 troops remaining deployed in the region. ASP talked to @RepGaramendi about how Congress should respond. Check out the full video: shorturl.at/jh33k ➡️

This is insane. The GOP's newly proposed TN Congressional maps would have people in Shelby County all the way to Williamson County—200+ miles apart—being "represented" by the same Congressman. It's a blatant, corrupt power grab that would destroy the Black community's and our entire city's voice.

Here is the proposed map for Tennessee redistricting, as just sent out from the Republican Senate press office. #tnleg

Natural disasters and rising sea levels are putting our infrastructure at risk. The Bay Area is on the front lines..  I’m introducing the ADAPT Act with @CaltransHQ and @MTCBATA. Together, we’ll protect infrastructure, create good-paying union jobs, and lower long-term costs.

The only reason Trump is blocking offshore wind is to keep our reliance tied to Big Oil. Notice his administration isn’t calling offshore oil a national security threat. Trump is using any excuse to kneecap clean energy and stick you with higher bills. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/cli…
