Rep. Mike Thompson

It’s the job of the Director of National Intelligence to determine imminent threats to the United States. DNI Tulsi Gabbard says it’s up to the president. Why does she still have a job if Trump is doing it for her? nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

Harming police or service animals is already illegal under federal and state law. This bill would have added penalties if you’re an immigrant. Look at Kristi Noem if you want to further protect puppies.

If you or someone you know is experiencing delays in your DACA renewal or need any other help navigating a federal agency my office is here for you: mikethompson.house.gov

The Trump administration is deliberately slow-walking DACA renewals, using bureaucratic delays as a backdoor to dismantle a program they couldn't end legally. DACA applicants who followed the rules, shared their personal information in good faith, and built their lives here shouldn't have their futures put at risk because this administration is keeping them from renewing their status. notus.org/immigration/se…

The women who came forward today are the definition of bravery. Read my full statement below.

Great meeting with students from Napa Valley College. As a proud alumnus, I know firsthand the opportunities NVC provides and the impact it has on our community. I’ll keep fighting to make higher education more affordable and accessible by lowering student loan interest rates, protecting programs like Pell Grants, and standing up for every student’s right to learn and succeed.

I asked the experts at today's hearing a simple question: Did we cure kidney disease? The answer was no. So why is the Trump Administration cutting grants for research funding? This is not the time to pull the plug on the science that could save lives.

The sudden closure of a cannery in Modesto has left California peach growers without contracts. I’m leading a bipartisan effort to work with the USDA to provide $9 million in emergency assistance to help farmers transition to new crops and help them find stability again. Our ag community feeds the world, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure they have the support they need to thrive.

Congressional Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, kicked 15 million people off their insurance, and then called a hearing on preventing kidney disease. You can't prevent disease if you can't afford to see a doctor. People won't stop getting sick — they'll just stop getting treatment.

According to award-winning research, immigration does not increase crime, and it never has. sfchronicle.com/california/art…

Over 300 students have graduated from my Student Leadership Council, and this year's class was the largest in the program's history. These young leaders are already engaged in our community and making a difference, and I couldn't be more proud. davisenterprise.com/news/thompson-…

Trump's own National Counterterrorism Center director just quit over the Iran war. He said it plainly: “Iran poses no imminent threat” and “this war serves no benefit to the American people.” This guy is a white supremacist who has no business being in charge of counterterrorism in the first place, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

This is exactly what NOT to do when you're at war. Trump is now threatening NATO allies with a "very bad future" if they don't help secure the Strait of Hormuz. You don't win wars by alienating every ally you have. This war is already costing Americans at the pump, in their wallets, and with their lives. Now it's costing us our allies. politico.eu/article/donald…

@ParkinJon Hope this helps nytimes.com/article/us-sol…

@RepThompson What US service members died in Iran?

While American servicemembers are dying in Iran, the Trump administration is threatening to strip broadcast licenses from any news outlet that is reporting on the war. This is censorship. Trump can't control the battlefield, so now he's trying to control what you see and hear about his unauthorized war. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

The IRS leaked taxpayer data to ICE. ‘DOGE’ tried to hand over Social Security records to a group working to overturn elections. Trump's "CEO of the IRS" is doing nothing about it. @RepThompson and I won't stop demanding accountability and justice for these illegal data breaches!

224 years ago, the United States Military Academy at West Point was founded. The academy has long produced America’s finest men and women who dedicate their lives to defending our country. As a veteran, nominating students to attend the academy is one of my greatest honors in Congress.

Continuing the war in Iran won't just put our troops in danger, it will spike your gas bills, drain your retirement accounts, expose our hospitals to cyberattacks, and send inflation through the roof.

5 years ago today, a gunman killed 8 people at 3 spas in Atlanta. Today, we remember those lost and hold their loved ones in our hearts. We must commit to enacting sensible policies to end gun violence in our communities.

Glad to see that the courts are resisting Trump’s attack on the incredibly hard-working staff at the VA. Stripping their contract is an attack on working class Americans, health care access, and our country’s veterans. Thank you, AFGE. afge.org/publication/co…
