There’s a lot of information coming at you about Venezuela and health care. Let’s talk about it. #sipwithsam

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 8(source)

Few expect the Senate to pass this three-year extension, so it’s imperative that Senate leadership advance pragmatic alternatives, like the bipartisan Fix It Act that I co-authored with Republican Kevin Kiley—the only ACA extension that also reduces our deficit. [2/2] www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

House passes bill to extend health care subsidies in defiance of GOP leaders

The vote is a remarkable rebuke of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who tried to stop it.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 8(source)

Today, I voted for common sense. Several House Republicans joined a unanimous group of Democrats to extend affordable care tax credits for three years to mitigate the impact of skyrocketing premiums on millions of families. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 8(source)

I’m grateful to the community leaders who helped advance these projects, and proud of what we accomplished together. I’ll keep working across the aisle to bring more of our dollars back to our community in the months ahead. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 8(source)

Our federal tax dollars are coming back home—strengthening coastside resilience, building our innovation economy workforce, and enhancing public safety. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 8(source)

Thank you to the Senate for letting common sense prevail—I look forward to voting for this resolution when it comes to the House Floor. www.ms.now/news/senate-...

Senate advances war powers resolution to rein in Trump on Venezuela

While it's a significant rebuke of the president, the resolution faces an uphill battle to actually limit Trump's military actions in Venezuela.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 7(source)

I'm not Marty Supreme, so why is Congress playing ping pong?

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 7(source)

Sending armed ICE agents—typically lacking any training or experience in urban policing—into our neighborhoods leads to tragically violent outcomes like this. Praying for this woman’s family, and for the Minneapolis community.

The New York Times

Open post ↗

ICE officers in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman in a car, but details of the shooting remained unclear, with conflicting accounts from local and federal officials. The shooting took place about a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Follow updates.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 7(source)

Wishing all who celebrate a happy Epiphany—a day rooted in tradition, reflection, and giving. Feliz Día de los Reyes Magos a todos quienes lo celebran, un día de tradición, reflexión y generosidad.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 6(source)

Turns out that the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau isn't just awful for consumers; it's bad for many banks, too. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump’s dismantling of consumer bureau creates headache for small banks

The president wants to eliminate the agency. Community lenders worry that will make them less competitive.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 5(source)

I support peaceful protests in Iran and the Iranian people’s fight for a democracy, but direct American military intervention will merely bolster support of Iranian people for the current regime. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

What to Know About the Protests in Iran

Galloping inflation and a currency crisis have provoked demonstrations across the country.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 4(source)

Last year, I introduced thirteen bills. I don’t pick favorites—but if I had to choose… Two of them made it into a bipartisan housing package that cuts the red tape to accelerate construction of affordable apartments. I look forward to voting on this package when it reaches the House Floor.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 3(source)

Recent history shows how this movie ends, and it’s a horror show. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 3(source)

We can all agree that dictator Nicolas Maduro deserves no sympathy, but recasting petro-motivated military aggression as a battle against narco-terrorism isn’t law enforcement, it’s subverting the law—namely, Article I of our Constitution. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 2(source)

Haregewaine Mitiku Ayalew was a beloved member of our community who devoted her life to caring for our most vulnerable neighbors, and was an active volunteer of the Mekane Rama Saint Gabriel Church. I was honored to share her story on the House floor.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 1(source)

Happy New Year! Wishing you health, happiness, and hope in the year ahead.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJan 1(source)

One person is killed an average of every 42 minutes in a drunk-driving crash, and these tragedies often rise around New Year’s. Let’s make tonight about celebration, not mourning; make a plan to get home safely from wherever you go. Drive sober—or get pulled over. www.nhtsa.gov/campaign/dri...

Sure, it’s not Spotify—but this is our #wrapped. We’re ready to keep delivering for you in the year ahead.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 22(source)

This year, more than 2,000 children—from newborns to teenagers—across over 980 families will receive gifts thanks to the Campbell Chamber of Commerce. There’s still time to make a difference in a child’s holiday season. Hear from Ken Johnson, Executive Director, on how you can help.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 19(source)

Our nation needs nearly 12 million homes to meet our housing needs—and @ushousefsc.bsky.social just took a real step toward closing that gap. Two of my bipartisan bills to cut red tape and accelerate homebuilding advanced out of committee in a landmark package. Next stop: the House Floor.
