We're literally seeing grandma's retirement seized to build sports stadiums.

If you're recruiting folks from the Stars Wars Cantina, you're gonna have a hard time running the country. www.youtube.com/shorts/kTc0-...

$1.5 billion was invested within 14 minutes of a Presidential announcement. The SEC said nothing.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 23(source)

Once or twice is a remarkable coincidence, five times in a single month is racketeering.

Congratulations Stanford's Men’s Gymnastics for winning the National Collegiate Championship. Our athletes delivered an exceptional performance and extended Stanford’s unprecedented 50-year NCAA championship streak, the longest in college athletics. Fear the Tree!! 🌲

Stanford reaches 50 straight years with an NCAA team championship - NCAA.org

Stanford's unmatched streak is the longest in NCAA history — across all divisions and all sports. Here's what it looks like up close.

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

The good news for Congressman Lawler's constituents is nothing enables them to forget the painful impact of Trump's tariffs, like $4 a gallon gas, and it's only going to go up.

Happy Earth Day! Let’s Save Willy!

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

Sam’s note: Okay, yes, I’m aware that (a) the photo is corny, and (b) Willy was an orca whale, but my comms team is on fire, so I’m going with it….

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

Hollywood freed Willy. Now it’s on us to protect him. Nearly 1 in 5 gray whales that enter the Bay die. The Save Willy Act will protect these magnificent creatures and help mariners avoid costly, harrowing collisions. Together, we can Save Willy.

I’m proud to partner with Rep. Young Kim on the bipartisan PACE Act, to modernize our financial payments system for the benefit of millions of cash-strapped Americans.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 21(source)

We can reduce the burden of fees borne by too many American families by enabling broader access to innovative payment systems that deliver cheaper, faster, more reliable service.

It’s been great to have so many constituents visit our nation’s Capitol; last week, it was my pleasure to welcome the Yuen family from Mountain View.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 20(source)

ICYMI: I introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Mike Lawler to stop the government-sponsored cash grabs that victimize too many older Americans. As we discuss here on CBS, states shouldn’t steal grandma’s hard-earned savings to build sports stadiums.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 20(source)

Great to see a familiar friend, Dr. Cynthia Teniente-Mattson, in D.C. We are lucky to have her leadership as SJSU’s President, as well as students (and future leaders) like Ma'Kayla and Katelyn, who joined her in Washington to advocate for funding for Pell Grants and research.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 20(source)

SJSU fuels Silicon Valley’s progress with more engineering and computer science grads than any other university.

Hegseth Quotes Fake 'Pulp Fiction' Bible Verse, Compares Trump to Jesus

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quoted a monologue from "Pulp Fiction" during a prayer, and compared Trump to Jesus during a Pentagon press conference.

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

Great meeting with veterans, active servicemembers, and reservists at Moffett Field for a discussion about the cost-of-living challenges facing our veteran and military families.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 18(source)

We also discussed the war in Iran, and Pope Leo’s call to choose peace. Can’t wait to see where they go next.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govApr 18(source)

Great to huddle with 7th graders from St. Raymond’s School in Menlo Park during their visit to Washington. Credit to their teachers—these middle schoolers showed up ready with sharp questions about AI’s impact on jobs and education.
