ICYMI: I was a “hell no” on the One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, and I joined KRON4 News to discuss why this bill is anything but—as Speaker Johnson put it, “common sense."

Thank you, San Jose and Menlo Park, for hosting two great community events to bring us together this weekend. It was great to see our neighbors and a familiar face (@schiff.senate.gov)!
After this past week in Washington, we had plenty to talk about during office hours in San Jose. I’m grateful to the neighbors who showed up for thoughtful conversations. In these challenging times, your engagement is what keeps our democracy strong.
Congrats to Half Moon Bay Brewing Company on their 25th anniversary! From a local dream to a community pillar, the Mendoncas and their team serve great food & brews, and created a gathering place that brings people together, while always giving back to the Coastside community.
We’re celebrating the red, white, and BEAN at Palo Alto’s 4th of July Chili Cook-Off and Summer Festival at the Mitchell Park Bowl. Thanks to all the chili competitors—it was an honor to announce the winners at this saucy celebration.
We kicked off the Fourth of July by raising the stars and stripes high in Los Gatos. As we celebrate today, let’s reflect on what our flag represents—and honor all those who’ve fought to keep it flying and our freedoms alive.
Happy Independence Day to all! Our collective legacy reminds us that despite the daily threats to our freedoms, the American spirit can and must endure.
I voted "hell no" on the One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill.
Leader Jeffries is showing America what real leadership looks like—standing strong and refusing to back down. I’m proudly behind him in the House Chamber as he keeps our fight alive.
While congressional leaders may gaslight the public about the bill's true cost, nearly every independent, nonpartisan expert knows better.
We’re about to find out if just four House Republicans have the courage to stop the Big Bloated Borrowing Bill. It’s time for grown-up governance—and my new Medium post lays out a better path to budgeting for our children’s future. Read more: buff.ly/stXMhVo.
We—Republicans and Democrats—could have negotiated a better bill than this. Last night at Rules, House Democrats offered 505 amendments to fix this Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, but not a single one was accepted.
We’re on the House Steps, unified against the One Big Bloated Borrowing Budget.
.@housedemocrats.bsky.social fought late into the night to stop the One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill. Our children deserve more than a budget that robs them of their future.

We are the grown-ups, but under this budget proposal, we're not governing like grown-ups. Watch my full Rules Committee testimony here: youtu.be/SJrMYM08j9E?...
Right now, I’m in the Rules Committee introducing my amendments to stop the ugliness in this One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill—I’ll do everything I can to stop a budget that cuts health, food, and education lifelines for millions, while saddling our children with another $3.9 trillion in debt.
The One Big Bloated Borrowing Bill will increase our deficit by $3.9 trillion over the next decade. Congress won’t pay for it; our children will.

As a former federal prosecutor, I don’t know whether to be more appalled by this administration’s dismissal of criminal charges against violent MS-13 gang members or by its pardon of convicted January 6th insurrectionists.
Here’s the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide, based on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s assessment:
