I visited the dedicated team at VA Palo Alto, where I saw firsthand their deep commitment to our veterans. Despite the challenges posed by DOGE-driven cuts, Dr. Jean Gurga and her team are working tirelessly to ensure continuity and excellence in care.

We know a dollar invested in resilience will save $13 in repairs -- it is cruel and chaotic not to invest in the preventative measures we need to fortify our communities against the inevitable impacts of climate change. #BringBackBRIC

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMay 27(source)

Autonomous aviation is no longer science fiction—it’s taking off right here in Mountain View. No surprise that innovation is soaring in our community! I visited Reliable Robotics to see how they're leading the way in making air travel safer and more efficient. #Innovation

Throughout our district, I joined Memorial Day celebrations to honor our brave servicemembers and their families. Grateful to reflect with neighbors in San Jose, Los Gatos, and Campbell. We remember. We honor. #MemorialDay

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMay 26(source)

Today, we honor and mourn the brave servicemembers who gave their lives defending our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the true cost of freedom. We will never forget. #MemorialDay

Pacifica was counting on federal BRIC dollars to protect our community from the inevitable impacts of climate change. FEMA must #BringBackBRIC. youtu.be/e-ILMcWwmHQ?...

I introduced the MEME Act because we need a clear line. Federal officials shouldn't be issuing digital assets. Period. #MEMEAct

Winners of an ‘Exclusive Invitation’ to Dine With Trump Will Gather Tonight

The sale of access to the president to investors in his memecoin has been assailed by Democrats and even some Republicans as unethical.

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

Tonight, Donald Trump will dine with his top memecoin investors at his golf club in Virginia. As I told the ‪@nytimes.com‬, the dinner an offense to the principles of honest government in the United States.

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

The Trump admin just canceled vital health, housing & public safety grants for Santa Clara County—funds appropriated by Congress, the only branch with power of the purse. This is why we need my bill, #POCCA, to stop this admin from clawing back money they don’t control.

The Trump administration has cancelled $85.6 million in federal grants to Santa Clara County — all of it related to public health

County officials worry this is just the “tip of the iceberg.”

My heart is heavy for Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim's families. Hate has no place in our country. abcnews.go.com/US/2-shot-fb...

2 Israeli embassy staffers killed in apparent 'targeted attack' in Washington, DC

A couple was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, law enforcement officials confirmed.

It was a long night in the House. I voted NO on the Big, Bloated Borrowing bill — but unfortunately, it passed by just one vote. Now the fight moves to the Senate. I have my doubts about whether this will make it through.

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

To my Republican colleagues: this isn’t about party. It’s about America's children. Do the right thing — their future depends on it.

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

I testified before the House Rules Committee to say what needs to be said: the GOP’s so-called budget is a fiscal disaster. The Big, Bloated Borrowing Bill steals from our children’s future — and they won’t forgive us for it.

Al Castellano won $141M in the lottery—but his greatest legacy is giving back. With his wife Carmen, he founded the Castellano Family Foundation to uplift San Jose’s Latino community. Today, we honor a true San Jose hero. #LatinoLeadership

Why was Congress up all night? House Republicans are trying to hide what's in their reconciliation bill from the American people. youtube.com/shorts/mCFgP...

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

Locking up political opponents is a hallmark of authoritarianism. Federal law explicitly authorizes Members of Congress to arrive unannounced and inspect ICE facilities. These charges against Rep. McIver are in direct violation of our oversight powers, and we will not be silent.

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

If you think House Republicans’ cuts will save us money, think again. Let’s discuss the debt they’re saddling our children with on #SipWithSam.

This sunny Sunday is the perfect reminder: summer fun doesn’t have to come with sunburns! Whether you’re cycling or lounging by the beach, don’t forget your SPF and shades. 😎 #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth
