This chaos is no way to run a government and certainly no way to serve the American people.
We've had a lot of drama in the headlines this week; let's talk about the very important votes that didn't make the news. #SipWithSam

What’s at stake? Our Constitution, and our democracy.
We are relieved that Daniel—a man who has served our country both in uniform and as a mission-critical VA employee—will return to his post, but we will not quickly forget how recklessly he was fired.
By rescinding Daniel’s termination, DOGE admits that he should never have been fired in the first place. This isn’t saving any money—it’s chaos.

Meet Daniel, my guest for this evening's address. Daniel is a veteran who served other veterans and the nation.
Now, he is one of thousands of federal employees unjustly terminated as a result of Trump’s unlawful dismantling of the federal workforce.

These executive orders have real human consequences, and tomorrow, Donald Trump will face a room full of those who have felt the pain he has inflicted—pain that reflects the deep anguish he continues to cause our nation.
Without Daniel, care for our veterans suffers at the VA Hospital. At many other agencies, basic operations–including those that protect us in our air travel, investigate and counter cyberattacks, and prevent nuclear weapons proliferation– face a risk of systemic failure.
It’s “amateur hour” at the White House, and the American people are ruled by reckless rookies.
He wasn’t fired because of a poor performance review or even a service level analysis that revealed his position was no longer needed. Instead, it’s a rash decision by a group of 22-year-old DOGE employees who have never seen a war, cared for a disabled patient, or served their country.
Daniel deserves better than to be unjustly terminated–by the country he risked his life to protect. Our veterans served by the Palo Alto VA deserve better, too.
Now, Daniel is one of thousands of federal employees unjustly terminated as a result of Trump’s unlawful dismantling of the federal workforce.
I’ll be there with a special guest: Daniel Sandecki, a veteran with 10 years of active-duty service who also –and most recently–served our community as a VA Palo Alto Health Care System employee.
Tomorrow, Donald J. Trump delivers his first Joint Session Address of this term, and he’ll look out to an audience full of people who’ve suffered from his illegal executive disorders. 🧵
Our community conversations continue on Sunday, March 9th, at Mountain View High School Gymnasium from 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM. Last Friday’s town hall filled the auditorium, so please RSVP for our next in-person town hall here:
As I shared with KGO-TV, Trump’s staged bullying of Zelenskyy covers for a cowardly appeasement of a Russian dictator. Our Greatest Generation taught us to stand up with our longstanding allies to protect Democracy under attack – Ike, JFK, and FDR are rolling in their graves today.
Thank you to the 400 neighbors who joined our town hall meeting. Your voices, ideas, and engagement strengthen our community.
We’ll gather again on March 9th — more details will be available in my newsletter.

Ramadan Mubarak to all of our Muslim community members. In a deeply discordant moment, I pray that this holy month brings a renewed sense of faith, hope, and peace.
History will not forgive us for appeasing Putin — not only for betraying the Ukrainian people and our strongest allies but for betraying our deepest-held values as Americans. (2/2)
