While it’s still unclear if Republicans will be able to muster the votes to avoid a government shutdown, I want you to have answers about what it would mean for you. Visit my website for more information.

Purim Sameach – Happy Purim! I hope this holiday is blessed for all who celebrate.
Raul Grijalva was a steadfast champion for environmental justice and protecting our nation’s treasured natural resources — always building stronger communities in the process. May his memory be a blessing.
March is Women’s History Month. As we celebrate women's achievements, strength, and resilience, let’s also reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender equality.
To avoid a shutdown, the GOP should return to Washington to pass a 4-week stopgap and sit down at the negotiating table. Let’s get it done.
Although the GOP majority controls both houses of Congress, they still lack the votes to pass their budget resolution this week - a budget that would have pushed 32,000 families into the street and cut veterans' health care because they never negotiated with Democrats.
I didn’t come to Congress to withhold veterans' benefits, worsen our homelessness crisis, and participate in the Republicans’ scheme to abdicate Constitutional budgetary authority to a President who has demonstrated unprecedented recklessness with the lives and livelihoods of the American people.
If the last 6 weeks have taught us anything, it’s that this President needs less power, not more. Donald Trump and Elon Musk won’t abide by Congress’s funding bills, so why would we give them a blank check? So, I’m voting NO on the spending stopgap.
I am grateful to each of you who is willing to roll up your sleeves with us for the battles ahead.
Thank you to the 700 neighbors who joined our town hall. Amid the chaos of this administration, I recall the words of another president: the most important word in the lexicon of any participant in democracy is “we.”
Thank you to Mahmut Altun and Nurdin Kaparov of the Pacifica Institute and Pastor Dave Samuelson for bringing Christian and Muslim communities together for an Iftar dinner and conversation Sunday evening. Ramadan Mubarak!
In the wake of reports from Reuters anticipating another “Muslim travel ban” in the coming days, I’m grateful that Saratoga Mayor Belal Aftab invited me and other local leaders to join an Iftar dinner with more than 300 Muslim community members. #ResilienceThroughCommunity
Yesterday, I shared one of my favorite books, The Giving Tree, with the brilliant third graders of Meadows Elementary. Reading to our kids sparks imagination and inspires them to pick up the habit—laying the foundation for their lifelong learning and success. #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek
Academic freedom and independence still live. Thank you, Georgetown University, for teaching our Justice Department about the 1st Amendment!
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.
