Republicans are trying to hand Trump and Hegseth a $150 billion slush fund with no plan.
"Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch. That's what's happening here."

- TRUMP: "Once we're done with Iran, we'll stop over in Cuba." Mr. President, we're tired of endless illegal wars and billions of taxpayer dollars being spent on foreign conflicts while Americans struggle to afford their basic needs. Stop the wars. Don't attack Cuba.
00:00 - Last year, I called Republicans’ budget bill the largest transfer of wealth from working Americans in U.S. history. This year, they’re doubling down and passed more money for ICE, a taxpayer-funded bailout for Jan. 6 rioters, cuts to Medicaid and food assistance, and higher
- Not a single dollar of the Republicans' budget reconciliation will be used to help lower Americans' cost of living. The money in it will go to ICE and January 6th rioters. While Republicans are wasting your money, I'm fighting to make your lives safer, healthier, and more
- Trump just wants to rig elections for himself. California elections take so long because of our size. LA County alone is bigger than 41 states. With Democratic, Republican, and Independent vote checkers, CA elections are among the safest in the U.S.
00:00 - Last week, a handful of Republicans helped pass a bill to end Trump's Iran War. But the chances of it passing the Senate are slim to none because of Trump's threats against Republicans who vote against him. It's time for Trump to stop his threats and stop his war in Iran.

"The number of voters in LA County is larger than the voters in 41 states. It takes time, and it's a very rigorous, careful process." - Rep. John Garamendi on Trump's false claims that the California election is rigged.

Thank YOU to one of our greatest friends, @RepGaramendi , for his words on the Jones Act anniversary! - If only President Trump had come to us with a reason for waging his illegal war with Iran. But he didn't. We were never told. Now we're stuck in a quagmire, gas prices are up, and Trump can't get us out of it. I'm proud to support @RepPatRyanNY's effort to end the war in Iran.
00:00 - I introduced an amendment requiring a report on Trump's National Guard deployments for his mass deportation agenda. The CBO reported that these deployments cost Americans $589 million. House Republicans blocked it. Apparently, they don't want to know how much it costs.
00:00 - Trump just appointed a J6 rioter to the top counter terrorism office in the DoD. A 19-year-old who broke into the Capitol has no business working counter terrorism in the military. This shouldn't even be a debate. He needs to go.
- My team and I are aware of the shooting at Sem Yeto High School's graduation ceremony. What should have been a day of celebration has ended in tragedy. I'm praying for the students, teachers, families, and the entire Fairfield community. My full statement:
- The days of Republicans being the party of fiscal responsibility are over. They're spending $1.5 trillion on the military while cutting school funding and healthcare. Democrats want to give our military what it needs and take care of Americans. Time to step up, Republicans.
