Earthquakes and wildfires don’t wait for us to prepare. Fortunately, one of the most important steps costs very little: storing water.

This breaks down exactly how much you need, the best places to put it, and how to keep it safe for years.  👉https://t.co/oCo6qlVQSr

Your invested savings should stay yours, but states can too easily seize your assets to shore up their budgets. Thanks to @ICI for inviting @RepMikeLawler and me to discuss our SAFER Act, which would stop government-sponsored cash grabs that hurt too many Americans.

[ICI @ICI]

Thank you to Representatives @RepLiccardo and @RepMikeLawler for joining ICI to discuss the SAFER Act and how it would safeguard Americans' investments from premature seizure and liquidation.

I regret to announce that plans for the Sam Liccardo Federal Building have hit a legislative snag: me.

I cosponsored the Federal Naming Standards Act to keep politicians from putting their own names on federal buildings and programs because public institutions belong to the public, not elected officials. 

No, we shouldn’t actually need a law for this, but here we are….

Politicization of executive authority = creeping authoritarianism.

Are you a college student or recent graduate interested in public service? Applications for Fall internships in our Washington, D.C., and California offices close on Friday, July 31st.

States shouldn’t pad their budgets by taking assets from Americans who expect to keep them. https://t.co/V0gt5uYHK3 can help you find your money.

Thousands of Afghans risked their lives alongside our troops, fighting for freedom from a brutal regime. Abandoning our promise to protect them does not merely stain the Trump administration, but it betrays the honor of every American. We regain that honor by supporting those who fight tyranny, by keeping our word, and by reclaiming our American identity as a radiant beacon of liberty to a dark world.

[Rep. Sam Liccardo @RepLiccardo]

Handing Trump and Hegseth another $1.15 trillion for the bloated and rudderless Defense Department appears about as prudent as giving a bottle of scotch and the car keys to your 17-year-old.

Prolonging this senseless, directionless war will serve only to further imperil our young soldiers, drain Americans’ wallets, and provide Donald Trump with 37 more opportunities to declare a ceasefire mirage in his endless pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Let's ban public officials from profiting off of their service -- for real this time.

For 46 years, Larry Stone has served Santa Clara County with distinction. I’m grateful to Larry for his leadership, his mentorship, and friendship.

Please join me in wishing Larry and Carmen a blissful (and boo-free!) retirement

The Bay Area leads the world in innovation, and smart investments in quantum research can keep us there. Thanks to Dr. Claire Cramer and her UC Berkeley team– and to @TimGraysonCA – for stopping by to discuss how federal partnerships can help California drive the next technological breakthrough.

Good on @AGRobBonta and his fellow attorneys general for demanding the rigorous scrutiny this merger deserves. Congress should step up and match that urgency.

The new @SJAACSA mural honoring the legacy of Inez Jackson looms magnificently on North 6th near Julian St. Ms. Jackson organized and championed civil rights, mentored student leaders like Dr. Harry Edwards, led local YWCA and NAACP chapters, and co-founded the African American Community Service Agency. Thank you, Ms. Shirley, for sharing your experiences working with the legendary Inez Jackson!

Disability Pride Month reminds us that our communities grow stronger when everyone can participate fully. This month and every month, we’re grateful for Parents Helping Parents and their tireless work building a more inclusive Bay Area for all.

The @RedCross declared a national emergency blood shortage after supplies fell nearly 25% in June.

Earlier this month, I donated blood at the Stanford Blood Center. The process took less than an hour, and the staff made it easy. If you've thought about donating, summer offers a great opportunity. Every donation can help save a life.

Last week, I called for independent investigations into ICE shootings. This week, I joined nearly 200 of my House colleagues to formally demand it.

No one is above the law, and no agency should investigate itself after a fatal shooting. Congress and the public deserve the facts, and witnesses must testify without threat of deportation.

[Rep. Sam Liccardo @RepLiccardo]

I'm proud of the work we've done to pass these bipartisan housing bills, but more work lies to tackle the housing crisis confronting far too many American families.

Today marks 6 years since we lost Congressman John Lewis.

Now more than ever, we need to make good trouble. As an original cosponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, I’ll keep fighting to protect every American’s freedom to vote and carry his legacy forward.
