Today I joined @lofgren.house.gov and my California Congressional colleagues in denouncing President Donald Trump's attack remarks against Los Angeles and San Diego.

@repgaramendi.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 6:18 PM

We had a deal that kept Iran from a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up, and now we're in a war. This man is not well, and I'm outraged he'd even suggest that Los Angeles and San Diego being bombed by Iran is a “small price to pay”. This November, voters will end this chaos.

This man is not well. I'm outraged that Trump would say this about California. We are not collateral damage in Trump’s quagmire in Iran, and voters will show him that in November.

Why are billionaires getting huge tax cuts? Trump and Republicans. Their Big Ugly Bill gutted health care for 20 million Americans. Then Trump's tariffs and the Iran War drove up food, gas, and health care costs. Democrats will reverse it.

Because of President Trump, the average family in California has had to pay an additional $5,700+ more for goods and services.

All Republicans have to offer is more tariff taxes, more forever wars, and more handouts for billionaires.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE officer in Austin, then sent to detention with the bullet lodged in him.

I joined 100 Members of Congress demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and release the video.

65 years ago, JFK signed the Peace Corps Act into law. Patti and I answered his call, serving fresh out of college in Ethiopia. Our service changed our lives and inspired several of our kids to serve too. To mark this milestone, I introduced a bipartisan resolution.

I'm saddened by the news from Yosemite, where a helicopter carrying two wildfire crew members crashed this weekend. Please keep these hero's families and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. May everyone fighting to protect our national parks stay safe.

The Trump Administration is spending nearly $17 million to equip ICE agents with electric shock gloves. It is cruel, dangerous, and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.

I joined @ramirez.house.gov in demanding that DHS cancel this contract and ban the deployment of these devices in its operations.

I secured over $1 million in federal funding help repair and replace Mare Island’s deteriorating sewer lines. This is an important first step for economic growth in Mare Island, and I’ll keep working with local leaders to secure the resources needed to finish the job.

Shoutout to my talented interns for making this video!

Six months into the Iran War and Secretary Hegseth refuses to admit we are stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East. Yet, gas prices have skyrocketed, our munitions stockpiles are at an all time low, and the President has no plan to get America out of his illegal war of choice.

Vice Chair @repgaramendi.bsky.social knows the value of a good-paying union job and that real power comes from American workers standing together. Despite the Administration's continued attacks on crucial infrastructure & energy projects, we'll fight to protect & create good-paying union jobs.

“The ballroom is the President’s main priority,” says outgoing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Instead of spending taxpayer money on vanity projects, President Trump should focus on what actually matters to Americans: lowering grocery prices and ending the war with Iran.

61 years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, moving our nation closer to its promise of a government by and for the people. Today, the right to vote remains under attack. We honor the Voting Rights Act to ensure every American is heard.

I said what I said. We need to look at all options for removal immediately, including impeachment and invoking the 25th amendment.

Trump’s threat to wipe out a “whole civilization” is dangerous and despicable. Trump said he’d be a dictator on day one and in last 442 days, he’s governed like one. He is unfit to serve and it's time for his removal either by impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Read my full statement:
