Credit card interest rates have surged to an average of 19% – the highest in decades. These obscene rates are predatory and should be illegal.
The U.S. needs a strong defense and strategic partnership with India especially in the face of escalating aggression from China. Two years into this administration, it’s time to confirm an ambassador to India to strengthen this critical relationship and our national security. QT @PostOpinions: A guest opinion from @ronakdd: The U.S. still doesn’t have an ambassador in this important capital. https://t.co/Cpu4udyjkm)
There is a clear economic choice: Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the wealthy while Democrats are working to put money back in the pockets of hardworking people.
Let’s be clear on the economic choice: Democrats stand for bringing supply chains and manufacturing back and putting money in the pockets of the working class. The Republicans want tax cuts for the rich which will lead to printing more money and fuel inflation. https://t.co/kOhuNo81hM

Join me on Wednesday, October 12th at 7pm ET for a discussion with @Rob_Weissman, President of @PublicCitizen, on tackling Big Oil’s decades of climate disinformation and my committee’s investigation. https://t.co/cDmA3NVK77
My condolences to the families of the victims of this horrific attack and our Bay Area community. We can’t allow for this senseless violence to continue. https://t.co/K9keHcGmqX
Today, I voted to pass four public safety bills that will support law enforcement's efforts to end the cycle of violence in communities across the US. In addition to this funding, we need to ensure accountability by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in the Senate.

Starting soon: I'm holding a hearing with @oversightdems on Big Oil’s greenwashing to cover up their role in the climate crisis. We’ll discuss explosive documents obtained by my committee. Watch it here at 9:30am ET: https://t.co/NEYQefKWq1
A deal was successfully negotiated and the Senate has the votes. Does it include everything I want? No. But it's a big step forward and I'm excited (and relieved) to finally see historic progress on climate.

I’m holding a hearing in @OversightDems today because I’m outraged that @FAA & @EPA have not acted with urgency to phase out leaded aviation fuel despite the harm it has caused, especially to low-wealth communities & communities of color. https://t.co/ivQjNh7zXF
But today, thanks to @SenSchumer, @POTUS & climate activists around the nation like @sunrisemvmt, we are on the cusp of unleashing hundreds of billions for a renewable moonshot.
Democrats are getting big things done. We will pass CHIPS and bring semiconductor manufacturing back. I have been criticized for continuing to engage @Sen_JoeManchin. https://t.co/K2MsGXEv3I
80% of Americans support a windfall tax on Big Oil's excess profits to refund consumers. Let's pass my bill with @SenWhithouse to provide relief to the American people. QT @Salon: Big Oil was quick to jack up gas prices at the pump but slow to drop them: report https://t.co/1ZBqugtC33)
Access to abortion care before the age of 20 has been shown to increase Americans' lifetime earnings by up to $15,000 per year. Codifying Roe v. Wade is a matter of economic justice.
We’re bringing semiconductor & solar manufacturing back. They are obstructing. We’re fighting for the working class. They are standing with corporate interests & letting china lead.
Like Harry Truman, we need Scranton Joe standing up to a “do nothing” Republican Senate and “do harm” Republican Supreme Court. https://t.co/RuKN3QzaAg
My office is now accepting applications for fall interns! This is a paid $15/hr internship in my DC & Santa Clara offices. Interns are critical to the work we do on behalf of CA-17. I look forward to welcoming next semester’s interns to our office. Apply: https://t.co/oCSYU7wpjo
Reign in the excesses of the airline industry and protect American travelers, Secretary Buttigieg. It's time.
The House just passed the Keeping Kids Fed Act to extend school meal waivers and prevent the millions of kids who rely on school meals from going hungry. This is a huge win for families and kids.
Candid & constructive meeting with China Ambassador @AmbQinGang. We discussed the importance of rebalancing trade & having China buy more things made in America. Trade imbalances increased tensions that led to the opium wars. Also discussed Uyghur human rights issues & Taiwan. https://t.co/hdzlHasEnG

Every worker deserves the opportunity to join a union and organize for a fairer workplace. Glad to see @Microsoft respecting that right and reaching an agreement with @CWA.

It was just devastating listening to the Rubio family talk about their daughter, Lexi, in yesterday's @OversightDems hearing and the hopes she had of getting a soccer scholarship and becoming a lawyer. No parent or child should experience the tragedy of gun violence. https://t.co/klBcI66FcQ
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids in the US and nearly 8,000 children and teens are shot every year. Today, I’ll vote to pass the Protecting Our Kids Act to keep our communities safe.
I’m grateful for their work to address hunger in Silicon Valley and I will continue working to secure $10 million in funding for this project in FY23.
I recently had the chance to visit @2ndharvest’s Expanded Food Bank facilities in Alviso that will help make their efforts to provide healthy meals to our community more efficient and cost-effective. https://t.co/UfZTMdaUV7

Happy Earth Day, Milpitas! Thank you to @mayor_richtran, the entire city council, and city staff for your leadership in improving and implementing the Milpitas Smart City Infrastructure Program! https://t.co/movPtuHFgf
The program includes new installations of solar panels and charging stations, efficient LED lighting, smart streetlights, and smart water meters throughout the city.
Thank you to the team at @SCC_HousingAuth and Vince Cantore, Vice President of Core Companies for hosting me today.
Honored to have been at the White House today for @POTUS’s signing of the Postal Service Reform Act. Proud of the work of our @OversightDems committee to pass this bill. Here’s how it will help USPS deliver the best service possible and get Americans their mail on time ⬇️
We’re hiring! Our office is seeking an Operations Manager in Washington, DC. Candidates should be team players, strong writers & exceptionally organized self-starters. Apply here by Monday April 11th at 12PM ET: https://t.co/xfRi2aw8ZU
The wealth of billionaires in Silicon Valley has increased 40% during the pandemic and the market cap of our area is $11 million. They can afford to pay at least 20% in taxes.

On International Sex Worker Rights Day, and in the wake of this eye-opening @GAO study outlining the barriers FOSTA/SESTA has created, @RepBarbaraLee, @SenWarren, @WydenPress & I introduced a bill to put the safety of sex workers first.

We need to end the checkpoint regime currently in place that restrict Palestinians' daily movement in the West Bank, while recognizing that there need to be checkpoints maintained at the borders as we work toward a two-state solution.

Returning to the Iran deal is our best path forward to rein in Iran’s nuclear program and secure a diplomatic solution. Congress should do everything to support @POTUS and @USEnvoyIran working to get this done.
Join me on Tuesday, January 25th at 6pm PT for a Facebook Live Town Hall with Santa Clara Public Health Director, Dr. Sara Cody. We'll discuss updates on the COVID-19 pandemic in CA-17 & my efforts in Congress to provide free N95 masks and testing. RSVP: https://t.co/suIW3K5L82
As we honor MLK’s legacy this weekend, we must take a stand against voter suppression and commit to using every tool possible to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
It quite literally is our problem. Our withdrawal left the Kurds open to Turkey's invasion + alone to fight ISIS. We also destabilized Syria in the first place, calling for Assad’s ouster and arming his opposition. We can’t break things then pretend they aren't our problem.
