Father, Grandfather, Californian. Congressman for California's 8th Congressional District. Senior member of the Armed Services and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees.
Excited and thankful to @governor.ca.gov for officially declaring March 1 through March 7, 2026, as “Peace Corps Week.”
This week we honor the nearly 250,000 Americans who have served in communities around the world, transforming millions of lives for the better.

BREAKING: Noem is finally out of the White House. Trump today announced that Noem will be replaced on March 31st.
Good riddance!

Catch me on @cnn.com discussing the upcoming Iran War Powers vote and why Congress needs to reassert its authority and hold President Trump accountable for his illegal war with Iran.

As we monitor the rapidly developing conflict in the Middle East, my office is here to help.

Trump is reportedly considering replacements for Noem. This is major news, as Trump rarely fires Cabinet members.
When even Trump is fed up with corruption and incompetence, you know it's bad.
Let’s make sure she sees this and that Trump kicks her out.
Janine and I join the Sacramento community in mourning the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert’s family and all of our troops in harm’s way.
Listen as my friend and colleague @raskin.house.gov exposes ICE Sec. Noem’s corruption:
$220M for media consultants
$172M for two luxury jets
$70M to lease a third
Noem is incompetent, corrupt, and should be impeached today!
The Trump administration is ignoring hard evidence, even from Fox News, that the Administration did not adequately prepare for a war with Iran.
I asked a simple question: Do our servicemembers have what they need to stay safe?
Still no real answer.
The Trump Administration has yet to explain to Congress or the public why we're going to war with Iran.
Trump is blatantly violating the Constitution, and lives are being lost.
Proud to introduce the bipartisan FERRIES Act with my colleagues in the Congressional Ferry Caucus like @repemilyrandall.bsky.social
Ferries are essential to our communities and this bill finally expands much needed federal grants, modernizes fleets, all while supporting American shipyard jobs.
The Trump Administration still hasn’t explained to Congress or the American people the exact threat Iran posed that justifies this conflict.
Why not share it?
The truth is that Trump has no plan and is continuing to risk the lives of our servicemembers.
Trump promised no new wars.
Now, four Americans have died, and he’s threatening the lives of more troops as he wages an illegal regime-change war.

U.S. Rep. John Garamendi says he’s protesting the Trump administration’s immigration tactics and 73-year-old Harjit Kaur's treatment by ICE.

Rep. John Garamendi didn’t mince words, basically accusing Trump of putting personal profit ahead of national security in a deal involving the UAE. As families struggle at home, critics say the contrast couldn’t be more stark: billion-dollar gains for him, high costs for everyone else.🤬

ICE has to be reformed. We can’t have a Gestapo-like police force in America.
Police forces across America operate without masks, yet Trump believes his agents are above accountability.
That’s what we’re fighting for.
New bombshell whistleblower report details the FBI’s response to the Brown University mass shooting was delayed due to Patel's personal jet use.
These are unserious people with very serious jobs. Director Patel, please resign today.
Tonight, I’m leaving my guest seat empty for Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old grandmother detained and deported to India after living in this country for over 30 years.
May her empty seat be a stark symbol for every person detained or killed at the hands of Donald Trump’s ICE.
Tonight at the State of the Union, Trump should explain how he plans to return the $1,960 he’s illegally taxed every Solano and Contra Costa family over the past year through his unlawful tariffs.
Families deserve their money back.
BREAKING: 59% of voters disapprove of Trump's economy ahead of the State of the Union.
Tonight, I expect to hear Trump's go-to lie that prices are down and the economy is up.
That couldn't be further from the truth, and the American people know it.
@repgaramendi.bsky.social laid it out plain: “The sheikh wanted chips; Trump wanted money. Trump got money, and the sheikh got the chips.”
Don’t forget he’ll brag about how great the State of the Union is after pocketing a billion dollars by selling out America’s security to the UAE.
#BlueCrew
Tonight, I'm dedicating my State of the Union seat to 73-year-old grandmother Harjit Kaur, deported to India in the dead of night.
This empty chair honors her and all those detained, deported, and killed by Donald Trump’s secret police enforcing his cruel deportation agenda.
This is a major WIN for Americans.
Trump thinks that he is above Congress and the Constitution, which was tested today.
Americans have been struggling to put food on the table, and keeping up with unlivable prices caused by Trump’s tariff wars.

@jahimes.bsky.social oppose U.S. use of military force against Iran, urge President Trump to continue engaging with Tehran diplomatically.
@repgaramendi.bsky.social and I invited @repjimcosta.bsky.social to hear directly from the farmers, ranchers, and growers in our community about how this administration’s tariff and trade policies are impacting their livelihoods.

Today, we pay tribute to the 125,284 Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II.
The government justified infringing fundamental constitutional rights by citing national security concerns.
Let's ask ourselves whether this sounds familiar as we reflect on today.
Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @AdamSmith
joined @transportdems.bsky.social Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social and @homelandgov.bsky.social Ranking Member @benniegthompson.bsky.social are demanding a classified briefing on the shutdown of public airspace in El Paso last week.
Since October, 400 federal judges across the U.S. have ruled more than 4,420 times that Donald Trump’s government wrongfully detained immigrants.
That’s 4,420 times that Trump's ICE has destroyed families and torn apart communities.
We need to get these thugs off our streets.
Today, we lost a titan. Jesse Jackson was a towering force in the Civil Rights Movement and in American history.
He inspired millions to believe that change is possible and that justice is worth fighting for.
We honor his life by carrying forward his call to keep hope alive.
