Rep. Linda Sánchez

As Nat’l Bullying Prevention Month ends, I’m proud of the progress we’ve made w/ the Safe Schools Improvement Act, my bill w/ @repmarktakano.bsky.social to make sure every student feels safe. 🌈
Thanks to @glsen.bsky.social’s advocacy for LGBTQ+ students, we’re a step closer to safer schools for all.

Trump just sold us out to China. His "deal":

YouTube video by Rep. Linda Sánchez Millions Could Lose Food Assistance: What’s Happening with SNAP During the Shutdown

In the richest country in the world, no one should go hungry.

But Trump is refusing to use the SNAP contingency reserves during the government shutdown, leaving millions without food assistance starting November 1.

Here is what that means for you.

Republicans’ refusal to pass a budget that works for the American people puts 42 million Americans’ SNAP benefits at risk. Families shouldn’t go hungry because of the mess Republicans created.

Trump terminates Canada trade talks again after Ontario runs ad featuring Reagan Trump's announcement came after the Canadian province began running a TV ad that features a speech by Ronald Reagan.

An ad quoting Republican President Reagan shouldn’t derail US-Canada trade. But with President Trump, ego comes before everything else.

His reckless decisions are putting American jobs at risk — again.

@neal.house.gov and I are calling out Trump’s latest “trade deal” with China.

It’s weak, it’s hollow, and it sells out American workers, farmers, and national security for empty promises.

US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America in major escalation of military firepower The U.S. military is sending an aircraft carrier to the waters off South America in the latest escalation of military firepower to a region.

Trump’s illegal strikes are a reckless show of force that endangers neighbors and ignores Congress. This is not how our military should be used.

New Trump tariffs pose another hurdle for the housing market Tariffs on furniture and lumber could intensify the US housing market's woes and push up prices.

Rising housing and furniture costs aren’t a coincidence — they’re the result of Trump’s tariffs. Families shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of his bad policies.

Stop canceling work and prove it then

Trump’s Argentina bailout is screwing over U.S. farmers while possibly lining the pockets of his friends, like Robert Citrone. @sewell.house.gov & I led 54 Democrats calling on Treasury for answers.

Americans deserve a government that works for them.

Trump's Argentina beef import plan will harm U.S. ranchers, industry warns Depleted U.S. cattle herd counts and strong consumer demand for beef have helped drive supermarket beef prices to new highs this year.

Our ranchers work hard to feed America. Instead of helping them, Trump is handing billions to Argentina & buying Argentine beef, at a time when beef prices in the U.S. are at record highs.

American families & farmers shouldn’t pay for Trump's bailout of Argentina.

I, alongside @sewell.house.gov, led 54 Democrats demanding answers on Trump’s $20B bailout of Argentina.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t prop up a foreign ally or enrich political friends while American farmers struggle and families can’t afford health care.

Wishing a joyful Diwali to everyone celebrating in Southern California! May your celebrations be filled with light, love, and prosperity.

This shutdown is directly affecting healthcare. Without extending health care tax credits: 40,450 people in the 38th District — and 1 in 6 Californians — will see their premiums double.

Find resources and info on support during the shutdown here.

We’re now in week three of this government shutdown, all because Republicans refuse to work with Democrats. Remember, they control the House, Senate, and White House — they could end this anytime.

My office has put together a guide on what’s affected and resources to help.

IKEA’s Yearslong Price-Cutting Bonanza Is Coming to an End The world’s largest furniture retailer is raising prices on some products, and working to source more goods in the U.S.

If even IKEA can’t keep prices down, you know these tariffs are a problem.

Families shouldn’t have to pay more for furniture because of Trump’s reckless trade policies.

63% of Americans say the best way to reduce the debt is to tax the rich.

Not by cutting Medicare.
Not by gutting Medicaid.

Making billionaires pay their fair share — that’s how we build an economy that works for everyone.

Argentine Assets Swing on Reports Bessent Lining Up More Aid Argentina’s sovereign bonds briefly spiked Wednesday after media outlets reported that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing aid totaling $40 billion for Javier Milei’s government, double t...

Our government is shut down bc Republicans refuse to deliver health care for Americans.

Meanwhile, a year of ACA tax credits for working families costs a fraction of Trump's $40B bailout of Argentina.

Aid for Argentina over Americans' health? How is that ‘America First’?

L.A. County Declares State of Emergency Over Immigration Raids

L.A. County’s state of emergency shows what’s at stake.

Our communities are terrified, families are being torn apart — all because of the Trump administration’s inhumane immigration raids. We must stand with our neighbors.

This is a result of the Republican Shutdown. Our own military at food banks because Republicans are too stubborn to pass a budget that works for the American people.

I'm hosting a live telephone town hall on Wed, Oct 15 at 7 PM to discuss the federal government shutdown and how it's affecting you.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we not only celebrate Indigenous cultures and resilience — we recommit to honoring our promises to tribal nations. I’ll keep fighting for policies that uphold sovereignty, protect sacred lands, and ensure Indigenous voices are always heard.

Republicans cut $137 billion from rural health care. Now, they want credit for “fixing” the problem they created because they put a $50 billion Band-Aid on it.

They’re the arsonist and the firefighter.

Latinas work hard, contribute immensely, and yet still face a wage gap of 54¢ to every $1 a white man makes. On #LatinaEqualPayDay, I stand firm in the fight in advancing policies for equal pay.

Ignoring the ongoing shutdown by claiming the work is finished is an insult to Americans who rely on government services.
 
House Republicans need to end their vacation, return to Washington and do their job.

Day 7 of the shutdown, and Republicans are still blaming Democrats.

Let's be clear: this shutdown is about protecting healthcare for Americans while Republicans are fighting to give handouts to their billionaire buddies.

The Trump administration is weaponizing the shutdown to steal Americans’ health care and deny federal workers their pay — Americans see through it.
