NEWS: My bill to continue making wildfire settlements tax-free passed the Senate and is on its way to becoming law.
After a fire takes your home, the last thing families and communities should have to think about is a tax bill on the very settlement meant to help them rebuild.
Grateful to work with @RonWyden @SenLummis, @SenSheehyPress , @RepThompson to get this over the finish line.

Maybe it's a golden age for billionaires, but for everyone else, it's just higher prices.

Rep. Mike Thompson: "I've searched hard to find constituents in my district who believe this economy is golden…Electricity bills are up 8.5%. Is that golden?"
Bessent: *refuses to answer*
Thompson: "Health insurance costs are up 26% — that's not golden. Childcare costs are up 9% — that's not golden. Gas prices are up nearly 50% — that's not golden. Grocery prices are still straining family budgets — that's not golden."
Rep. Mike Thompson retweeted
THOMPSON: What should I tell my constituents when they ask about these costs? Farmers who are being hit by high costs of fuel and fertilizer, who can't get their product to market because of the War in Iran -- should I tell them it's 'golden'?
BESSENT: You should tell them we've had 2.6% economic growth since President Trump took office
THOMPSON: These farmers are pretty smart, Mr. Secretary, and they're not gonna fall for that line

Trump is looting $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to create a slush fund for "insurrectionists who beat the hell out of cops."

What the President is doing is an egregious attack on every single taxpayer.

If only Republicans fought as hard for you as they do to appease Donald Trump.

When politicians overrule doctors, people get hurt.
That's exactly what's happening right now.

This isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong.

A statement from me and my fellow House Democratic Veterans:
“Words matter in times of peace, but especially in times of war. We served our country and are no strangers to war. What Trump threatened this morning — that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ — cannot be ignored, rationalized, or dismissed. It is not ‘strategic posturing’ to threaten to annihilate an entire people. It threatens a war crime so grave that no person should condone it.
There is no strategic justification for threatening to destroy an entire civilization, and anyone who says otherwise is unfit for office. Any elected official cheering on this rhetoric, rationalizing it as tough talk, and failing to acknowledge the gravity of what the president is threatening is simply unfit.
We need to immediately return to DC and stop this illegal war. We took oaths to the Constitution and the American people, not a political party nor a leader. The time to do something is now, and we must act.”

The IRS leaked taxpayer data to ICE. ‘DOGE’ tried to hand over Social Security records to a group working to overturn elections. Trump's "CEO of the IRS" is doing nothing about it. @RepThompson and I won't stop demanding accountability and justice for these illegal data breaches!

BREAKING: Democratic Veterans swore an oath to defend our nation, both when they signed up to serve and when they were sworn into office. Now, they’re delivering on that Oath.
ONLY Congress has the constitutional power to declare war. That’s what we’re fighting for today.

The only administration where the law can be broken over 40,000 times and not one person is held accountable.
Trump's IRS CEO had no answers for @RepThompson:

Republicans' medical expert witness couldn't decide if cutting $1 trillion from health care hurts or helps.

We know there is a real cost to war, and it's those who wear the uniform who bear that cost. America has a sacred duty to care for our fellow veterans when they come home. Caring for veterans should never be an afterthought.
Rep. Mike Thompson retweeted
Trump is suing himself to get a $10 BILLION taxpayer-funded payout. @RepThompson and I filed a bill to block him from a scam settlement paid by YOU.
Whether it’s corporations screwing over customers or presidents scamming Americans, I'll keep fighting this culture of corruption!

.@RepThompson and I couldn’t be any clearer on where we stand: HELL NO on DHS funding.
The Senate must do the same!

We upgraded to a Coastal Flood Warning for the San Francisco Bay Friday - Saturday due to the combination of king tides and storm surge. Here's an interactive map to see if you could be impacted by 2.5 ft of inundation. coast.noaa.gov/slr/#/layer/s…
