Reps. Garamendi, Simon and Garcia Call for Strong Federal Investments in Public Transportation 05/13/2026

I joined Congresswoman Lateefah Simon and Congressman Chuy García to lead 30+ members calling for robust public transit investments in the upcoming transportation budget bill.
Public transit connects people to jobs, health care, and family while reducing congestion. Congress must protect these vital investments.

This week, we honor the brave men and women who wear the law enforcement uniform.

From the moment a 911 call comes in, police officers are called to the scene to protect and serve our communities.

Today, I voted to honor the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act threatens not only Black voters, but the very foundation of democracy itself.

When courts roll back protections against racial discrimination in voting, they create opportunities for discriminatory maps, voter suppression, and the silencing of entire communities.

As the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once warned: “Throwing out [voting rights] when it has worked and is continuing to work is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Trump said the quiet part out loud when asked how he’s balancing the Iran war with rising gas prices:

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

At least he’s finally being honest.

Gas prices are soaring. Inflation just hit its highest level since 2023. Grocery costs continue to climb.

And instead of focusing on the economic pain Americans are feeling every day, the President seems more interested in acting like a wannabe dictator.

Justice Dept. Officials Consider Settling Trump Suit Against I.R.S. 05/13/2026

Trump is directing his own DOJ to settle his case with the FBI for the tune of $10 billion.

Are you not sick of the corruption yet?

Justice Dept. Officials Consider Settling Trump Suit Against I.R.S. One of the settlement terms under review is for the I.R.S. to drop any audits of the president, his family members and businesses.

Thank you, Donald! Look at what your failed tariffs are doing to Americans.

We’re now stuck with Trump’s tariffs, which companies are using as an excuse to keep the cost of goods sky-high.

All while working families continue to foot the bill.

On Tuesday, Tony joined other legislative offices alongside Congressman John Garamendi at the press conference for the ADAPT Assets Act, an important investment in protecting critical transportation infrastructure from climate impacts.

I’m proud to support this legislation and efforts that help communities better prepare for the realities of climate change while strengthening regional resilience.

The legislation would help accelerate large-scale infrastructure resilience projects, including efforts tied to Highway 37 and shoreline flood protection in the North Bay.

May this beautiful day be filled with love, joy, and special moments with your family.
