I joined my colleagues in leading a bipartisan letter urging President Trump to fully enforce sanctions against Russia and cut off a major source of funding for Putin’s war against Ukraine.
As the war continues, the United States must increase pressure on Putin to take negotiations seriously and work toward a lasting peace.

Congress's approval is at an all-time low—and when you look under the hood, it’s easy to see why. Across America, families are making tough choices every day to balance their checkbooks and pay their bills on time. Meanwhile, in Congress, the rules seem to be different.
It doesn’t have to be this way. The Congressional Budget Reform Act of 2026 will hold Washington accountable. This is how we restore fiscal stability—and put working Americans back in control.

Americans deserve fiscal stability and responsible government, but the nation’s skyrocketing debt and ailing fiscal health are making life more expensive for families and threatening the prosperity of future generations.
It’s time to do something about it. 🧵
Congress hasn’t passed a budget on time since 1996. Today, shutdowns and last-minute packages are routine, and the debt is at $40T.
That's why we're introducing the Congressional Budget Reform Act to restore fiscal responsibility and add guardrails to our broken budget process.

Today, on National Coffee with a Cop Day, #TeamGonzalez joined Kleberg and Willacy County officers in Kingsville to strengthen important relationships and build even greater trust between local law enforcement and our communities!
Thank you to the dedicated officers who participated and met with our neighbors. Your continued service to South Texas keeps us all safe!

To cut electricity costs, we need to generate more domestic energy & build transmission lines to get it to homes & businesses. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 builds on my bill with @repwesterman to get shovels in the ground.
The Senate should pass it🧵

First in @PunchbowlNews midday: The House Democratic Blue Dog Coalition is endorsing the Senate’s bipartisan permitting bill. The group of 10 moderate Dems tells me "Congress must clear the logjam and move permitting reform forward, not punt the issue to a future Congress"
Americans’ electricity bills keep rising, while the additional energy production and transmission capacity needed to reduce costs languish in regulatory limbo. It's long past time for Congress to clear the logjam and advance permitting reform.

Reaching an agreement on permitting reform is an important and long-overdue first step toward fixing a broken process that has held back our ability to build things again in the Central Valley and across the country. Read my full statement.⬇️

Congrats to Bergen County's own Valley Health System and all eight NJ employers Forbes ranked among America's best for healthcare professionals. Our doctors, nurses, and health care workers are some of the world’s best. They deserve workplaces that take care of them too.

For years, Madera has been working to upgrade its sewer system and keep up with the needs of a growing community.
Now, $2 million in federal funding is on the way to help complete the final section of the Avenue 13 sewer main, from Granada Avenue to Highway 99.
Infrastructure projects like this help keep the Valley moving forward.

Important that USDA has approved my request for $4 million in funding to help address the glassy-winged sharpshooter issue. This funding will help the California Department of Food and Agriculture as they lead the response and conduct trace-forward activities.

Truckers are vital to an American economy that creates good jobs and builds durable economic agency for working families.
This Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we thank the truckers who keep their foot on the gas of our economy!
Today, we remember the thousands who lost their lives 25 years ago and those whose lives were forever altered in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
We honor the first responders who charged into danger and those who raised their right hand to defend our nation in its time of need.

Happy #LaborDay! Today, we honor the workers whose skill, dedication, and contributions keep our communities thriving. I will continue to work hard in Congress to support good-paying jobs, and fight for strong worker protections as well as an economy where hard work pays off.

Our national debt has officially surpassed $40 trillion — here are my thoughts:
Both parties talk a big game on fiscal responsibility — until they're the ones who have to govern. Reducing our national debt shouldn't be seen as a threat to one party's agenda, but a once-in-a-generation chance to work together for the good of all Americans.
It's worth remembering: the last time we actually balanced the budget, Republicans controlled Congress and a Democrat sat in the White House. Absent bipartisan legislation, it's only a matter of time before one of the two parties is left holding the bag.
$40 trillion. That’s the milestone the U.S. debt just crossed.
Allowing this problem to fester is driving up cost for working families across America.
It’s time for bipartisan leadership, responsible budgeting, and tough decisions to finally get our fiscal house in order.
Gross U.S. debt has surpassed $40 trillion, a new milestone in the country’s struggle to control its finances.

91 years ago today, FDR made a promise to Americans — that if you worked hard, you would be able to retire with dignity.
Now that promise is at risk of being broken. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the social security trust fund will be insolvent by 2032.
Congress must come together to renew FDR’s promise and keep social security around for another 91 years, and beyond.
