The CA High-Speed Rail price tag has ballooned 700% to $231 billion.
We still have 0 trains & 0 tracks. So where’s the money going?
To consultants for luxury travel, cigar bars, & tiki bars!
The pattern of mismanagement continues. This project needs to end.

239 years ago today, our Founding Fathers signed the United States Constitution, the foundation of the greatest country in human history.
Happy Constitution Day. 🇺🇸
Proud to work with @RepVinceFong to pass our legislation ending two California hidden taxes on America.
CA already has the highest gas prices in the nation. The last thing families need is more unworkable mandates driving costs even higher.
From the Assembly Floor to the House Floor — we won't stop fighting for Californians. 🇺🇸

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, we are investing $50 billion to improve health care in rural communities, with California receiving over $230 million through the Rural Health Transformation Program.
Proud to work with @DrOzCMS on this generational investment into communities like ours.
Your ZIP code shouldn't determine the care you receive. 🇺🇸

California’s ports move goods that families and businesses across the country depend on.
Sacramento shouldn’t be allowed to drive up the cost of moving those goods with another costly emissions mandate.
I was proud to co-lead this effort with @RepVinceFong and help get it passed through the House.

🚨 House Republicans just voted to END costly requirements the Left forced on American businesses in the name of their radical climate agenda.
Rolling back these unnecessary mandates means lower costs for American families, stronger supply chains, and a stronger maritime industry.

My bill to END California’s hidden climate tax on all 50 states passed the House last night!
Our ports move 40% of the nation’s imports. When CA institutes costly mandates, it raises prices across the country.
Unelected CA bureaucracies have no right to raise costs on American families without a vote of Congress.
I look forward to getting this to @POTUS desk!

California has already spent billions on High-Speed Rail. We're decades past deadline and have zero trains and zero tracks.
So where has the money been going?
To luxury travel, tiki bars, cigar bars, and nightclubs!
Absolutely absurd that this is how California is spending your tax dollars. Yet another reason to shut this project down immediately.

🚨 House Republicans just voted to END California’s climate tax that put America's shipping industry at a disadvantage and made everyday goods more expensive.

🚨My legislation to STOP California’s hidden tax raising costs on Americans just passed the House!🚨
I spoke on the importance of this legislation today.
California is harming all Americans by unilaterally imposing mandates that raise costs on families across the country.
This is about common sense and affordability. I’m thrilled to see it pass the House and move one step closer to becoming law.

Gavin Newsom and California have a hidden climate tax that's raising costs on Americans in all 50 states.
Today, the House will vote on my legislation to stop it.
This is about affordability, energy security, and common sense.

California Has the Nation’s Highest Gas Prices—And You Can’t Only Blame Trump
California families pay nearly $1.70 more per gallon for gas than the national average. Regular gas averaged $5.88 in California last week vs. $4.22 nationwide. Gov. Gavin Newsom blames the Trump administration’s conflict with Iran, but Californians continue to face far higher prices than most Americans.
Here’s why:

Gavin Newsom has created an energy crisis in California. It's why we pay $1.70 more than the national average.
“The resources are here. The workers are here. The only thing standing in the way is Gavin Newsom.”

Twenty-five years have passed. But for many of us, that September morning still feels like yesterday.
Honored to join hundreds of local residents at Fire Station 15, standing before a 6½-ton steel beam from the World Trade Center, to honor the 2,977 lives lost and the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation.
Throughout our community, we remember the heroism and courage of our fellow Americans.

Today, throughout our community and across America, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent Americans lost in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the men and women who answered the call to defend our nation.
This morning, I joined our community to gather before a steel beam from the World Trade Center, standing as a lasting reminder of that day—a witness to tragedy, sacrifice, and courage.
“Never Forget” is not just a phrase. It is a promise.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of September 11th, I had the privilege of speaking with Frontier High School students about that day and how it forever changed America.
These students were not yet born when the towers fell. But they are growing up in the world 9/11 shaped and understand the courage and sacrifice that defined that moment, and the patriotism that followed.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
