We won. Federal funding for the CA High-Speed Rail catastrophe has officially been terminated.

It's been 5 years since the State Auditor found California allowed $32 billion in unemployment fraud after ignoring "repeated warnings." Yet the Auditor just found that billions in EDD fraud continues to this day. This is the biggest fraud scandal in US history.

U-Haul just released its annual "Growth Index" for all 50 states. For the 6th straight year, California is ranked 50th. We have the highest rate of people moving out versus moving in. The most beautiful state in the country has become the most popular state to leave.

Today Gavin Newsom delivered a State of the State Address declaring that "California leads the nation." For once, the Governor is correct. California leads the nation in fraud. California leads the nation in unemployment. California leads the nation in homelessness.

The House Judiciary Committee has released the report I requested on the LA FireAid concert. Among the findings: -FireAid funds were used for activities such as voter participation initiatives, podcast programming, fungus-planting projects, and compensation for nonprofit

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague, Doug LaMalfa. For more than a decade, Doug made a lasting impact on California’s First Congressional District and served as a dedicated champion for the West as Chairman of the Western Caucus. He was a strong advocate for

The United States, Venezuela, and the entire Western Hemisphere and international order are immeasurably better off with Nicolás Maduro removed from power. Today marks the end of Maduro’s illegitimate rule and narco terrorist reign, and the beginning of a legal process for

A third of community college applicants were fake. $17 billion was spent on High-Speed Rail with no track. $24 billion in homelessness funds disappeared. $32 billion was lost to unemployment fraud. Medi-Cal and SNAP are rife with improper payments. This is Newsom's California.

Another example of staggering fraud in California: Fully one-third of community college applications are fake. They're just used for financial aid fraud.

Turns out I wasn't "lying" after all. Newsom just conceded defeat, withdrawing the lawsuit he filed after we cut off his High-Speed Rail funding earlier this year.

A new nonpartisan audit confirms California is the Fraud Capital of America, costing taxpayers billions every year. In one example, the Air Resources Board kept paying an employee a $171,446 annual salary – 15 months after the employee left the agency.

California is getting safer because we beat Governor Newsom. He repeatedly tried to sabotage Prop. 36, our initiative to make crime illegal again. But the people of California passed it overwhelmingly and now thieves are actually being prosecuted.

A scathing report from the California State Auditor identifies 8 separate state agencies as “high-risk.” This means they exhibit serious “waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement," costing taxpayers billions. The number has doubled during Newsom's tenure. Our government is broken.

Newsom claimed California exemplifies "responsive, efficient, and accountable government." $128 billion for a phantom bullet train $24 billion in homeless spending "lost" $32 billion squandered in EDD fraud $650 million on a canceled 911 system A true model of efficiency.

A new low in California's war on women's sports. The state is forcing Truckee Tahoe Unified to compete in California instead of Nevada, despite this being impractical and unsafe for student-athletes. The reason: Nevada does not allow biological males in female sports. For 40

Californians pay the most for gas, electricity, water, and housing – and our state ranks first in poverty. The way to improve affordability in America is to do the opposite of everything Gavin Newsom has done in California.

UC San Diego is sounding the alarm that incoming students can't do basic math. They've had to add remedial courses covering elementary and junior high level skills. California has increased education spending nearly $40 billion during Newsom's tenure. And this is the result.

Californians have been charged extra fees on their phone service the last six years to fund a "Next Generation 911 System." Yet after spending $450 million, Newsom just scrapped the whole project because the technology doesn't work. Our government is broken.

The data on self-driving cars, including Waymo and to some extent Tesla, shows they are already overwhelmingly safer than human-operated vehicles. With 40,000 people dying on our roads every year, we can save tens of thousands of lives by expanding access to this technology.

I am introducing legislation to end gerrymandering in the United States for good.
