Rep. George Whitesides
@georgewhitesides
I will always stand up for access to Social Security, health care, and SNAP, for everyone in my district who depends on these vital programs. I spoke with @bluesboysteve.bsky.social on the @practivistpod.bsky.social to talk about the real impacts of recent federal attacks against these services.

Yesterday, I led my colleagues in Congress to take a stand for science. The NASA, NOAA, NIH, and NSF all contribute to our safety and security, through their work to cure deadly diseases, protect us from natural disasters, and ensure we remain competitive on the global stage.
I’m back in D.C. ready to work with anyone to reverse the GOP’s extreme health care cuts and pass a budget that lowers costs for American families.
This week, the Department of Defense made the dangerous decision to stop transmitting hurricane forecast data, putting families across the country at risk just as we get into hurricane season.
My reaction to the news about the leaked Signal chats by senior members of the Trump Administration’s national security team:
It’s past midnight, and House Republicans have called us back to the Capitol to vote on their budget that rips health care, food assistance, educational opportunities, and more basic needs away from millions of Americans.
Over 240,000 of my constituents rely on Medicaid to access health care. I joined the CEO of Northeast Valley Health Corporation, Kim Wyard, to discuss how essential Medicaid is to her organization’s life-saving work.
Today, I signed a petition that would force a vote to protect Medicaid and SNAP. Hundreds of thousands of people in my district rely on these programs to meet their basic needs, including accessing health care and putting food on the table.
After the Rules Committee rejected my amendment to protect Medicaid, I proposed blocking cuts to Medicaid and SNAP on the House floor.
I stood against the budget bill on the House steps this morning because it would take health care and food assistance from tens of thousands of people right here in CA-27 — and raise costs for working families. This bill would hurt the very people I was elected to serve.
I just walked out of the Senate where I listened to @booker.senate.gov hold the floor and speak on behalf of the American people — I encourage everyone to tune in now!
Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process. The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It's the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.
Many of you will have seen this but for those of you who haven't, this is astonishing. It's what happens when people who comment on Facebook posts stand for election and actually win.
Sometimes inspiration hits quick and hard. Let’s just hope for my sake it doesn’t feed into my actual work/sleep schedule. #bootleg #producer #ableton

Talking to folks engaged in our democratic process is a highlight of my job. Especially seeing familiar faces from home!

Targeting Renee Good's widow with an investigation so obscene 6 prosecutors resigned. Breaking into the back yard of a college student who spoke out against her illegal deportation. The Trump administration tries to silence anyone who speaks out. We won't have it.
