Rep. Garamendi Joins Rep. Friedman, 32 CA Reps in Supporting AG Bonta’s Review of Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger
Position: The representatives express concern that the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger could harm California workers and consumers through industry consolidation, and urge the California Attorney General to conduct a thorough independent review of the deal.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman John Garamendi (CA-08) joined Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30) and 32 California U.S. Representatives in expressing support for California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s review of the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance. The California lawmakers thanked the Attorney General for his commitment to conduct a “full and robust review” of the deal, expressed concern that the merger could harm California workers and consumers, and urged him to closely analyze its potential effects.
“We remain concerned that the proposed merger could harm California workers and consumers,” wrote the 34 California Members of Congress to Attorney General Bonta. “Importantly, the proposed merger does not occur in a vacuum. Decades of consolidation in this industry have already resulted in reduced output, higher prices, fewer choices, and less innovation, while merged studios face few consequences for breaking their pre-merger promises.”
The letter also highlighted the unprecedented politicization of antitrust enforcement by the Trump Administration: “Given that we cannot have confidence that the Trump Administration review of the merger will be conducted according to the law, and with the best interests of American workers and consumers in mind, it is even more vital that you conduct a thorough, independent review,” the 34 lawmakers wrote.
CALIFORNIA’S ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY CRISIS:
In just the past year, on-location production in the greater Los Angeles area declined 13.2%, for the July through September 2025 period.
More than 42,000 jobs in Los Angeles County’s motion picture industry were lost from 2022 to 2024.
Paramount is projecting $6 billion in expense cuts over three years if the merger proceeds, with analysts predicting significant job losses.
Decades of entertainment industry consolidation have already reduced output, raised prices, limited consumer choices, and stifled innovation—while merged studios face few consequences for breaking pre-merger promises.

The Honorable Rob Bonta
Office of the Attorney General
California Department of Justice
1300 I Street
Sacramento, CA 95814-2919
Dear Attorney General Bonta:
We write to thank you for your commitment to conduct a “full and robust review” of the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance. We remain concerned that the proposed merger could harm California workers and consumers. We therefore respectfully urge you to closely analyze the potential effects of this merger and, if you determine that this merger would have anticompetitive effects, use your best judgement to pursue the appropriate course of action.
California’s film industry has already endured enormous disruption as production has increasingly left the state. On-location production in the greater Los Angeles area declined 13.2% from July through September 2025 compared to the same period last year. This reduction builds on the loss of more than 42,000 jobs in Los Angeles County’s motion picture industry from 2022-2024. It has had a devastating effect on the workers and their families who form the backbone of Hollywood’s creative economy. Simultaneously, we’ve continued to watch as these jobs, and many companies, have left the United States altogether for foreign venues abroad.
Paramount is projecting to cut $6 billion in expenses over three years should this merger proceed. Analysts predict that many of these savings will be accomplished through significant job loss.
Importantly, the proposed merger does not occur in a vacuum. Decades of consolidation in this industry have already resulted in reduced output, higher prices, fewer choices, and less innovation, while merged studios face few consequences for breaking their pre-merger promises.
It is also impossible to overlook the unprecedented politicization of antitrust enforcement by the Trump Administration. Given that we cannot have confidence that the Trump Administration review of the merger will be conducted according to the law, and with the best interests of American workers and consumers in mind, it is even more vital that you conduct a thorough, independent review. California has a long history of fighting for the rights of workers and consumers. We applaud you for carrying that mantle forward and urge you to closely scrutinize this merger. We support your investigative efforts and thank you for your leadership at this critical moment.

Rep. Garamendi, Castro, and 29 Colleagues Demand End to Ambiguity in Israel’s Nuclear Capabilities
Position: The lawmakers demand that the U.S. Department of State require Israel to disclose its nuclear capabilities with the same transparency standards applied to other countries, arguing that Congress needs full information about the nuclear balance in the Middle East to fulfill its constitutional oversight responsibilities and develop coherent nonproliferation policy.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Yesterday, Congressman John Garamendi (CA-08), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, joined Rep. Joaquin Castro and 29 House Democrats in demanding the U.S. Department of State hold Israel to the same standard as other countries and provide transparency on Israels’ nuclear capabilities, ending decades-long ambiguity. This request, amid the ongoing Iran War, would fulfill Congress’ constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about the nuclear balance in the Middle East and pave the way for coherent nonproliferation policy.
The lawmakers raised questions about the ambiguous U.S. policy regarding Israel’s nuclear capabilities while engaging in war alongside Israel against Iran, writing, “We are in the fullest sense, fighting this war side by side with a country whose potential nuclear weapons program the United States government officially refuses to acknowledge. American service members continue to be deployed throughout the region. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about the nuclear balance in the Middle East, the risk of escalation by any party to this conflict, and the administration's planning and contingencies for such scenarios. We do not believe we have received that information.”
The lawmakers concluded by demanding the U.S. apply its nonproliferation standards equally, writing, “We cannot develop coherent nonproliferation policy for the Middle East, including with respect to Iran's civil nuclear program and Saudi Arabia's civil nuclear ambitions, while maintaining a policy of official silence about the nuclear weapons capabilities of one party central to the ongoing conflict in which the United States is a direct participant. We ask that you hold Israel to the same standard of transparency that the United States expects from any other country that may be pursuing or retaining nuclear weapons capability.”
Members who signed the letter include: Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Greg Casar (D-TX), Mark Pocan (D-WI), James P. McGovern (D-MA), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Jesús G. “Chuy” García (D-IL), Al Green (D-TX), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Donald S.

Reps. Garamendi and Thompson Introduce Bill Protecting Critical Infrastructure, Joined by MTC
Position: The representatives introduce legislation to accelerate federal funding and streamline permitting for infrastructure projects that protect against natural disasters and sea level rise, with emphasis on flood protection for Highway 37 in California.
VALLEJO, CA – Today, Congressman John Garamendi (CA-08) and Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-04) announced the introduction of the ADAPT Assets Act (H.R.8653). The bill accelerates projects that protect vital infrastructure from natural disasters across the country, such as the much-needed flood protection on Highway 37. To mark the introduction of this bill, Congressman Garamendi held a press conference with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, California Alliance for Jobs, and other local elected officials on Highway 37.
“Natural disasters and sea level rise put critical infrastructure at risk every day and will only intensify over time. We cannot allow the cost and complexity of repairing and safeguarding our roads, bridges, and pathways to cause further delays or deterioration.” said Congressman Garamendi. “The Bay Area is on the front lines of natural degradation due to flood and fire risk. Protecting the Bay Area shoreline from flooding through 2050 is projected to cost $100 billion. The ADAPT Assets Act is designed to reduce costs while accelerating essential infrastructure repairs that our local economies and communities depend on. This legislation will strengthen our infrastructure, create good-paying union jobs, lower long-term costs, and expedite progress while employing workers across our community.”
“Our communities can’t afford to wait around for infrastructure support. As fires, floods, and other natural disasters get worse, we need to invest in repairing and strengthening our infrastructure now,” said Congressman Thompson. “Proud to work with my colleague, Rep. Garamendi, to introduce the ADAPT Assets Act to jumpstart important infrastructure investments across our country and here at home.”
“All of us at MTC thank Congressman Garamendi and Congressman Thompson for their leadership,” said Metropolitan Transportation Commission Vice Chair and Marin County Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters. “The ADAPT Assets Act will help communities across the nation protect their infrastructure. Just as the federal government stepped up to build the national highway system and helped fund the Bay Area’s transit network, we need a strong federal partner to help us preserve these assets for future generations. There is a real urgency for communities across the North Bay, where Highway 37 is especially well suited to compete for an ADAPT Assets grant. The route is already vulnerable to flooding and threatened by sea level rise. We’re committed to a resilient Highway 37 that will not only support the North Bay workforce day in and day out but will also serve the whole Bay Area in a time of emergency.”
“California’s ability to protect our infrastructure from natural disasters depends on new funding, as proposed in the ADAPT Assets Act, to hire reliable contractors and a skilled workforce to deliver the improvements that are needed,” said Josh Arce, Senior Advisor, California Alliance for Jobs. “SR 37 is one of the most critical and vulnerable roadways in the North Bay. In addition to addressing near-term traffic congestion at places like the Highway 37 and Route 121 intersection, we support longer-term investments that are planned to protect access along this corridor and all California roadways from sea level rise. Now is the time to act to increase federal funding to shore up our infrastructure and create tens of thousands of union construction jobs and we are so grateful to Congressman Garamendi, Congressman Thompson and MTC for their leadership on this issue.”
“Climate adaptation doesn’t fail for lack of ideas — it fails because funding and agencies aren’t built to work together at scale," said Caitlin Sweeney, Executive Director of the San Francisco Estuary Partnership. “The ADAPT Act tackles that challenge head-on, creating a pathway for complex, multi-sector projects that deliver real protection for people, infrastructure, and ecosystems when and where it’s needed most.”
“I strongly support the ADAPT Act because it makes a smart, forward-looking investment in strengthening and protecting our infrastructure from the growing impacts of natural disasters,” said Assemblywoman Lori Wilson. “By acting now, we can safeguard critical infrastructure, strengthen regional resilience, and ensure our communities are prepared for the challenges ahead.”
Bill Background
The ADAPT Assets Act establishes a national framework for cost-effective disaster preparedness and would provide $2 billion every year to support the development of 10 large-scale critical infrastructure projects, including in the Bay Area, where an estimated $100 billion is required to protect the region’s shoreline from flooding through 2050.
The legislation advances critical initiatives that mitigate the risk of catastrophic damage, prolonged disruptions, and recurring emergency repairs to essential surface transportation assets. It also facilitates enhanced coordination with federal agencies, including FEMA, the Department of Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and would serve as a model for the delivery of large-scale disaster resilience infrastructure projects nationwide.

Supporting Statements
“I strongly support the ADAPT Act and its focus on delivering real, large-scale solutions to protect our communities,” said Vallejo Supervisor Cassandra James. “From shoreline flooding to critical transportation vulnerabilities, our region is on the front lines, and we need federal partnership to meet this moment. This is especially noteworthy for Solano County and Vallejo, one of the most diverse counties and cities in the nation, where resilience investments must reflect and protect the communities that make our region strong. The ADAPT Act will help ensure we are better prepared for the future while advancing sustainability, and long-term economic stability.”
"The Bay Area economy depends on our ability to move people and goods around the region, but our transportation infrastructure is increasingly threatened by rising seas and extreme weather events,” said Emily Loper, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the Bay Area Council. “The ADAPT Act will help us fund and deliver the resilience improvements we need to strengthen our transportation infrastructure for generations to come.”
“North Bay Leadership Council supports the ADAPT Act because it finally provides the kind of coordinated funding and delivery framework needed to move critical resilience projects like State Route 37 from planning to reality. We’ve waited too long! The two-lane Highway 37 is gridlocked most of the day and is prone to flooding and disruptions causing massive delays for teachers, nurses, childcare providers, truck drivers and working families who keep our economy moving. The ADAPT Act will strengthen this vital corridor for our economy, our communities, and the long-term mobility of the North Bay,” said Joanne Webster, President and CEO of the North Bay Leadership Council.
“The Solano Transportation Authority appreciates Congressman Garamendi and Congressman Thompson's leadership and commitment to addressing resiliency along the SR 37 corridor which will further environmental enhancements and provide congestion relief through his work on the ADAPT Act,” said Daryl Halls, Executive Director of the Solano Transportation Authority. "We thank him for his perseverance in finding solutions for this complex and diverse corridor.”
"As a County Supervisor and BCDC Commissioner addressing sea level rise, we appreciate Congressmember Garamendi’s efforts to help make our vital transportation infrastructure more resilient to sea level rise,” said John Gioia, Contra Costa County Supervisor and Commissioner at the San Francisco Bay Conservation Development Commission (BCDC).
“This ADAPT Act is superbly timed and on the mark. It champions the vital linkage between protecting our nation’s shoreline transportation infrastructure and utilizing nature-based strategies that both enhance the natural environment and provide resilience to this infrastructure,” said Stuart Siegel, Coastal Resilience Specialist for the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. "Being the design lead for the Bay Area’s pilot of this concept - Strip Marsh East and State Route 37 - I have seen first-hand both the opportunities this Act advances and the challenges the Act helps to remedy.”

Rep. Garamendi Statement on Additional ICE Funding
Position: Opposes increased federal funding for ICE, arguing the agency requires oversight and reform rather than additional budget allocations.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman John Garamendi (CA-08) released the following statement after voting NO on the House passed a $140 billion budget increase for Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP):
“Republicans’ bill that would again give ICE additional money is exactly what Americans are sick of. Oversized budgets to fund an out-of-control police force. It is a slap in the face to the American people.
“The last thing ICE needs is $140 billion more for their slush fund. My Democratic colleagues and I have been clear, ICE needs real oversight, not just a blank check. Since the beginning of Trump’s shutdown, we’ve asked for ten commonsense reforms to Trump’s personal force that would ensure that ICE agents are treated on the same level playing field as every single other police force in America.
“I’m a NO on more funding for ICE.”

ICYMI: Rep. Garamendi, Sen. Kelly Pen Fox News Op-Ed Warning of American Maritime Decline, Urge Passage of the SHIPS for America Act
Position: Rep. Garamendi and Sen. Kelly advocate for passage of the bipartisan SHIPS for America Act to revitalize U.S. shipbuilding and commercial maritime industries, citing national security and economic concerns related to Chinese maritime dominance.
WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA-08) Arizona Senator and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy alum Mark Kelly (D-AZ) published an op-ed in Fox News highlighting the momentum to rebuild the U.S. declining maritime industry, which poses a serious threat to U.S. national security and the economy.
With bipartisan support in Congress and overwhelming backing from maritime leaders, as well as a president who seems to recognize the urgent need to build more American ships, Garamendi and Kelly call on Congress to pass their bipartisan SHIPS for America Act.
Congressman Garamendi and Senator Kelly, alongside Senator Todd Young (R-IN) and Representative Trent Kelly (R-MS-01), introduced the SHIPS for America Act to revitalize the United States shipbuilding and commercial maritime industries. Later, President Trump released his Maritime Action Plan, which mirrors the bipartisan legislation and is further proof that now is the time for Congress to act.
Read the full op-ed HERE. See key excerpts below:
On the threat China poses at sea:
“China now dominates the world’s sea lanes and is massively outbuilding the United States on merchant and naval fleets. China has the world’s largest commercial fleet and is building over 1,000 vessels every year. In 2024, the United States built only five merchant vessels, while China built 1,400. China also has three times as many Naval Warships as the United States.
This has dangerous implications for our economic and maritime security. In the event of a military or trade conflict, President Xi Jinping could prohibit Chinese ships from entering American ports, an action that could cause industry bottlenecks, cut off supply to needed goods, and jack up prices-—basically overnight.”
On President Trump releasing his Maritime Action plan:
“And today, we have a president who seems to recognize this urgent need. In February, President Trump unveiled his Maritime Action Plan, a blueprint to make American ships again. It would provide long-term and stable funding for U.S.-built ships, shipyards, and mariners, and cut regulatory red tape to meet the maritime needs of our country today.
We share the goal of revitalizing the U.S. maritime sector. That’s why we introduced the SHIPS for America Act with Republican Senator Todd Young from Indiana, and Republican Congressman Trent Kelly from Mississippi. It’s the most ambitious and comprehensive legislation in a generation to set America on the path to regain our position as the greatest maritime power in the world.”
On the alignment across Congress, industry, and White House to build more American ships:
“Never before have we witnessed such comprehensive alignment between Republicans and Democrats, industry, and organized labor for rebuilding our great nation’s maritime industry.
It’s clear to us that the opportunity is now. Let’s get to work.”

Rep. Garamendi Votes NO on FISA Section 702 Extension
Position: Rep. Garamendi opposes a five-year extension of FISA Section 702 without meaningful privacy and civil-liberties reforms, arguing that the authority enables warrantless surveillance of Americans and cannot be trusted under the current administration without enforceable guardrails.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman John Garamendi (CA-08) released the following statement after voting NO on a five-year extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):
“While Section 702 of FISA is an important tool for national security, this authority also opens a backdoor for warrantless surveillance of Americans. This surveillance tool must be reformed to protect Americans’ privacy and civil liberties.
“Congress cannot blindly trust that the Trump Administration will not abuse FISA. President Trump has already signaled his willingness to use Americans’ personal data to advance a mass deportation agenda. This Administration cannot be relied upon to police itself.
“National security must not come at the expense of Americans’ constitutional rights. Congress must impose strong, enforceable guardrails on Section 702. I will continue to fight for privacy rights and oppose any ‘clean’ reauthorization that fails to include meaningful reforms.”
Congressman Garamendi spoke out against the problematic provisions of the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act during an interview on CNN.

Garamendi Introduces War Powers Resolution to Stop Trump’s Illegal Iran War
Position: Congressman Garamendi opposes the current military conflict with Iran as unauthorized and advocates for passage of a War Powers Resolution to end the conflict, arguing it lacks congressional approval and strategic justification.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA-08), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, released the following statement after introducing a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran:
“President Trump’s unilateral and unauthorized decision to plunge the United States into his war of choice with Iran must be stopped. That is why I’m proud to introduce a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran.
“Trump’s war is nothing short of a self-inflicted national security and economic disaster. Thirteen American servicemembers and thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Americans, who are already plagued by one of the worst affordability crises in years, are now paying unconscionable amounts for a tank of gas and are struggling to keep food on the table.
“The American people are barely getting by, and to what end? The Iranian regime is still intact. They still have ample ballistic missiles and drones and now control the flow of goods through the Strait of Hormuz. Lastly, the Iranian government is expanding their stockpile of uranium with the goal of developing nuclear weapons, which would have been impossible if Trump didn’t shred President Obama’s Iran Nuclear deal.
“The Founders of our country gave Congress, as representatives of the American people, the ultimate decision of when we go to war. Instead of following through with his promise to stay out of foreign wars, President Trump made the dangerous and stupid decision to go to war, defying the Founders, Congress, and the will of the people. Trump has no plan to sustain the current conflict, no plan to transition the current Iranian government toward democracy, and no plan to de-escalate or contain the conflict from spreading throughout the region.
“I am proud to have voted for every War Powers Resolution introduced in this Congress, and I am proud to introduce my own. We cannot let this war go on. There is too much at stake.”
