I’ve heard these rumors of insufficient and disrupted medical care too. I will keep showing up to Otay Mesa’s immigration detention center (both announced and unannounced) to get to the bottom of this.

It’s hard for anyone to afford living in San Diego – but it’s even harder for our military families. I’ve helped to expand access to child care and housing, but there’s a lot more we can do to ensure that our military families can make ends meet.

The Trump Administration just further gutted the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, where Jewish students previously reported instances of antisemitism. Another instance of making Jewish students less safe on campus.

ICE isn’t targeting criminals – they’re increasingly going after immigrant kids. Now, they’re trying to scare their lawyers and raid their offices. These brazen acts of intimidation won’t work.

Words aren't enough anymore – we need ACTION. The Trump Administration has leverage they refuse to use to prevent these atrocities. If they actually cared, they would support my Stand up for Sudan Act and cut off arms to the UAE, which is arming the RSF.

4 years after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, it's never been more clear: we must codify the right to abortion nationwide and fight back with a comprehensive strategy of our own.

Donald Trump is holding up bipartisan legislation to lower your housing costs because he wants to take your ability to vote away. He’s a tyrant – and Republicans shouldn’t let him get away with it.

Instead of addressing YOUR high costs, Donald Trump is spending hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars on building his White House ballroom. How thoughtful.

Corruption in *plane* sight.

The U.S. has murdered at least 211 people off the coast of Venezuela allegedly to address the fentanyl crisis, but these murders have had zero impact on the fentanyl crisis. Why? Because Venezuela plays virtually no role in making or trafficking fentanyl.

I’m relieved that no one was hurt and there’s no active threat to the Islamic Center of San Diego. But we urgently have to address the anti-Muslim and anti-Islam hatred brewing in our community and across the U.S. Everyone, no matter their faith, should be able to live in peace.

We need to overturn Citizens United.

It was great to join the SD Regional Chamber of Commerce for their annual Congressional Luncheon to hear from local business leaders and share how I’m working to support and strengthen our local workforce and business community.

I am relieved by the agreement to end the war in Iran, but we also need to remember how we got here. Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and then started this unnecessary, costly, and deadly war of choice.

On the 14th anniversary of DACA, the program is under siege. USCIS is intentionally delaying the process and failing to process renewals so folks have lost their jobs while waiting in limbo. They deserve stability and pathways to citizenship.

The leader of Tren de Aragua was responsible for human and drug trafficking and horrific violence. He should have been held accountable in a court of law, not in a rogue display of bravado. Ignoring these rules makes them less effective at protecting us.

The Trump Administration is continuing to sink to new lows – deporting people to countries where they have no ties, support, or protections. They just sent two dozen people to the Central African Republic, where they’re likely to face human rights abuses.

It’s a full-scale cover up INSIDE THE SITUATION ROOM to conceal the Epstein Files. Don’t give up. Keep the pressure on.

I don’t know why Trump recently needed to see 22 specialists… But I will point out that many Americans could never afford to see 22 doctors in one year – especially after Trump and Republicans cut health care for millions of people.

It’s no wonder that so many people – especially young people – are disillusioned with our country right now. Look around. The American dream isn’t attainable and our systems are failing to deliver solutions. We need to change that.

It’s not a coincidence that the FBI just raided the offices of an organization that led one of Ohio’s biggest 2024 voter registration efforts. This is all about suppressing and silencing voters, nothing more.

It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses. It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.

More than 2 million children who previously had health care through Medicaid or CHIP have been dropped, as huge cuts from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill are just beginning to take effect. Every kid deserves access to care to grow up safe and healthy.

There is NO credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in California, just like there was NO credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 elections. Donald Trump will run this play again in November – the American people must reject it.

Mamuka Artmeladze is at least the 19th person to die in ICE custody this year and it’s the second reported death at this facility in Louisiana in the last two months. This is unacceptable – we need immediate corrective action and higher standards of care.

Just voted NO again on a clean FISA reauthorization. We shouldn’t allow the government to conduct warrantless surveillance of Americans — especially with Bill Pulte in charge.

This is exactly why Senate Republicans should’ve joined Democrats when they had the chance to permanently BAN Trump’s “anti-weaponization” fund for January 6th insurrectionists. Instead, they fell for an empty promise – AGAIN.

Trump is losing and the facts are not on his side – so he’s targeting people who dare to tell the truth (journalists, content creators, independent media) and is trying to suppress YOUR access to information. But we won’t let these intimidation tactics work.

This $70 billion won’t lower the cost of groceries, health care, or housing. It won’t fund your kids’ schools or keep your neighbor from going hungry. Instead, it’ll pay masked ICE agents to terrorize communities and detain people in inhumane conditions.

Mr. President, you’re no Jed Bartlet.

Trump wants to bail out the dying coal industry with $800 Million of YOUR taxpayer dollars. This is just about making his coal CEO buddies richer while selling out our future.

Trump is blatantly abusing the power of the Presidency to enrich himself and shield himself from accountability. Congress could stop him, but Republicans have repeatedly refused to join Democrats to do anything about it. Americans deserve better.

Senate Republicans had a chance to join Democrats to permanently ban Trump’s $1.8 Billion anti-weaponization slush fund. Did they do it? No. Instead, they gave Trump a total pass AND voted for $70 BILLION in funding for ICE and Border Patrol.

$1.142 TRILLION plus reconciliation would make this the largest defense budget in U.S. history. That’s crazy and it doesn’t make us safer. We should be investing in Americans instead of blindly throwing taxpayer dollars into the defense industrial complex. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Last night, I voted NO on the $1.142 TRILLION National Defense Authorization Act in the House Armed Services Committee because it utterly fails to constrain the weaponization and politicization of our military by the Trump Administration.

Congress has been too slow on AI. My approach protects states’ progress and helps federal agencies hold companies accountable when AI is used to break existing federal laws. My bill won't solve every concern with AI, but it would be a big step forward.

I came to Congress to help stop reckless wars that my community and generation have paid the price for. Today, I proudly voted (for the fourth time) to end Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran and it finally passed the House 215-208. Now the Senate needs to pass it too.

A UFC ring, a White House ballroom…it’s like Donald Trump will do literally anything else besides lower the cost of gas, groceries, child care, and housing.

This report confirms what we’ve known for years: the UAE is continuing to provide robust support for the RSF in Sudan, enabling their horrific genocide. The U.S. needs to stop ignoring this and funneling weapons to the UAE anyway.

Little Marco is too scared to tell the truth.

I just introduced the most ambitious and practical AI governance bill in American history.

If people detained by ICE are dying by suicide at an unprecedented rate, it’s clearly cruel and unusual punishment. Congress needs to claw back the $75 billion given to ICE, stop its abuse, and dismantle and overhaul the entire agency.

Explain it to me like I’m five….how does putting Donald Trump’s face on a $250 bill do ANYTHING to lower the cost of gas or groceries???

TODAY is the California Primary Election! If you haven’t voted yet, return your ballot to a drop-off location or county elections office by 8PM today, or mail it – but make sure it’s postmarked by today, June 2nd. Find a polling place or drop off location: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

NOT the Onion. The Trump Administration is really spending $5 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars to coat horse statues in gold instead of doing anything to lower the cost of gas, groceries, child care, or housing.

The United States has murdered at least 200 people off the coast of South America. When Democrats are in charge, we will finally be able to do oversight, get justice, and stop this endless stream of murders.

This illegal, reckless war in Iran has lasted over 90 days, and Trump has created a situation with no good outcomes left. The best outcome now is to negotiate in good faith and end this war as fast as possible – more strikes don’t lead us to that outcome.

Delaney Hall needs to be shut down. ICE's violent retaliatory tactics against people inside and outside the facility are escalating. Instead of fixing the worms in food, showers so hot they leave burns, and the lack of medical care, they're responding with pepper spray and fury.

After last week's horrifying tragedy, I hope that San Diego's Muslim community can find peace and strength with loved ones while celebrating Eid al-Adha. May this holiday remind us all of the importance of compassion, generosity, and service. Eid Mubarak!

It was so much fun to meet these pre-school and T-K students at the Little Lemons Early Childhood Education Center in Lemon Grove School District. I’m proud to have brought home over $2 million in federal funding to support this Center and the families it serves.
