A lesser-known benefit of Medicaid was that it helped people find and stay in stable housing. Republicans just gutted Medicaid – potentially pushing more people into homelessness.

HALF of all children in the U.S. get their health insurance through Medicaid. Families with kids already dealing with medical conditions will now have to face losing insurance and care after Republicans’ passed their Big Ugly Law and gutted Medicaid.

70 million people with disabilities and serious medical conditions receive in-home care assistance they otherwise could not afford without Medicaid. This is about survival AND quality of life. By gutting Medicaid, Republicans' Big Ugly Law threatens both. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I was happy to join folks at Ward Canyon Park for a community cleanup last weekend. Thanks to SD City Councilmember @seanelorivera.bsky.social for organizing this alongside several great organizations!

Guess my Republican colleagues didn’t think this one through.

This isn’t cancel culture – it’s state-sanctioned censorship. The President of the United States should know and respect that our First Amendment protects speech even if he doesn’t agree with it. If Jimmy Kimmel can be fired, you can be too.

24 million people on ACA health insurance plans will see their costs go up by up to 75% next year – unless Republicans join Democrats in Congress to extend the ACA premium tax credit. For many, this tax credit is the difference between having health care and not.

Grocery prices are up, tariffs are piling on, job numbers are down – and Trump is too busy lining his own pockets with crypto schemes to care.

1 in 4 military families report infertility (higher than the national average). That’s why I'm fighting to expand military health care coverage of IVF and fertility treatments for our service members and their dependents.

Health care costs are rising and Republicans in Congress are making it worse. They voted to gut Medicaid and have (so far) failed to extend the ACA premium tax credits that help millions of working families afford health insurance. We need action now.

Quick question: is pushing 1 million people into poverty making America great again?? Just curious.

Your health care premiums could go up by 75% next year. Here's what we can do to stop that.

Trump’s tariffs and inflation are hurtling our economy toward a recession…and Trump is focused on expanding his White House ballroom. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Now let’s do the nation.

Call me crazy – but I don’t think we should make 99% of Americans worse off so Donald Trump and his billionaire friends can profit. I think rich people should pay more in taxes. And I think everyone should have health care and be able to make ends meet.

Lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians won’t be built on permanent occupation. But it’s obvious that PM Netanyahu isn't interested in peace, he only wants to hold onto his own power.

Our service members sacrifice so much for us – but they should NEVER have to sacrifice building a family. That’s why I’m fighting so hard for TRICARE to cover fertility treatments – including IVF – for service members and their dependents.

The 47th shooting on a school campus this year. It’s horrifying and heartbreaking every single time. Gun violence is not inevitable. Congress has a responsibility to act.

There’s nothing glamorous about freezing your eggs…it feels like puberty, menopause, and pregnancy all together. But if we’re not talking about what it’s like to go through egg freezing, then there’s no way we’ll have good policy on it. That’s why I’m sharing my story:

Trump’s energy policies aren’t working – and now Americans are paying the price.

On September 11, 2001, our country was changed forever. Today, 24 years later, we remember those we lost and honor the first responders who courageously ran toward danger to save lives. We will never forget.

I froze my eggs over the summer. And now I’m fighting so that everyone has access to the fertility treatments like egg freezing and IVF that they need – starting with military families. Stay tuned for the House vote later this week.

I’m hearing this on the ground constantly – Trump’s tariffs are zeroing out small businesses’ bottom lines, so they have to raise prices on consumers to survive. This economic uncertainty is not sustainable.

Trump’s new caps on federal student loans mean lower-income students won’t be able to afford medical school, worsening our doctor shortage and ultimately hurting patient outcomes.

Trump’s immigration raids and deportations are tearing families apart. He’s going after hardworking people and people trying to go through the legal process. It’s wrong.

Two can play this game. Next week, I'm introducing legislation to rename the State Department as the Department of Peace. And if Trump wants to actually be the Peace President he says he is, then he should have no problem supporting it.

Our military should be a last resort used to defend our people, our country, and our interests but instead, Trump is shifting to a hawkish, aggressive posture, normalizing military action as inevitable. This is a dangerous shift in military policy.

For an Administration that wants people to have more babies, they don’t actually have any policies that help people deliver and raise babies safely.

I was there. You can’t rewrite history and pretend this wasn’t an attempt to hold onto power. You can’t pretend that Trump didn’t incite violence and then do next to nothing to stop it.

There are over 7 million people looking for a job right now. They matter. They don't cease to exist because of the Trump Administration's failed policies.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to LA was unlawful – and now he’s trying to do it again in New Orleans?! When will Republicans stand up to Trump?

We already knew Trump and his family have made at least $3.4 billion during his time in the White House – and now they just made $5 BILLION more from their crypto token??? All while regular people are struggling with skyrocketing costs. Unbelievable.

This is not a hoax. It’s a cover up. Release the files!

Expert tutorial on how to do a cover up!

Our child care system is broken – it's WAY too expensive, too scarce, and providers can barely make ends meet. A protected, nationwide trust fund for child care could change that – and I have a plan. (1/2)

20 years ago, our government utterly failed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But we learned – Congress reformed FEMA and invested in disaster response. Now, Trump is taking us backwards – reversing these reforms and gutting FEMA. History will repeat itself if this continues.

Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law killed ACA premium tax credits. Starting next year, premiums will increase by an average 75% – or more. We’re talking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more per month. People can’t afford Trump's America.

DOGE put hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by being careless with our Social Security data. While Trump gives giant tax breaks to billionaires, he’ll take away your health care, your food assistance – and he’ll even make it easier for your identity to be stolen.

If you thought Trump’s tariffs couldn’t get worse, think again. This Friday, costs for many shoppers and small businesses are about to go up – again.

Our troops shouldn’t be patrolling American cities. This is exactly what dictators do when they’re trying to control their citizens and suppress opposition.

It’s no wonder Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections, because the American people HATE his signature law. He knows he can’t win a fair fight.

Trump’s military takeover of DC isn’t about addressing crime or helping the city – it’s about seizing power and control.

This type of hateful language is unacceptable. It’s meant to intimidate, silence, and belittle Supervisor Montgomery Steppe and the Black community, but we won’t let it. Hate, racism, and bigotry have no place in San Diego.

I’m heartbroken for the families at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Back-to-school season should be something that families look forward to – instead of bringing the dread, fear, and trauma that comes with our country’s school shooting epidemic. This needs to end.

The Trump Administration has denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia his full rights to due process again and again, and now he could be disappeared to Uganda. No one deserves to have their rights violated. And right now, no one's rights are safe.

I visited National University to tour their co-learning space for parents and their children. Having access to resources like affordable child care is so critical, especially for working and military parents pursuing higher education.

My approach to policymaking has always focused on listening first. I was so grateful to meet with local leaders and parents this week to hear about their experiences accessing child care and ask how we can improve the system for everyone.

I met with Jenny Black, CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, to discuss the impacts of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill – which effectively defunded Planned Parenthood. Basic care for over 1 million people is under threat. I'm focused on finding ways to fight back.

It was so fun to join the MCRD library for storytime! Supporting military families and finding ways to improve quality of life is a big priority (and spending time with kids is always a highlight!).
