*sigh* let's see what kind of costume cosplay Kristi pulls up in today...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow California’s new, voter-approved Congressional maps to stand. Republicans started this, but we’re going to finish it. Midterms here we come!! 💙

A truly horrifying year already — and prices are still going up at every turn.

The violent and deadly tactics ICE and Border Patrol are using against immigrants and citizens alike are not new or rare – this is a pattern.

Trump is trying to make CBP Commander Greg Bovino his fall guy – but that’s not good enough. We demand REAL accountability. ICE and Border Patrol must be unmasked, investigated, and prosecuted and Kristi Noem needs to be impeached.

Political party shouldn’t matter when federal agents are murdering people. EVERY Republican in Congress needs to find courage (or fear, or shame, or whatever it takes) and stand up for our Constitutional rights. ICE must be stopped – and prosecuted.

Last week, I voted NO on DHS’s budget. Now, the Senate is considering a short term deal so they still need to hear from YOU. Call your Senators: (202) 224-3121 and tell them we need actual constraints to stop ICE and Border Patrol from murdering people in the streets.

If you’re looking for ways to support folks on the ground in Minnesota, consider donating to these organizations. If you can’t afford to donate, your time and voice is still valuable — amplify what’s actually happening to drown out the disinformation.

If you don’t care about world peace unless you get a prize for it, you probably didn’t care about world peace to begin with… Trump’s promise of peace was always empty.

Hard to believe it’s (only) been one year since Trump was inaugurated for the second time… The amount of damage he has done to our country will take years to undo – and some things can’t be undone at all. Critical institutions have been dismantled. People have died.

Kristi Noem should resign – or be impeached.

Republican leadership in Congress has completely abandoned their Constitutional responsibility to check the power of the executive branch. We need a Democratic majority willing to use our authority and hold this Administration accountable.

So Elon Musk's AI chatbot that has been producing nude deepfakes of women and children is now going to be part of our military. What could go wrong… www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to Minnesota. I have a bill that would STOP him. Congress needs to pass H.R. 4076 - Insurrection Act of 2025 immediately. If you agree, call your Reps/Senators and share this everywhere.

With everything going on right now, the last thing we need is the flu. So here’s a reminder that it’s not too late to get vaccinated if you haven’t already!

We do NOT need to spend $1.5 TRILLION on the military. We need universal child care. We need universal health care. We need housing and groceries that are affordable. President Trump and this Republican party will never deliver that.

1 week into 2026 and it’s never been more clear: we URGENTLY need a Congress that’s willing to use our authority to check Trump’s power and that’s ready to deliver solutions on health care, child care, and the cost of living. We need a Democratic majority. Midterms, here we come.

Just like everyone else, I watched the video of ICE shooting Renee Nicole Good in her car. It was sickening. And it makes the Trump Administration’s attempts to gaslight the public even more outrageous. We know what we saw. This was murder.

What happened to Renee in Minneapolis could’ve happened anywhere — to anyone. We’ve seen countless videos of ICE’s unnecessary violence in communities across this country, including San Diego. “Absolute immunity” for ICE is bullshit. We demand accountability and justice NOW.

A few helpful DOs and DON’Ts to keep your skin looking ✨ glowy ✨ (And if you need proof that these work, consider the fact that I’m 8 years older than Karoline Leavitt!!)

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I hope your day is filled with lots of good food, laughter, and loved ones.

Two weeks ago, it was an op-ed asking if women ruined the workplace. Yesterday, it was the President telling a female reporter “quiet, piggy” when she was doing her job. Today, it was a meeting where every question was directed to my more junior male colleague instead of me.

Some days, it’s hard to remember that change is possible — but not today. The House and Senate voted to release the Epstein files. Texas maps were overturned. We won New Jersey and Virginia and passed Prop 50. Tomorrow will be another fight, but today, let’s enjoy the wins.

This “deal” to fund the government does NOTHING to keep millions of Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing. This failure to act from both the Senate and House Republicans will have serious consequences for our community. I’m voting NO.

I always say that it will take all of us to build a democracy that works and we just took a big step forward thanks to millions of California voters. THANK YOU for voting yes on Prop 50 so we can hold Donald Trump accountable and level the playing field. We won’t let you down.

Amazing win by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social tonight. He showed up every day as his authentic self and brought everything back to his core message of affordability. Looking forward to seeing what Democrats learn from his campaign and his leadership in NYC!

Congratulations to my colleagues past and present @spanbergerforva.bsky.social and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on their resounding victories! The story of tonight is that voters want us to relentlessly focus on affordability. Can’t wait to see everything that you deliver for your states!

Today is the day!! It’s Election Day in California. Your ballot should have arrived in the mail. If you still have it, get it turned in today! If you already have, thanks for doing your part.

It’s Election Day! Your ballot should have arrived in the mail. If you still have it, get it turned in today! Polls close at 8pm. Find the nearest polling place on the CA Secretary of State’s website: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place/

Good morning! What a great day to vote YES on Prop 50.

A few quick questions: Have you voted yet? Has your ballot been received? If not, do you have a plan to vote? Where is your polling place? Can you get your ballot mailed (and postmarked) by Nov. 4? If you're stumped on any of those, visit: voterstatus.sos.ca.gov

TOMORROW is Election Day here in California! Vote YES on Prop 50 to put a real check on Trump’s power and protect our democracy. Don’t sit this one out.

I’m so proud to be part of this new generation of leaders fighting to lower costs on everything from egg-freezing and IVF to child care and housing. We need a bold vision that delivers real solutions and we need leaders who will meet this moment.  nymag.com/intelligence...

Donald Trump’s DOJ reeks of bias. He replaced lawyers with loyalists. He made DOJ push and drop investigations. He pressured DOJ to go after his critics. “Election monitoring” of Prop 50 — that has the explicit goal to check Trump’s power — isn’t well-intentioned; it’s a threat.

Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio have all changed their maps to benefit Trump in the midterms. Now California MUST do the same to level the playing field. That’s why it was so great to have @gavinnewsom.bsky.social in San Diego to motivate everyone to vote YES on Prop 50 by Nov. 4.

If you’re sifting through your kids leftover Halloween candy and have no idea what’s actually in it, I have good news! I introduced the No Tricks on Treats Act to label dyes, flavorings, and sweeteners in food so you can easily understand what’s in it.

People in my district need health care. People in my district need child care. People in my district need CalFresh to feed their families. People in my district need to get paid. House Republicans need to come back to DC and work with us to end the shutdown.

Already voted YES on Prop 50 and turned in your ballot? Great! What about your friends? Your family? Your neighbors? Prop 50 is our best chance to STOP Donald Trump, but it’s going to take all of us working together to make sure it passes. Spread the word.

Things are really hard right now. If you’re struggling to afford food, here are a few resources in San Diego: feedingsandiego.org/  sandiegofoodbank.org/   jfssd.org/  If you can afford to help, consider supporting organizations like these in our community.

In a few days, millions of people will lose their food assistance. 130 Head Start locations will close. Pregnant and postpartum women and children will lose their benefits. And Donald Trump is focused on his gaudy ballroom.

6 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY! All you have to do is open up your ballot, fill in the YES bubble on Prop 50, and mail it back in (or drop it off)! No excuses.

SNAP (aka CalFresh) is a lifeline for millions of Americans and almost 400,000 San Diegans. Republicans can and should end the government shutdown to fund SNAP, pay our troops, and protect health care. This shouldn’t be controversial.

Day 28 of the government shutdown and 7 more days until Election Day. If you want a Congress that can actually govern, vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4.

Another reason to vote YES on Prop 50!

It’s day 22 of the Republican government shutdown. They have no real strategy to get us out of this, so they’re just lying instead. I call BS.

I voted! Have you? All California voters should have received their Prop 50 ballot in the mail. If you haven’t, track your ballot here: california.ballottrax.net/voter/ You must turn in your ballot by Nov. 4 at the latest! But the earlier, the better.

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is being prosecuted by the Trump Administration for doing her job and providing oversight of an ICE facility in her district. This is part of a pattern of political intimidation and retribution — but we won’t back down.

Literally anything but reopening the government and releasing the Epstein files…

DON’T FORGET: TODAY (Monday, October 20, 2025) is the last day you can register to vote on California’s redistricting plan to fight Trump and win back a Democratic majority in the House (Prop 50). Register or double check your status: registertovote.ca.gov #Yeson50

This election is going to be very, very close. Your vote MATTERS. Prop 50 would approve new (temporary) congressional maps, which we need to stop Trump and win back a Democratic majority in the House in 2026. Vote YES by Nov 4 – and tell your friends and neighbors too.
