Happy 250th birthday to the United States Marine Corps! San Diego is a proud military town and our history with the Marine Corps is intertwined with our values of service, strength, and fidelity. To every Marine veteran, Marines currently serving, and their families, thank you. Semper Fi.

Immigration enforcement shouldn’t be conducted by masked, unidentified agents using unchecked force & recklessly deploying equipment like tear gas. My bill w/ @repdangoldman.bsky.social & @congressmanraja.bsky.social would curb excessive force & make it easier to identify officers acting improperly.

For 40 days, President Trump and Republicans refused to negotiate a bipartisan budget deal that prevents healthcare costs from skyrocketing. In CA50, 28,000 people face higher costs if we don't extend ACA tax credits. We cannot afford to wait, yet this deal does nothing to address this crisis. 1/3

It’s Day 36 of the shutdown, now the longest in our history. SNAP benefits have run out and President Trump is playing games with Americans’ ability to feed their families. My message to Speaker Johnson is simple: bring the House back into session so we can end this shutdown.

I visited MAAC Project to hear about their work to support San Diego families and to hang out with the kids - the cutest meeting of my week. Head Start programs nationwide have lost funding due to the Republican shutdown. It’s past time to come back to Washington and pass a budget.

Over the next few years, the U.S. will see a 25% rise in energy demand and an 18% rise in electricity costs. Instead of building more energy from every source to meet this demand and lower costs, the Trump Administration is cancelling energy projects it doesn’t like. A 🧵 1/11

CA50 students rely on Impact Aid to bridge the funding gap for schools that serve military families. The Trump Administration recently laid off Department of Education staff who administer this critical program. I joined my colleagues to demand that they reverse these terminations immediately.

A carrier strike group in the Caribbean will not reduce the threat posed by transnational criminal organizations. Instead, it's a potentially destabilizing action without any clear benefit. Congress must step in & make it clear that President Trump is not authorized to launch a war in Latin America.
