Proud to represent San Diego and a new generation of leaders in Congress.
This is why House Democrats voted to cancel Trump’s tariffs on Canada – it’s bad economic policy that hurts the American people without any strategic benefit.

The effects of climate change on our health and well-being are already being felt nationwide. To lie and pretend otherwise – as the Trump Administration is doing – is negligence and an utter failure to protect Americans.

Glad this will be challenged in court.

Pam Bondi doesn’t give a fuck about the Epstein survivors. She couldn’t even look at them.

In a disgraceful waste of time, Trump just tried and failed to indict 6 of my colleagues for a video reminding service members to refuse *illegal* orders.

Apparently, saying "follow the law" is a prosecutable offense but being in the Epstein files...that’s another story

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is dire. Millions of people are on the brink of death, lacking safety, shelter, food, water, and medicine. The U.S. needs to stop weapons sales and work to get all outside actors out of the conflict – starting with the UAE.

House Republicans passed the SAVE Act 2.0 – which will prevent millions of Americans from voting by requiring in-person proof of citizenship to register to vote AND, in many cases, to cast a ballot. The Senate must STOP this voter suppression bill.
House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Trump’s trade war with Canada makes no sense – and it’s making the costs of our washers, dryers, refrigerators, cars, and building materials for homes go up. That’s why I voted yesterday to REJECT these tariffs.
House votes to nix Trump's tariffs on Canada in rebuke of trade agenda
Six Republicans crossed the aisle to oppose the tariffs on a major U.S. trading partner. The measure now heads to the Senate.

Nothing has changed: these boat strikes are still illegal. They are murder. And they’re not making the United States any safer; in fact, they’re undermining the global rules that keep Americans safe and they’re making us more of a target.
U.S. strike on alleged drug boat kills 2 and leaves a survivor
The bulk of U.S. strikes near Venezuela and Colombia took place from September to December, but the U.S. has stepped up attacks again in recent weeks.

Reminder on the SAVE Act: about HALF of Americans (140 million+) don’t have a passport and as many as 69 million women who took their spouse’s last name don’t have a birth certificate matching their legal name.

This is a voter suppression bill.

Donald Trump is constantly talking about election rigging (he’s way off base btw), but nationalizing elections instead of keeping our fragmented system would actually make them easier to hack and manipulate.

Trump canceled the grant that helped fund Loma Elementary’s Parent Empowerment Program, which offers support and coaching for parents with kids struggling with behavioral challenges at school. I’m so glad I could see their invaluable work, and I will work to restore this funding.

Fraud in the care economy is nowhere near the epidemic levels that some conspiracy theorists suggest. That’s why I was glad to visit ARCC Center Foundation, which connects kids with developmental disabilities to respite workers, to hear about their work and auditing requirements.
