Proudly representing the people of south San Diego County in U.S. Congress. Former CA State Senator, Assembly Member, and SD City Council Member.
An attack on our communities, due process, and civil liberties - that's Trump's immigration agenda.

It's on all of us to speak out.

I am a proud son of immigrants. I know immigrants make our country stronger. I'm on the Floor with @usprogressives.bsky.social and @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social to speak out against Trump's continued efforts to target and terrorize immigrant communities.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.

That makes 214.

We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Trump's economic policies are failing us. Plain and simple.

If the ACA tax credits are allowed to expire, health care premiums will skyrocket for millions of families in 2026.

Congress has the power to stop this. We absolutely must take action.

But Republicans "aren't interested" in joining Democrats to stop this health care crisis.

I am horrified by today's tragic shooting of two National Guard members. My prayers are with them, their loved ones, and the dedicated men and women of our National Guard. Grateful for the swift response of first responders.

For over a month, ICE did everything in their power to try to stop us from conducting oversight at the courthouse after reports that detainees were being held in poor conditions.

Today, we got in. Oversight matters. We're not going to stop demanding answers and working to protect our communities.

Democrats have been ready to vote to extend ACA credits for months. Instead of working with us to reduce health care costs for families across the country, Trump and Republicans are trying to raise them.

Congress has sent a clear message: release the Epstein Files.

Time for Trump and the Justice Department to follow through.

No more excuses. We need the truth.
Senate unanimously agrees to approve Epstein files bill

I just voted YES to release the Epstein Files.

This passed the House - now it's time for the Senate to do the same.

The survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.
November 18, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Trump knew he was going to lose this vote. He's trying to save face.

Reminder: Trump already has the power to release the Epstein Files. He could tell the DOJ to release them today! The reason we're going through all this legislation is because he is refusing to do so.

Release the files NOW.

Congratulations to Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva.

After 7+ weeks of stalling and obstruction from Speaker Johnson, Arizona’s 7th District finally has formal representation in the halls of Congress.

Looking forward to serving together.

Today, Republicans are trying to pass a bill that allows health care costs to skyrocket. Millions of families will lose their health care.

It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

Republicans just broke the record for longest shutdown.

They're refusing to meet with Democrats to open the government and address the health care crisis they created.

It's shameful, and it's time for them to come to the table and help us protect health care for millions.

Open enrollment for health care begins today, and millions of Americans could see their coverage costs skyrocket.

Health care should be affordable – that's exactly what Democrats are fighting for every day.

It's time for Republicans to come to the table.
