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.

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.

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.

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.

It's Day 30 of the government shutdown.

Republican leadership canceled votes in the House in September and haven't called us back into session for a SINGLE DAY since the shutdown began.

It's past time for them need to come back and work with us to protect health care and reopen the government.

At the San Diego federal building again with Reps. Peters, Levin, and Jacobs to conduct oversight after reports that ICE is detaining people here in the basement in concerning conditions.

Last Monday, ICE blocked myself and Rep. Peters from entering.

Today, we’re back again to demand answers.

Today, ICE denied @repscottpeters.bsky.social and me entry to areas where they hold detainees in the San Diego Courthouse. 1/3

This is about protecting affordable health care for millions of families across the country!

This is why we're fighting, and we're not backing down.

A federal judge found that Trump's ICE agents have been targeting people based on whether they a) look Latino; b) speak Spanish; and c) are at a certain location, like a day laborer pickup site.

That's racial profiling. Worse, the Supreme Court just greenlit these practices in a recent decision.

"The end goal here is clear. President Trump is attempting to take over the Fed... He wants control of the Fed in order to bail out his failing economic agenda."

I'm sounding the alarm on Trump's dangerous and unprecedented attacks on the Federal Reserve's independence. Watch here ⬇️

We just got new numbers on inflation: Trump's chaotic tariffs are raising costs. We're challenging his abuse of emergency powers to impose tariffs in court.

Greed, predatory lending, and deregulation crashed the economy and destroyed millions of lives in 2008. Democrats passed Dodd-Frank to stop it from happening again. Now, Republicans are working to undo it all. We're sounding the alarm.
