Since January 20, too many of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans' actions have only served to break our government and hurt the American people. If you’ve been affected, please share your story here to help me best represent San Diego in Congress.

Our Afghan allies like Rahmet served alongside U.S. troops for years. They’re exactly the people we should want to be our neighbors. We must pass the Afghanistan TPS Act to keep our promises to them and ensure they aren’t targeted by the Trump Administration’s cruel, overreaching immigration agenda.
Happy Veterans Day! To every veteran and military family member who has sacrificed to defend our freedoms, thank you. I’ve had the privilege of meeting many San Diego vets over the years. Each one represents the very best of our nation - mission-driven, problem-solvers, and courageous. I will always work to keep our promises to care for those who have served and their loved ones.
Restraining an 8 year old child who posed no threat and was following the rules is barbaric. Our children should not have to live in fear of the Trump Admin deporting them, their classmates, or their law-abiding parents. I joined my colleagues to demand answers and updates on this incident.

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! San Diego is a proud Marine town. To all Marines past and present and their families, from MCRD to MCAS Miramar, to Camp Pendleton and around the world, thank you. Semper Fi.
251 Years at the Tip of the Spear
For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.
(Narrated by @netflix @mosquitobowl Director Peter Berg)

Pete Hegseth is a danger to our servicemembers. He’s violated or dismissed our laws and international laws, recklessly shared confidential information, prioritized his culture wars over our readiness for war, and continues to wage an illegal war. If he doesn’t resign, I’ll vote to impeach him.

San Diego is a proud military community home to hundreds of thousands of veterans. I attend the Mt. Soledad Veteran’s Day ceremony every year I’m in town because it’s a meaningful celebration of generations of patriots and heroes of all kinds who believed in upholding an unalienable right to liberty. This year’s honorees were no different. May we continue to build on the legacy of all those memorialized at Mt. Soledad.
San Diego’s clean energy sector supports 25,000 jobs and generates $7.2 billion for our economy. But permitting delays have kept many non-polluting projects from getting built — projects that lower utility costs and address climate change.
The bipartisan permitting package builds on reforms I’ve championed for years, and would help companies break ground sooner so we can cut emissions and costs. (1/2)
Cleantech San Diego CEO Jason Anderson is right: this is “the most serious effort in years” to fix a broken federal permitting system. Now, Congress must meet the moment. Let’s pass this package so clean energy reaches the grid sooner, and fewer costs get passed on to ratepayers. (2/2)

Democrats say they want to lower utility costs and combat climate change. Research shows the bipartisan permitting package would do both.
The math hasn’t changed since the election last week: Any permitting deal still needs to be negotiated with Republicans, get 60 votes in the Senate, and be signed by Trump, whether that's in this Congress or the next. Waiting for a 'better deal' won't change that. It just sets us back.
Passing BAAJA this Congress is the clearest way for Democrats to show their commitment to climate action is real, right now.

Wishing a bright and joyful Diwali to San Diegans and those around the world celebrating the Festival of Lights! May this time of spiritual renewal bring peace and prosperity as we reflect on the triumph of knowledge over ignorance and good over evil.
Dan from La Jolla had worked with the IRS for years regarding a fraudulent tax return filed in his name in 2022. My staff helped him and his wife prove his identity had been stolen so he could get his actual 2022 refund. Finally, the IRS processed his paperwork and he got his refund of $10,376.74!

When it comes to federal research funding, cutting “overhead” may sound like cutting waste, but overhead costs are really electricity, lab assistants, and other critical expenses that support life saving research. Listen to the newest episode of 72 and Sunny with UCSD Chancellor Khosla in my bio to learn more.

I led my colleagues to urge the Administration to cancel this deportation flight and I’m relieved that it's been cancelled for now. But it isn’t a solution. Our nation made a promise to stand by Afghans who risked their lives and their families’ safety. Sending them back to the Taliban breaks that promise. I’ll continue standing up for them.

We made a promise to protect our Afghan allies, and to those who stood with our troops. Call your Representative today and ask them to help honor that promise.

Renewable energy isn’t just better for our planet; it’s also cheaper to build and maintain. That’s why the rest of the world is going electric. If the U.S. wants to compete on a global stage and lower costs, the Trump Administration must stop taking us backwards.
In Congress, I’ve worked to bring home federal dollars for Community Project Funding requests across San Diego, including investments in infrastructure, housing, universities, wildfire safety, job training, mental health care, and more. Explore the requests I’ve secured on our new interactive map.

The DOJ demanded sensitive voter data on San Diegans before Election Day, with no legal authority and in violation of federal laws. My San Diego congressional colleagues and I are backing our County Registrar. Eligible voters should never be put at risk of having their vote thrown out.⬇️
