Proud to represent San Diego and a new generation of leaders in Congress.
Joined January 2021
I joined @SDFoodBank for an emergency food distribution for federal workers, military families, and everyone needing some extra help right now. It shouldn’t take a court order to force the Trump Administration to do the right thing and even partially fund SNAP.

Now let’s do the nation. Free, universal child care is the proactive, pro-economy, pro-family vision we need for the future. https://t.co/j7CVd70qD3

Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.

Republicans just tied the record for the longest U.S. government shutdown in history because they refuse to extend lifesaving ACA premium tax credits for millions of Americans like Stacy Cox. https://t.co/a7eyaiknf9

Our child care system is very broken. We need bold solutions. That's why I introduced the LEGACY Act – to tax trust fund kids more and invest that money to build a free, federal, universal, and multimodal child care system.

For some, the high cost of child care in the U.S. is a higher expense than rents and mortgages, or even in-state college tuition, and has pushed tens of thousands of women out of the workforce this...

Cartels pose a serious problem – but illegally bombing criminals to fix a drug epidemic is not the solution, and it makes border communities like mine in San Diego a bigger target for retaliation. https://t.co/MHpbiC3VWR

The new operation would include U.S. troops on the ground in Mexico striking drug labs and cartel leaders, according to current and former U.S. officials, though a deployment is not imminent.

Donald Trump campaigned on ending the forever wars but he’s launched unconstitutional strikes on Iran and illegal strikes in the Caribbean. He wants to test nuclear weapons again–and now he’s threatening to go to war with Nigeria. This is reckless and doesn't make us any safer.
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing

Democrats need a vision for the future that matches people’s reality and delivers urgent solutions. I’m proud to be part of this new generation of leaders that’s working to do just that. https://t.co/XOwrvQUg1Z

Undocumented immigrants are not and have never been eligible for federal SNAP benefits. So when Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP and when they slow-roll funding for SNAP, they’re hurting American citizens only. https://t.co/LB570z5fcL

Republicans in Congress are so hell-bent on taking away Americans’ health care that they don’t care about costing the economy $14 billion to do it. But yeah….sure…they’re “fiscally conservative.”

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month. https://t.co/sUsIOxRLuT

The truth is that health insurance costs are about to DOUBLE for millions of Americans. That’s a HUGE issue. It doesn’t have to be this way. Democrats have a plan to keep these costs down. Republicans need to get on board. https://t.co/G2HyuoKU9U

As Americans confront vastly more expensive health-care coverage, the Republican answer to the problem is to downplay the problem’s importance.

Open enrollment for ACA marketplace plans starts today. Millions of people are about to realize (if they haven't already) that their premiums are going to cost WAY more in 2026 because Republicans refuse to renew critical tax credits. This is a crisis. https://t.co/f29YtEx24N

Millions of households logging on to enroll in a health plan via the Affordable Care Act marketplace will see much higher premiums.

Republicans would rather stop SNAP than pass a bill that allows millions of people to afford health care and reopens the government. Democrats are fighting for your health, your food, your dignity, and your rights. Republicans want to take it all away. We deserve better.

The lawyers and intelligence professionals didn't even show up to the House Armed Services Committee briefing today on the U.S strikes on Venezuela. I didn't hear anything to prove otherwise – these strikes are illegal. They are murder. And they should stop immediately.

Over 130 Head Start programs serving about 60,000 children will close on November 1st because of insufficient funding. Children will lose access to care, early learning, nutrition, and stability – all because Republicans in Congress are too proud to negotiate with Democrats.

A timely reminder that every dollar in SNAP benefits spent generates about $1.50 in economic activity. So when Trump fails to use USDA’s contingency dollars to keep SNAP benefits going, 40 million Americans will go hungry AND our economy will lose out on billions in activity.

The UAE needs to be held accountable for its arming of the genocidal RSF. That's why I have introduced my Stand Up for Sudan Act that would block sales to the UAE until they stop sending weapons to the RSF.

We don’t know if Donald Trump promised anything to his billionaire buddy in exchange for this donation and it’s $6.37 BILLION short of what we actually need to pay our service members. I have a better idea: end the shutdown. https://t.co/S84Zhm5mgm

Speaker Johnson “deeply regrets” that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits this week, but 3 months ago, he signed a bill with $186 billion in cuts to SNAP. You can’t make it make sense.
NEWS: Speaker Johnson told House Rs on a private call shutdown's "pain register is about to hit level 10" - and it could force Dems to cave, per sources “Sadly," 42 million Americans will get hit when SNAP food aid runs out Nov. 1, he said. “We deeply regret it on our side."
