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. https://t.co/Awrk9x7w00

Our exploding national debt is unsustainable, and I’ll continue to sound the alarm on this. We spend more on interest on the debt than we do on our children. My Fiscal Commission Act would create bipartisan, long-term solutions to get our fiscal future back on track.
The national debt went up $89.38 billion in the last week to $38.4 trillion. When President Trump took the oath on Jan. 20, the national debt was at $36.2 trillion - it's gone up over $2.2 trillion in 10+ months.

Childhood obesity has more than tripled over the last four decades, due in large part to ultra-processed and calorie-dense foods marketed to kids. Our bipartisan bill would help families make informed choices to keep their children healthy. Learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/pBTtyG7yk5

I took office just weeks after the horrific Sandy Hook shooting 13 years ago today. Thank you to San Diegans for Gun Violence Prevention for having me at your annual vigil for gun violence victims. I won’t stop advocating for common sense reforms to save lives.

Heartbroken by the tragic shooting that occurred during a Hanukkah event in Australia. No one should fear violence while practicing their faith. My thoughts are with the victims and their families during this painful time.

I’m so saddened for yet another community torn apart by senseless gun violence. Students should feel safe at school. We don’t have to live like this. I’m praying for the families and loved ones of those killed, and the entire Brown community.

This year the Administration has unfairly targeted federal workers who serve Americans. I signed the petition to bring the Protect America’s Workforce Act to the floor in June, and on Thursday I joined colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass it, restoring earned union

The U.S. should be leading energy innovation on the global stage. Instead, President Trump is cancelling clean energy projects that would provide reliable, cheap energy that we desperately need. I’ll keep pushing to ensure we remain competitive and lower costs for Americans.
Electricity prices in France temporarily dropped to zero — consumers got power for free On December 8, electricity prices on France’s day-ahead market fell to zero, meaning that for several hours power was effectively free. Bloomberg reported the development. The reason was a

Thank you to the USS Nimitz for 50 years of iconic service. The Nimitz revolutionized naval carriers and aviation, and became a pop culture phenomenon in movies, books, and video games. Farewell to this one-of-a-kind ship. https://t.co/8PKHqfknl7

Healthcare tax credits are set to expire for millions of Americans, yet Senate Republicans just blocked efforts to extend them. 28,000 people in my district alone will see their health care costs rise if Republicans continue to sit on their hands. This is unacceptable. Congress
BREAKING: The Senate rejected dueling health care bills, virtually guaranteeing Obamacare subsidies will lapse for over 20 million Americans.

The Tijuana River sewage crisis needs immediate, consistent action. I'm fighting to make sure Congress delivers, and that every other agency and organization can do their part, too. That’s why I’ve proposed to authorize the International Boundary and Water Commission to receive

I signed onto this letter because rising housing costs threaten the prosperity of future generations in San Diego and across the country. New Dems laid out commonsense, immediate steps the Administration can take to tackle our nation’s housing crisis.
Housing is unaffordable for too many working families, who have to choose between putting food on their table & keeping a roof over their heads. New Dems, led by @NormaJTorres & @RepEmiliaSykes, wrote to President Trump, demanding he take immediate action to address this crisis.

It also conditions the Defense Secretary's travel budget on the release of footage from a "double tap" strike in the Caribbean. Murdering shipwrecked survivors is a clear violation of international human rights law and Sec. Hegseth must be held accountable. 3/5

I visited Access Youth Academy and learned about their work to transform the lives of underserved kids through academic enrichment and squash training. I was so impressed with the program which ensures students are supported from elementary school all the way through college.
