    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.

    Low reservoir levels means less water available to fight fires across the west. My Fix Our Forests Act will make smart changes to help prevent fires, limit their spread, and make them less destructive. The House passed it in 2025 and now the Senate must do their part to reduce

    In the past week, ICE agents shot and killed 2 people—and in neither case were the victims even the intended targets of their operation. These agencies are overfunded and undertrained, and it's time they're held accountable. I introduced the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration

    Democrats want cleaner, more reliable, and cheaper energy. But to deliver renewables and transmission, we need permitting reform to modernize our ancient environmental laws to strip out needless process impediments. Renewable developers tell us that speed and certainty are more

    Okay, a few thoughts on the Ezra/@billmckibben podcast. It's v good that people like Bill are pushing enviro groups from "block bad stuff" to "unblock good stuff." But the rhetoric only goes so far, & the truth is that we are not set up to succeed on the supply-side agenda. 🧵

    In 2019, I voted to enact this agreement because it delivered $300 million to tackle the Tijuana River’s sewage crisis and upheld trade agreements supporting nearly 40,000 jobs in our region. Since then, we’ve secured even more funding, broken ground on new infrastructure,

    It's essential that Mexico is held to its commitments under the USMCA to ensure lasting progress for our region. And if we walk away, we risk undoing hard-won progress and leave San Diego exposed to more pollution and economic setbacks. 3/3

    Last month, Congress passed the largest bipartisan housing package in decades. Even though President Trump refused to sign it, it became law anyway — proof that Democrats and Republicans can still work together to get things done without the president's say-so. I'm especially

    I secured @OceanDiscInst's first grant in my City Council days! It was great to visit this week and see the organization hard at work to educate students about oceanography and STEM careers. This is exactly the kind of effort the federal government should be funding, not cutting.

    Since Republicans let ACA tax credits expire in January, over 100,000 Californians have dropped their Affordable Care Act coverage. In some states, more than 20% of ACA enrollees have dropped. That risks public health and drives up costs for everyone when folks inevitably seek
