Just a reminder that about half of families in America can’t afford a $1,000 emergency – but Trump’s tariffs are likely to cost the average family $2,400 this year.
That means these tariffs could push people out of their homes and into poverty.

Between Trump’s tariff war driving up prices and Republicans’ budget that slashed food assistance (including free and reduced school lunches), families will be stretched even thinner and more kids will go hungry as they head back to school.
I visited SDG&E’s Wildfire and Climate Resilience Center to learn about their work to better mitigate wildfires and improve grid safety. As climate change makes our fire seasons hotter, drier, and longer, it’s critical that we do everything we can to protect our community.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will force cuts from school-based health services for low-income students, including health screenings for learning disabilities.
Building healthier, stronger communities starts by supporting every kid. Trump is doing the opposite.
Here in San Diego, it’s clear: American families, workers, and small business owners are already paying the cost of Trump’s tariffs.
I will continue fighting for open, fair, and smart trade policies – not unstrategic import taxes that undermine our own economy.
Two children recently fell through windows and died at Liberty Military Housing sites. That’s why I visited the Howard Gilmore location to provide Congressional oversight, ensure accountability, and find ways to eliminate loopholes in the law and raise safety standards.
I visited the Social Security Administration field office in Kearny Mesa to do Congressional oversight and ensure these systems are working and people are getting what they need.

President Trump is trying to seize control of our voting system and illegally override state election laws – this is an unconstitutional power grab. We cannot let this stand.
I joined @repscottpeters.bsky.social for a roundtable with Family Health Centers.
Trump’s budget is a health disaster: millions will lose insurance, hospitals will close, and new caps on federal student loans will price out many students from medical school and worsen our doctor shortage.
It was great to meet with AbilityOne and learn about their work as one of the biggest job providers in America for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. People with disabilities have valuable talents and skills that we want in our workforce – and we should support them.
Republicans’ new budget will make us sicker and keep us sicker by kicking millions of people off their health insurance, closing rural hospitals, and making it harder for students to go to medical school.
They’re sweeping up American citizens. They’re violating human rights. They’re not targeting criminals. ICE needs to be reined in now.
Reminder: Trump’s tariffs aren’t a tax on foreign countries – they’re a tax on YOU every time you check out.
Last week, I joined Bayside Community Center’s 3rd annual bocce ball tournament! It was so much fun to get outside, try something new, spend time in the community, and celebrate the great work Bayside does for San Diego.
Last week, I joined Parks After Dark in Linda Vista and supported their backpack and school supply giveaway! It was great to see so many families enjoying the evening in the park with music, activities, and food.
Natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, and wildfires are actually dangerous, NOT IMMIGRANTS. And yet, Trump just reassigned FEMA workers to ICE. That’s not how you keep us safe.
Is Pete Hegseth trying to be more and more disqualifying to be Secretary of Defense??
This is the latest dress rehearsal for Trump’s full-blown authoritarian takeover.
My office is now accepting applications for U.S. Service Academy Congressional Nominations for CA-51!

It was great to chat with these teens at the 21iQInnovation Summer Bootcamp on Entrepreneurship. They had great questions about leadership and government, and I loved seeing their passion for innovation!
