Food insecurity is rising in all 50 states, and yet the Senate’s budget bill would enact the biggest cut to SNAP ever.
It would cut food assistance for:
❌Veterans
❌People who are homeless
❌Youth aging out of foster care
❌Stay-at-home parents

I had a great time celebrating Juneteenth last week at Chollas Lake! There were amazing local vendors, music, activities, and history. Even in these dark times, the joy and resilience of our community in San Diego shine through.
I was happy to join the long-running Cooper Family Foundation’s Juneteenth Celebration last weekend! The best antidote to the authoritarian attacks we’re facing is to build community, find strength in our diversity, and learn from our history.
The fight isn’t over. The merits battle now heads back to the lower courts – and we’ll be there every step of the way to defend the promise of the 14th Amendment.
On process, this ruling also makes it so much harder to undo any future unconstitutional actions by the president – basically, it will take a class action lawsuit in order to get broad relief across the country.
No vote. No passport. No equal protection. Limited due process. A safety net yanked away. That’s the human cost of eliminating birthright citizenship.
It would forever change who feels like they can belong, participate, and be protected here.
If President Trump ever managed to derail that promise, it would create a new sub-class of millions of people who were born here in the United States, but don’t have the same rights and benefits of citizenship.
Any effort to end birthright citizenship is flat-out unconstitutional.
It’s right there in the 14th Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the U.S. … are citizens.”
The Supreme Court just released its opinion in the birthright citizenship case.
Here’s the big takeaway: the Court tightened the rules on when a single judge can issue a nationwide injunction, instead of deciding the fate of birthright citizenship. That’s still a big problem.
Thank you to Teamsters Local 542 for inviting me to the National Teamsters Hispanic Caucus biannual convention. Unions have always been on the side of the people – fighting back against inequality, corporate power, and authoritarianism. Proud to stand with you.
I visited Includ(Ed) to see their amazing work reimagining inclusive early childhood education. Children with disabilities, like all children, deserve access to affordable, high-quality care. I'm proudly fighting for federal funding to help make that possible.
I met with NATCA at the Lindbergh Air Traffic Control Tower to discuss solutions to critical, nationwide staffing shortages.
I fully support funding for controller hiring, retention, and training, and I’ll keep pushing for smart, sustained staffing investments.
This ruling paves the way for states to kick Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid – putting THEIR beliefs above YOUR health care.
Here’s what that means:
-More undetected cancers
-More untested STIs
-More challenges to getting birth control
-More preventable deaths
It was great to meet with the team at Digital Force Technologies and celebrate the expansion of their headquarters and new jobs in San Diego!
It was my generation and my community in San Diego who answered the call to serve in these forever wars. And we know we don't want to be dragged into another one – this time, in Iran.
Again and again, ICE's tactics go too far. Breaking windows, deploying flashbangs, and handcuffing children is unacceptable. This doesn't ensure public safety – it disregards it.
Republicans in Congress want to kick MILLIONS of people off their health care – including many people with disabilities.
I visited Home of Guiding Hands, which provides a wide range of critical services to disabled folks in our region, to hear how Medicaid cuts would impact them.
3 years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
We’ve seen the horror that’s caused – people dying in ERs, parking lots, and at home because they can’t get an abortion.
Abortion is health care, and I won’t stop fighting until it’s legal, affordable, and accessible for all.
I’m glad that President Trump isn’t escalating further and I hope this ceasefire holds – but that doesn’t change the fact that bombing Iran was reckless, unconstitutional, and hurts U.S. credibility to negotiate a permanent, verifiable deal.
Beating, pepper-spraying, and then kidnapping a father of three Marines shouldn’t be in ICE’s job description. President Trump and Secretary Noem have let ICE run rogue – we need to rein them in.
