San Diegans know the sewage flowing from the Tijuana River Valley is a major issue – and now we know it can literally be seen from space.
I’m proud to have secured $650 million in federal funding to address this crisis and will continue fighting until it’s solved.

Trump just threatened more (and still congressionally unauthorized!) U.S. military strikes on Iran if they don’t come to the table. More strikes — and even threats of them — endanger the lives of our service members and millions of civilians in the region. It’s clear there is no real strategy here.
Trump’s strikes against Iran are not only unconstitutional, but an escalation that risks bringing the U.S. into another endless and deadly war.
Mahmoud Khalil will finally be free after being wrongly detained for over 3 months.
No matter if you agree with Khalil or not, the First Amendment protects his speech and he shouldn't be jailed for his views.
It was so great to join the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce for their annual Congressional Luncheon to hear from local business leaders and address some of the most pressing issues facing our community.
As Senate Republicans plan to cut even deeper into Medicaid, this report shows that cuts could kill more than 16,000 people EVERY YEAR.
These deaths are PREVENTABLE – if Republicans put people’s lives ahead of tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
Clean energy tax credits boost American manufacturing and are essential to fighting the climate crisis.
But Senate Republicans are about to throw out most of these credits to pay for huge tax cuts for billionaires. The Senate should reject this bill.
It was great to join the La Mesa-El Cajon chapter of the American Association of University Women last week. It has never been more important to defend the hard-won rights of women and girls and to stay engaged in our fight for equity.
Trump’s tariffs are seriously chilling the economy as everyday costs rise. The President should put his ego aside and end these import taxes now.
This needs to be the watershed moment to end anti-abortion and fetal personhood laws and guarantee the rights and dignity of everyone to make the best health care decisions for themselves and their families.
My heart breaks for Adriana Smith, her family, and baby Chance, who had to enter the world this way.
Georgia’s fetal personhood law denied Adriana Smith’s family the ability to say goodbye to her on their own terms. Instead, her body was used as an incubator for nearly 4 months.
If you’re an American citizen trying to evacuate from Israel or the West Bank, you should:
-Fill out the State Department’s crisis intake form:

-Enroll in the State Department’s STEP program: mytravel.state.gov/s/step
The LGBTQ+ community faces so much discrimination, isolation, and violence that makes them over 4x as likely to die by suicide.
Trump’s decision to end the federal LGBTQ+ suicide hotline is absolutely devastating and it’s the opposite of “pro-life”.
The Trump family corruption continues, this time in the form of a Trump-branded mobile phone plan!
Donald Trump’s presidency isn’t about helping Americans or lowering costs. Instead, he’s exploiting the White House to grab as much cash as he can for himself.

There is no military solution to this crisis, so we must find a diplomatic one. But regardless, the decisions about going to war or not belong to Congress, not the president. That's why I'm proud to support this resolution.
Here’s an idea for Senate Republicans: drop the huge tax cuts for billionaires and corporations and let people keep their health care AND clean energy tax credits.
The American people don't deserve to pay the price so the ultra wealthy can get richer.

Secretary Hegseth could not BELIEVE that some of our most qualified, highly-trained, and exceptional service members are transgender. Kicking them out of the military hurts our readiness and makes us less safe.
Here’s something every American needs to know: People on Medicare, Medicaid, ACA marketplace plans, AND with job-based health insurance (over 50% of Americans) will ALL see prices rise if Republicans' budget bill becomes law ⬇️
