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
Supreme Court rules for South Carolina in its bid to defund Planned Parenthood
The dispute arose from a long-running effort by the state to block the reproductive health care group from receiving Medicaid funds.

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.
Federal agents broke windows, handcuffed teens in Oceanside immigration operation
Video recorded by a neighbor shows the heavily armed agents with weapons drawn surrounding the home and shattering the windows as they announce to the people inside, in Spanish, that they have an order from a judge.

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.
Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that a "complete and total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran will go into force with a view to ending the conflict between the two nations.

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.
Immigrant father of three Marines is violently detained, injured by federal agents, son says
Narciso Barranco, a landscaper in Orange County, was detained by immigration officials in a violent altercation Saturday. Barranco is the father of three Marines.

I was so proud to join the San Diego Indian American Society for their annual Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship awards ceremony. I can’t wait to see what this group of hardworking, exceptional local high school and community college students will do in the future!

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.
Toxic plume from Tijuana River can be seen from outer space, NASA report shows
The latest report from NASA shows a satellite image of the toxic plume from the Tijuana River spreading into the Pacific Ocean.

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.

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.
Medicaid cuts could result in more than 16,000 preventable deaths annually
Health care proposals in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could lead to more than 16,000 preventable deaths, a new analysis finds.

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.
