Senator Padilla's job is to show up and ask questions. And that's what he did. It is absolutely unacceptable that Kristi Noem's agents manhandled and detained him.

Young people live our lives online, which includes things like tracking our periods, Ubering to an abortion clinic, and buying abortion pills. But that data is vulnerable in the post-Roe era. That’s why I introduced the My Body, My Data Act to protect it.
Trump just ramped up tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%. This will raise manufacturing costs and hit San Diego’s craft beer industry hard.
Small business owners across our district have told me the same thing: these broad, untargeted tariffs are hurting them.
I know many of you have serious concerns about active duty Marines being deployed to our cities - I do too. Today, I voiced my concerns and asked the Commandant of the Marine Corps questions about their required training to ensure these Marines follow the law.
My generation was the first to grow up with school shooter drills – but we’re not the last. We will keep fighting alongside groups like Shaphat Outreach to pass common-sense laws that save lives so that we never have to recognize another Wear Orange Day again.
I was heartbroken to see Ascension Lutheran Church’s Pride banner recently vandalized for the third time. As we celebrate National Pride Month, everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. San Diego must stand united against all forms of hate and violence 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Today in Congress, I re-introduced the My Body, My Data Act — which would create a new national standard to protect personal reproductive and sexual health data.
Would you look at that: the Department of Government Efficiency has not actually been efficient at all.
By some counts, it’s cost taxpayers more money than it’s saved and has certainly caused chaos that literally led to people dying.
Next week, I’m hosting a virtual town hall with California’s @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov.
Join us on Wednesday, June 18th at 6pm PT. We’ll be live streaming on Facebook or you can RSVP for a Zoom link: tinyurl.com/townhall6-18
Hope to see you there!
It was great to join the Rolando Park Community Council for a clean-up on University Ave. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to keep our neighborhood litter-free!
Instead of unnecessarily deploying troops to LA that will cost taxpayers $134 million, we could provide 44 million school lunches to hungry kids.
Keep a close eye on the price of canned goods – it’ll probably go up soon thanks to Trump’s import tax hike on steel and aluminum, which is needed to manufacture cans.
These tariffs are not strategic. Instead, they’re squeezing American businesses and families.
This isn’t meant to ensure public safety; it's meant to scare and intimidate people. And if Trump can do this in California, he can ignore the wishes of *any* governor in *any* state. That’s why we all need to stand up against this unprecedented abuse of power.
Marines are trained for combat – not crowd control, de-escalation, or community policing. So this increases the potential for escalation, poor judgment, and excessive force against Americans who are exercising their constitutional First Amendment rights.
First off, military personnel – including the National Guard and Marines – should not (and under current legal authorities cannot) be used for civilian law enforcement. This represents a serious erosion of the civil-military divide and sets a dangerous precedent.
Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.
These immigration raids don’t define us, but our response to them does. I was proud to have dinner at Buona Forchetta to show my support as they deal with the fallout of the raid where agents threw out flash bangs in order to arrest restaurant workers — not hardened criminals.
We can’t take the bait. Donald Trump wants to create public unrest so he can invoke martial law.
Deploying the National Guard to LA is an unnecessary escalation. No one wants their community to become militarized — it raises the potential for people to get hurt and erodes public trust. President Trump, don’t do this.
Yep ⬇️
We need a smart, systematic overhaul of our government – but it’ll take much more than a billionaire *allegedly* on ketamine with a chainsaw to do it.
