One of Donald Trump Jr.’s companies just got a $620 million Pentagon contract – the biggest ever made by the Office of Strategic Capital. Coincidence? I think not.

Trump Jr.-Backed Company Cashes In on Massive Pentagon Contract

What a coincidence!

Expanding the militarized zone around San Diego doesn’t make us any safer. Ultimately, it’s expensive, useless, and attempts to normalize our troops being used to support domestic law enforcement which is anything but normal.

Trump administration adds militarized zone in California along southern US border

The newly designated militarized zone extends nearly from the Arizona state line to the Otay Mountain Wilderness, traversing the Imperial Valley and border communities, including Tecate.

Donald Trump has no idea how to actually combat the drug epidemic. He’s pardoned literal drug traffickers and killed people who aren’t even carrying fentanyl.

Trump pardons major drug traffickers despite his anti-drug rhetoric

The president has granted clemency to about 100 people accused of drug-related crimes during his two terms in office, a Post analysis shows.

The UAE is the biggest and most consistent funder of the RSF's genocidal campaign in Sudan. That’s why we need to use our significant leverage and pass my Stand up for Sudan Act to block U.S. weapons sales to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF.

Sudan's bloody civil war is worsening a major humanitarian crisis

Aid delivery remains extremely difficult in violence-ridden areas, where clashes continue between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Our federal agencies are struggling to recruit and retain the AI talent we need to serve and protect the American people. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan and bicameral AI Talent Act to change that.

New bill aims to supercharge American AI talent in federal government

The AI Talent Act would establish hiring teams throughout the federal government focused on artificial intelligence talent.

“Free speech” – but only if it reflects Donald Trump’s reality and makes him look good. www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/m...

Analysis: Trump’s first year back in office contradicts his ‘free speech’ commitments | CNN Business

Nora Benavidez of the nonprofit advocacy group Free Press set out to catalog the Trump administration’s First Amendment infringements. She soon had a list of almost 200.

Donald Trump’s presidency has been great for rich people and corporations – but not the small business owners who are facing rising costs and are forced to lay off their workers to try to keep their doors open.

For small businesses hit by soaring costs, layoffs are painful and personal

Lacie Carroll-Marsh had to lay off 17 of her 31 employees this year: “We have Christmases together. And it hurts. There’s tears on both sides.”

ICE is zip-tying kids and going after your hardworking friends and neighbors – not violent criminals. Just look at the data.

Most Immigrants Arrested in City Crackdowns Have No Criminal Record

In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.

Democrats are ready to pass an ACA tax credit extension to keep people on their health care. Just saying.

Speaker Johnson just stole the opportunity for our service members to build their families through IVF. I know this is devastating news but I will never stop fighting to expand IVF.

Under Donald Trump’s presidency, costs for everything are skyrocketing and over 1 million people have lost their jobs.

Layoff announcements top 1.1 million this year, the most since 2020 pandemic, Challenger says

The firm said layoff plans totaled 71,321 in November, a step down from October but still enough to bring the 2025 total up to 1.17 million.

It’s unbelievably brazen to authorize another lethal strike when many Members of Congress – including me – believe this is illegal. These illegal strikes don’t address the fentanyl crisis, embolden our adversaries, and don’t make Americans any safer.

U.S. Southern Command says it conducted a new 'lethal kinetic strike' on alleged drug boat

The U.S. has carried out at least 22 known strikes on alleged drug traffickers in recent months.

Secretary Hegseth endangered our troops by being reckless with operational security on Signal. He’s not fit to serve our country.

Watchdog finds Hegseth violated Pentagon protocol in ‘Signalgate’ affair

The Defense Department inspector general found that the defense secretary violated protocol in his use of Signal to share highly sensitive U.S. attack plans, according to officials who have seen the r...

The shipwrecked men who survived the first U.S. strike on September 2nd were clinging to their burning boat for survival and had no radio and no means to fire back. Firing on them again is illegal under both U.S. and international law.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...

I’m so saddened by the passing of a Marine at Camp Pendleton this week, and my heart goes out to their loved ones. I’m hopeful that we can learn from this investigation to prevent future training accidents and to ensure the safety of our Marines.

Marine dies in training exercise at Camp Pendleton

A U.S. Marine died during a training exercise Wednesday at Camp Pendleton, military officials said.

I led a Congressional oversight visit at the USCIS San Diego Field Office to learn more about questionable arrests made by ICE during routine immigration interviews and found their responses wholly insufficient. We need more answers and more accountability. This has to stop.

Republicans in Congress have repeatedly gutted programs that fight hunger. I’m grateful that organizations like Produce for Good, which operates in food recovery and assistance, are stepping up in our community – but we need Congress to restore federal funding for food programs like SNAP.

Raise your hand if you got your flu shot 🙋‍♀️ If not, there’s no time like the present!

San Diego flu vaccination rates lag as severe strain spreads

The IDF reportedly killed 2 kids getting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father. 300+ Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began. We still need the Block the Bombs Act to hold the IDF accountable and push for adherence to the ceasefire.

Israeli attack kills two children in Gaza, medics say

An Israeli attack killed two children in Gaza on Saturday, medics and relatives said, in violence that has persisted in the Palestinian enclave despite a fragile ceasefire.

“Americans are spending more but getting less.” The Art of the Deal in action!

You’re paying more for less this shopping season. Now there’s proof | CNN Business

Black Friday once again proved that Americans are willing to shop when they spot bargains.
