Nearly 20 DACA recipients have been abducted by ICE. Dozens more immigrant youth have been detained. We won’t stop fighting to protect them and one day, we WILL pass the American Dream and Promise Act to give them the safety, legal certainty, and pathway to citizenship they need.

Stop Abducting Immigrant Youth! - Home is Here

A really important reminder in these times: just because Trump *says* something, that doesn’t make it true.

Trump blames Tylenol for autism. Science doesn't back him up

Massive cuts to food assistance programs like SNAP mean more people (including kids and seniors) will go hungry. Cancelling the annual hunger report doesn’t erase people who are hungry and won’t shield Republicans from the consequences of their actions.

Trump administration cancels annual hunger report after enacting historic cuts to nation’s safety net | CNN

The Trump administration is terminating the federal government’s annual report on food insecurity in America, saying it had become “redundant, costly and politicized” and noting that “extraneous studi...

I had so much fun at the Adams Avenue Street Fair last weekend! It was good to see so many people out in our community enjoying great live music (over 75 musical acts!) and supporting our local small business vendors.

I was honored to congratulate the graduates of the HOPE (Hispanas Organized for Political Equality) Leadership Institute including Stephanie, Kelly, and Karen from San Diego. They're already incredible leaders and I'm grateful for their commitment to serving our community.

The Trump Administration is all about “enforcing the law” – but will ignore due process, human rights, humanitarian standards, and international law to supposedly do it.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

Fact check: President Trump has NOT ended the war in eastern DRC. Also: Egypt and Ethiopia were not at war and President Trump has not brokered any deal to end the tensions between them.

Two countries signed a peace deal in Washington. On the ground, little has changed | CNN

In the mineral-rich eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, new recruits are being trained for battle – and US President Donald Trump’s claimed peace deal for the nation feels like a distant dream.

State censorship of the media to kill negative stories and control the narrative is about as un-American as you can get.

If publicly pressuring the U.S. Attorney General to leverage the Justice Department to prosecute political opponents isn’t authoritarian, what is?

Trump publicly pushes Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political foes

Alongside the extraordinary demand, the president also named his former defense attorney late Saturday to replace the head of a key prosecutor’s office he forced out a day earlier.

President Trump and the Republican Party have really lost the plot on lowering costs. Trump is too busy cutting taxes for billionaires, slapping on tariffs, getting rich off crypto, and seizing power to care about you. This is Trump’s economy – not yours.

Many Americans can’t buy homes, get jobs or move in this stuck economy

Many Americans feel stuck economically due to high borrowing costs, fewer job openings and uncertainty.

The Trump Administration has refused to send a bipartisan congressional delegation to the UN this year — blocking my official participation but not my Republican counterpart’s. This isn’t the strong showing of unity and cooperation that we need at the UN.

It was so fun meeting the 4th graders at Foster Elementary School! They were so engaged and excited to talk about the three branches of government and my job as a Member of Congress, which they're learning about in social studies.

It was great to celebrate 20 years of College-Rolando Branch Library! Our public libraries are institutions of democracy, inclusion, and free thought where people of all kinds can build community. We need great libraries like this one now more than ever.

A lesser-known benefit of Medicaid was that it helped people find and stay in stable housing. Republicans just gutted Medicaid – potentially pushing more people into homelessness.

Trump’s Medicaid Cuts Could Hamper Efforts to House the Homeless

HALF of all children in the U.S. get their health insurance through Medicaid. Families with kids already dealing with medical conditions will now have to face losing insurance and care after Republicans’ passed their Big Ugly Law and gutted Medicaid.

She was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 11. Trump’s Medicaid cuts could end her life-saving treatment

Half of all US children are covered through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Chip), making kids particularly vulnerable under the new Republican budget

70 million people with disabilities and serious medical conditions receive in-home care assistance they otherwise could not afford without Medicaid. This is about survival AND quality of life. By gutting Medicaid, Republicans' Big Ugly Law threatens both. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Text reads: Medicaid has been a godsend that Bolduc says lets her family enjoy a good quality of life, despite the medical challenges. “We have friends and family. We interact with neighbors. We have our dogs. We have a good life despite our challenges,” she says.

“And we provide employment for five people who work as attendants for Bruce and Tiffany. While I provide the vast majority of Bruce’s care and oversee Tiffany’s care, I simply cannot provide that level of care without help. And all of their attendants would lose their job.”

The potential gutting of Medicaid is terrifying to Bolduc. [yellow highlight begins] “Without Medicaid, I honestly don’t know how we would survive. Bruce would die within months,” [yellow highlight ends] she says.

I was happy to join folks at Ward Canyon Park for a community cleanup last weekend. Thanks to SD City Councilmember @seanelorivera.bsky.social for organizing this alongside several great organizations!
