Starting yet another forever war won’t solve violence in Nigeria; in fact, it’s likely to escalate violence further. We had diplomacy, development, and conflict-prevention tools that could’ve addressed root causes, but Donald Trump slashed them.

I joined Feeding San Diego to distribute food in Sorrento Valley to our neighbors who are struggling to put food on the table — all because Republicans have refused to reopen the government. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up for our community right now.
I was proud to join Teamsters Local 542 for Veterans Appreciation Day. Working people keep our country running and it’s our veterans who have kept us safe. I'm so grateful for their service to our country and our community.
I will always be grateful that I learned how to lead in Congress with fortitude, poise, and grit from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. She is the most accomplished Speaker of our generation and many young girls including me knew that we could be a leader because of her.
I joined the San Diego Food Bank for an emergency food distribution for federal workers, military families, and everyone needing some extra help right now. It shouldn’t take a court order to force the Trump Administration to do the right thing and even partially fund SNAP.
Now let’s do the nation. Free, universal child care is the proactive, pro-economy, pro-family vision we need for the future.
Republicans just tied the record for the longest U.S. government shutdown in history because they refuse to extend lifesaving ACA premium tax credits for millions of Americans like Stacy Cox.
Hint: If it takes a court order to force you to not let 40 million people starve, then you’re the villain of the story.
Our child care system is very broken. We need bold solutions.
That's why I introduced the LEGACY Act – to tax trust fund kids more and invest that money to build a free, federal, universal, and multimodal child care system.
Cartels pose a serious problem – but illegally bombing criminals to fix a drug epidemic is not the solution, and it makes border communities like mine in San Diego a bigger target for retaliation.
Donald Trump campaigned on ending the forever wars but he’s launched unconstitutional strikes on Iran and illegal strikes in the Caribbean. He wants to test nuclear weapons again – and now he’s threatening to go to war with Nigeria. This is reckless and doesn’t make us any safer.
Democrats need a vision for the future that matches people’s reality and delivers urgent solutions. I’m proud to be part of this new generation of leaders that’s working to do just that.
Undocumented immigrants are not and have never been eligible for federal SNAP benefits. So when Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP and when they slow-roll funding for SNAP, they’re hurting American citizens only.
Republicans in Congress are so hell-bent on taking away Americans’ health care that they don’t care about costing the economy $14 billion to do it. But yeah….sure…they’re “fiscally conservative.”
The numbers don’t lie.
San Diegans (and people across the country) will pay thousands of dollars more per year for health insurance unless Republicans join Democrats in Congress to extend the ACA premium tax credits.
Open enrollment for 2026 has started. We need action NOW.
Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.
The truth is that health insurance costs are about to DOUBLE for millions of Americans. That’s a HUGE issue.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Democrats have a plan to keep these costs down. Republicans need to get on board.
Open enrollment for ACA marketplace health insurance plans starts today.
Millions of people are about to realize (if they haven't already) that their premiums are going to cost WAY more in 2026 because Republicans are refusing to renew critical tax credits.
This is a crisis.
Republicans would rather stop SNAP than pass a bill that allows millions of people to afford health care and reopens the government.
Democrats are fighting for your health, your food, your dignity, and your rights. Republicans want to take it all away.
We deserve better.
Halloween means lots of candy and treats – but do you really know what’s in this stuff?
I’m proud to be introducing my new bipartisan bill – the No Tricks on Treats Act – to require proper labeling of foods containing dyes, flavoring, and sweeteners. Happy Halloween!
