Right now, Senate Democrats are forcing Republicans to vote on a huge slate of amendments.
For the record, Republicans are PRO: kicking millions off of Medicaid, hospital closures, gutting SNAP, slashing clean energy programs, and huge tax breaks for the ultra rich.

Food insecurity in San Diego has risen to levels we haven’t seen since the pandemic.
Why? Because of inflation, tariffs, rising costs, and supply chain issues.
What’s the GOP’s response? To cut SNAP, our best program to address food insecurity.🤦♀️
The facts are in: ICE isn’t going after criminals. We should expand legal pathways for undocumented people who aren’t criminals and who contribute to our economy – instead of deporting them.
I didn't hear anything from the classified briefing that convinced me Iran's uranium stockpiles were destroyed or that there was an imminent threat.
So bottom line: Trump's strikes were reckless, unnecessary, unconstitutional, and will make it harder to get a verifiable deal.
Every month, the San Diego Food Bank serves more than 400,000 San Diegans.
If the Senate version of the budget bill passes, that number will grow. This bill would worsen food insecurity, raise demand, and make food bank lines longer.
Republicans are doing everything they can to pass a bill that will gut health care access for millions of people across the country, including 5-year-old Delilah and 2-year-old Cesar.
Food insecurity is rising in all 50 states, and yet the Senate’s budget bill would enact the biggest cut to SNAP ever.
It would cut food assistance for:
❌Veterans
❌People who are homeless
❌Youth aging out of foster care
❌Stay-at-home parents
I had a great time celebrating Juneteenth last week at Chollas Lake! There were amazing local vendors, music, activities, and history. Even in these dark times, the joy and resilience of our community in San Diego shine through.
I was happy to join the long-running Cooper Family Foundation’s Juneteenth Celebration last weekend! The best antidote to the authoritarian attacks we’re facing is to build community, find strength in our diversity, and learn from our history.
The fight isn’t over. The merits battle now heads back to the lower courts – and we’ll be there every step of the way to defend the promise of the 14th Amendment.
On process, this ruling also makes it so much harder to undo any future unconstitutional actions by the president – basically, it will take a class action lawsuit in order to get broad relief across the country.
No vote. No passport. No equal protection. Limited due process. A safety net yanked away. That’s the human cost of eliminating birthright citizenship.
It would forever change who feels like they can belong, participate, and be protected here.
If President Trump ever managed to derail that promise, it would create a new sub-class of millions of people who were born here in the United States, but don’t have the same rights and benefits of citizenship.
Any effort to end birthright citizenship is flat-out unconstitutional.
It’s right there in the 14th Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the U.S. … are citizens.”
The Supreme Court just released its opinion in the birthright citizenship case.
Here’s the big takeaway: the Court tightened the rules on when a single judge can issue a nationwide injunction, instead of deciding the fate of birthright citizenship. That’s still a big problem.
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
It was great to meet with the team at Digital Force Technologies and celebrate the expansion of their headquarters and new jobs in San Diego!
