So great to meet with SEIU-UHW to hear firsthand how Republicans’ proposed Medicaid cuts would hurt their ability to care for patients. These cuts would prevent life-saving medical care and put even more strain on providers. I’m fighting every day to stop this.

I joined the Rolando Community Council meeting to share an update on what I’m doing in Congress to push back against Trump and Republicans’ attacks on our kids, health care, and democracy. Thank you for showing up, sharing your stories, and joining me in this fight.

The LGBTQ+ community – from trans service members to queer kids – deserves respect and to live free from discrimination. Our fight for equality has never been more urgent and that’s why I’m so grateful to be doing this work alongside groups like San Diego Pride.

Meet 5-year-old Delilah and 2-year-old Cesar. THESE are the faces of kids who will lose health care when Republicans cut at least $880 billion from Medicaid/Medi-Cal. @padilla.senate.gov and I will keep sharing these amazing stories and fighting for everyone who relies on Medicaid.

Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of building a single-family home in the U.S. by $7,500 - $10,000. Just one way these tariffs are going to be paid by Americans. San Diego’s housing prices are already way too high, and this will only make them worse.
Tariffs on lumber and appliances set stage for higher costs on new homes and remodeling projects

Some of my Republican colleagues in Congress have told me Trump defying a court order was their red line. Well, it's happening - but where are they? We need to hold their feet to the fire. Our Constitution is at stake.

There's no better time for House Republicans to be on the right side of history and cosponsor my bill – H.R. 1196, the Protect U.S. National Security Act – to prohibit funds from being used to eliminate USAID. 👀
Judge rules DOGE's USAID dismantling likely violates the Constitution
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the Constitution in an order that blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Effic...

Amazing to see the courts stand on the side of our transgender service members who are talented, skilled, and have sacrificed so much for all of us.
Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s ban on transgender service members, saying it’s ‘soaked in animus’ | CNN Politics
A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.

In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution. Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.
White House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies Act
Trump officials said the deportations don’t violate a judge’s order barring use of the Alien Enemies Act for removals — but also questioned the order’s validity.

So great to talk with folks at BAPAC SD who were rightfully worried about Trump and Musk’s attacks on our democracy and critical services. But we aren’t powerless. We are fighting back through legislation, litigation, oversight, and public pressure.

Trump is gutting the Department of Education, which supports students, prevents discrimination, and funds afterschool and summer programs. In #CA51, that cuts: - $82 million for students with disabilities - $33 million to feed kids at school - $28.4 million for low-income Title I schools

I’ll do the math: that’s $1,829 per month for infant care and $1,085 per month for a 4-year old’s care. A stark reminder from @epi.org of just how unaffordable child care in California is. We need a universal, affordable child care system NOW.
