America is safer when we live up to our values – and that means standing up to dictators and defending democracy. The American people still stand with Ukraine.

So great to talk with nearly 7,000 San Diegans tonight about what I’m doing to protect the most marginalized people in our community and the programs we rely on from President Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks.
Lemon Grove School District’s new and improved Early Childhood Education Center is now open! I’m so proud that I secured over $2 million in federal funds for this center and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things these kids will accomplish thanks to this high-quality care and learning.
My statement on President Trump's decision to kick transgender service members out of the military:
Come with me to visit some awesome local small businesses in Mira Mesa! Thanks for having me Aloha Scent, LHK Noodle Bar, Matcha Cafe Maiko, and All Things Ube Desserts.
🚨Trump is eliminating nearly all foreign assistance – over 90% of USAID programs – including lifesaving aid like PEPFAR. No more emergency food aid from US farmers, aid that prevents deadly diseases from reaching the USA, or counterterrorism programs. This must be reversed NOW.
Please join me this Thursday, Feb. 27, for a Telephone Town Hall! I’ll share an update and answer your questions about how I’m fighting back against President Trump and Elon Musk.

I had a lot of fun at the Lemon Grove Black History Empowerment Celebration this past weekend! Especially in dark times, finding joy in dance, music, art, food, and community is an act of resistance.
So great to meet some 7th graders at Lewis Middle School after getting letters from them! This was one of the most thoughtful, informed classes I’ve ever visited and I loved answering their questions on everything from lowering health care costs to gun violence prevention in Sudan.
Brittany is still a hero and Republicans won’t let anything stop them from cutting your Medicaid.
For those watching at home: a new mom with her 1-month-old baby just flew across the country to save millions of Americans from losing their Medicaid.
Rep. Brittany Pettersen is a hero (and Congress should support our bill to allow proxy voting for new parents bc she shouldn’t have to be)
House Republicans want to cut *at least* $880 billion from Medicaid – but they could cut up to $2.5 trillion just from Medicaid alone. That would mean cuts to coverage, cuts to benefits, and cuts to hospital payments. I’m voting no.
The average SNAP (or Cal-Fresh) benefit per person per day is around $7. That can’t even get you a carton of eggs right now. So no, I’m not going to vote for House Republicans’ budget that would cut that number even further to fund tax cuts for the rich and powerful.
Republicans’ budget proposal will mean devastating cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP (aka Medi-Cal and Cal-Fresh in California), which will hurt so many people. I’m voting no.
In San Diego County, 1 in 6 people rely on Medicaid. I won’t vote for more people in our community to lose their health insurance, fewer benefits from home-based care to dental, or more hospital closures. That’s why I’m voting against House Republicans’ budget today.
Come along for my visits to two amazing small businesses in Miramar – Duck Foot Brewing Co. and Abbey's Real Texas BBQ!
It was great to attend the Linda Vista Town Council meeting to share updates on federal funding for the Linda Vista Branch Library, how I’m leading oversight of Trump and Elon Musk’s actions, and the importance of U.S. foreign assistance.
UC San Diego is one of the country’s top recipients of NIH grants – propelling forward their innovative research and cures. But all that’s at risk now because of cuts to NIH funding. That’s why I joined UCSD students to talk about what we’re doing to protect these funds.
People are scared about what Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts and policy changes mean for their health and their kids’ lives. So I was glad to join Tierrasanta Community Council’s meeting to share what I’m doing to fight back – from oversight to legislation to lawsuits.
It was great to address the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers’ meeting to share how Trump and DOGE’s actions – like mass firings, federal funding freeze, and targeting of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security – aren’t pro-worker and aren’t lowering the cost of living.
