Since January 20, too many of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans' actions have only served to break our government and hurt the American people. If you’ve been affected, please share your story here to help me best represent San Diego in Congress.

Murdering shipwrecked survivors is a clear violation of international human rights law and against American values. Sec. Hegseth and Adm. Bradley should come before Congress and explain what happened under oath.

Hegseth says U.S. has "only just begun" sinking alleged drug vessels
The strikes have killed more than 80 people in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

Curbing dangerous methane emissions is the fastest, most effective way to slow global warming. In 2021, President Biden signed my legislation to do just that. Delaying these requirements is equivalent to adding 25 million gas-powered cars to our roads.

Donald Trump just freed a narco-kingpin who helped flood the U.S. with drugs, yet still demonizes hardworking immigrants with no criminal records while deporting them for trying to build better lives.
 
Classic Trump, bending over backwards for anyone who flatters him.

President Trump’s barbaric anti-family, anti-freedom policies are killing women. There are no words to describe the pain Tierra Walker’s family and too many other families across the country are feeling. Accessible reproductive healthcare saves lives.

Happy Thanksgiving, San Diego! I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve you in the United States Congress and I wish you and your loved ones a thoughtful, special day filled with cherished traditions.

Praying for the recovery of the two National Guard members injured in yesterday’s horrific shooting in DC. My thoughts are with them and their loved ones.

Today, we must remember that hate and violence has no place in our country.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and families should be celebrating. Instead, they’re struggling with sky high prices. It’s time for the Trump Administration to get serious about tackling the cost of living and help families make ends meet this holiday season.

President Trump says he ‘“doesn’t want to hear about affordability,” but I do. Thank you to the community leaders and nonprofits who joined me for a roundtable discussion on the affordability crisis as families struggle to afford groceries and other bills this Thanksgiving.

Not only has Donald Trump waged a war no one asked for—it’s a war no one wants.
 
Americans want Trump to tackle inflation and rising costs. Instead, he's carrying out unprovoked attacks, offering little to no explanation, while also ignoring Congress’ constitutional power to declare war.
CBS News poll finds most would oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, say Trump hasn't explained
Those prioritizing economy say Trump is not spending enough time on it, as ratings of economy, his handling of inflation slip.

Mark Kelly served our country for 25 years and has led the people of Arizona with integrity and dedication.

To threaten him or insinuate that he is anything other than loyal or lawful is outrageous and self-serving.
Defense Department says it is opening an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly
The investigation is related to the Arizona senator's participation in a video Democratic lawmakers made urging members of the military not to comply with "illegal orders."

I'm glad to see the SPEED Act pass out of committee, but our work is not done yet.

As negotiations move forward, we must find the right balance to responsibly speed up the permit process to build clean energy, & I will keep pushing for bipartisan solutions that unlock America's energy potential.
A key House panel this afternoon advanced a permitting deal that included language barring Donald Trump — or any other president — from rescinding permits for energy projects: heatmap.news/energy/speed...
House Permitting Bill Would Block Trump From Pulling Permits
It was approved by the House Natural Resources Committee on Thursday by a vote of 25 to 18.

In a democratic society, we do not settle our political disagreements through violence.

This rhetoric from President Trump is dangerous and must be unequivocally rejected and condemned by every American. It is time to turn down the heat and stop encouraging this division.

The Democratic lawmakers said that members of the military can and must refuse illegal orders by their superiors.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I’m thinking about our transgender siblings taken too soon by hateful violence. No one should live in fear of being who they are. As a Vice Chair of the @equality.house.gov, I’ll always fight to protect trans lives and build a more tolerant world.

Meeting America’s affordable and reliable energy demand requires building more infrastructure. Unfortunately, these projects are dragged out for years.

We must fix our slow, outdated permit process to build clean, renewable energy faster. 1/2

Energy demand is rising, in part due to new data centers and factories. We must reform our outdated permitting processes so we can build much-needed energy projects faster, meet demand, and lower costs. Thanks to Data Center Coalition for having me yesterday to speak about my work on this and more!
