    I’m relieved that no one was hurt and there’s no active threat to the Islamic Center of San Diego. But we urgently have to address the anti-Muslim and anti-Islam hatred brewing in our community and across the U.S. Everyone, no matter their faith, should be able to live in peace.

    It was great to join the SD Regional Chamber of Commerce for their annual Congressional Luncheon to hear from local business leaders and share how I’m working to support and strengthen our local workforce and business community.

    I am relieved by the agreement to end the war in Iran, but we also need to remember how we got here. Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and then started this unnecessary, costly, and deadly war of choice.

    On the 14th anniversary of DACA, the program is under siege. USCIS is intentionally delaying the process and failing to process renewals so folks have lost their jobs while waiting in limbo. They deserve stability and pathways to citizenship.

    The leader of Tren de Aragua was responsible for human and drug trafficking and horrific violence. He should have been held accountable in a court of law, not in a rogue display of bravado. Ignoring these rules makes them less effective at protecting us.

    The Trump Administration is continuing to sink to new lows – deporting people to countries where they have no ties, support, or protections. They just sent two dozen people to the Central African Republic, where they’re likely to face human rights abuses.

    It’s a full-scale cover up INSIDE THE SITUATION ROOM to conceal the Epstein Files. Don’t give up. Keep the pressure on.

    I don’t know why Trump recently needed to see 22 specialists… But I will point out that many Americans could never afford to see 22 doctors in one year – especially after Trump and Republicans cut health care for millions of people.

    It’s no wonder that so many people – especially young people – are disillusioned with our country right now. Look around. The American dream isn’t attainable and our systems are failing to deliver solutions. We need to change that.

    It’s not a coincidence that the FBI just raided the offices of an organization that led one of Ohio’s biggest 2024 voter registration efforts. This is all about suppressing and silencing voters, nothing more.

    It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses. It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.
