Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress cynically set up the Big Ugly Bill so that the worst of their health care cuts and premium increases will kick in next year, AFTER the November midterm elections.

Jake Katz founded CareCrewSD as a junior in high school (at my alma mater, Torrey Pines!) to help unhoused and underserved youth in San Diego. He’s done so much to mobilize other students to get involved in our community and I’m proud to honor him as a CA-51 Outstanding Youth!

At least 3 people have died in ICE custody at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana since April – including Carlos Josue Marchena Marchena, who had Type 1 diabetes and was reportedly not receiving adequate insulin, food, or water. We need to end mass immigration detention.

It was great to join the annual I Love a Clean San Diego Coastal Cleanup Day at Rancho Mission Canyon. I love to see our community working together to make the local environment cleaner!

Trump is kicking 760,000 people off their Affordable Care Act health insurance by alleging fraud – with no specific evidence. This Administration has already kicked millions of Americans off their health care, and they’re continuing that horrible track record.

.@RepBonamici and I are committed to making child care more affordable for every family in America. I was happy to show her around a new home-based child care site opening up in Lemon Grove (with the help of $1 million I got from the federal government) while she was here in my district!

I had so much fun attending the Adams Avenue Street Fair over the weekend! It was great to see so many folks out enjoying the live music, rides, and local vendors.

Our service members know that deployments are tough – but we should never treat suicide attempts as routine or inevitable. The Navy needs to immediately rectify the issues leading to these mental health crises and ensure our service members get the care they need.

This is outrageous – and it isn’t an isolated incident.
Under Trump, many U.S. citizens and legal residents have been wrongfully swept up, detained, and even physically hurt by ICE agents. ICE is making our communities less safe and violating our rights.

A UN expert just said that U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats for the past year could be crimes against humanity. We shouldn't need more experts and reports to tell us that this is illegal and grossly undermines our credibility on the world stage.
He is not wrong.
"There are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law."

AI safety and diplomacy must be at the top of the agenda when President Trump meets with China’s President Xi Jinping. This no-holds-barred race with China over AI is leaving both our countries and the world more vulnerable. We need consistent, bilateral dialogue.

ICE is dangerous and out of control. These agents think they’re above the law, and President Trump and Republicans in Congress have given them a blank check and blind support.
Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez deserves justice – and he needs to be released for medical care.

Tierra Walker was denied an abortion even after multiple hospitalizations due to an extremely high-risk pregnancy because she lived in Texas, which bans abortion. Her son found her dead on his 15th birthday.
Abortion bans are killing women. This needs to end.

It was so great to visit these students at Bancroft Elementary School in Spring Valley! I got to make friends with the TK and Kindergarteners and hosted a mini town hall with the 5th graders, who asked so many smart questions about our government.

I visited the new San Diego Family Justice Center, also called Your Safe Place, which provides comprehensive support services to survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and gun violence – including help filing restraining orders to remove firearms from dangerous abusers.

Holding human beings in phone booth-sized cages is indefensible. This is torture. When Democrats are back in the majority in Congress, we need to end ICE’s inhumane, cruel treatment of immigrants.

This was unfortunately foreseeable. That’s why Congress needs to enact my Defense AI Reliability and Reporting Act, that was in the House-passed NDAA. It would require prompt reporting of near misses like this and a coordinated process to find and fix the underlying failures.
Exclusive: An AI-assisted intel report, circulated across the US military during the Iran war, nearly triggered an operation but was false, sources say. cnn.it/4rkGI9J
