It was so wonderful to meet these kids at the Chinese Bilingual Preschool in Kearny Mesa and read to them! This school integrates Mandarin and English into its curriculum and was the first English-Mandarin immersion program for preschoolers in the county when it opened in 2011.

Donald Trump says he doesn’t think about Americans’ finances when it comes to the Iran war. And I *know* he’s not thinking about our troops.
And that kinda makes sense coming from a draft dodger who’s now cashing in on the presidency.

We’ve spent billions of dollars and lost 13 American service members, and Iran still reportedly has substantial missile capabilities. Donald Trump shouldn’t have initiated this war in the first place, but now he needs to end the war quickly and permanently.
U.S. Intelligence Shows Iran Retains Substantial Missile Capabilities

More confirmation of what we all know: guards in ICE facilities are increasingly relying on physical force or chemical agents to control detainees.
We need to dismantle and overhaul ICE and get accountability for all the hurt and pain they've caused.

Gas in San Diego County alone has gone up $1.53 since Donald Trump’s war in Iran started…and that’s not even the biggest jump in the country. He needs to end this war permanently and he needs to do it now.

Gas prices across the country, after declining some of April, are up again.

Donald Trump promised Americans wouldn’t pay for his policies – but we have.
Tariffs? Each family has already paid $1,700.
His war in Iran? Gas, groceries, and utility costs are through the roof.
His ballroom? They just asked for $1 billion in taxpayer dollars.

The Trump Administration is targeting my friend, Rep. LaMonica McIver, for doing her job conducting oversight of an ICE facility in her district. Trump's tactic is to make us feel alone and isolated – but we're not. Building community makes us stronger.
Inside the Pact to Keep a Congresswoman Out of Prison
“I think that [the Trump administration] thought they could move in ways that are cruel, targeted, and unprecedented, and that maybe no one would care.”

Most Americans say Trump isn’t mentally fit enough to be President…and yet Secretary Hegseth refused to say the same (or disagree!) when I asked him this last week.
Most Americans say Trump is mentally, physically unfit to serve effectively: Poll
A new poll found that most Americans say they believe President Trump is mentally and physically unfit to serve as commander in chief. The Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 59 pe…
