San Diegans know first-hand the consequences of climate change, from destructive wildfires and prolonged drought to dangerous heat waves and rising seas that threaten our coastline.

My constituents can’t afford more delays.

The NCRS Act would streamline resources, improve coordination, and hold agencies accountable so we can better prepare for and respond to the growing climate threats our communities face.

When President Trump took office, he promised the American people that his immigration agenda would target the 'worst of the worst,' yet this letter raises serious questions: Are the 16,000 individuals who were removed from San Diego the…

God gave the Senate six-year terms for a reason.

The campaign has been very, I think, arrogant in their response. We want to know what their plan is to win this election and turn these numbers around.

There are a lot of savings we can get now.

We are still talking not about a health care system but a sick response system.

I co-lead a bill with Congressmember Miller-Meeks that would ensure PBMs pass their discounts along to patients with chronic conditions.

I did support legislation like the bipartisan Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which passed the House late last year.

There are folks in this building who'd rather campaign on the chaos than do anything to stop it.

Democrats know that we need more resources at the southern border.

We need to make improvements, and right now, we have community-based organizations that are trying to pick up the slack.

Back home in San Diego generally we know that the border is an opportunity, not a threat.

We have to figure out a way to handle that.

I just offer to the Chair, maybe we ought to think about supporting that.

Every Democratic Presidential Administration since Kennedy has left for their Republican successors a better deficit situation than they inherited, without exception, and every Republican Administration has left for their Democratic…

Under the Democrats, we pay for new spending and we pay for tax cuts. Under Republican rule, you pay for new spending, but you do not have to pay for tax cuts.

Under Republicans, they don't pay for tax cuts, and so every time there is a tax cut, it just ruins their budget.

I hate when they say something I do takes guts. That is probably a bad signal, but I appreciate all the witnesses being here.

Look, I am frustrated with our inability to deal with this in this Congress. I came to Congress to work on things like that.

Everyone, every Republican Administration since Nixon has left for the Democratic successors a worse deficit than they inherited.

President Trump was on the way to doing that before the pandemic. President Biden is doing that already.

I get tired of being lectured by Republicans on the budget deficit.
