I thank my colleague for bringing this forward. The Marines United website was a disgusting breach of trust, and I immediately called for the perpetrators to be prosecuted. I appreciate General Neller coming to Congress earlier this year…
Every day men and women in the police force put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Let me tell you about one of these extraordinary heroes: San Diego Police Department Officer Jonathan De Guzman, or JD, as his friends knew him. JD…
Recently I met with leaders of the San Diego medical research community who had a unified message: We need to end the cuts in research that have slowed medical innovation for the last decade. This year I was proud to lead the bipartisan…

We are actually talking about two of these joint resolutions, both H.J. Res. 57 and H.J. Res. 58, and are looking at accountability measures. Sometimes I think people forget, actually, that the first time that Common Core was mentioned in…
Whatever you call the President's recent executive orders, the reality is that they constitute a Muslim ban. Yesterday, one of my constituents was crossing the border into San Diego when he was singled out for having brown skin. He was…
