    DC is for weekdays, but I stayed today so we could vote to reopen government. Now the Senate is closed until Thursday. When Trump wants to talk seriously about 21st century border security (not a $30B medieval wall), we can get our government going & our workers their paychecks.

    Last month, the national debt surpassed $21.8 trillion. That’s largely due to the Republican tax bill that became law one year ago. Tax cuts still don’t pay for themselves. It's time Congress passed a real budget and made fiscally responsible choices.

    veterans served our country honorably, but we failed them. I joined a bipartisan group of my Veteran’s Committee colleagues to urge the Senate to pass the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act and give our heroes the care they earned. They can’t wait any longer.

    Homeless Persons' Memorial Day remembers those lost to violence and poor health--victims of our failure to address homelessness. San Diego must learn from the deadly Hep A crisis we experienced last year that left too many vulnerable.

    President Trump is jeopardizing government funding over the construction of a wasteful monument to himself and congressional Republicans are complicit. I came here to make government work and stand ready to find a consensus that keeps the government open.

    I’m alarmed the VA would not spend funds allocated for suicide prevention outreach when 20 veterans die by suicide each day. The president must hold his administration accountable for the irresponsible findings in this report.

    Spoke with about the potential government shutdown and how it would hurt San Diegans. The American people expect us to make government work, not shut it down. Holding government services hostage to a border wall is not good governance.

    While I agree with the intent of this decision, it raises serious legal questions since DOJ previously said existing laws could not be applied to bump stocks. Congress must pass a bill to codify the ban in law.
