Police Week is a time to support local law enforcement and honor those we've lost in the line of duty. Among those I met this week was Chris, the father of Officer Austin Machitar, a fallen San Diego Police Department officer who made the ultimate sacrifice one year ago. His story was a powerful reminder of why this week matters so much. To every officer out there: Thank you for all that you do.

To wrap up #NationalPoliceWeek, I had the pleasure of showing San Diego law enforcement and their families around the Capitol. It was not only a great opportunity to make their trip to DC special, but to thank them for their service and dedication to keeping our community safe.

Using tear gas and pepper spray on innocent, young children is unconscionable. Instead of borrowing another $70 billion to finance more of this cruelty, Congress should pass my Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to ensure this dangerous equipment is only used against genuine threats to public safety, not our children.

San Diego is home to some of the bravest men and women in uniform. In Congress, I take that seriously. That's why I voted to fund veteran housing and mental health care programs, critical infrastructure at our military bases, and new barracks and child development centers. Congress should invest in the military community the way they've invested in us.

My office is handling more immigration casework requests right now than at any point in all my years in Congress. USCIS is failing the people it's supposed to serve, especially DACA recipients in my district who are watching their status and livelihoods hang in the balance.   They did everything right. The system is letting them down.

For the third time since the conflict in Iran started, I voted for a War Powers Resolution to rein in President Trump’s reckless war-of-choice. Here’s why 🧵⬇️

We can achieve high environmental standards and speed up the time it takes to build much-needed clean energy, housing, infrastructure, and other projects. Tune in to 72 & Sunny at the link in my bio or most podcast platforms for more q&a! https://t.co/IFGUzbTlvs

This week we learned that inflation is higher than it’s been in years - outpacing wage gains. Yet President Trump admitted he is not thinking about Americans’ financial situation even a little bit. The American people deserve better.

Our debt and deficit continues to skyrocket, leaving our children with a crushing bill. Congress needs to get serious about our fiscal future. Let’s pass my bipartisan Fiscal Commission Act and bipartisan resolution to reduce the federal deficit to 3% of GDP or less by 2030. https://t.co/3SYryqiNVH

ICYMI: Last week, I celebrated National Small Business Week in Old Town. It's important for me to visit neighborhoods throughout CA50 and hear directly from local business owners and community members as often as I can. https://t.co/NnE5eJrKAJ
