I visited Clairemont High and met with Jeffrey Thomas, who leads the College, Career Technical Education (CCTE) Pathway Program at SDUSD and is an active member of AFSA Local 134. It was so great to see how impactful his work with CCTE programs is for students in our district!

The Trump Administration continues to try to censor and erase history and science from our public spaces, including national parks, because it makes them uncomfortable. Shows you who the real snowflakes are.

Groups sue over Trump effort to ‘erase’ history, science in national parks

The coalition behind the lawsuit argues the alterations, or potential changes, at various parks undermine their very purpose to educate and enlighten Americans.

If you’re a U.S. citizen in Mexico and worried for your safety, here are some resources and phone numbers to get up-to-date safety information.

10-year-olds should be focused on making friends, learning, and playing – not fearing where to hide if ICE comes. ICE isn’t going after criminals or doing normal immigration enforcement; they’re terrorizing our communities and children.

ICE has kids who are US citizens fearful for their classmates and searching online for the ‘safest places to live’ | CNN

CNN spoke with families whose children were born in the United States and have become afraid of ICE. They shared how the national immigration debate is impacting them.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 19(source)

ICE is arresting countless neighbors, coworkers, parents, and family members with no criminal records. Trump is tearing communities apart and making all of us less safe. When this Administration says they’re going after “the worst of the worst,” it’s a lie.

Trump’s Deportation Stats Depend on Those With No Criminal History

If that pattern were to stop, the Trump Administration’s deportation stats would likely plummet.

After Republicans killed the ACA health care tax credits last year, people like Natalie Richards (a 37 year old single mom in Texas) are now in impossible positions. They can’t afford health care and the medicines they need to live.

A single mom's ACA premium jumped from $3 to $164. Now she's skipping her medications.

Natalie Richards, 37, said her health insurance premium skyrocketed when enhanced ACA subsidies expired. She can no longer afford her medications.

Just since October, courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that the Trump Administration is detaining immigrants illegally. They aren’t “enforcing” immigration law – they’re breaking it, in horrific and violent ways.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 18(source)

Don’t forget that in 2024, Trump asked Big Oil for $1 billion in campaign donations. His recent billion dollar handout to the coal industry and this move to gut greenhouse gas emission regulations are part of a corrupt deal.

Trump repeals U.S. government’s power to regulate climate

The Environmental Protection Agency finishes the repeal of the “endangerment finding,” a landmark legal opinion underpinning policies regulating climate change.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating in San Diego and across the world! Wishing you a blessed month of peace, reflection, and community. 🌙

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 17(source)

ICE wants to operate “like Amazon Prime, for human beings” so they're buying up warehouses for mass detention. That’s sickening, and it's even more reason to claw back the no-strings-attached billions of dollars that Republicans gave to ICE.

ICE holds people in disgusting conditions. Now it’s turning warehouses into camps | Moira Donegan

The Trump administration has bought warehouses across the US that could hold thousands. But resistance is growing

As San Diego recovers from yesterday’s storm and prepares for more incoming rain, here’s a reminder on how to report damage to the city and county. Stay safe, everyone.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a tireless champion for civil rights, equality, and justice for all. He changed the nation. His family has asked the world “to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.” May he rest in power.

Thanks to Trump, the Pentagon is now being forced to subsidize the coal industry at enormous cost to the taxpayers – and Big Coal gave him an award for it.

Trump named ‘undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal’ by industry group

Award was presented as president directed Pentagon to buy billions of dollars’ worth of energy from coal plants

We've been saying this for over a year now, but here it is again: Americans are paying the cost of Trump's tariffs.

Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 14(source)

This is why House Democrats voted to cancel Trump’s tariffs on Canada – it’s bad economic policy that hurts the American people without any strategic benefit.

New Study: Trump’s Tariffs Cost Americans $1,000 Last Year, and 2026 Will Be Worse

Everyday goods from coffee to orange juice are getting more expensive, but Trump insists his trade policies are strengthening the economy.

The effects of climate change on our health and well-being are already being felt nationwide. To lie and pretend otherwise – as the Trump Administration is doing – is negligence and an utter failure to protect Americans. Glad this will be challenged in court.

Trump repeals landmark EPA climate finding. Here's what to know.

Trump's repeal of the endangerment finding eliminates the legal basis for federal regulations that target air pollution from greenhouse gases.

Pam Bondi doesn’t give a fuck about the Epstein survivors. She couldn’t even look at them.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 13(source)

In a disgraceful waste of time, Trump just tried and failed to indict 6 of my colleagues for a video reminding service members to refuse *illegal* orders. Apparently, saying "follow the law" is a prosecutable offense but being in the Epstein files...that’s another story

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is dire. Millions of people are on the brink of death, lacking safety, shelter, food, water, and medicine. The U.S. needs to stop weapons sales and work to get all outside actors out of the conflict – starting with the UAE.

Sudan: UN rights chief says worse is to come without international action

As the brutal Sudan war shows no signs of ending, UN human rights chief Volker Türk on Monday called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop more mass killings and other flagra...
