Before the U.S. toppled Maduro in Venezuela, Donald Trump tipped off Big Oil companies, but not Congress. Today, he’s meeting with Big Oil again. Congress hasn’t authorized any U.S. action – but Big Oil has a seat at the table. This is what an oligarchy looks like.

HHS just weakened its vaccine recommendations for the flu at the same time the flu is reaching the highest levels in the U.S. in 25 years. This is a recipe for disaster.

Flu reaches highest levels in the US in 25 years | CNN

Flu continues to visit misery across the US, with all but four states showing high or very high levels of activity as a new virus strain called subclade K continues to spread.

We all saw the video with our own eyes. We won’t be gaslit by this cruel and violent Administration or its propaganda machine. Rest in power, Renee Nicole Good.

DHS says woman attempted to run over ICE officers before being shot in Minneapolis. Here’s what the videos show. | CNN

Three videos taken of the scene and reviewed by CNN show nuance. What took place prior to the shooting remains unclear.

The Senate voted to advance a war powers resolution to block U.S. military action against Venezuela without Congressional approval. The House must do the same immediately to reassert our constitutional role and prevent further escalation and instability.

Republicans in Congress created a crisis by REFUSING to extend the ACA health care tax credits. But today, Democrats are forcing a vote to bring down the costs of millions of Americans’ insurance. My Republican colleagues have one last chance to get this right. VOTE YES.

House poised to approve 3-year Affordable Care Act tax credit extension

The House is on track to approve a three-year extension of expired health care tax credits, with a growing number of Republicans poised to back the measure.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 7(source)

Power and corruption are a trademark of Trump’s policies – and Venezuela is no different. This isn’t about democracy, drugs, or energy costs. It’s about Trump’s power grab and Big Oil profits, no matter the cost to U.S. service members, Venezuelans, or our standing in the world.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 7(source)

ICE just murdered a legal observer in Minnesota. She was driving away from the scene, not towards law enforcement, so any "self-defense" claims are bogus. This is what a police state looks like – and Secretary Noem and President Trump are responsible.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 7(source)

I don’t ever want to hear any “pro-family” bullshit from this Administration ever again. Cutting off $10 billion for child care in California and 4 other blue states will make kids, parents, families, and providers suffer. This is disgusting political retribution.

Federal inaction and the lack of strong guardrails for AI systems are making women and children less safe online. Companies have proven they can’t or won’t do the right thing so Congress needs to set guardrails for AI to protect people’s rights and safety.

Elon Musk's Grok AI floods X with sexualized photos of women and minors

When contacted by Reuters for comment by email, xAI replied with the message "Legacy Media Lies."

Congress needs to rein in Donald Trump’s power because he won’t stop at Venezuela – Greenland, Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba could all be next. The Senate is voting on a war powers resolution this week; the House must do the same.

Our democratic institutions may be bent, but they’re not broken. And I will keep working to try and strengthen them.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

We still need accountability from the foot soldiers all the way to the top. And importantly, we need to heal the deep divisions and feelings of mistrust and resentment in our country. We need to see the people we disagree with as our friends, peers, and neighbors, not our enemies.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

But all hope isn’t lost. Before Congress, I worked on post-coup transitions and responses to electoral violence and violent extremism at the United Nations and the State Department. So I know that there is a way to heal, repair, and move forward – even 5 years later.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

Instead of taking steps to get accountability, justice, and safeguard our democracy, many Republicans have doubled down. Speaker Johnson refuses to acknowledge the Capitol Police’s bravery that day and Donald Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people involved in the attack.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

In the 5 years since January 6th, 2021, there’s been a lot of distorting and denying what happened. But I was in the House Gallery when insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol. It wasn’t peaceful or normal and if a few more things had gone wrong, we could’ve lost our democracy.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

Let’s put things into perspective: -Over 75% of U.S. homes are unaffordable -Child care costs more than college in 38 states -Health care premiums just spiked for millions of Americans And Donald Trump hasn’t ruled out boots on the ground in Venezuela for oil and regime change.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 5(source)

You never know if what Donald Trump says is actually true, but I’m glad that my office just got confirmation that these troops are indeed heading home.

Trump says he's ending push for National Guard in Chicago, LA and Portland

Trump announced Dec. 31 that he's ending his push to deploy National Guard to Democratic-led cities but vowed to send them back if crime rises.

Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda is ripping apart families and terrorizing our communities. Now, he wants to up the ante, spending $100 million of taxpayer dollars to recruit even more ICE agents.

ICE plans $100 million ‘wartime recruitment’ push targeting gun shows, military fans for hires

An internal ICE document shared among immigration officials details plans to use influencers and geo-targeted ads to rapidly hire thousands of deportation officers.

The wealth gap is out of control. America’s tech billionaires are raking in record profits while many Americans are working two or three jobs to make ends meet. And how do Republicans in Congress respond? By making tax cuts for the rich permanent.

The world’s richest added a record $2.2 trillion in wealth this year—but they’ve increasingly lost faith in the American Dream | Fortune

The “everyday millionaire” population is exploding, and the rich added a record haul themselves this year. But where do they want to live?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 5(source)

19 states are raising their minimum wage in 2026 – but the federal minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25, far below what’s needed to survive. All workers, no matter what state they live in, deserve a living wage.

Minimum wage just went up in 19 states—workers in one state are getting a $2 an hour raise

More than 8.3 million workers are expected to benefit from minimum wage hikes in 19 states including Arizona, California, Michigan, New Jersey and New York.
