Republicans in Congress have failed the American people.

The ACA’s enhanced subsidies are expiring at year’s end. Here’s what you need to know | CNN Politics

The cavalry is not coming to save the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium subsidies before they lapse at year’s end. And while the House is expected to vote in January on a Democratic proposal to e...

The American people aren’t buying this. “Affordability” can’t be a “con job” one minute and then a reality the next. Costs are out of control and Donald Trump is in charge. He’s to blame.

Trump debuted a new affordability script. It’s unclear to advisers whether he’ll stick to it | CNN Politics

The White House is heading into a critical midterm year beset by economic challenges, as it tries to manage stubbornly high prices, a frustrated electorate and a commander-in-chief who struggles to sh...

Trans kids deserve access to life-saving health care and doctors deserve to provide care without being policed by the Trump Administration. This cruel weaponization of the federal government will have devastating effects.

Trump Moves to End Gender-Related Care for Minors, Threatening Hospitals That Offer It

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 22(source)

Our service members, who’ve sacrificed so much for all of us, deserve every opportunity to build their families – including through IVF. I will keep fighting for them to get this health care coverage.

U.S. lawmakers renew pursuit for expanded IVF coverage for military families

About 1 in 4 service members and their spouses report infertility.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 21(source)

Trump’s whole strategy is gaslighting you into thinking everything is fine. It’s not.

Trump's Christmas message: Things are better than you think

Trump's 18-minute address was essentially the speech he was expected to give last week in Pennsylvania, where he went off-script.

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

The rise of AI is making Jewish people actively less safe so I’m proud to introduce a bipartisan resolution so we can ensure that AI is not a vehicle for antisemitism.

House resolution calls for safeguards to address antisemitism in artificial intelligence

Rep. Sara Jacobs told JI that the resolution is a ‘first step’ to highlight bipartisan consensus on the issue

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

We want ALL the Epstein files, not just some. We won’t stop until we get full transparency, accountability, and justice.

DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files

The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

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

The unemployment rate is at a 4-year high. American families paid $1,200 extra this year because of Donald Trump’s tariffs. Over 75% of homes in America are unaffordable. Explain to me again how this is an “A+++++” economy??

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

Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda is ripping apart families and forcing teenagers to be the new caretakers of the family. This is inhumane and anti-family.

US immigration crackdown forces teens to caretake after parents are detained

As federal agents target families, teens are left to care for siblings – from accessing bank accounts to medical records

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

That’s why I will be voting YES on Ranking Member McGovern’s resolution to prevent this reckless war and direct the President to remove hostilities within or against Venezuela until Congress passes an AUMF, as required by our Constitution.

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

The American people didn’t vote for another war – especially one that creates more problems and doesn’t solve any. It won’t address our fentanyl crisis. Regime change is a terrible idea. And it’s not worth the tremendous cost to our service members.

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

And last night, in another act of escalation, President Trump announced a “total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into, and out of, Venezuela” – which could be an act of war itself.

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

He keeps pointing to fentanyl, even calling it a weapon of mass destruction, but Venezuela plays virtually no role in producing or trafficking fentanyl. In the Vanity Fair profile, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles even suggested that the ultimate goal is to topple President Maduro.

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

That’s why I take decisions about whether or not to go to war so seriously. But unfortunately, President Trump doesn’t. He’s inventing excuses to justify a war with Venezuela and keeps taking unauthorized, illegal steps to provoke one.

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

The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Venezuela – or with anyone – without thorough debate, deliberation, and explicit congressional authorization. These decisions have deep consequences for our service members and the communities abroad whose homes, families, and futures are upended.

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

All the evidence and anecdotes point to the same reality: Trump’s trade wars and tariffs are coming at the cost of American farmers and American consumers. President Trump isn’t lowering your costs – he’s raising them and making life unaffordable.

With federal relief on the horizon, Black farmers worry it won't come soon enough

At the National Black Growers Council meeting in New Orleans, Black farmers respond to the $12 billion in tariff relief announced by the Trump administration and outline challenges farms are facing.

Trump has accepted $300 million from corporations and CEOs in order to demolish part of the White House and build his ballroom. We’re already seeing government handouts to these billionaires and get ready for more.

These are the 37 donors helping pay for Trump's $300 million White House ballroom

The White House's list of 37 donors to President Donald Trump's $300 million ballroom project includes crypto billionaires, powerful financiers, tobacco companies, tech giants, media companies, longti...

I just introduced the Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act with Reps. Nick LaLota, Jen Kiggans, and Chrissy Houlahan as a new, standalone, *bipartisan* bill to expand TRICARE coverage of IVF for service members and their dependents. We won’t stop fighting for this!

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

Cutting 35,000 jobs at the VA won’t improve the quality or efficiency of health care for veterans – but it will worsen existing problems. This is the fundamentally wrong approach to delivering the best possible care to our veterans.

VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs

Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 16(source)

The Trump Administration is cancelling naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies at the last minute to delay people from becoming U.S. citizens. We should be expanding and reforming legal pathways to citizenship – not closing them off.

Naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies canceled across the nation, in San Diego

Immigrants who made it through the process of becoming naturalized citizens are seeing their oath ceremonies being canceled amid the Trump Administration's crackdown.
