Donald Trump just signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law — but what happens next?

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

Head Start is critical for our community. But the Trump Administration -- that tried to defund Head Start earlier in the year with the preliminary budget -- is now refusing to acknowledge the rise in inflation that has put the program in danger.

San Diego County Head Start cut services amid flat federal funding

The program provides free child care, meals and health care for thousands of local kids.

The Trump Administration’s repeated attacks on trans Americans are cruel and blatantly discriminatory, and this new passport rule is no exception.

New Passport Rule Sends Blunt and Sweeping Message to Trans Americans

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

The pain millions of Americans felt during the government shutdown after Trump illegally withheld SNAP benefits was sadly just a preview of what’s coming over the next few months. Trump’s Big Ugly Bill made the biggest cuts to SNAP in history. He’s creating a hunger crisis.

Food stamps are back, but millions will soon lose benefits permanently

Even though the shutdown is over, the GOP’s signature tax and spending law is poised to kick people off the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

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

From Charlotte to Chicago to California — Trump is weaponizing ICE to incite fear in communities across our country. They’re sweeping up U.S. citizens and immigrants with no criminal records. They’re using violent tactics that threaten public safety. Rein in ICE now.

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

Any move to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia ignores years of civilian harm in Yemen and the need for real accountability. Transferring one of the world’s most advanced weapons systems without clear safeguards undermines U.S. values and puts more innocent lives at risk.

U.S. will sell Saudi Arabia advanced F-35 fighter jets, Trump says

Israel is the only country in the Middle East with access to the F-35.

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

Let this moment be a reminder that Trump is NOT immune to public pressure. We the people have power – and we won’t stop fighting until real justice and accountability are served.

Trump Bows to Reality in Epstein Reversal, Beating a Rare Retreat

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

The House of Representatives is about to vote on a measure to force Trump’s DOJ to release the Epstein files. I will be voting YES. I hope all my colleagues – Democrats AND Republicans – join me.

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

Democrats want to lower your health care costs. Republicans want to raise your rates and/or kick you off your health care completely and/or strip you of your freedom to make reproductive health decisions for yourself, no matter where you live.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds

Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

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

Reminder: President Trump could order the DOJ to release the Epstein files TODAY, no vote by Congress required. He hasn't had a change of heart, he's just saying whatever it takes to cover his own ass.

Trump says he would sign bill to release Epstein files if it reaches his desk

Trump said he would sign the bill to compel the Justice Department to release all files relating sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if it comes to his desk.

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

Reminder: President Trump could order the DOJ to release the Epstein files TODAY, no vote by Congress required. This flip flop is about Trump trying to protect himself — nothing new.

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

Open enrollment is in full swing but Republicans in Congress continue to hold up legislation that would extend critical tax credits to lower health care costs. San Diegans with Covered California health insurance plans are seeing average rate increases of 76%.

Turns out sneaking in a last minute provision that lets Republican Senators sue the government for $500,000 each while raising the cost of health care for millions of Americans and failing to address affordability in any way is a “political liability.” Go figure.

Senators distance themselves from controversial payout provision

Only one Republican senator has public plans to sue under new legislative language House Republicans are now seeking to scrap.

Who’s benefiting the most from Kristi Noem’s cosplaying? Her own inner circle. This is blatant corruption – and it’s completely on brand for the Trump Administration. It’s ALWAYS a grift.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

It’s wildly unacceptable to crack down on LEGAL immigration and people getting their green cards the right way. My office is looking into this.

San Diego immigration attorneys report clients detained during green card interviews in crackdown

Immigration attorneys in San Diego say their clients are being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during routine green card interviews.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 15(source)

Instead of feeding hungry Americans, the Trump Administration is more focused on treating SNAP participants like political pawns and making them jump through more hoops.

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits

Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 15(source)

The Trump Administration is enabling torture and sexual assault. Many of the people they’ve shipped out to CECOT are asylum seekers. Half had no criminal record whatsoever. These mass deportations to third-party countries must end.

Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador endured systematic torture, report finds

Human rights groups accuse Trump officials of complicity and draw comparison with scandal at Abu Ghraib prison

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

Offshore drilling in California is a recipe for disaster. It’s taxpayers – not big oil companies – who end up paying for the clean-up of inevitable leaks and spills that hurt our wildlife and coastal communities.

Trump plan would open California to offshore oil drilling

A draft five-year plan for offshore oil development proposes selling leases on the West Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.

I was glad to join American Legion Post 303 to recognize Veterans Day and pay tribute to everyone who has worn our country’s uniform and the families who have stood beside them. It was also my honor to recognize Fred Green, El Cajon American Legion’s Veteran of the Year!
