While YOUR costs have gone up on everything from food to electronics and gas, Donald Trump has raked in $1.8 billion over the past year. Who do you think he’s really working for: you or himself? www.americanprogress.org/feature/trum...

Trump’s Take: Tracking the cash and gifts made from selling the presidency.

Tracking the cash and gifts made from selling the presidency.

Donald Trump spent more money bailing out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA premium tax credits for 1 year. So does MAGA actually stand for Make Argentina Great Again? Because if not, then why did Trump just double or triple millions of Americans’ health care premiums?

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

The House just passed a funding bill that does NOTHING to stop 15 million Americans from being kicked off their health care or protect our democracy. But it DOES let Senators involved in the January 6th investigation SUE the government for $500,000 each. In case it wasn’t clear, I voted NO.

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

Millions of Americans will see their health care premiums double or triple next year – but instead of addressing that, what was the GOP’s priority? Sneaking a provision into the CR so Republican Senators could sue the DOJ for $500k each because of the January 6th investigation.

After 7 weeks of stalling, Mike Johnson finally swore in Rep. Adelita Grijalva — and she became the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. The American people deserve transparency and the victims deserve justice. Today, we’re one step closer.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 11(source)

On Veterans Day, we recognize the incredible service and sacrifices made by our veterans. I’m so proud to represent San Diego’s veteran community and I’ll keep fighting in Congress to make sure veterans have the support and resources they’ve earned and deserve.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 10(source)

Happy birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps. Marines have played a crucial role in defending our country for 250 years and are an integral part of our San Diego community. Thank you and your families for your service and sacrifice. Semper Fi.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 10(source)

I’m so proud of how our San Diego community has come together during these difficult times – but it shouldn’t have to be this way. We should have affordable health care, groceries, housing, and a government that actually works.

San Diego food banks granted $3 million to counter federal funding cuts

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego each received $1.5 million in emergency funding from the Prebys Foundation on Thursday to counter federal funding cuts.

Happy to announce that both my San Diego and Washington D.C. offices are now accepting internship applications for our Winter/Spring 2026 Term (Jan-April). Applications are due November 14, 2025 at 5pm local time. For more details on how to apply: sarajacobs.house.gov/services/int...

But we shouldn’t forget that we are in this place to begin with because Republicans have refused to address the health care crisis at all, and are literally fighting in the courts to not feed hungry Americans. They’re not the heroes here.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 10(source)

Both Senate Democrats and Republicans have failed in their responsibility to address the health care crisis and rein in a dangerous president who consistently ignores Congress’s authority and the rule of law. This “deal” is offensive to the American people and I won’t support it.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 8(source)

Records Donald Trump has broken: - Only president impeached twice - Worst year for layoffs since 2009 - Longest government shutdown in history Call it the Trump effect, I guess.

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

We’ve been warning about widespread travel delays since Republicans shut the government down 38 days ago. Democrats have been demanding meetings to negotiate and reopen the government and Republicans have repeatedly refused. We can’t go on like this.

San Diego travelers concerned as thousands of flights per day will be canceled nationwide if the government shutdown continues

FAA cuts could amount to 10% of all air traffic across 40 busy cities.

Starting yet another forever war won’t solve violence in Nigeria; in fact, it’s likely to escalate violence further. We had diplomacy, development, and conflict-prevention tools that could’ve addressed root causes, but Donald Trump slashed them.

U.S. Military Draws Up Nigeria Plans, With Limited Options to Quell Violence

I joined Feeding San Diego to distribute food in Sorrento Valley to our neighbors who are struggling to put food on the table — all because Republicans have refused to reopen the government. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up for our community right now.

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

I was proud to join Teamsters Local 542 for Veterans Appreciation Day. Working people keep our country running and it’s our veterans who have kept us safe. I'm so grateful for their service to our country and our community.

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

I will always be grateful that I learned how to lead in Congress with fortitude, poise, and grit from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. She is the most accomplished Speaker of our generation and many young girls including me knew that we could be a leader because of her.

Nancy Pelosi, first female speaker of the House, won't seek re-election to Congress

The California Democrat led her party in the House for two decades. Her decision will open up her San Francisco-based seat for the first time in nearly 40 years.

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

I joined the San Diego Food Bank for an emergency food distribution for federal workers, military families, and everyone needing some extra help right now. It shouldn’t take a court order to force the Trump Administration to do the right thing and even partially fund SNAP.

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

Now let’s do the nation. Free, universal child care is the proactive, pro-economy, pro-family vision we need for the future.

In U.S. first, New Mexico launches free child care for all

Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 4(source)

Republicans just tied the record for the longest U.S. government shutdown in history because they refuse to extend lifesaving ACA premium tax credits for millions of Americans like Stacy Cox.

Obamacare enrollee sees premium spike over 300% as sign-up period begins: 'This will devastate us'

Millions across the country will discover just how much their plans will cost when open enrollment for Affordable Care Act insurance plans begins on Nov. 1.
