If 40 million people go hungry, that’s because it’s Donald Trump’s choice. The USDA can and should use contingency reserve dollars and all legal authority to fund SNAP during this government shutdown. If they don’t, that’s on Trump.

US House Democrats push USDA to fund food benefits as shutdown continues

More than 200 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives told the Agriculture Department on Friday it should draw on its emergency reserves to fund November food benefits, which are compromised by the ongoing federal shutdown.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 27(source)

Almost 400,000 people in San Diego County alone receive Cal-Fresh (aka SNAP) benefits every month to afford food. Now, because Republicans in Congress are refusing to reopen the government, November benefits will likely be delayed.

San Diego County cites federal shutdown: Don't expect November CalFresh payments

The ongoing federal government shutdown could mean CalFresh recipients may not receive November benefits, San Diego County officials said Tuesday.

ICE just denied our congressional oversight visit to the basement of the courthouse in San Diego today. But we’re not going to stop showing up and asking questions — because it’s our job.

Donald Trump’s policies are hurting our farmers from all sides. He’s QUADRUPULING the amount of imported beef from Argentina and retaliatory tariffs are locking us out from foreign markets and raising prices for U.S. consumers.

Trump to quadruple Argentine beef imports while US ranchers fume

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is quadrupling the country's low-tariff imports of Argentine beef in his attempt to lower grocery store beef prices, a White House official said on Thursday, evoking fury from the nation's cattle ranchers.

Most Americans are worried about rising health care costs. What are Republicans doing about it? They voted to slash Medicaid and let ACA premium tax credits expire, kicking 15 million people off their health care and raising costs for the rest of us.

Most Americans are concerned about rising health care costs, AP-NORC poll finds

Federal policies have left millions of people at risk of skyrocketing health insurance premiums or of losing their health insurance altogether.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 24(source)

Republicans in Congress won’t come back to work to protect your health care. They won’t come back to work to extend SNAP funding. They’re off on vacation.

Government shutdown threatens food stamps for 42 million Americans: 'Insufficient funds'

SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans are at risk as the ongoing government shutdown threatens funding for November food stamp payments, according to the USDA.

Don’t care about my opinion on immigration? That’s fine – but listen to the Former ICE Director talk about how mass deportations and surveillance are making all of us less safe. 👇

Former ICE director on why immigration raids are making U.S. less safe : Here & Now Anytime

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting director John Sandweg weighs in on the agency’s policing tactics and surveillance technology being used to conduct mass deportations and monitor those...

It’s my job to stand up for everyone in our community — to protect their rights and ensure they get due process and fair treatment. That’s why I’m concerned about reports of immigrants detained at the San Diego courthouse and why I’m pushing for answers.

U.S. Representatives demand answers from ICE, DHS on detainees in federal building

Local Congress members sent a letter asking why people were detained, if they were held for more than 24 hours and where, exactly, they were in the building.

Donald Trump isn’t just trying to steal $230 million in taxpayer dollars, he’s trying to rip away your health care too.

Report: Trump demands taxpayers hand him $230 million

Is it still "ridiculous that anyone would even suggest" that he's cashing in?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 23(source)

Even if Congress signs off on it (which we shouldn’t), it’s still ILLEGAL to murder civilians on land or sea who pose no imminent threat to U.S. forces or U.S. territory.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 23(source)

Instead of spending $77 billion over the next four years on immigration enforcement, we could pay for universal child care that’s free for all families. Which would you pick?

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

I met with San Diego County superintendents and administrators to talk about how federal immigration enforcement near schools is hurting students’ mental health and academic performance and putting enormous pressure on families, teachers, and staff. ICE is making us less safe.

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

I hosted a conversation with military families in Murphy Canyon to provide an update on the ongoing government shutdown and hear about their concerns. I’m doing everything I can to support our military community and reopen the government.

Just so we’re clear: blatant political propaganda is illegal under the Hatch Act. Glad to see San Diego International Airport doing the right thing and rejecting this.

ICE isn’t going after criminals. They’re going after people who help us put food on the table – and it’s raising our food prices.

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices

U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

I’m hosting an upcoming ceremony to honor Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. If you or someone you know is a Vietnam Veteran in CA-51, please join me to receive recognition: sarajacobs.house.gov/vietnam-vete...

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

Promises made, promises broken (again and again). Trump has done nothing but drive up the costs of everyday goods with his tariffs and the complete chaos of his administration – and Americans are literally paying the price.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

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

I just met with local health care providers who confirmed: if Republicans let ACA premium tax credits expire, thousands of San Diegans will see HUGE increases in their health insurance costs and be forced to decide between medical treatment and rent. We can’t let that happen.

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

I was glad to meet with local nonprofit partners – including ASYMCA, SDMAC, STEP, Zero8Hundred, and Feeding San Diego – to discuss the impacts of the government shutdown on our service members and their families and how these organizations are stepping up to provide support.

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

It’s Day 16. Here’s the situation: Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs for millions of Americans; House Republicans are fighting for the sake of fighting (and to block the Epstein Files…) They still won’t negotiate. They won’t return to DC to vote. They’re MIA.
