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.

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.
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.
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.
ICE isn’t going after criminals. They went after and deported the father of a U.S. Marine.
THIS is how you fight fascism: refuse to give in, refuse to play a role in state censorship, and refuse to give your leaders a free pass when your job is holding them accountable.
I’m proud to see nearly every media outlet reject this loyalty test.
Shutdown Day 15: Speaker Mike Johnson is STILL refusing to bring back House Republicans to Congress and negotiate to protect health care for Americans and reopen the government.
This isn’t business-as-usual military action – it’s murder. There was no public evidence, no due process, and no legal justification. Thoughtless action like this is how we wind up in endless wars and how our service members become targets. This is beyond shameful.
If Republicans let this happen, millions of Americans will be priced out of health care and be unable to afford chemo, insulin, heart medication, and more.

Today has been a long time coming – I’m so relieved that the Israeli hostages are finally home and that humanitarian aid is finally getting to people in Gaza. I’m hopeful that the ceasefire will continue to hold and that we can begin working toward lasting peace in the region.
Since he took office, President Trump has undermined Native Americans’ rights, sovereignty, sacred lands, funds, and more. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, it’s important to understand just how far we have to go to live up to our trust and treaty responsibilities to them.
71% of immigrants detained by ICE have zero criminal convictions.
But that’s not stopping private prisons from cashing in on the Trump Administration’s xenophobia – despite their history of horrific treatment of immigrants.
This half-baked idea exploits children, tricking them with a few bucks into potentially dangerous situations when they don't fully understand the legal system.
Service members, TSA workers, and air traffic controllers are working without pay because Republicans shut down the government. My Republican colleagues in Congress need to come back to DC and vote to protect health care and reopen the government.
So Pete Hegseth is getting gender affirming care while kicking highly qualified, highly trained trans service members out of our military? Got it.
Tonight! Join me for a Telephone Town Hall at 7pm PT. You can watch live and submit questions at: sarajacobs.house.gov/live
It is ILLEGAL to withhold back pay from federal workers.
Trump won’t do his own job but he wants to stiff people who do show up to work.
Air traffic controllers and TSA workers are being asked to go to work without guaranteed pay.
Meanwhile, President Trump and Republicans are failing to do their jobs and wasting time by refusing to negotiate with Democrats to protect health care and reopen the government.
Trump’s government shutdown means that right now, our service members are reporting for duty without pay – making it even harder for them to put food on the table.
While we work to re-open the government, the San Diego Food Bank is a great resource for anyone needing assistance.
It’s been an agonizing two years so I’m hopeful that this deal will bring all the hostages home, end the atrocities, and lead to an immediate rush of aid into Gaza. Too many lives have been lost already so I urge all parties to uphold this deal so we can end this horrific war.
