It’s day 8 of Trump’s Shutdown and there are two things we still haven’t seen here on Capitol Hill: 1. House Republicans 2. The Epstein Files

Republican Shutdown update: Day 7. Republicans are still nowhere to be found.

While we work to urge Republicans to come to the table and negotiate in good faith to end this shutdown, here are the answers to some FAQs: sarajacobs.house.gov/government-s... Let me know how the shutdown is affecting you here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

That’s why I’m staying hopeful that these latest peace talks will be successful, so we can bring all the hostages home, finally end this horrific war, deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and work toward lasting safety and security for Israelis and Palestinians.

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

I know for me and so many others, we haven’t been able to fully mourn because it’s not over: many hostages remain captive, the war rages on, and the scourge of antisemitism is rising.

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

The world changed two years ago when Hamas attacked, kidnapped, and killed civilians in Israel. My heart breaks for the hostages and their loved ones, many of whom I’ve gotten to know over the past two years.

Rep. Deluzio and I saw this coming – so we introduced the New Insurrection Act to stop a power grab like this and narrow when the president can deploy American troops on American soil.

Trump has said he would consider using the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard.

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

Republicans have voted over and over again to gut health care for millions of Americans. Now, they’ve shut down the government instead of extending life-saving health care premium tax credits. They’ll do anything except give you health care.

What the shutdown means for Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs

Core programs will keep running because their funding is built into law. But a popular Medicare benefit has already ended, and local health centers may be at risk unless Congress acts soon.

Trump’s more focused on building his ballroom than reopening the government.

White House Will Continue Construction on 90,000-Square-Foot Ballroom During Government Shutdown

The $200 million construction of the White House ballroom will continue amid the government shutdown that began on Wednesday, Oct. 1, a White House official said.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House – and they have decided to shut down the federal government instead of working with Democrats to enact a bipartisan budget. I know that a gov...

Republicans’ government shutdown will make it harder for our San Diego military families to make ends meet when they are already struggling to afford housing and child care and put food on the table. www.axios.com/local/san-di...

How the government shutdown could disrupt daily life in San Diego

Thousands of military and federal employees are working without pay or facing furloughs.

If Republicans in Congress do nothing (which they’re good at), health insurance premiums will increase for over 20 million Americans next year and about 2 million people will lose coverage – especially low-income families and seniors.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 3(source)

Trump has been effectively shutting down our federal government for months. We need to stand up now and get verifiable, concrete guarantees that protect the funds Congress has already appropriated and protect the rule of law.

"Unprecedented opportunity": Trump, Vought to decide which "Democrat" agencies to cut

Trump is barreling forward despite a lawsuit claiming such actions are "contrary to law."

Innocent children like Suza died from curable diseases because Trump illegally froze foreign aid, dismantled USAID, and stranded the lifesaving medication they needed. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Should we really believe a word he says about the government shutdown?

As my family and I spend Yom Kippur together, I’m wishing everyone observing this day an easy and meaningful fast. G’mar Chatima Tovah.

In case anyone's wondering how we got here:

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 1(source)

There’s more! -Farmers and small businesses cut off from federal loans -Cancer trials and disease research on hold -Disaster relief delayed -Service members, FBI agents, and Border Patrol working without pay -Outbreak monitoring slowed

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 1(source)

🧵Here’s what Donald Trump chose instead of agreeing to lower your health care costs: -No food safety checks on what’s in your fridge -Longer TSA lines. Fewer air traffic controllers on duty -National parks locked up – or piling up trash -Passports and visas stuck in limbo
