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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Trump’s more focused on building his ballroom than reopening the government.
If you're in San Diego and have been directly impacted by the shutdown, please share your story with me here:
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.

How is the Republicans’ government shutdown hurting you? Please share your story with me here:
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.
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.
Innocent children like Suza died from curable diseases because Trump illegally froze foreign aid, dismantled USAID, and stranded the lifesaving medication they needed.

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:
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
🧵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
