1 in 4 military families report infertility (higher than the national average). That’s why I'm fighting to expand military health care coverage of IVF and fertility treatments for our service members and their dependents.

Rep. Sara Jacobs pushes to make fertility treatment accessible for military families

She paid thousands to freeze her eggs, and is working to get IVF procedures covered for troops.

Health care costs are rising and Republicans in Congress are making it worse. They voted to gut Medicaid and have (so far) failed to extend the ACA premium tax credits that help millions of working families afford health insurance. We need action now.

Health care inflation rises as patients, employers brace for biggest jump in health spending in 15 years

Health care inflation is rising, helping to fuel what is expected to be the biggest rise in employer health spending in 15 years in 2026.

Quick question: is pushing 1 million people into poverty making America great again?? Just curious.

Trump’s tariffs could push nearly 1 million Americans into poverty, report finds | CNN Business

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff regime is already reshaping global trade and spiking government customs revenue. But these historic import taxes could also push more Americans into poverty, a...

Your health care premiums could go up by 75% next year. Here's what we can do to stop that.

Trump’s tariffs and inflation are hurtling our economy toward a recession…and Trump is focused on expanding his White House ballroom. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Trump says the new White House ballroom will be 'a little bigger' than initially planned

The capacity for the new ballroom will be 900 people, Trump told NBC News in an exclusive interview, which is nearly 40% larger than first described.

Now let’s do the nation.

New Mexico to become the first state to offer universal child care

The program may offer a blueprint for other states on an issue that was prominent during the 2024 campaign.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 12(source)

Call me crazy – but I don’t think we should make 99% of Americans worse off so Donald Trump and his billionaire friends can profit. I think rich people should pay more in taxes. And I think everyone should have health care and be able to make ends meet.

Liberal group: Tariffs, megabill leave 99% worse off

The analysis found that all Americans will make less in 2029, after some of the megabill’s tax provisions expire.

Lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians won’t be built on permanent occupation. But it’s obvious that PM Netanyahu isn't interested in peace, he only wants to hold onto his own power.

Netanyahu signs West Bank settlement expansion plan, rules out Palestinian state

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an agreement on Thursday to push ahead with a controversial settlement expansion plan that would cut across land that the Palestinians seek for a state.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 12(source)

Our service members sacrifice so much for us – but they should NEVER have to sacrifice building a family. That’s why I’m fighting so hard for TRICARE to cover fertility treatments – including IVF – for service members and their dependents.

Juggling Congress and Life, She Opted to Freeze Her Eggs

The 47th shooting on a school campus this year. It’s horrifying and heartbreaking every single time. Gun violence is not inevitable. Congress has a responsibility to act.

A deadly shooting at Denver-area high school leaves community shaken during third week of school | CNN

Students at Evergreen High School in Colorado were more than halfway through the school day in their third week of classes this semester when over 100 law enforcement officers swarmed the campus, sear...

There’s nothing glamorous about freezing your eggs…it feels like puberty, menopause, and pregnancy all together. But if we’re not talking about what it’s like to go through egg freezing, then there’s no way we’ll have good policy on it. That’s why I’m sharing my story:

Trump’s energy policies aren’t working – and now Americans are paying the price.

Trump vowed to halve electricity prices. But they’re rising twice as fast as inflation | CNN Business

On the campaign trail last summer, President Donald Trump promised to swiftly cut electricity and energy prices in half if voters returned him to the White House.

On September 11, 2001, our country was changed forever. Today, 24 years later, we remember those we lost and honor the first responders who courageously ran toward danger to save lives. We will never forget.

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

I froze my eggs over the summer. And now I’m fighting so that everyone has access to the fertility treatments like egg freezing and IVF that they need – starting with military families. Stay tuned for the House vote later this week.

I’m hearing this on the ground constantly – Trump’s tariffs are zeroing out small businesses’ bottom lines, so they have to raise prices on consumers to survive. This economic uncertainty is not sustainable.

Trump's tariffs driving up prices at nearly half of small businesses—report

"One of the things that stood out to us was the drop in confidence, especially as we look at this year versus last year," a marketing expert told Newsweek.

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

Trump’s new caps on federal student loans mean lower-income students won’t be able to afford medical school, worsening our doctor shortage and ultimately hurting patient outcomes.

What new limits on student borrowing could mean for San Diego doctors, patients and care

Students getting pricey graduate degrees can get less in federal loans starting next year. Financial aid officials, doctors and policymakers warn it could reshape education, and medical care.

Trump’s immigration raids and deportations are tearing families apart. He’s going after hardworking people and people trying to go through the legal process. It’s wrong.

Immigration sweeps leave gaping holes in San Diego families. ‘I just want my dad home.’

Children and spouses are learning to cope with sudden deportations of loved ones

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

Two can play this game. Next week, I'm introducing legislation to rename the State Department as the Department of Peace. And if Trump wants to actually be the Peace President he says he is, then he should have no problem supporting it.

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

Our military should be a last resort used to defend our people, our country, and our interests but instead, Trump is shifting to a hawkish, aggressive posture, normalizing military action as inevitable. This is a dangerous shift in military policy.

Trump signs order renaming Pentagon 'Department of War'

President Trump signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, though a formal name change would require Congress to act.

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

For an Administration that wants people to have more babies, they don’t actually have any policies that help people deliver and raise babies safely.

Medicaid cuts threaten rural hospitals — and access to maternity care

Medicaid cuts in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill threaten rural hospitals, risking service cuts and closures that could severely limit access to maternity care.
