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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was there. You can’t rewrite history and pretend this wasn’t an attempt to hold onto power. You can’t pretend that Trump didn’t incite violence and then do next to nothing to stop it.

Republicans accused of wanting to ‘rewrite history’ after approving new Jan. 6 probe

Democrat blasts House Republicans for their ‘embarrassing apologetics’ over Jan. 6 after GOP lawmakers tuck resolution into rule on House floor

There are over 7 million people looking for a job right now. They matter. They don't cease to exist because of the Trump Administration's failed policies.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to LA was unlawful – and now he’s trying to do it again in New Orleans?! When will Republicans stand up to Trump?

Trump suggests sending National Guard troops to New Orleans next

We already knew Trump and his family have made at least $3.4 billion during his time in the White House – and now they just made $5 BILLION more from their crypto token??? All while regular people are struggling with skyrocketing costs. Unbelievable.

New crypto token boosts Trump family's wealth by $5 billion

A digital token offered by the Trump family's World Liberty Financial has started trading. Here's what to know.
