Is Pete Hegseth trying to be more and more disqualifying to be Secretary of Defense??

It Sure Looks Like Pete Hegseth Doesn’t Think Women Should Vote

If this video is any proof, the defense secretary has a dark vision for America.

This is the latest dress rehearsal for Trump’s full-blown authoritarian takeover.

It was great to chat with these teens at the 21iQInnovation Summer Bootcamp on Entrepreneurship. They had great questions about leadership and government, and I loved seeing their passion for innovation!

I secured $850k to build the new Grantville Safe Parking Site – which will provide folks sleeping in their cars with a safe place to park overnight and a pathway to permanent housing. We have a lot more work to do, but this is a step in the right direction.

Patrick Henry High Schooler Josh Brookens earned a 2025 Congressional Gold Medal for his achievements in community service, personal development (jazz trumpet), physical fitness (covering 1,800 miles by bike), and exploration. Proud to honor him as a CA-51 Outstanding Youth!

40% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency – and Trump’s tariffs will cost the average family over double that ($2,400!) every year.

Cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs

The Trump administration’s latest tariffs are expected to drive up prices for U.S. consumers, with costs rising for everyday items such as groceries.

One of my most important responsibilities is conducting congressional oversight. That’s why I conducted an oversight visit of the U.S. Coast Guard at Sector San Diego to ensure their immigration operations follow the law and to have candid conversations with service members.

Accessing reproductive health data – without the user’s consent – happens all the time, by data brokers, police, and other bad actors. That’s why we need a federal standard – like the My Body, My Data Act – to end this.

Meta illegally collected Flo users’ menstrual data, jury rules

Meta has already disagreed with the decision.

It was so great to meet with Serving Seniors’ Civic Engagement Group, which empowers low-income seniors to address challenges in their communities, about their concerns, especially with Donald Trump’s new cuts to health care and food assistance.

Everyone involved in this decision should be ashamed of themselves. These brave Americans have served our country for over 15 years – and have earned retirement benefits instead of being shown the door.

Exclusive: US Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members

The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

I proudly secured $2 million in federal funding for the ASYMCA Center to expand child care services for our military families, and it was amazing to visit this week and see the positive impact it’s having on our community!

I joined the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce to hear from local business and community leaders and talk about the impacts of the Republicans’ new budget on our community, workforce development, and more.

Cartels are motivated by money – not politics – so this designation won’t work, but it will make things worse by fueling more deaths and instability that deeper entrenches cartel power while also creating diplomatic blowback with Mexico.

Donald Trump just raised tariffs to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and YOU are paying for them.

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

Donald Trump’s new tariffs begin today, driving up costs for Americans and bringing import tax levels to the highest since the Great Depression…and this is right after ripping away health care and food assistance from millions of Americans.

New tariffs snap into effect, raising import taxes to highest level since Great Depression

A wide variety of products will be affected, from appliances made in the European Union to autos from Japan to food, furniture, toys and more.

I’m proud to support San Diego Fire-Rescue’s new wellness center, built in part thanks to federal funding from FEMA, which provides physical and mental health services to help our first responders recover safely and stay on the job.

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

They’re right! Donald Trump hasn’t done a thing to lower costs – in fact, he’s actually driving them up with his tariffs and his new budget.

Trump to blame for high cost of living, Americans say in new poll

Six out of 10 Americans fault president for financial struggles and eight out of 10 worry about tariffs’ impact

I had a great time visiting Alexa’s PLAYC preschool, offered through Rady Children’s Hospital. This program supports both kids with autism and their typically developing peers. Access to inclusive, high-quality early childhood education should be the norm! Let’s make it happen.

Trump’s tariffs are his sneaky way of stealing from the American people.

Trump gets tariffs; Americans get price hikes

U.S. President Donald Trump is getting his tariffs. Companies are making it clear how they intend to deal with it - passing them on to American consumers.
