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.

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.

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.

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.

Cruelty is the point. Donald Trump *chose* to restart interest on millions of borrowers’ federal student loans. This doesn’t help our economy; instead, it saddles millions with the burden of paying off interest – which is far greater than the original loan amount.
Student Loan Interest Jumps This Week For 7.7 Million Borrowers
Millions of student loan borrowers will see their interest rates jump this week as the Trump administration moves forward to end benefits for SAVE plan borrowers.

It’s horrible that Donald Trump is reneging on his campaign promise to expand IVF access – which is the only option for some people to achieve their dream of having a family. I will keep fighting so that everyone can build their family if, when, and how they want to.
White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge
President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

I helped introduce the Block the Bombs Act because the U.S. should no longer be complicit in the Israeli government’s starving, killing, and displacement of Palestinian civilians. We need to finally use our leverage to save lives.
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 31(source)
If I were in the Senate, I would vote yes on @SenSanders' resolutions today to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel. The Israeli government is knowingly starving civilians — and the U.S. shouldn’t be complicit.
