We are facing a child care crisis. Child care costs more than rent in 17 states and more than public college tuition in 38 states. That’s why I just introduced the LEGACY Act – to fix our broken system and ensure every kid has access to high-quality, affordable care.

Giving all kids access to education is considered too radical by the GOP. (with @sarajacobs.house.gov)

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 10(source)

Trump wants a baby boom, but he just ripped away critical resources from working families to give tax cuts to the rich. My bill would do the opposite: tax the ultra-wealthy a little more so we can invest in quality, affordable child care for EVERYONE.

This wealthy member of Congress just proposed increasing her own taxes

“I think of it as taxing trust-fund kids, to create a trust fund for all American kids.”

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 10(source)

Ask any family you know: child care is WAY too expensive. But I have a plan to address this: the LEGACY Act. My new bill would leverage the estate tax on the wealthiest Americans to create about $400 MILLION in new funding for high-quality, affordable child care.

Last week, I visited Psyonic, which designs and builds cutting-edge bionic prosthetics. I’m so proud that San Diego is home to life-changing innovation like this.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

I visited Rise Up Industries, a non-profit that supports the re-entry of formerly incarcerated people with important services including job-training, counseling, education assistance, and financial literacy. I’m so thankful for their important work.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

And they doubled the estate tax exemption from the original Trump Tax Cuts and made it permanent, further concentrating wealth in the hands of a few people! We should raise the floor for everyone, not raise the ceiling for a tiny few.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

And despite all of the evidence against it, Republicans just doubled down on trickle-down economics. Their budget makes the largest-ever cuts to Medicaid and SNAP – two of the strongest ladders out of poverty.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

Trickle-down economics was a myth created to justify the concentration of wealth. It hasn’t produced more jobs or higher wages. It hasn’t even led to Amazon lifting the prospects of its own workforce.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

Nearly half of Amazon workers say they struggle to afford housing and food expenses. About a third rely on SNAP just to put food on the table.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

Right now, Amazon workers face intense pressure to fulfill the order spike during Prime Day sales. They’re working longer hours for low pay and are at a higher risk of workplace injuries.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

Here’s a Prime (Day) example of why trickle-down economics don’t work: In recent years, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who has a net worth of over $200 billion, paid zero dollars in federal income taxes. He just paid $50 million for a lavish wedding in Italy.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 9(source)

Don’t forget: Republicans in the House and Senate voted to take away food and health care from poor people and give ICE billions more dollars for Donald Trump’s deportation and detention agenda. Shameful.

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

Good health care, food on the table, and a home – these should be within reach for EVERYONE. But the Republican budget Trump just signed into law pushes the American Dream further away from regular people to give billionaires another tax break.

Investors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one

Real estate investors are buying a larger share of U.S. homes as high prices and borrowing costs deter traditional buyers.

I’m proud to represent amazing young people like Annie, a senior at University City High School. I was so impressed by her volunteer efforts at Gigi’s Playhouse, the Women’s History Museum, and co-founding a nonprofit to promote literacy. Thank you for your hard work, Annie!

Who could have seen this coming? Abortion bans force doctors to question, delay, or deny standard care during miscarriages – which can be deadly.

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

My office has been in touch with many of individuals involved, from bystanders to those arrested, and I will continue to conduct all necessary oversight over DHS and the Trump Administration.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 4(source)

This morning, I spoke with the Special Agent in Charge of the ICE arrest in Linda Vista to reiterate the importance of affording everyone their legal rights and ensuring that agents immediately and always identify themselves and have their badges visible.

My thoughts this 4th of July

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 3(source)

The U.S. footprint globally is often our military–but USAID was different, saving 91 million lives, strengthening local capacity, and building a positive U.S. reputation. Cutting USAID could cause 14 million more deaths in the next 5 years, making all of us less safe and secure.

USAID cuts may cause 14 million more deaths in next five years, study says

The analysis, published in the Lancet, estimates the agency’s programs saved 91 million lives worldwide over two decades, playing a vital role in global health.
