🗓️ Please join California’s @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and me for a virtual town hall on Wednesday, June 18th at 6pm PT. You can watch live on Facebook (@repsarajacobs) or RSVP here for a zoom link: tinyurl.com/townhall6-18.
See you there!
Chaos in Washington has life and death consequences.
I’m very concerned about what Trump’s federal cuts to the National Weather Service staff will mean for California during this wildfire season. Effective wildfire forecasting keeps everyone safer.
We have a housing affordability crisis – we simply cannot afford anything that makes housing MORE expensive. But Trump just raised tariffs AGAIN on steel and aluminum to 50%, which will slow new construction and jack up prices.

I was so proud to honor the 2025 cohort of San Diego Leadership Alliance fellows last weekend. These times may be dark, but smart, courageous young leaders like these fellows will guide us through and help us build a better country for all.
Israel’s strikes risk not only a war with Iran but a larger regional war. Both sides need to de-escalate immediately or risk the lives of millions of innocent civilians and catastrophic conflict that will spiral out of control.
Clearly, Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military trans ban has NOTHING to do with equal standards or military readiness — it’s about bigotry.
There's no "invasion" according to General Caine -- but that's President Trump's alleged justification for sending National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles.
So looks to me like if there's not an invasion, Trump is just trying to grab onto power.
Senator Padilla's job is to show up and ask questions. And that's what he did. It is absolutely unacceptable that Kristi Noem's agents manhandled and detained him.

Young people live our lives online, which includes things like tracking our periods, Ubering to an abortion clinic, and buying abortion pills. But that data is vulnerable in the post-Roe era. That’s why I introduced the My Body, My Data Act to protect it.
Trump just ramped up tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%. This will raise manufacturing costs and hit San Diego’s craft beer industry hard.
Small business owners across our district have told me the same thing: these broad, untargeted tariffs are hurting them.
I know many of you have serious concerns about active duty Marines being deployed to our cities - I do too. Today, I voiced my concerns and asked the Commandant of the Marine Corps questions about their required training to ensure these Marines follow the law.
My generation was the first to grow up with school shooter drills – but we’re not the last. We will keep fighting alongside groups like Shaphat Outreach to pass common-sense laws that save lives so that we never have to recognize another Wear Orange Day again.
I was heartbroken to see Ascension Lutheran Church’s Pride banner recently vandalized for the third time. As we celebrate National Pride Month, everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. San Diego must stand united against all forms of hate and violence 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Today in Congress, I re-introduced the My Body, My Data Act — which would create a new national standard to protect personal reproductive and sexual health data.
Would you look at that: the Department of Government Efficiency has not actually been efficient at all.
By some counts, it’s cost taxpayers more money than it’s saved and has certainly caused chaos that literally led to people dying.
Next week, I’m hosting a virtual town hall with California’s @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov.
Join us on Wednesday, June 18th at 6pm PT. We’ll be live streaming on Facebook or you can RSVP for a Zoom link: tinyurl.com/townhall6-18
Hope to see you there!
It was great to join the Rolando Park Community Council for a clean-up on University Ave. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to keep our neighborhood litter-free!
Instead of unnecessarily deploying troops to LA that will cost taxpayers $134 million, we could provide 44 million school lunches to hungry kids.
