One of America’s greatest strengths is that we welcome the best and brightest from all over the world and encourage them to drive innovation – often right here in San Diego. Trump’s attacks on science will hold us back while other countries race ahead.

U.S. Scientists Warn That Trump’s Cuts Will Set Off a Brain Drain

Senator Joni Ernst seems to think killing constituents by ripping away their health care is a big joke. Republicans in Congress have sacrificed so much of their humanity to Trump’s cruel politics that they have literally forgotten that KILLING PEOPLE IS BAD. www.thedailybeast.com/gop-senator-...

GOP Senator Doubles Down on ‘We’re All Going to Die’ Talk by Mocking Voters

Joni Ernst offered a “sincere” apology for her apocalyptic response to an “extremely distraught woman” at a fiery town hall.

Harvey Milk was a selfless patriot, devoting his life to serving his country and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. He’s earned his recognition in our history books and on this Naval ship. Removing his name during Pride Month is wrong, but we won’t let it erase his legacy.

The average cost of daycare for a toddler and an infant in California is now $39,300 per year. As the cost of everything continues to rise, we need to increase our investment in child care to address our broken system.

The cost of child care keeps outpacing inflation

A new report finds that prices rose 29% from 2020 to 2024.

If the Senate passes Republicans' budget, it would be devastating for millions of family caregivers and their sick or disabled loved ones. Medicaid coverage for transportation, meal support, and in-home care is a lifeline. We can’t let Republicans rip this away. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

How the GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts could affect millions of family caregivers

Riot gear, smoke grenades, flash bangs, and mass arrests are dangerous and unnecessarily escalatory. Bystanders and families easily could have gotten hurt. This is unacceptable.

Federal immigration agents raid San Diego restaurants, detain workers

Immigration agents raid South Park restaurants Friday evening. CBS 8 spoke with eye witnesses, employees.

This is heartbreaking. When you're fleeing for your life, restrictions on asylum or the dangerous journey won't deter you. That's why a more effective immigration policy is to tackle the root causes of *why* people are fleeing in the first place.

The Trump family has monetized the White House to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. Republicans in Congress have the power to hold the President accountable for this blatant corruption – they need to use it.

As Trumps Monetize Presidency, Profits Outstrip Protests

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMay 29(source)

Too many Americans can barely afford groceries and gas – let alone housing, child care, health care, and college – but yes, what we really need is to give bigger tax breaks to the top 1%. www.cnn.com/2025/05/24/p...

Draft-dodger Donald Trump wants an authoritarian-style military parade for his birthday and is pushing an annual ceremony for actual Vietnam War veterans out of DC to make it happen.

Vietnam vets’ annual ceremony relocated from D.C. due to Army parade

The upcoming military parade made it “impossible” to host an annual Vietnam veterans ceremony on the National Mall, where it has occurred for more than three decades.

Donald Trump isn’t going after criminals. He’s targeting people who are trying their best to go through the legal process – and we shouldn’t be punishing that.

ICE tactics spark fear as migrants arrested post-hearing in San Diego, across US

ICE agents are arresting migrants post-hearing, alarming immigrants and advocates. Activists are calling for transparency in immigration enforcement.

In San Diego, we understand the cost of war and the sacrifices our service members make to keep us safe. This Memorial Day, we honor the memory of the service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice and rededicate ourselves to building a country worthy of them.

House Republicans just voted to take away free school lunch from hungry kids to give bigger tax breaks to the rich.

President Trump, time is ticking and we're still waiting on those policy recommendations on how to expand IVF access. But I’ll save you the trouble, it’s time to support my IVF for Military Families Act.

Trump still hasn't produced plans to make IVF more accessible

The deadline for a much-hyped White House report has come and gone, and it's unclear if it will ever be publicly released.

Proof that “Americans won’t pay for tariffs” was always a lie ⤵️

Majority of US companies say they have to raise prices due to Trump tariffs

Over half (54%) of companies surveyed by insurer Allianz say they will have to raise prices to accommodate cost of tariffs

Elon Musk got $186,100,000,000 richer in the last year. And he’s about to get even richer thanks to tax giveaways in Republicans’ budget bill. Meanwhile, low-income and working class people will LOSE money. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/b...

The bill’s gains would go disproportionately to the rich, according to the analysis. The top 10% of earners would receive about two-thirds (65%) of the total value of the legislation, while households in the bottom 20% would lose about $1,035 in 2026 due to cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and other changes, according to Penn Wharton.

Just left the plane crash site in Murphy Canyon. I'm so proud of our community and thankful for our first responders who are taking care of the impacted families. I will keep working with our local and national partners to ensure these families have what they need to recover.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMay 23(source)

When a hurricane is coming, having accurate forecasts and experienced responders can make the difference between surviving or dying. Our disaster programs need reform – not elimination. These cuts were reckless and this chaos is dangerous.

States and Cities Fear a Disaster Season Full of Unknowns Amid Federal Cuts

This reverse Robin Hood scheme won’t grow our economy but it will grow inequality. Shame on every House Republican who voted for it.

Economic Analysis Shows ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Taking From Poor, Giving To Rich

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Republican bill would shrink resources for low-income households.
