The “Department of Government Efficiency” has put up so much unnecessary red tape that critical work has ground to a halt.

House Republicans are working to reverse clean-energy jobs and investments in their own districts to pay for tax cuts for the rich. 🤦‍♀️

A Clean Energy Boom Was Just Starting. Now, a Republican Bill Aims to End It.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMay 14(source)

Let’s talk efficiency: for every $1 we invest in primary care, we save $13 in the long run. Access to primary care saves money and LIVES. That’s why I was excited to celebrate La Maestra Community Health Centers’ 35 years of service to our community.

House Republicans are willing to make more kids hungry in order to pay for their tax cuts for the rich.

Anti-hunger advocates slam House Republicans’ proposed cut to SNAP

Experts fear slashing over $290 billion could result in many households in need losing a critical nutrition lifeline.

You don’t need me to tell you that the cost of living is WAY too high, but NO ONE should have to make $258k a year to buy a house. San Diego is a beautiful place to live, but we HAVE to make it and our country more affordable.

Study says you need to earn $258K a year to buy a San Diego home

San Diego is the fourth-most expensive market in the nation, Realtor.com study says.

It was so great to meet the child care providers and these kids at Children’s Choice El Cajon. I heard from their team about how Congress can better support providers and ensure EVERYONE has access to affordable child care.

DOGE’s cuts to IRS auditors will allow billionaires and corporations to get away with tax avoidance schemes while the rest of America faces life-altering cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, education, and rising costs due to Trump’s tariffs.

IRS loses nearly 1 in 3 tax auditors in DOGE cuts, watchdog report finds

The IRS has lost nearly one-third of tax auditors amid DOGE cuts, according to a watchdog report. Here's what to know.

Need another reason to delete DOGE? They’re being careless with your data.

DOGE aims to pool federal data, putting personal information at risk

A centralized system with unprecedented access to data about Social Security, taxes, medical diagnoses and other private information would create vulnerabilities, experts say.

It’s National Small Business Week! We have SO many amazing local small businesses in San Diego to celebrate — here are a few I visited recently!

MAJOR BREAKING: Congresswoman Sara Jacobs has introduced a bill called the DELETE DOGE Act that would completely defund and stop Elon Musk’s operation. This needs to pass.

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

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was, in fact, BIPARTISAN when it passed. Now, Trump is cancelling the $1 BILLION of school-based mental health services this law funded. The House Republicans who voted for this law need to STAND UP and defend this funding.

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

MTG called this “one of the most important things we can do this Congress.” What about: -Protecting Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP -Universal child care -Housing that’s actually affordable -Reversing Trump’s tariffs, lowering costs -Fighting climate change Should I go on?

House approves Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill renaming Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America"

The bill would codify the name change, though it would carry no authority outside the U.S.

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

Better than the hoops I usually have to jump through…

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

Attacking trans kids won’t help Marjorie Taylor Greene’s poll numbers. It’s bad politics and bad policy.

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

Young people in San Diego are already leading and making a positive difference here and around the world. It was amazing to meet Anay – who’s helping refugees and young girls in Kabul get an education – and Zoe and Lilah for their work to address local food insecurity.

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

Unlike other people who pretend to know what they’re talking about on this, I actually represent the country’s biggest military community. Kicking out trans service members is the last thing we need when trans people are TWICE as likely as cis people to join the military.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration may start enforcing a ban on transgender troops serving in the military that had been blocked by lower courts. It will remain in place while challenges to the ban move forward. nyti.ms/434QLnQ

I toured Monarch School – the only school of its kind in the country that serves unhoused students K-12. I’m pushing to protect programs that these students and families rely on – like Medicaid and SNAP – and to lower the cost of housing. youtu.be/_iRA8-kSRUY?...

I was blown away by the creativity of the students in last year’s App Challenge! Congratulations to Milan on winning by building Electrance, which allows users to create and produce music. And congrats to Milia on earning 2nd place with Civics4All, a civics education app.
