No probable cause. No offer for a lawyer. No hearing. This is what’s happening in Trump’s America: U.S. citizens are being detained by ICE and swept up into immigration raids because they don’t “look” American. This is illegal.

Secretary Hegseth had ANOTHER group chat, where he shared the flight schedules for imminent U.S. strikes in Yemen. How careless can you be with operational details and our service members’ lives? How many other Signal chats exist? Trump needs to fire Hegseth today.

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat

The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

We agreed that neither the SAF nor RSF should have a role in the future of Sudan. We need an immediate end to this war and a return to a civilian-led government.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 21(source)

The crisis in Sudan demands U.S. attention and action. Last week, I went to the UAE and met with Dr. Anwar Gargash, Advisor to the President. I condemned the RSF’s attacks in Darfur and made it clear that I will block U.S. arms sales to the UAE until they end support to the RSF.

Ensuring nursing homes are properly staffed. Protecting miners from inhaling hazardous materials. Keeping planes, baby formula, meat, drinking water, and your workplace safe. These kinds of rules save lives. Trump and DOGE want to slash and burn them.

Inside Trump’s Plan to Halt Hundreds of Regulations

The White House will soon move to rapidly repeal or freeze rules that affect health, food, workplace safety, transportation and more.

ICYMI: 23andMe went bankrupt and now your DNA tests may be sold to the highest bidder. The best way to protect your sensitive personal information – like sexual or reproductive health data – is for Congress to pass my bill, the My Body, My Data Act.

US House committee seeks testimony from 23andMe co-founder after bankruptcy

A U.S. House committee on Tuesday asked 23andMe's co-founder to testify next month as it launched an investigation into the risk of genetic data being transferred to potential buyers amid the DNA testing company's bankruptcy.

Elon Musk admitted DOGE is failing at its own goal. But remember, the whole reason Elon Musk is gutting our government services to find “savings” in the first place is to justify HUGE tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. This was never about efficiency.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress

Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 18(source)

Republican math is wanting to pay for tax cuts for the 1% by zeroing out the budget for Head Start. Head Start has a 6:1 return on investment! Make it make sense.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 17(source)

Eliminating Head Start would worsen our nation’s child care crisis, pull parents out of the workforce, and reverse our work to fight inequality and poverty.

Exclusive: Trump budget proposal would fully eliminate Head Start

The White House's budget proposes eliminating Head Start, an early childhood education program that provides services to low-income families.

House Republicans voted for massive cuts to Medicaid, no matter what lies they try to tell you. I’m fighting back, but I need YOU to share your stories – how will Medicaid cuts affect you?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 16(source)

Medicaid coverage allows seniors and people with disabilities to receive long-term, in-home care and live with dignity. It supports hardworking family caregivers and keeps communities whole. Trump and House Republicans want to rip away these benefits, forcing families to bear the costs instead.

How cutting Medicaid would affect long-term care and family caregivers

The federal program is the biggest source of money for long-term care for the elderly and disabled. Republican proposals to cut its budget could jeopardize supports family and caregivers rely on.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 16(source)

Trump’s tariffs are hurting AMERICAN businesses and AMERICAN consumers. To avoid going through Congress, Trump is abusing a ridiculous “emergency” declaration to enact these import taxes. The only emergency here is the economic chaos and higher costs these tariffs are causing.

U.S. businesses sue to block Trump tariffs, say trade deficits are not an emergency

The Trump administration's argument is undercut by its imposing tariffs on countries the U.S. does not have a trade deficit with, the plaintiffs say.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 15(source)

This is just the beginning. Elon Musk is setting the stage for all of his companies to be the middleman for the federal government – even if it makes zero sense (only 7% of seniors over 65 are on X).

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X

The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.

President Trump and Elon Musk are coming after Social Security. They're closing local offices and firing the workers who make sure people get the money they've earned – just to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 15(source)

Lying about a citizenship interview to arrest someone isn’t clever; it’s cruel. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful U.S. resident. His unlawful detention is another attack on everyone’s First Amendment and due process rights.

Every Part of This ICE Arrest Is Horrific—Especially the Location

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student leader at Columbia University, was arrested in a trap set by federal immigration agents.

President Trump is seeing what he can get away with. If he can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia off to a prison in El Salvador without any consequences, he can (and will) do the same to American citizens. We’re fighting to make sure he abides by the Constitution.

Because of President Trump’s trade war, Americans are expecting unemployment and inflation to rise. All pain, no gain for our economy.

Americans are rarely this pessimistic about the economy.

Who could have seen this coming? (Everyone)

As Trump alienates allies with US tariffs, China is poised to exploit the gaps

Donald Trump is trying to to turn his global trade war into a one-on-one showdown with China. In doing so, he’s alienated some of the key U.S. partners who could boost America’s position in a fight be...
