Trump’s tariffs are about to make your Amazon cart even more expensive.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says he believes sellers will pass increased tariff costs on to consumers

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said he thinks third-party sellers "will pass costs on" to consumers as a result of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 13(source)

Thought the tariff drama was over? Think again. Trump’s latest tariff scheme – his blanket 10% tariffs on all countries plus the 145% tariffs on China – will actually cost YOU more than his other tariff plan from last week.🤦‍♀️

San Diego and New York City were tied for the highest inflation rate in the country in March. You know what doesn’t help that? On again, off again tariffs and zero action on reducing the costs of child care and housing.

San Diego tied for highest inflation in the U.S.

New York and San Diego had an inflation rate of 3.8% in March.

Take it from me: we need to tax rich people MORE. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are stealing from YOU to give themselves bigger tax cuts. But we are fighting back!

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 11(source)

San Diego is already in a child care crisis and Trump’s cuts to Head Start have made it worse – closing five regional Head Start offices and counting.

Federal Head Start office closures leave child care providers uncertain

Providers say they don't know who to call about grant funding, staffing and other federal regulations.

The most important thing to know about DOGE: they’re stealing from the American people to fund tax cuts for the rich. That’s why I introduced the Delete DOGE Act to stop them.

DOGE faces being defunded under "Delete DOGE Act": What to know

Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs introduced the Delete DOGE Act on April 3, seeking to defund the Elon Musk-led initiative.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 11(source)

DOGE is struggling to find *any* fraud in Social Security – but they’re still going to delay your benefits.

Why DOGE is struggling to find fraud in Social Security

Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the agency’s spending.

Instead of more war toys, let’s have universal child care.

Trump, Hegseth promise record $1 trillion Pentagon budget

The surprise announcement comes as the Defense Department prepares to lay off tens of thousands of civilians.

Hearing from YOU is an important part of my job. That’s why I’m hosting a town hall in El Cajon on April 22nd. I hope you’ll register and join me! www.eventbrite.com/e/town-hall-...

House Republicans want the rich to get even richer. They just advanced a budget that takes away YOUR health care and ability to put food on the table.

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

Today, House Republicans are putting the SAVE Act on the Floor, which will suppress the vote of millions of Americans and do nothing to secure our elections. I will be voting NO.

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

They’re not just going after criminals. They’re taking away legal ways to enter the U.S. and kicking out people who entered “the right way.” Let’s call it what it is: this is about kicking out all immigrants who aren’t white.

Migrants who entered U.S. via Biden-era CBP One app stripped of legal status, told to leave "immediately"

Migrants who came to the U.S. via a Biden-era online appointment app have been told to leave "immediately" in a message from the Department of Homeland Security.

Will he or won’t he? #WhiteLotus #TheWhiteLotus

The on again off again tariffs don’t win us any favors with our partners and allies – or our adversaries. It shows that the U.S. isn’t true to our word – so why bother negotiating with us or investing in America?

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

I had so much fun this weekend at the Egg Hunt in San Carlos! Thanks to the San Diego Parks and Rec Department for hosting this great event for our community. Happy Spring! 🐰🐣🌸

Fetal personhood laws that give embryos equal rights as a person are dangerous for women. They can be used to arrest someone for having an abortion, a stillbirth, or a miscarriage – like what happened to Selena in Georgia. We can't let fetal personhood become federal law.

Woman's arrest after miscarriage in Georgia draws fear and anger

Experts say the arrest is part of a pattern of criminalizing pregnancy that has accelerated since the fall of Roe v. Wade.

Final proxy voting update: Republicans killed our bill. We will keep fighting for new parents in Congress and across this country. EVERYONE deserves parental leave.

UPDATE: Speaker Johnson's "deal" isn't good enough, so @pettersen.house.gov and I are motioning to discharge our proxy voting resolution to the floor TODAY. New parents should be allowed to vote. Stay tuned.

I’m heartbroken and outraged to see UCSD and SDSU students become pawns in Trump’s immigration games. These young people have so much to offer our universities and communities and deserve to continue their education. We will continue to fight this.

San Diego State University student visa revoked, university confirms

The university confirmed on Monday that the notice came without any prior information as to why the student's visa was revoked.

Just so we’re all clear: The economy is spiraling under Trump’s new tariffs, essential programs like Medicare/Medicaid are under attack, and yet all Republicans want is to pass more tax breaks for billionaires… Got it.

Senate GOP passes budget plan, setting up a critical next phase for Trump agenda

The vote brings Republicans a step closer to finalizing a sweeping plan to address defense, energy, immigration and tax policy. But a number of potential wildcards must still be sorted out.
