Meet 5-year-old Delilah and 2-year-old Cesar. THESE are the faces of kids who will lose health care when Republicans cut at least $880 billion from Medicaid/Medi-Cal. @padilla.senate.gov and I will keep sharing these amazing stories and fighting for everyone who relies on Medicaid.

Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of building a single-family home in the U.S. by $7,500 - $10,000. Just one way these tariffs are going to be paid by Americans. San Diego’s housing prices are already way too high, and this will only make them worse.

Tariffs on lumber and appliances set stage for higher costs on new homes and remodeling projects

Shopping for a new home? Ready to renovate your kitchen or install a new deck? You’ll be paying more to do so.

Some of my Republican colleagues in Congress have told me Trump defying a court order was their red line. Well, it's happening - but where are they? We need to hold their feet to the fire. Our Constitution is at stake.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 19(source)

There's no better time for House Republicans to be on the right side of history and cosponsor my bill – H.R. 1196, the Protect U.S. National Security Act – to prohibit funds from being used to eliminate USAID. 👀

Judge rules DOGE's USAID dismantling likely violates the Constitution

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the Constitution in an order that blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Effic...

Amazing to see the courts stand on the side of our transgender service members who are talented, skilled, and have sacrificed so much for all of us.

Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s ban on transgender service members, saying it’s ‘soaked in animus’ | CNN Politics

A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.

Join me for a virtual town hall this Saturday at 12pm! I’ll give an update about how Trump, Elon Musk, and House Republicans’ are tearing apart the federal government and my work to fight back – and I’ll take questions from YOU. RSVP: tinyurl.com/sarajacobstownhall

It was an honor to join the Ahmadiyya Muslim community for Iftar. To everyone observing – Ramadan Kareem!

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

In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution. Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

White House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies Act

Trump officials said the deportations don’t violate a judge’s order barring use of the Alien Enemies Act for removals — but also questioned the order’s validity.

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

So great to talk with folks at BAPAC SD who were rightfully worried about Trump and Musk’s attacks on our democracy and critical services. But we aren’t powerless. We are fighting back through legislation, litigation, oversight, and public pressure.

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

Trump is gutting the Department of Education, which supports students, prevents discrimination, and funds afterschool and summer programs. In #CA51, that cuts: - $82 million for students with disabilities - $33 million to feed kids at school - $28.4 million for low-income Title I schools

DOGE says they’re closing down these offices in San Diego. As always, if you need help with a federal agency, please reach out to my office. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/investi...

I’ll do the math: that’s $1,829 per month for infant care and $1,085 per month for a 4-year old’s care. A stark reminder from @epi.org of just how unaffordable child care in California is. We need a universal, affordable child care system NOW.

Trump Tariffs + firing people who prevent the avian flu = 10% spike in egg prices

US inflation cooled last month, though trade war threatens to lift prices

U.S. inflation slowed last month for the first time since September even as additional tariffs on steel and aluminum kicked in Wednesday that could send prices higher.

My thoughts on the Republican majority’s poor excuse for a Continuing Resolution:

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

The inevitable result of Trump’s reckless tariffs: an escalating trade war that will cost you money.

E.U., Canada retaliate against Trump’s tariffs as trade war escalates

As President Donald Trump’s global steel and aluminum tariffs took effect, the E.U. and Canada responded with their own levies, including on bourbon and motorcycles.

Trump's freeze of USAID funds has cost people's lives. Privately, some House Republicans have told me they're concerned -- but the time for private conversations is OVER. I'm calling on them to sign on to my bill to actually protect USAID and our national security.

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

And there it is: Elon Musk called entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare) “the big one to eliminate.” Republicans need to grow a spine and denounce this before Trump and DOGE cut YOUR health care and retirement.

‘Big one to eliminate’: Elon Musk spotlights cost of federal entitlements amid fear of cuts to programs | CNN Politics

Elon Musk on Monday highlighted the cost of federal spending on entitlement programs, the latest sign of the tech billionaire and presidential adviser’s focus to downsize the federal government amid f...

Last time I checked, canceling $60 million to build affordable housing developments wouldn’t actually make it easier for people to afford their rent.

Trump administration throws hundreds of affordable housing projects into limbo after contract cuts

The Associated Press has found that the Trump administration has stalled at least $60 million in funding intended largely for affordable housing developments nationwide.

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

Burning and shredding classified documents and personnel files? That doesn’t scream “what we’re doing is legal” to me. This should alarm every House Republican and they should sign onto my bill to protect USAID and our national security.

USAID workers told to shred, burn documents, unnerving Congress

The directive to destroy USAID documents raised questions about how sensitive records are being handled amid the Trump administration’s drive to cut foreign aid.

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

I'm not surprised that ICE has transferred all immigrants from Guantanamo Bay back to stateside facilities. When I was there, it was clear that this "plan" was too costly, complicated, inefficient, and cruel.
