Secretary Hegseth lied. He said again and again that he didn't reveal any classified information – but any information anticipating the timing of an attack is classified. It's not enough for Secretary Hegseth to resign. President Trump should fire him.

So amazing to join the Expanding Your Horizons Conference and meet so many young women who are going to take the STEM field by storm!

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 25(source)

@scrippsocean.bsky.social's research helps protect our national security, economy, and human health and fight the climate crisis. But now, NIH and NSF grants have been cut off. Grad students are applying for jobs abroad. We are losing the future of science and innovation.

We’re now accepting submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Challenge! One winning art piece from CA-51 will be displayed in the Capitol for the year. I dropped by Mira Mesa High School to encourage them to apply – and you should too! Apply by April 21st: sarajacobs.house.gov/services/art...

Dismantling the Department of Education will hurt so many students, educators, and families. This is flat-out illegal, and it’s being challenged in the courts.

Trump Administration Is Sued Over Push to Dismantle Education Department

The lawsuits accuse the government of dismantling the department without the required approval of Congress.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 24(source)

USD students (and all students!) have worked SO hard to get where they are. Trump’s move to dismantle the Department of Ed – and end Pell Grants and federal student loans – could take away their chance to earn a degree and their hopes for a better future.

Republicans are fighting to take away health care from low-income families to pay for tax cuts for billionaires so they can afford more yachts, jets, and vacation homes.

Lawmakers paint dire ‘real-world’ picture of possible Medi-Cal cuts

Two California legislators discuss the potential impact of Medi-Cal cuts to health care throughout San Diego County.

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

Cuts to Medi-Cal (AKA Medicaid) would be devastating. 1 in 6 people in San Diego County, including almost 300,000 children, rely on it for health care coverage. Republicans want to sacrifice health care for real people to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Congressional Democrats hear about impact of potential Medi-Cal, Medicaid cuts

Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-San Diego, was joined by Sen. Alex Padilla Thursday to discuss the importance of protecting California's Medi- Cal program amid potential cuts from the federal government.

Delilah is one of 5 million kids who rely on Medi-Cal in California. She receives critical coverage for numerous medical appointments, treatments, and support coordinating between her specialists and her school. Medi-Cal is a lifeline. I will never stop fighting to save it.

Democratic leaders, healthcare providers sound alarm against potential Medi-Cal cuts

U.S. Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla visited San Diego Wednesday to discuss potential healthcare cuts.

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

So great to meet with SEIU-UHW to hear firsthand how Republicans’ proposed Medicaid cuts would hurt their ability to care for patients. These cuts would prevent life-saving medical care and put even more strain on providers. I’m fighting every day to stop this.

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

I joined the Rolando Community Council meeting to share an update on what I’m doing in Congress to push back against Trump and Republicans’ attacks on our kids, health care, and democracy. Thank you for showing up, sharing your stories, and joining me in this fight.

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

Trump is attacking students, families, educators, and schools by ILLEGALLY dismantling the Dept. of Education. Help me fight back. Share your story.

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

The LGBTQ+ community – from trans service members to queer kids – deserves respect and to live free from discrimination. Our fight for equality has never been more urgent and that’s why I’m so grateful to be doing this work alongside groups like San Diego Pride.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 20(source)

Trump just signed an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. You need to know: 1) This is ILLEGAL and WILL be challenged in the courts. Only Congress has this authority. 2) This is an ATTACK on students, families, educators, and schools. Kids will pay the price.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
