Peter Marocco, the man put in charge by President Trump to oversee U.S. foreign assistance, including democracy assistance programs, wouldn’t answer if he was at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 trying to violently overthrow a free and fair election.

By every measure, Donald Trump's tariffs are bad policy. They’re broad – not targeted. They’ll raise costs on American consumers and small businesses. And they won’t even address the fentanyl crisis.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 5(source)

It's absolutely wild to praise Elon Musk and DOGE who broke the law and didn't have the required security clearance to access the personal information of millions of Americans through at least 15 federal agencies – including the Treasury Department and the IRS.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 5(source)

You know what doesn't bring down the cost of eggs, Donald Trump? Firing the workers who were tracking and preventing the spread of avian flu. AND TARIFFS!

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 5(source)

Donald Trump isn't governing “by decorum.” He's breaking the law left and right – illegally gutting federal agencies, firing federal workers, and freezing federal funds. THIS ISN'T NORMAL.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 4(source)

Get ready with me to go to Trump’s joint address.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 4(source)

One reason I’m strongly against Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada: it could raise gas prices in San Diego anywhere from 9 to 20 cents per gallon. You’ll pay more at the pump just because Trump wants to seem “tough.”

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 4(source)

Kianna Shlemon’s family restaurants could LOSE 30% of profit because of Trump’s tariffs. I’m so proud to have her as my guest at tonight’s State of the Union to show Trump just how disastrous these tariffs will be to consumers and small business owners.

Costs could ‘fall on our customers’: San Diego businesses brace for tariffs, uncertainty

San Diego companies that use materials and goods from other nations say in many cases costs would be passed to consumers.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 4(source)

We’re already dealing with a housing crisis in this country. Trump’s tariffs will raise the cost of critical materials like aluminum, steel, and lumber and make it even more expensive to build new housing that’s affordable and safe.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 3(source)

California imports about $61.5 billion in goods from Mexico every year – on things like transportation equipment, computers and electronics, and food. Raise your hand if you want to pay a 25% tax on that. No? Well, President Trump wants you to pay for it.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 3(source)

Together with Rep. Luna and Rep. Pettersen, I am proud to co-lead a bipartisan effort to allow Members of Congress to proxy vote for 6 weeks after they or their spouse gives birth. Congress was designed by and for old men. It’s time we modernize.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 2(source)

Cuts to Medicaid shouldn’t even be on the table. But with the new budget House Republicans passed this week, they’ve made it clear they’ll sacrifice their own constituents in the name of tax cuts for the rich. Shame on them.

More Than 70 Million Americans Are on Medicaid. This Is Where They Live.

As Republicans weigh deep cuts, these congressional districts — some red, some blue — have the most to lose.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 2(source)

San Diegans rely on Mexico for a lot – from trade to tourism to addressing the Tijuana River Valley crisis. We don’t want to hurt that relationship and we don’t want to pay Trump’s ridiculous taxes on goods from Mexico, which kick in on Tuesday.

San Diegans brace for higher gas prices as new tariffs take effect

San Diego drivers could soon feel an even greater financial strain at the pump as the Trump administration moves forward with new tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 2(source)

Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada that will start this week will actually punish American families and small business owners, raising the cost of everything from groceries to housing to gas.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 1(source)

President Trump's transgender military ban is short-sighted and bad for our national security.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 1(source)

Since World War II, the global norms we created – like condemning territorial aggression – have kept us safe and avoided another World War. We shouldn't abandon those norms or abandon Ukraine.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 1(source)

Trump and Musk’s chaotic “move fast, break things” approach is already bad for our economy. And now they’re pushing new taxes on goods from Canada and Mexico – making grocery, gas, and housing more expensive. It’s clear - they’re not working for you.

Economists say Trump tariff threats, DOGE job cuts are 'chilling' the economy

Economists say uncertainty from Trump’s tariff threats and mass layoffs of government workers are starting to have a “chilling” effect on the U.S. economy.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 1(source)

America is safer when we live up to our values – and that means standing up to dictators and defending democracy. The American people still stand with Ukraine.

Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president... Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?... Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 28(source)

So great to talk with nearly 7,000 San Diegans tonight about what I’m doing to protect the most marginalized people in our community and the programs we rely on from President Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 27(source)

Lemon Grove School District’s new and improved Early Childhood Education Center is now open! I’m so proud that I secured over $2 million in federal funds for this center and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things these kids will accomplish thanks to this high-quality care and learning.
