All of our service members – including trans service members – keep us safe and that’s why I’ll do everything I can to keep them safe. Thank you to the patriots of SPARTA Pride for talking with me about what it’s like as a trans person currently serving in our military.

In San Diego County, 1 in 6 people rely on Medicaid. That's why I hosted a Medicaid roundtable in El Cajon yesterday to hear directly from people who these cuts will impact. This isn't a faceless program – cutting Medicaid would do serious harm.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 22(source)

Nicole shared with me that Medicaid cuts would mean she can’t afford even one month of medication for her son with special needs. I heard so many powerful stories like hers at San Ysidro Health’s El Cajon clinic – and that’s why I’ll keep fighting for Medicaid.

Abortion bans kill women.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

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

This report is just the latest proof that the sewage flowing through the Tijuana River Valley is making San Diegans sick. I've brought home $650 million dollars of federal funding to address the Tijuana River Valley crisis and I will keep working until we finally end this crisis.

Navy SEALs face health risks from toxic sewage exposure, report finds

The Navy SEALs are reporting a spike in pollution-related sickness due to the increasing amount of sewage from Mexico that has contaminated their training grounds, with the Navy Inspector General r…

#GRWM while I explain how Republicans’ budget proposal to cut $2.5 trillion from Medicaid will affect you.

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

Unlike Elon Musk and Trump, I am actually working to improve government efficiency and effectiveness. With over 30+ agencies involved, our current federal disaster relief process is way too complex for survivors to navigate. I introduced a bill to help fix that system.

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

Cutting off legal aid for migrant children and abandoning them to face our confusing immigration system alone is simply unjust. Trump is leaving these kids vulnerable to exploitation and denying their rights to due process.

Lawyers helping migrant children facing deportation ordered by Trump administration to "stop all work"

Affected organizations said the move would prevent them from offering critical legal services to migrant children who crossed the U.S. southern border without their parents or legal guardians.

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

This is straight out of the Project 2025 playbook. Tracking and surveilling pregnancy is dangerous and should be off-limits.

Missouri Republican proposes ‘e-Harmony for babies’ database to track pregnant women

Abortion rights advocates slam legislation that proposes sharing data with law enforcement

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

The federal disaster recovery system IS broken – but Trump’s mass firings won’t fix it. Instead, people who have already lost everything to fires, hurricanes, and flooding will be forced to wait even longer for relief. Disaster survivors need real reform, not a wrecking ball.

FEMA is losing scores of employees. What does that mean for disaster recovery?

Cuts at the Federal Emergency Management Agency could affect people across the country who are struggling to rebuild and prepare for disasters.

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

I’m deeply skeptical about this – but I’d love to be proven wrong. How about President Trump starts by supporting my legislation to expand IVF coverage for all service members and dependents – something I’ve championed for years and will soon introduce?

Trump signs executive order expanding access to IVF, says White House

Order directs domestic policy council to suggest ways to ‘aggressively’ reduce cost of accessing in vitro fertilization

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

DOGE needs to hear this: firing people – like USDA workers tracking bird flu and VA workers answering the Veterans Crisis Line – and then rehiring them is deeply inefficient.

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

Trump said he wouldn’t touch Medicaid. He lied. (Shocking, I know.) Today, Trump fully endorsed House Republicans’ proposal to cut federal Medicaid funds by $2.5 trillion. Here’s what that could mean for you:

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

The best way to end the horrific war and genocide in Sudan is to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF. As one of the biggest arms suppliers to the UAE, the U.S. has the leverage here – and we need to use it. That’s why I will again try to block the next U.S. arms sale to the UAE.

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

Our trans service members are an asset to our Armed Forces. Many of them are senior-enlisted, have deployed multiple times, and have invaluable experience. Kicking them out would cost our country billions of dollars.

Democratic lawmakers lead congressional push to reverse Trump’s transgender military ban

California Democratic U.S. Rep. Sara Jacobs is leading the charge.

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

USAID helps keep Americans safe from diseases, terrorism, and instability around the world – and dismantling it is illegal without an act of Congress. That’s why I introduced legislation to reiterate existing law and prohibit funds from being used to eliminate USAID.

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

And you know what won’t help rising housing prices and inflation? President Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum.

What’s propping up inflation? Blame housing | CNN Business

Home prices across the country are still rising at a faster clip than overall inflation, causing sticker shock for house hunters.

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

Elon Musk is trying to pay for his own tax cuts with your health care.

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

I introduced a new bill to protect #USAID. If I had introduced it in December, it would have had broad bipartisan support. But now, Republicans are silent. #PodSavetheWorld

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

Don’t fall for this. The Life at Conception Act bans abortion, restricts IVF, and polices pregnancy.

Two Illinois legislators support labeling unborn American children as 'persons' in bill

A Congressman has introduced a bill that would label unborn children as people in the eyes of the law. Two Congress members from Illinois support it.
