The USAID Inspector General found that Elon Musk’s illegal gutting of USAID has left oversight controls “largely non-operational” – which means what Elon Musk is doing is actually INCREASING the possibility of waste, fraud, and abuse.

So grateful that my staff could drop off hundreds of Valentine’s Day cards made by students at Hancock Elementary for our local veterans. I’m so grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made for all of us. Happy Valentine’s Day! #ValentinesforVeterans

Image of 2 people holding a valentines box and sign that says "Valentines for Veterans."

The inside of a Valentine's Day card made by a child. On the left, text says "Dear Veteran, you are kind you are strong never doubt yourself love yourself." The card is decorated with drawings of hearts and rainbow by the child.

Many rows of valentines cards decorated and created by children are arranged in many rows on a flat surface.

I joined #PodSavetheWorld to talk about how Trump and Elon Musk’s freeze of USAID funding is putting U.S. national security at risk – especially with a new Ebola outbreak in Uganda. @crooked.com

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

President Trump and Elon Musk have shut down USAID and foreign assistance – those “waivers” they talk about don’t work. This means they’ve shut down passenger screenings at airports for diseases like Ebola or Marburg, putting American lives directly in danger.

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

Trump and Elon Musk’s foreign assistance freeze doesn’t keep Americans safe and doesn’t address waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s because this isn’t about more oversight or doing any kind of reform. It’s about completely gutting foreign assistance itself.

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

It feels like Groundhog Day. House Republicans are pushing another bad-faith immigration bill that takes away due process – but this time, you can be deported without being charged or convicted for “evading” law enforcement, even if you don’t know that's what you're doing.

A summary of Elon Musk and DOGE’s goals:

Nothing says the country is run by billionaires more than cutting off health care and food for millions of low-income people – especially kids!

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

#CookWithMe while I explain how everything Trump and Elon Musk are doing is connected, and what we are doing about it.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 12(source)

#CookWithMe, while I explain how gutting USAID, preventing avian-borne diseases, and the price of eggs, are all related – plus my new bill to protect USAID!

Trump is ignoring Congress’ long-standing right to review arms sales and wants to spend BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars without proper review. This is why we have checks and balances in the first place.

Trump Administration Moves to Send $8 Billion in Arms to Israel, Bypassing Some Lawmakers

President Biden announced the arms sales at the end of his administration, and President Trump is pushing it soon after his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

There were over 75,500 cases of sexual assault in the military in 2021 – and yet military sexual assault trainings were paused. That’s why Rep. Chrissy Houlahan and I led all the Democratic women on the House Armed Services Committee to get answers.

'Not Only Irresponsible But Also Dangerous': Democrats Demand Answers on Paused Military Sexual Assault Training

Democratic women on the House Armed Services Committee are demanding the Defense Department explain why at least some military services have paused sexual assault prevention training amid of a review ...

House Democrats have a deep bench of talent – and we’ll keep leveraging it. I’m introducing legislation to protect USAID, my colleagues have introduced legislation to keep Elon Musk out of the Treasury’s payment systems, and we’ll keep fighting back.

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

USAID keeps Americans safe from diseases and terrorism and promotes American farms and businesses. That’s why I introduced legislation today to reiterate that it’s illegal to dismantle USAID without an act of Congress and to prohibit any funds to do so.

Democratic lawmakers to introduce bill aimed at halting elimination of USAID

A group of Democratic U.S. lawmakers will introduce a bill on Tuesday aimed at stopping the Trump administration from using government funds to eliminate the U.S. Agency for International Development, the sponsor of the bill told Reuters, in the latest push to halt the president's moves to close the agency.

When I point out all the Republicans (like Secretary Rubio, Sen. Bill Cassidy, Sen. Jerry Moran, Rep. Michael McCaul, and all the Republicans on the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party) who’ve historically supported USAID.

The CFPB is quite literally a model for government efficiency. It stops predatory and abusive financial schemes and has returned $20 billion!!! to victims of financial fraud and abuse. It does good work AND is protected by law. We’re going to fight to protect it.

Freezing U.S. foreign assistance means people will starve, babies will die, and poverty will skyrocket.

Panicked USAID Workers Grapple with Defunding of Humanitarian Efforts: 'People Will Starve, Babies Will Die' (Exclusive)

Abandoned, without a job and with an uncertain return home — that’s the scenario for a multitude of overseas staff doing the humanitarian work of the U.S. Agency for International Development. PEOPLE ...

Millions of Sudanese children are starving – and President Trump just cut off their live-saving support. I will keep fighting to restore USAID and U.S. foreign assistance so we can save lives.

Sudan's civil war is starving thousands of children. Aid workers say Trump's aid freeze could cost more lives.

Sudan's civil war is starving millions of civilians, who rely largely on foreign aid that has come from the U.S. more than anywhere else.

If only our own lawmakers had this same level of courage and urgency.
