The UAE broke its promises and is still arming the RSF in Sudan, ensuring one of the world’s worst humanitarian and displacement crises continues. I will push to ensure the U.S. uses its full leverage and I will seek to block the next arms sale to the UAE.

US lawmakers find UAE provides weapons to Sudan RSF; UAE denies this

Two U.S. lawmakers will keep trying to block arms sales to the United Arab Emirates, having determined that the UAE is providing weapons to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's civil war, they said on Friday.

TLDR: People want to make their own health care decisions – no matter what.

Surge in Americans getting sterilizations given states’ abortion laws

Interest in tubal ligations and vasectomies has skyrocketed in the past two years, according to research and health-care providers.

Here’s why I’m voting against Republicans’ so-called “Born Alive” bill:

This is still true AND it would cost $83 billion to implement over the next three years so I voted no (again).

I think we can all agree that Laken Riley’s murder was tragic. Could there potentially be legislation that prevents a similar tragedy in the future? Maybe. Is the Laken Riley Act the answer? No and here’s why:

On what should have been the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I'm still fighting to protect the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion access.

Our San Diego congressional delegation has brought home $650 million in federal funds to double the capacity of the South Bay plant – bringing us so much closer to finally ending the Tijuana River Valley crisis. We will keep working until this gets done.

No matter what you think of what happened on January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump pardoned people who were convicted in a court of law of assaulting police officers with bats, fire extinguishers, batons, planks, and poles.

Cracking down on legal immigration and forcing mass detention and deportation won’t lower the cost of living. In fact, it will raise costs – especially around food and construction.

🚨🚨Click here for more information about an evacuation order right now in Mission Valley. Listen to local officials and stay aware, the situation is rapidly changing:

Brush fire in Mission Valley prompts evacuations

A hillside brush fire ignited Tuesday afternoon near Avenida De Las Tiendas in Mission Valley.

Too often, America's gut instinct is to use our military to solve problems, but a militarized approach could strengthen the cartels. We need to address what's fueling cartels and forcing people to flee their homes: the lack of opportunity, corruption, and weak rule of law.

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

I believe most people want an orderly immigration system - immigrants fill our workforce shortages and pay taxes that fund programs like Social Security. But President Trump’s immigration executive orders will make the process less orderly, more chaotic, and more expensive.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “the line of progress is never straight.” Today, we’re reminded of his life and legacy and we will keep working to overcome the many obstacles ahead to secure justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

Take a look at what a transgender military ban under Donald Trump’s Administration could look like – by the numbers:

Former Members of Congress agree too! We need to make Congress more modern and representative of the American people. That’s why I’m fighting to pass 12 weeks of parental leave for Members after they or their spouse gives birth.

My bill, the Ensuring Military Readiness Not Discrimination Act, would ban discrimination in the military and protect transgender service members. Without these protections, thousands of service members could lose their jobs, and it would cost $18 billion to replace them.

I may not agree with Donald Trump (and I didn’t vote for him), but here’s why I'm attending his inauguration:

I was proud to recognize National Electrical Contractors Association Board President, Craig Earley, for his service to San Diego, leadership in the electrical construction industry, and work to ensure our communities are powered, bright, and connected.

I’ve had so much fun celebrating the Karen New Year over the years, so I was excited to be back to enjoy the delicious food, music, and dancing once again. And I even got to make a fun bookmark with Paantine this year!

If Donald Trump reinstates a trans military ban, it wouldn’t only be hateful and discriminatory – it could be costly to the tune of $18 billion. That’s why Congressman Eric Sorensen and I introduced legislation to prevent another trans military ban.

House Democrat To Introduce Bill Against Trans Military Ban

The legislation from Rep. Sara Jacobs of California would seek to counter a move Donald Trump has promised to make as early as his first day back in office.
