On CNN we played numerous examples of Rubio praising foreign aid as vital to American interests. We also revealed a letter he wrote to Biden in 2022 suggesting USAID's budget needed to be increased to counter Chinese Community Party influence around the globe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL1s...

I will keep fighting until every person in every state has the right to access contraception.

Elon Musk's elimination of USAID is illegal – and we will keep fighting back to stop and reverse it.

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

No one wants another indefinite U.S. military occupation in the Middle East or anywhere else. This is ethnic cleansing – and this is Palestinian land, not ours. The best path for long-term peace and security is a two-state solution.

Trump: "The US will take over the Gaza Strip."

Breaking down Elon Musk’s attempted coup and Democrats’ 4 part strategy to counter it.

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

You don't say an organization "needs to die" when your goal is government efficiency. This is a coup to grab power and silence critics. We'll see Elon in court.

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

USAID has saved millions of babies' lives. Don't care about that? They stop diseases from reaching the U.S. and help us create allies and partnerships. If we leave the world stage, the PRC will fill the void. Don't care about that? Eliminating USAID without an act of Congress is illegal.

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

We’re already facing a severe housing shortage and affordability crisis – and now, President Trump’s tariffs will make it worse. It will worsen supply chain issues and raise the costs of building materials like lumber and steel from Canada – increasing YOUR housing prices.

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

This is illegal. Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to eliminate USAID; only an act of Congress can do that. Lawsuits are underway and we are doing oversight to try to stop this.

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

Meal prepping tonight? Making school lunches? Get ready because starting Tuesday, your grocery bill will go up because of President Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada on everything from strawberries and avocados to coffee, tomatoes, and beef.

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

It's sad that I have to say this but: 1. USAID isn't a criminal organization 2. It's not a front for the CIA 3. It's not a roundabout way to fund the Democratic Party I'm all for a good-faith conversation about how to make USAID more efficient – but we're so far from that.

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

Kicking out thousands of service members – who are qualified and meet our standards – hurts our military readiness. Yet President Trump is still taking steps to ban trans service members – even though it would take 20 years and billions of dollars to replace their expertise.

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

Mexicans won’t be the only ones paying for these tariffs, Americans will too. These tariffs will hurt local border economies like San Diego, hurt U.S. manufacturers, and drive up costs and inflation for consumers – all WITHOUT addressing the fentanyl crisis.

Trump slaps tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, risking higher prices for U.S. consumers

The new levies on America’s top trade partners could drive prices higher for cars, electronics, lumber and more, threatening to crimp an economy that the president has vowed to improve.

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

I’ve led bipartisan legislation to make foreign assistance more effective. But this plan will not do that. Trump cannot eliminate USAID without an act of Congress. This plan and his foreign aid freeze are putting our national security and millions of lives in danger.

1/NEW: My colleagues Robbie Gramer & Daniel Lippman & I address the question on many people’s minds in Washington: Is Trump going to shut down USAID? (This version is behind a paywall, but I’ll post the free version once it’s available in the coming hour): subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

After the severe flooding last year, so many San Diegans struggled to navigate the disaster recovery process that over 30 different federal agencies manage. That’s why I introduced legislation to simplify and expedite the disaster recovery process.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 31(source)

Grateful to my team for waking up early yesterday morning to help collect data on the needs of people experiencing homelessness in San Diego. This information helps give us the full picture so we can accurately tackle this crisis.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 30(source)

When Democrats controlled Congress and the White House, we did a lot of great things – but we failed to address young people’s two biggest costs: child care and housing. If we want to win back the support of young people, that’s where we need to start.

I’m a Millennial Congresswoman. This Is How Democrats Lost Touch With Young Voters.

Rep. Sara Jacobs, one of the youngest members of Congress, says her party needs to act on issues like the housing crisis.

The flooding last year in San Diego and the wildfires now in LA and San Diego have left people unhoused, traumatized, and struggling to know where to turn for federal assistance. That’s why I introduced a bill to help fix our broken disaster recovery process.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 29(source)

I actually represent a border community, so I know President Donald Trump’s immigration executive orders will make the problems at our southern border even worse. Watch while I break it all down for you.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 29(source)

By lowering the costs of child care and housing, we can give young people a reason to trust our institutions and people in power.
