This year, my team helped 1,439 San Diegans who needed assistance with federal agencies and returned over $23 million to San Diegans who were entitled to backpay from the VA, tax refunds, Social Security reimbursements, and more.

If the UAE fails to live up to its commitments to stop arming the RSF in Sudan then Senator Van Hollen and I won’t hesitate to bring up our bill again to block this arms sale to the UAE.

Exclusive: Biden to report to US Congress on UAE assurance it is not supplying weapons to Sudan RSF

President Joe Biden's administration will provide U.S. lawmakers an assessment by Jan. 17 on the credibility of assurances by the United Arab Emirates that it is not providing - and will not provide - weapons to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday.

From my family to yours, Happy Hanukkah! This week, I hope you find comfort and joy in your community and remember that even in darkness, you can find light and hope.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 25(source)

Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful holiday with family and loved ones.

I’m glad my team and I could join other volunteers at the @SDFoodbank and sort through tons of oranges and onions and prepare 12,000 pounds of produce so members of our community can put food on the table.

It’s taken longer than it ever should have to address the Tijuana River Valley crisis – but I’m so proud that our San Diego congressional delegation secured $406 million in federal funds this year to upgrade and expand the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Leaving abortion rights to the states doesn’t actually work – it means taking away health care options, worsening health care outcomes, and intimidating doctors by fining or jailing them.

Texas files first lawsuit against out-of-state abortion provider

This case sets up a legal battle between Texas’ near-total abortion ban and New York’s shield law that protects doctors from out-of-state prosecution.

There was a lot going on yesterday, but one big piece of news was that we passed $500 million for child care assistance! These funds will help repair child care facilities that were damaged by natural disasters and increase access to child care for low-income families.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk were willing to shut down the government in order to recklessly increase the debt ceiling to get a big tax cut for the rich next year, but I’m glad that Democrats and the American people didn’t let that happen.

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

I’m relieved that the House voted to avert a government shutdown tonight, ensuring that millions of service members and federal employees get paid through the holidays and continuing essential government services.

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

Confused what's happening with the debt, deficit, and government shutdown? I break it all down for you right here!

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

Follow this chart to learn the consequences of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s potential government shutdown.

With agreements like this, the next step is trust and verify. Should the UAE fail to live up to its commitments, Sen Van Hollen and I won’t hesitate to bring up our bill to block this arms sale to the UAE again.

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

Because of the UAE, the RSF has had the funding and capabilities to wage this war for over 18 months, creating the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and destabilizing the region. The UAE stopping this support would make negotiation and ultimately a ceasefire more likely.

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

Today, the Administration sent us assurances that the UAE has committed to stop arming the RSF, and that the Administration will assess whether the UAE has kept its promise by January 17.

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

For months, I’ve pushed the Biden Administration to use our leverage – as one of the UAE’s biggest arms suppliers – to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF in Sudan. That’s why @vanhollen.senate.gov and I proposed legislation to block a recent arms sale to the UAE.

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

Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to pay even less in federal taxes next year. That’s why they’re holding the government hostage so that they can pass huge tax cuts for the rich next year and pay for it by cutting Medicare and Social Security.

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

Maybe someone should tell DOGE that government shutdowns aren’t efficient or cost effective? The 2013 and 2018 ones (again led by House Republicans) cost our economy billions of dollars each.

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

Had the best time celebrating Hanukkah at the White House with President Biden and at the Naval Observatory with Vice President Harris!

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

There’s no better way to christen my new office than with Cutwater. And I’m especially excited to be neighbors on both coasts with @repmikelevin.bsky.social, and now with Rep. Darren Soto!
