It’s clear our child care system isn’t working when parents are forced to choose between their career and getting child care assistance. I’m pushing to invest in a universal, affordable child care system that actually works for people and ensures every family can get the care they need.

Parents are quitting jobs, passing on raises — to qualify for child care

About 10 percent of families who are eligible actually get child care assistance

One reason I ran for Congress was to ensure we're keeping up with challenges like emerging tech. I’m proud of the wins I secured in the Bipartisan AI Task Force's report from AI global governance to empowering sectoral regulators to preventing AI from launching nuclear weapons.

I'm devastated to see another school shooting in the headlines, another community under attack, another group of kids traumatized. We don’t have to live like this, going from one school shooting to the next. We need to pass laws that end the gun violence epidemic once & for all.

Abundant Life Christian School shooting in Madison: Teen student, teacher killed; 6 students hurt

A teacher and teenage student were killed and six students were hurt in a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday, police said.

There are too many gaps in our current health care system – leaving people without access to care or priced out of it entirely. Most Americans agree it’s the government’s responsibility to guarantee access to health care *for everyone* so let’s make it happen and pass Medicare for All.

More Americans say health care is government responsibility: Gallup

Sixty-two percent of Americans say it’s the federal government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health care coverage, a survey from Gallup found. The figure is the highest it’s been in more …

Two years ago, President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law. I’m so proud to have voted for it – to help protect and honor marriages like my brother and sister-in-law’s and so many others that have been created and affirmed in the years since the landmark Obergefell ruling.

We’ve made progress in improving privatized military housing, but we still have more work to do. That’s why I’m proud to introduce bipartisan and bicameral legislation to overhaul the system, improve privatized housing, and protect military families.

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

We should be supporting our service members and military families who sacrifice so much for us – not restricting health care access and undermining our military readiness, retention, and recruitment. That’s why I voted against this year’s NDAA.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Another day, another episode of Veep

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

But we won’t give up this fight. We will continue working to expand all reproductive care options for our military families who’ve sacrificed so much for us and who’ve earned the right to build their families.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

That’s why we fought so hard for TRICARE coverage of IVF and other assisted reproductive technology for our service members and their spouses. This would have been life-changing for so many people – and would have gone a long way to address recruitment and retention challenges.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Next year, Members of Congress and federal staff will get IVF coverage as part of their health care – denying that same standard to our service members is beyond hypocritical and proves that we’re not operating by the same rules as everyone else.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Our military families have sacrificed so much for us already. They shouldn’t have to choose between serving their country and having a family – or be saddled with the high costs of IVF.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Paying for IVF out-of-pocket can cost tens of thousands of dollars per cycle. Many military families already struggle to afford child care, safe housing, and food on the table – they simply can’t afford IVF on their own.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Our service members often spend their prime reproductive years in dangerous, hazardous conditions or physically separated from their partner. So it’s unsurprising that ⅔ of service members report family-building challenges because of their military service.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

For months, I've fought hard alongside @SenDuckworth for IVF coverage for service members in the NDAA. Against all odds, we passed our bipartisan amendments in the House and Senate. So I’m very disappointed that Speaker Johnson removed it from the final version of the NDAA.

A trans military ban would cost $18 billion to recruit, train, and replace the thousands of fully trained and qualified trans personnel in our ranks. We shouldn’t throw this money (and our values) down the drain.

Another trans military ban would cost the United States billions of dollars - LGBTQ Nation

And that could be the least of the problems caused.
