The answer to skyrocketing gas prices isn’t to start drilling off the coast of California – it’s to end Trump’s reckless war in Iran that caused the gas price hike in the first place!

Trump administration orders restart of oil drilling along California coast amid Iran war

President Trump is asserting executive authority to demand California restart controversial offshore oil drilling along its coastline amid soaring gas prices during the war with Iran. Gov. Gavin Newso...

This is unforgivable – Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal was promised safety after bravely serving alongside our troops in Afghanistan. Instead, he died in ICE custody. His death must be investigated, but more than that, ICE needs to stop killing people now.

Afghan father, former U.S. military ally, dies in ICE custody in North Texas

An Afghan father who served with U.S. forces died in ICE custody less than a day after being arrested in North Texas.

I wrote a bill that required DOD to establish policies and hire staff to prevent civilian harm in U.S. military operations. Trump and Hegseth fired staff and gutted these institutions and now 175 kids are dead. DOD needs to rebuild these capabilities now.

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It.

The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

I’ll save James Comer some time – there was DEFINITELY mismanagement of the Epstein Files because we still don’t have all the files!!

House Oversight chair subpoenas Attorney General Pam Bondi for deposition in Epstein probe | CNN Politics

The DOJ gave LiveNation and Ticketmaster a slap on the wrist after ripping off fans and bullying venues for years – and then laughing about it. I’m glad state Attorneys General are still suing to break them up. We need to go after the monopolies and corporations for real.

The first week of Donald Trump’s war cost the American people $11 billion. It’s obviously not over yet, and we’ll continue to spend a billion dollars a day that we could have invested in affordable child care, housing, or anything else productive.

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion

I just visited Dilley and met with kids who are too scared and traumatized to eat and go to the bathroom – let alone play. It’s horrific and should alarm everyone in our country. We can’t let them do this in our name. We need to shut down Dilley.

I’m incredibly saddened by the deaths of six more service members in the course of Trump’s war in Iran. More service members and civilians will continue to die unless we end this reckless war.

All 6 U.S. crew are dead after a plane goes down in Iraq, as Mideast war toll mounts

The U.S. military confirmed that all six crew members on an KC-135 aircraft died after the refueling plane went down in western Iraq, raising the U.S. death toll after two weeks of war with Iran.

Hind Rajab was a brave and beautiful five-year-old Palestinian girl who was reportedly killed by the IDF in Gaza. In her memory, Senator Welch and I are fighting for accountability for her death and all the civilian harm in Gaza.

U.S. Lawmakers Introduce Hind Rajab Accountability Bill (Exclusive)

The Justice for Hind Rajab act, introduced by Sen. Peter Welch and Rep. Sara Jacobs, demands a U.S. investigation into the killing of the 5-year-old Palestinian girl whose story inspired Kaouther Ben ...

Unsurprising from the same guy who wanted a makeup studio at the Pentagon…

Trump says skyrocketing gas prices due to his reckless war in Iran are “a very small price to pay” and “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENT!” He’s screwing you over with $5/gallon gas and expecting you to thank him. We won’t fall for that.

California gas prices rise above $5 a gallon amid US war with Iran

West coast state’s average cost per gallon has climbed $0.55 since the conflict in Middle East began over a week ago

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

Just so we’re keeping track, here are basic questions the Trump Administration can’t answer: - Are we at war with Iran? - What is the goal? - How long will this go on? - What is the cost? - Will we put troops on the ground? This President has no plan. This reckless war needs to end.

Pete Hegseth spent millions of taxpayer dollars on lobster, king crab, steaks, and other frivolous things while Americans struggle to make ends meet. Now, he’s launching a reckless war costing the American people billions of dollars and raising our gas prices.

Pete Hegseth Goes on $93 Billion Pentagon Spending Spree for Lobster, Fruit Baskets and Japanese Flute: Report

Months before the U.S.-Israel war with Iran began, Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense reportedly went on a multibillion-dollar spending spree that included millions on steak, salmon, lobster, furnit...

Gas prices in San Diego went up almost 60 CENTS a gallon in one week because Donald Trump launched a reckless war with Iran. $5.40/gallon and war in the Middle East are not what anyone voted for.

We need strict guardrails when the military uses AI, whether it’s in Iran or anywhere else – full stop.

U.S. military is using AI to help plan Iran air attacks, sources say, as lawmakers call for oversight

Anthropic’s Claude AI systems have become a crucial tool for the military despite the company’s clashes with the Defense Department.

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

The system is broken and unsustainable. We need to fund universal child care. Congress should pass my bill – the LEGACY Act – to tax trust fund kids more and invest it in affordable, high quality child care for every family.

Why Does Child Care Seem Less Affordable Than Ever?

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

175 civilians – mostly little girls – at a school in Iran had nothing to do with this awful war. It looks like the U.S. was responsible for their deaths, and if so, this Administration must take accountability. I’m proud to lead 121 House Democrats in demanding answers.

Democrats ask Pentagon about Iran school strike and role of AI

In a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, more than 120 Democratic lawmakers ask whether the Pentagon will investigate the strike as a possible war crime.

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

Public pressure continues to force the DOJ’s hand. We won’t settle for anything less than full transparency AND accountability. Release all the files.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump

The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

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

Trump’s MO has always been chaos – but no matter where you look, it’s bad. We’ve been launched into a new war, prices are up, jobs are down, and horrifying allegations from the Epstein files are being revealed. He’s a failure, and we’re paying the price.

Beyond the Iran war: Trump's no-good, very-bad day on jobs, gas, Epstein

The White House was dealing not only with questions about the war but also a decline in jobs, a rise in gas prices and more Epstein files.
