PSA: All Americans wishing to leave the Middle East safely should enroll in STEP with the U.S. State Department to receive the latest security updates from the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Then fill out a crisis intake form: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-int....

Somehow, there’s always money and the political will for unnecessary wars of choice, but never for the things we actually want, like affordable child care, housing, or health care.

Iran War Cost Tracker — $1 Billion Per Day

The Pentagon estimates the war in Iran costs $1 billion per day. Track the running total in real time.

This is gut-wrenching. All of these children deserve justice and accountability. And that’s why, as founder of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, I will be leading an effort to call for all the findings of DOD's ongoing investigation to be made public.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Donald Trump’s war with Iran is a grave mistake, so I won’t vote for a defense supplemental. Voting yes isn’t a vote for our troops; it’s the opposite. It will put them in harm’s way for objectives we can’t achieve and will be taken as an endorsement of this illegal war.

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

Amidst it all, Trump’s ugly ballroom is still being built. Trump isn’t working on a single thing that would improve Americans’ lives.

New date for White House ballroom vote amid deluge of angry comments

Over 100 people have registered to speak and more than 35,000 written comments have been sent in, the vast majority of which are negative.

Trump is raising your gas prices while making the world much less safe. He’s breaking promises left and right.

Oil tops $100 a barrel as Iran war escalates

It's a political setback for President Trump, who has relished in touting lower gasoline prices on his watch

Caleb and Joshua are OUT of the Dilley detention center. Now, we need to keep up the pressure to shut down Dilley for good.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 9(source)

I'm here at the Dilley detention center today and I'm SO relieved that the Gámez-Cuéllar family is coming home. Like many others, they have followed the rules and ICE detained them anyway. We will keep fighting to end mass detention and shut down Dilley.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Judge Halts Effort to Accelerate Deportation Process

Iran’s new Ayatollah is still part of the hardline regime so the U.S. spent billions of dollars, lost Americans, and spiked gas prices for a worse outcome for Iranians. This is why the U.S. shouldn’t engage in regime-change operations in the first place: they usually backfire.

Iran hardliners rally behind new leader, unsettling global markets

Iran's hardliners staged a show of force on Monday, taking to the streets to proclaim their loyalty to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, whose rise appeared to dash hopes of a swift end to war in ...

I will vote YES on tomorrow's Iran war powers resolution. And if any of my colleagues vote no, they should come to my district and explain to our service members why they believe debating before we risk their lives is a bad thing.

Another predictable consequence of reckless American wars in the Middle East: rising gas prices.

Gas prices are set to rise amid U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Here's what you could pay at the pump.

U.S. motorists could soon see higher prices at the pump as oil prices surge following the attacks in Iran.

If you're a CA-51 resident trying to safely leave the Middle East, sign up for STEP: mytravel.state.gov/s/step and fill out a crisis intake form: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-intake. If you're having trouble connecting with the State Department, call my office at 619-280-5353.

Last weekend, I stopped by San Carlos Little League’s opening day game. I played Little League growing up (my mom was my coach!) so it was very heartwarming and a little nostalgic to be out there. Team sports like this are so important for kids and our community.

The Trump Administration doesn’t have a plan to lower the cost of your health care. This proposal isn’t a fix – it would put people at risk of HUGE medical bills and perpetuates our already broken health care system. We need universal, affordable health care for everyone.

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

Lagging background checks and rushed training of ICE agency recruits is a recipe for disaster – and we’ve already seen it play out. ICE needs to be reined in.

Over 100 civilians have already been killed in Iran at the hands of the U.S. and Israel – a result of Donald Trump’s reckless and unnecessary war of choice. The U.S. should end all illegal military action in Iran now.

Over 100 Civilian Casualties in Iran, Nonprofit Says

More than 100 civilians have been killed in Iran during the strikes, and hundreds of others were injured, according to an estimate from the Human Rights Activists News Agency released Saturday. The gr...

When the Republican Party can't explain their strategy (or lack thereof), they gaslight us. The American people can clearly see that President Trump isn't "ending a forever war," he's starting a new one.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govFeb 28(source)

We shouldn’t let Iran get a nuclear weapon — but the only sustainable way to achieve that is with diplomacy and verifiable agreements not by dropping bombs.
