70% of Americans oppose the U.S. taking military action in Venezuela. Listen to the American people, President Trump.

CBS News poll finds most would oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, say Trump hasn't explained

Those prioritizing economy say Trump is not spending enough time on it, as ratings of economy, his handling of inflation slip.

Donald Trump’s war on Christmas begins.

Shoppers to cut Black Friday spending for the first time in four years on affordability concerns: survey

Of those surveyed shoppers who plan to spend less, 69% cited higher costs of living, while 43% blamed financial constraints, according to the survey.

TL;DR: The Trump Administration doesn’t think nurses and teachers are professionals. They’re delusional.

Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin

Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Donald Trump campaigned on ending forever wars, but he’s weighing land strikes in Venezuela and entangling the U.S. in another protracted conflict with no authorization, strategy, or end date. Our adversaries would use this as recruiting propaganda for generations.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m incredibly grateful that my family could live the American Dream – but that’s just not possible for so many families. That’s why I will keep working to expand opportunity, open doors, and make the American Dream actually within reach for every family.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 26(source)

And President Trump should NOT use this tragedy to justify more troops in any American city — this is already a gross abuse of power.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 26(source)

We need a full investigation, but no one should target service members for following orders. Dissent is most effective when it is peaceful.

Two National Guard members were shot in DC today — and I’m hoping they pull through.

ICE isn’t going after violent criminals; instead, they’re arresting people at their green card interviews who are trying their best to go through the legal process. That’s why Rep. Juan Vargas, Rep. Mike Levin, and I are pushing for answers about this policy.

San Diego members of Congress question ICE arrests in green card interviews

Three members of Congress sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday with several questions and “deep concern” over ICE arrests during green card interviews in San Diego.

Congress STILL hasn’t passed an extension for the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. Without immediate action, so many vulnerable people will be kicked off their care in 2026. People’s lives are on the line. Why are Republicans ignoring this?

Millions could go without health care coverage in 2026. Here’s why.

Millions of Americans will need to decide between paying skyrocketing health care premiums or going without coverage in 2026 if Congress doesn't act.

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

As one of the richest Members of Congress, if I can co-sponsor the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act to ban Members of Congress (and their families) from owning and trading individual stocks, then every Member should too. Let’s pass this bill!

Trump might be sick of talking about affordability, but this is our reality.

Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with health insurance through work

It’s a perilous combination for 165 million people with employer-sponsored health insurance. Premiums are rising, while yearly pay raises shrink.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 24(source)

Terrorizing babies and children isn’t law enforcement – it’s a moral failure. ICE isn’t going after criminals; they’re targeting your neighbors and friends.

Charlotte nonprofit for children closes amid Border Patrol presence

ourBRIDGE for KIDS is a nonprofit providing afterschool programming for refugee and immigrants students.

Quality, free public education is a right in this country. Our education system is far from perfect, but dismantling the Department of Education from within will widen those gaps and deeply hurt the next generation. Oh, and this is illegal.

Education Department to begin transferring offices to other agencies in move toward dismantling it

Department of Education to announce agreement to transfer multiple offices to other agencies, marking a major step towards dismantling the nearly 50-year-old agency.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 24(source)

ICE is terrorizing our communities and even sweeping up U.S. citizens and green card holders. They’re not targeting violent criminals. They’re targeting anyone who looks like an immigrant. ICE is making all of us less safe.

U.S. citizens caught in Trump's immigration dragnet

As President Trump expands his aggressive immigration crackdown to major cities across the country, U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents have been detained or arrested, sometimes held for days.

Senate Republicans passed a provision that would allow Senators involved in the January 6th investigation to SUE the government for $500,000 EACH. House Dems led and passed a bill to repeal it. But Senator Lindsey Graham has chosen THIS of all things to take a stand on and blocked it. Typical.

Lindsey Graham blocks House-passed bill to repeal shutdown deal provision allowing $500,000 lawsuits from senators

Sen. Lindsey Graham blocked a Democrat-led effort to approve a House-passed measure to repeal a controversial provision that allows senators to sue for $500,000 if federal investigators search their p...

Child care is more expensive than rent in cities all across this country. It’s making life unaffordable for so many young families. Congress needs to do a lot more to bring down the cost of child care AND ensure providers are making a living wage.

Child care expenses top the cost of rent in dozens of U.S. cities, analysis finds. See where.

In some metro areas, child care expenses amount to more than double what families spend on rent, LendingTree found.

DHS is spending billions of dollars ripping families apart and disappearing hardworking people from our streets instead of things like combating child abuse, trafficking, and terrorism.

Homeland Security Missions Falter Amid Focus on Deportations

This lawyer was right: these strikes in the Caribbean violate U.S. and international law. These illegal strikes WILL make Americans less safe – by creating made-for-TV propaganda for our adversaries and by making our allies less likely to work with us.

Top military lawyer raised legal concerns about boat strikes

The lawyer at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the operations against alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela, disagreed that the strikes are legal and was overruled, according to six sources...

I’m furious and heartbroken that soldiers were violated at the Army OB/GYN for years. They, like so many others, were laughed at, dismissed, and retraumatized. They deserve justice and a thorough investigation – and Congress will be watching.

Army investigates OBGYN accused of abusing, secretly filming women

A Texas Army OBGYN is under investigation as he faces accusations of sexually exploiting dozens of women.
