Service members, TSA workers, and air traffic controllers are working without pay because Republicans shut down the government. My Republican colleagues in Congress need to come back to DC and vote to protect health care and reopen the government.

Jewish Family Service gives free groceries to federal workers during government shutdown

San Diego nonprofits are preparing for the long haul as the government shutdown enters its sixth day.

So Pete Hegseth is getting gender affirming care while kicking highly qualified, highly trained trans service members out of our military? Got it.

It is ILLEGAL to withhold back pay from federal workers. Trump won’t do his own job but he wants to stiff people who do show up to work.

Furloughed federal workers face threat of no back pay from shutdown, despite 2019 law requiring it

As the federal shutdown stretches on, furloughed federal workers face the threat of not receiving back pay, despite a 2019 law that requires it.

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

Air traffic controllers and TSA workers are being asked to go to work without guaranteed pay. Meanwhile, President Trump and Republicans are failing to do their jobs and wasting time by refusing to negotiate with Democrats to protect health care and reopen the government.

FAA reports staffing issues at airports as government shutdown continues

No air traffic controllers were expected at the tower at Hollywood Burbank Airport in the Los Angeles area, and the Denver and Newark airports were experiencing delays due to shortages.

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

Trump’s government shutdown means that right now, our service members are reporting for duty without pay – making it even harder for them to put food on the table. While we work to re-open the government, the San Diego Food Bank is a great resource for anyone needing assistance.

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

It’s been an agonizing two years so I’m hopeful that this deal will bring all the hostages home, end the atrocities, and lead to an immediate rush of aid into Gaza. Too many lives have been lost already so I urge all parties to uphold this deal so we can end this horrific war.

Israel and Hamas agreed to an exchange of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners, President Trump announced on Wednesday. Here's what we know so far.

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

All of this because Republicans in Congress don’t want to help millions of Americans keep their health care… Republicans need to come back to the negotiating table so we can end this shutdown ASAP.

I represent San Diego, the biggest military community in the country. If the shutdown continues, our service members will miss their first paycheck on October 15. I’m in D.C. to negotiate to protect health care and reopen the government, but Republicans are refusing to engage.

It’s day 8 of Trump’s Shutdown and there are two things we still haven’t seen here on Capitol Hill: 1. House Republicans 2. The Epstein Files

Republican Shutdown update: Day 7. Republicans are still nowhere to be found.

That’s why I’m staying hopeful that these latest peace talks will be successful, so we can bring all the hostages home, finally end this horrific war, deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and work toward lasting safety and security for Israelis and Palestinians.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 7(source)

I know for me and so many others, we haven’t been able to fully mourn because it’s not over: many hostages remain captive, the war rages on, and the scourge of antisemitism is rising.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 7(source)

The world changed two years ago when Hamas attacked, kidnapped, and killed civilians in Israel. My heart breaks for the hostages and their loved ones, many of whom I’ve gotten to know over the past two years.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 6(source)

Rep. Deluzio and I saw this coming – so we introduced the New Insurrection Act to stop a power grab like this and narrow when the president can deploy American troops on American soil.

Trump has said he would consider using the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 6(source)

Republicans have voted over and over again to gut health care for millions of Americans. Now, they’ve shut down the government instead of extending life-saving health care premium tax credits. They’ll do anything except give you health care.

What the shutdown means for Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs

Core programs will keep running because their funding is built into law. But a popular Medicare benefit has already ended, and local health centers may be at risk unless Congress acts soon.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 6(source)

Trump’s more focused on building his ballroom than reopening the government.

White House Will Continue Construction on 90,000-Square-Foot Ballroom During Government Shutdown

The $200 million construction of the White House ballroom will continue amid the government shutdown that began on Wednesday, Oct. 1, a White House official said.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 6(source)

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House – and they have decided to shut down the federal government instead of working with Democrats to enact a bipartisan budget. I know that a gov...
