I froze my eggs over the summer. And now I’m fighting so that everyone has access to the fertility treatments like egg freezing and IVF that they need – starting with military families. Stay tuned for the House vote later this week.

Juggling Congress and Life, She Opted to Freeze Her Eggs

I’m hearing this on the ground constantly – Trump’s tariffs are zeroing out small businesses’ bottom lines, so they have to raise prices on consumers to survive. This economic uncertainty is not sustainable.

Trump's tariffs driving up prices at nearly half of small businesses—report

"One of the things that stood out to us was the drop in confidence, especially as we look at this year versus last year," a marketing expert told Newsweek.

Trump’s new caps on federal student loans mean lower-income students won’t be able to afford medical school, worsening our doctor shortage and ultimately hurting patient outcomes.

What new limits on student borrowing could mean for San Diego doctors, patients and care

Students getting pricey graduate degrees can get less in federal loans starting next year. Financial aid officials, doctors and policymakers warn it could reshape education, and medical care.

Trump’s immigration raids and deportations are tearing families apart. He’s going after hardworking people and people trying to go through the legal process. It’s wrong.

Immigration sweeps leave gaping holes in San Diego families. ‘I just want my dad home.’

Children and spouses are learning to cope with sudden deportations of loved ones

Two can play this game. Next week, I'm introducing legislation to rename the State Department as the Department of Peace. And if Trump wants to actually be the Peace President he says he is, then he should have no problem supporting it.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 5(source)

Our military should be a last resort used to defend our people, our country, and our interests but instead, Trump is shifting to a hawkish, aggressive posture, normalizing military action as inevitable. This is a dangerous shift in military policy.

Trump signs order renaming Pentagon 'Department of War'

President Trump signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, though a formal name change would require Congress to act.

For an Administration that wants people to have more babies, they don’t actually have any policies that help people deliver and raise babies safely.

Medicaid cuts threaten rural hospitals — and access to maternity care

Medicaid cuts in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill threaten rural hospitals, risking service cuts and closures that could severely limit access to maternity care.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 5(source)

I was there. You can’t rewrite history and pretend this wasn’t an attempt to hold onto power. You can’t pretend that Trump didn’t incite violence and then do next to nothing to stop it.

Republicans accused of wanting to ‘rewrite history’ after approving new Jan. 6 probe

Democrat blasts House Republicans for their ‘embarrassing apologetics’ over Jan. 6 after GOP lawmakers tuck resolution into rule on House floor

There are over 7 million people looking for a job right now. They matter. They don't cease to exist because of the Trump Administration's failed policies.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to LA was unlawful – and now he’s trying to do it again in New Orleans?! When will Republicans stand up to Trump?

Trump suggests sending National Guard troops to New Orleans next

President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that New Orleans could be his next target for deploying the National Guard. Trump has already said he plans to send the National Guard troops into Chicago an...

We already knew Trump and his family have made at least $3.4 billion during his time in the White House – and now they just made $5 BILLION more from their crypto token??? All while regular people are struggling with skyrocketing costs. Unbelievable.

New crypto token boosts Trump family's wealth by $5 billion

A digital token offered by the Trump family's World Liberty Financial has started trading. Here's what to know.

This is not a hoax. It’s a cover up. Release the files!

'This is not a hoax': Epstein survivors speak out demanding files be released

Several Jeffrey Epstein survivors made a direct appeal to President Trump to take action as they demanded all the files be released.

The LEGACY Act would bring in more money from the estate tax and dedicate 15% of that revenue (~$400 million/year) to fund affordable, quality child care. Basically, my bill would tax trust fund kids to create a trust fund for ALL of America's kids. Let’s get this done. (2/2)

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 2(source)

Our child care system is broken – it's WAY too expensive, too scarce, and providers can barely make ends meet. A protected, nationwide trust fund for child care could change that – and I have a plan. (1/2)

The “mission accomplished” problem haunting child care activists

State trust funds can come with an unexpected cost.

20 years ago, our government utterly failed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But we learned – Congress reformed FEMA and invested in disaster response. Now, Trump is taking us backwards – reversing these reforms and gutting FEMA. History will repeat itself if this continues.

Hurricane Katrina forced changes at FEMA. Trump is rolling them back

The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.

Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.

Opinion | The brazenness of Trump’s profiteering is a billion-dollar scandal

After leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton signed a “record book deal” for $10 million. The amount of money Trump has made has no historical equivalent.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law killed ACA premium tax credits. Starting next year, premiums will increase by an average 75% – or more. We’re talking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more per month. People can’t afford Trump's America.

She's bracing and saving to pay $2,800 a month for ACA health insurance next year

Raiding retirement savings. Pondering job changes or even marriage. People who buy their own health insurance are strategizing ahead of major price hikes in 2026. Open enrollment starts Nov. 1.

DOGE put hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by being careless with our Social Security data. While Trump gives giant tax breaks to billionaires, he’ll take away your health care, your food assistance – and he’ll even make it easier for your identity to be stolen.

DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says

If you thought Trump’s tariffs couldn’t get worse, think again. This Friday, costs for many shoppers and small businesses are about to go up – again.

A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It's a big deal to some shoppers and businesses

Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods.
