Donald Trump just raised tariffs to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and YOU are paying for them.

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

Donald Trump’s new tariffs begin today, driving up costs for Americans and bringing import tax levels to the highest since the Great Depression…and this is right after ripping away health care and food assistance from millions of Americans.

New tariffs snap into effect, raising import taxes to highest level since Great Depression

A wide variety of products will be affected, from appliances made in the European Union to autos from Japan to food, furniture, toys and more.

I’m proud to support San Diego Fire-Rescue’s new wellness center, built in part thanks to federal funding from FEMA, which provides physical and mental health services to help our first responders recover safely and stay on the job.

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

They’re right! Donald Trump hasn’t done a thing to lower costs – in fact, he’s actually driving them up with his tariffs and his new budget.

Trump to blame for high cost of living, Americans say in new poll

Six out of 10 Americans fault president for financial struggles and eight out of 10 worry about tariffs’ impact

I had a great time visiting Alexa’s PLAYC preschool, offered through Rady Children’s Hospital. This program supports both kids with autism and their typically developing peers. Access to inclusive, high-quality early childhood education should be the norm! Let’s make it happen.

Trump’s tariffs are his sneaky way of stealing from the American people.

Trump gets tariffs; Americans get price hikes

U.S. President Donald Trump is getting his tariffs. Companies are making it clear how they intend to deal with it - passing them on to American consumers.

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

Cruelty is the point. Donald Trump *chose* to restart interest on millions of borrowers’ federal student loans. This doesn’t help our economy; instead, it saddles millions with the burden of paying off interest – which is far greater than the original loan amount.

Student Loan Interest Jumps This Week For 7.7 Million Borrowers

Millions of student loan borrowers will see their interest rates jump this week as the Trump administration moves forward to end benefits for SAVE plan borrowers.

It’s horrible that Donald Trump is reneging on his campaign promise to expand IVF access – which is the only option for some people to achieve their dream of having a family. I will keep fighting so that everyone can build their family if, when, and how they want to.

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge

President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govAug 4(source)

Censorship is basically rule #1 for authoritarians so I’m not shocked at all that Donald Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after he revealed Trump’s abysmal job numbers.

The jobs numbers were bad — so Trump fired the messenger

The abrupt dismissal of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, briefly explained.

Donald Trump just kicked millions of people off their health insurance and food assistance. Now, he’s spending $200 million on a fancy new ballroom at the White House. He never cared about the American people; it was always about him.

Trump is building a new $200 million ballroom at the White House

President Donald Trump will continue to put his personal stamp on the White House with a new $200 million ballroom.

Had such a fun time joining the community clean up in Rolando Park last weekend!

I helped introduce the Block the Bombs Act because the U.S. should no longer be complicit in the Israeli government’s starving, killing, and displacement of Palestinian civilians. We need to finally use our leverage to save lives.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 31(source)

If I were in the Senate, I would vote yes on @SenSanders' resolutions today to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel. The Israeli government is knowingly starving civilians — and the U.S. shouldn’t be complicit.

It was so great to celebrate all the students who earned scholarships from the San Diego Foundation as they begin their next chapter at college, trade school, or graduate school. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!

Women should feel safe online – but too often, we don’t because of the lack of cybersecurity and data privacy protections on top of all of the harassment we face. The data breach of the Tea App is just a symptom of this larger problem and it’s time we finally take it seriously.

Hackers leak thousands of photos and IDs from users in Tea app data breach

Hackers have breached the popular dating app Tea, which recently went viral for providing women a safe space to share and access information about men they are dating. NBC News’ Marissa Parra reports ...

Believe it or not, it’s almost back-to-school shopping time and Trump’s tariffs + Trump’s inflation = higher costs for YOU!

Trump tariffs, inflation have some parents worried about back-to-school shopping costs

This year, parents will pay more for back-to-school essentials such as pens, pencils and backpacks.

In 2022, the House unanimously passed my bipartisan resolution condemning hunger as a weapon of war. The IDF is weaponizing food now – “easing some aid restrictions” isn’t enough. They’ve reportedly shot people seeking food and the GHF is a sham. So where are Republicans now?

Israeli forces have killed over 1,000 aid-seekers in Gaza since May, the U.N. says

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.

Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda could make it even harder for you to find child care in California.

Building a house is about to be a lot more expensive thanks to Trump’s tariffs.

Canada tariffs could add $14,000 to the cost of building a home by 2027, report warns | CNN Business

President Donald Trump’s tariffs could have an unintended side effect: making homeownership even less affordable for many Americans.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJul 27(source)

California could lose $275 billion – that could be spent on building housing, improving transit, or lowering the cost of child care – because of mass deportations of people who aren’t criminals and who are contributing to our economy. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Study: Mass deportations could cost California more than $275 billion

A new study warns that mass deportations could cost California more than $275 billion in economic impact as immigration enforcement intensifies across the state and the country.
