It was so fun to stop by Montgomery STEAM Magnet Middle School to hear students’ Jacobs Teen Innovation Challenge ideas, tackling serious real-world problems, like stopping teen vaping. So inspired by all their creativity, thoughtfulness, and ambition!

There’s something wrong with you if you want to cut off life-saving support to kids who need it.

100 days under President Trump: here’s where we are and what we do next.

DOGE’s motto: Move fast, break [Social Security]

I introduced an amendment today to prohibit any taxpayer dollars from being used for Secretary Hegseth's makeup studio at the Pentagon. Every single one of my Republican colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee voted against it. Every. single. one.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 29(source)

Republicans talk a big game about reducing waste, but they want to give an EXTRA $150 Billion to the Pentagon – bringing the Pentagon’s total budget to over $ ONE TRILLION – even though they've failed SEVEN consecutive audits. What happened to "fiscal responsibility"?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 29(source)

Mistakes this egregious should never happen – and they wouldn’t if Trump followed the law and respected everyone’s right to due process.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 29(source)

Republicans’ proposed cuts to the federal government’s share of Medicaid spending could cause 34,200 preventable deaths per year. And work reporting requirements could cause over 15,000 preventable deaths annually. When I say Medicaid is a lifeline, I mean it.

Kicking living U.S. citizens off Social Security isn’t efficient. Firing thousands of Social Security workers so seniors will see delayed checks, or can’t get help finding lost checks, or can’t register for Social Security isn’t efficient.

Musk Goons Purged Living U.S. Citizens from Social Security

Elon Musk and his DOGE foot soldiers effectively killed the financial lives of “countless” citizens through their database meddling.

Remember, all of Trump’s “cost-cutting” measures – to fire workers who manage education, child care, child support, and child protective services systems and to attack funds for school meals and school safety – are to fund tax cuts for billionaires. www.propublica.org/article/how-...

The Trump Administration’s War on Children

The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 29(source)

Republicans’ budget proposes huge cuts to Medicaid/Medi-Cal. These aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet – these are REAL people’s lives. Listen to the stories of people I’ve met. Look at their faces. We can’t let these cuts happen.

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

Expanding access to quality, affordable child care is one of my biggest priorities. So it was great to visit the Lemon Grove Childcare Center and see all of the great work they’re doing.

Right now, I know it’s hard to feel hopeful. But I spent Earth Day hearing creative policy ideas from USD students about how we can protect our environment and our planet for future generations. Together, we can get through this.

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

It was great to join the grand opening of USD's Palomar Health Student Wellness Center! The Center promotes inclusive wellness – from fitness to nutrition to mental health counseling – and includes a teaching kitchen, supported by $850,000 in federal funds that I secured.

It was great to hear from local Jewish community leaders about how we can combat antisemitism and ensure that all Jewish people are safe and respected on campus and everywhere in our communities.

If you agree with Trump, here’s why that’s the wrong approach: -You can’t know someone is undocumented until you prove it -You don’t want to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen -You can’t preach law and order if the government isn’t following the law

Trump Says Undocumented Immigrants Shouldn’t Get Trials Before Deportation

The president claimed that countries were sending their prisoners to the United States and that he needed to bypass the constitutional demands of due process to expel them quickly.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my town hall in El Cajon this week! We saw democracy up close in action – people were holding their elected official (me!) accountable, sharing their concerns, and asking tough questions. I can’t wait for the next one!

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

Donald Trump, I fixed it for you!

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

Trump doesn’t get to pick and choose which laws and court orders he abides by – he’s bound by them whether he likes them or not. Decades ago, Republican Members of Congress ensured that Nixon complied with a Supreme Court order – we need that same courage from Republicans today.

Trump admin must seek return of another man who was improperly deported to El Salvador, judge rules

A Trump-appointed judge ruled that the administration deported a 20-year-old Venezuelan man last month in violation of a legally binding, court-approved settlement agreement.

It really shows you who they are when this Administration prioritizes stealing wages from people who are struggling to pay their student loans while bending over backwards to give the wealthy bigger tax breaks.

Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says

The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.
