This ceasefire doesn’t cancel out the fact that Donald Trump threatened a genocide of 93 million people in Iran. Republicans need to abandon their blind loyalty to the President and work with us to hold him accountable – whether it’s through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

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

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam’s death is on Border Patrol’s hands. They will continue to kill people unless we stop them.

Death of refugee found after being released by Border Patrol determined to be homicide

Erie County, New York, officials said the cause of death was “complications of a perforated ulcer precipitated by hypothermia and dehydration.”

Even though Americans can’t afford groceries or health care and we’re in *another* endless war, Donald Trump is spending his time daydreaming about the color palette of his presidential library. He’s a disgrace.

Trump Unveils Vision for Presidential Library, Complete With Golden Escalator

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

I call bullshit on this. Donald Trump is *choosing* to put our country deeper in debt for a war Americans don’t want instead of investing in things like child care and health care that actually pay for themselves in the long run.

Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and day care: 'We’re fighting wars'

Trump urged states to fund benefits programs instead because "we have to take care of one thing: military protection."

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

In the 5 weeks since Donald Trump decided to launch a war with Iran, gas prices have jumped by over $1/gallon in San Diego because so many oil tankers are stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. That’s a HUGE increase, and everything else is still just as expensive.

Gas prices in San Diego near $6 a gallon as U.S. average soars past $4, the highest since 2022

Gas prices have risen over a dollar a gallon on average since the U.S. and Israel launched a joint war against Iran on Feb. 28.

I’m glad Pam Bondi was fired. But she still needs to answer for her botched handling of the Epstein Files before the House Oversight Committee this month.

Bondi isn’t off the hook yet for Epstein testimony

House Oversight Chair James Comer isn’t ruling out making Bondi honor the subpoena the panel slapped her with last month.

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

Donald Trump took our country to war with Iran and stuck the rest of us with the bill. While regular working people struggle to make ends meet, Trump is living in his own delusional reality with ballrooms and billionaires.

Americans struggle as costs surge amid Iran war: ‘I’m worried we won’t make it’

Following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, gas prices, grocery bills and mortgage rates have all climbed

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

Donald Trump’s “SAVE Act” would make it so much harder for real Americans to vote – like the married woman who can't find her marriage license, the rural voter who'd have to drive 8 hours round-trip to re-register, the hourly worker who can't get time off.

SAVE Act would mean long drives for millions of American voters

Many Americans would have to drive an hour or more to present their citizenship documents.

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

Americans need health care, not war. The fact that my Republican colleagues in Congress are even considering cutting more from Americans’ health care to pay for Donald Trump’s expensive, illegal, and reckless war in Iran is shameful.

GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war

New efforts to rein in health programs open the GOP up to attacks that they're cutting health care to pay for an unpopular war.

Wishing everyone who celebrates a happy Passover, as we join friends and families at Seders in San Diego and around the world. Chag Sameach!

Vice President JD Vance’s task force on fraud claims to be focused on “finding the fraudsters who are robbing hard-working Americans.” The call is coming from inside the (White) House, JD.

Vance holds first meeting of a new anti-fraud task force targeting benefit programs

Vice President JD Vance has held the inaugural meeting of a new anti-fraud task force he’s leading as the Trump administration seeks to show it’s cracking down on potential misuse of social programs.

Trump started this war in Iran without considering the cost or consequences. Gas prices are already skyrocketing and soon, this war will drive up the price of food. Trump needs to end this war now.

The war in Iran sparks a global fertilizer shortage and threatens food prices

Farmers around the world are facing fertilizer shortages and rising costs after the war in Iran disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a third of global fertilizer trade.

To acting head of ICE Todd Lyons and any other Trump official struggling under the weight of carrying out the President’s harmful agenda, I offer you a simple solution: resign.

‘Visibly upset and struggling’: Acting ICE head hospitalized twice over stress, officials say

Several current and former officials blame intense pressure from the White House.

Trump is failing so badly at making deals (see: Iran, DHS funding, Ukraine, tariff negotiations, etc…) that he’s turned to making up elaborate fantasies.

Trump imagines negotiation with Sharpie maker for $5 signature pens

Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens. The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

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

President Trump called the skyrocketing price of gas due to his war in Iran “a small price to pay” – but try telling that to Americans who are having to cut back on things like groceries just to pay for gas to get to work. Trump is so out of touch.

Fuel vs food: These Americans are cutting back to afford higher gas prices | CNN Business

For Sarah Lawhun, the soaring price of gas means she’s eating one less meal a day.

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

The American people don’t want Trump’s war in Iran. Congress should vote NO on any defense supplemental for this reckless war.

Poll shows most Americans feel war against Iran has gone too far

While President Donald Trump's approval rating is holding steady, the conflict could be swiftly turning into a major political liability for his Republican administration.

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

The farmworkers' movement was never just about one man. Today, we honor the workers, families, organizers, and survivors whose labor feeds our nation and who will continue to lead the fight for fair working conditions and civil rights.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 30(source)

You cannot be pro-life or pro-family and support what’s happening at Dilley. This is state-sanctioned child abuse. We need to shut down Dilley.

Wormy food, intimidating guards, sick kids: Inside ICE’s only family detention center

First-person accounts paint a bleak picture of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 30(source)

Just to be clear: President Trump is threatening to wipe out Iran’s energy infrastructure – which is likely a war crime. Congress shouldn’t fund this war and be complicit in this.

Trump issues new threat to Iran's energy infrastructure if a ceasefire isn't reached 'shortly'

Trump's new threat in a social media post and earlier comments in an interview with the Financial Times that suggested American troops could seize the country's Kharg Island oil export hub highlight a...
