I’ll do the math: that’s $1,829 per month for infant care and $1,085 per month for a 4-year old’s care. A stark reminder from @epi.org of just how unaffordable child care in California is. We need a universal, affordable child care system NOW.

Trump Tariffs + firing people who prevent the avian flu = 10% spike in egg prices

US inflation cooled last month, though trade war threatens to lift prices

U.S. inflation slowed last month for the first time since September even as additional tariffs on steel and aluminum kicked in Wednesday that could send prices higher.

My thoughts on the Republican majority’s poor excuse for a Continuing Resolution:

The inevitable result of Trump’s reckless tariffs: an escalating trade war that will cost you money.

E.U., Canada retaliate against Trump’s tariffs as trade war escalates

As President Donald Trump’s global steel and aluminum tariffs took effect, the E.U. and Canada responded with their own levies, including on bourbon and motorcycles.

Trump's freeze of USAID funds has cost people's lives. Privately, some House Republicans have told me they're concerned -- but the time for private conversations is OVER. I'm calling on them to sign on to my bill to actually protect USAID and our national security.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 13(source)

And there it is: Elon Musk called entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare) “the big one to eliminate.” Republicans need to grow a spine and denounce this before Trump and DOGE cut YOUR health care and retirement.

‘Big one to eliminate’: Elon Musk spotlights cost of federal entitlements amid fear of cuts to programs | CNN Politics

Elon Musk on Monday highlighted the cost of federal spending on entitlement programs, the latest sign of the tech billionaire and presidential adviser’s focus to downsize the federal government amid f...

Last time I checked, canceling $60 million to build affordable housing developments wouldn’t actually make it easier for people to afford their rent.

Trump administration throws hundreds of affordable housing projects into limbo after contract cuts

The Associated Press has found that the Trump administration has stalled at least $60 million in funding intended largely for affordable housing developments nationwide.

Burning and shredding classified documents and personnel files? That doesn’t scream “what we’re doing is legal” to me. This should alarm every House Republican and they should sign onto my bill to protect USAID and our national security.

USAID workers told to shred, burn documents, unnerving Congress

The directive to destroy USAID documents raised questions about how sensitive records are being handled amid the Trump administration’s drive to cut foreign aid.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 13(source)

I'm not surprised that ICE has transferred all immigrants from Guantanamo Bay back to stateside facilities. When I was there, it was clear that this "plan" was too costly, complicated, inefficient, and cruel.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 12(source)

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m here - as are all House Democrats - ready to pass a 1 month funding extension that’s **actually** clean and doesn’t cut veterans health care, drive up housing costs, or fire Social Security workers.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 12(source)

Trump is on a mission to (illegally!) eliminate the Department of Education – and he just started by cutting its staff in half. This is a betrayal of students, parents, and educators.

Education Department cuts half its staff as Trump vows to wind the agency down

The Education Department plans to lay off more than 1,300 of its employees as part of an effort to halve the organization’s staff -- a prelude to President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the agency.

I just went there myself, so I’ll save you the trouble: it can’t be justified.

Officials are reconsidering whether the optics of flying a handful of migrants to Guantánamo Bay aboard military aircrafts really justify the price. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-botch...

Let’s be clear, this has nothing to do with protecting Jewish students and everything to do with Republicans long term plan to defund higher education. Don’t fall for it.

Trump sends warning to UC San Diego over alleged antisemitism on campus

UCSD could face federal funding cuts over civil rights violations.

Guantanamo Bay troops guard empty migrant tents, suffer low morale, Rep Sara Jacobs told me after a bipartisan CODEL to the base “All of us had a lot of questions about the money, how few immigrants were actually there, in regards to how much money is being spent" www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

The U.S. is one of the biggest suppliers of weapons to the UAE – but we shouldn’t be supporting them when they’re actively funding a genocide by arming the RSF in Sudan. That’s why @vanhollen.senate.gov and I led a bill to block U.S. arms to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF.

Hearing about a government shutdown? Here's what's going on and why I'm voting no on this partisan bill.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 11(source)

This stop-gap funding measure does NOTHING to hold Elon Musk or President Trump accountable. Instead, it STEALS FROM YOU in order to FUND BILLIONAIRES’ TAX BREAKS. I’m voting no.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 11(source)

TL;DR: What does the U.S. need? More housing. What’s needed to build housing? Steel and aluminum. Where do we get a lot of it from? Canada. What did Trump just raise massive 50% import taxes on? Steel and aluminum from Canada. We can't afford this pointless trade war.

Trump raises Canadian steel, aluminum tariffs to 50% in retaliation for Ontario energy duties

President Donald Trump also declared that if Canada does not lift other tariffs on the U.S., he will "substantially increase" auto import tariffs next month.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 11(source)

I visited the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay where Trump is housing immigrants en route to deportation. My biggest takeaway: the cost and cruelty are unjustifiable. There’s no added operational value; Trump just likes the optics.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 11(source)

I just went to the immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Thousands of service members are guarding empty tents, there are fewer than 4 dozen immigrants there, and they have to import all supplies except for water and power. This isn’t worth the cost or the cruelty.

What We Know About the Month-Old Migrant Mission at Guantánamo Bay

President Trump said the base would house as many as 30,000 migrants awaiting deportation. But construction of a tent city was halted weeks ago.
