I was proud to recognize National Electrical Contractors Association Board President, Craig Earley, for his service to San Diego, leadership in the electrical construction industry, and work to ensure our communities are powered, bright, and connected.

I’ve had so much fun celebrating the Karen New Year over the years, so I was excited to be back to enjoy the delicious food, music, and dancing once again. And I even got to make a fun bookmark with Paantine this year!

If Donald Trump reinstates a trans military ban, it wouldn’t only be hateful and discriminatory – it could be costly to the tune of $18 billion. That’s why Congressman Eric Sorensen and I introduced legislation to prevent another trans military ban.

House Democrat To Introduce Bill Against Trans Military Ban

The legislation from Rep. Sara Jacobs of California would seek to counter a move Donald Trump has promised to make as early as his first day back in office.

We should be doing more to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault, empower survivors with more resources, and fund enforcement against real abusers – but this bill does the opposite.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 16(source)

This bill puts domestic violence survivors in greater danger – subjecting them to harassment, detention, and potentially deportation (even without being convicted of a crime).

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 16(source)

But if H.R. 30 is enacted, domestic violence survivors who are undocumented could be accused by the real abusers and deported immediately OR forced into silence.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 16(source)

It’s common for domestic violence survivors to be accused of abuse, either by the abusers themselves or by police. Right now, those accusations are then dealt with in a court of law.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 16(source)

Just like last week, House Republicans are *again* pushing a bad-faith immigration bill that takes away due process – but this time, it targets domestic violence survivors. So I voted no.

If we want policies that actually help young people, we need to see more young people in Congress. Here’s what I’m doing to make that happen:

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 16(source)

This shouldn’t be surprising to anyone – young people care about their health care and don’t like abortion bans! Yet another reason why leaving abortion rights to the states doesn’t work and why we need abortion rights protected at the federal level.

Abortion bans seem to be driving young people to move out of state

New research suggests that states could see huge economic implications.

My statement on the Israel-Hamas deal:

It’s clear our child care system isn’t working when parents like Amy Lee Funes have to quit their jobs to qualify for public assistance – trapping families like hers in poverty. We need universal, affordable child care so parents don’t have to choose between being employed and affording child care.

Quitting jobs to qualify for child care - The Hechinger Report

How child care eligibility rules trap families in poverty

Republicans’ new bill to ban trans girls from playing sports doesn't actually protect women; instead it opens the door for schools to investigate all female students’ bodies. It's disgusting and invasive, and we shouldn't be wasting our time on this hateful legislation.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 14(source)

I’m so excited to see that Arden Pala – who I recognized as an Outstanding Youth last year – was recognized as Sports Illustrated’s SportsKid of the Year! He’s done so much to help youth facing homelessness through physical activity and sports, and I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Meet the 2024 SportsKid of the Year: Arden Pala

Through the charity he started and runs, the California teen is using the power of sports to uplift underserved students in his community.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 14(source)

Amazing news from the White House today! Excited to see President Biden’s much-needed student debt relief surpass $183 billion and open doors and possibilities for another 150,000 borrowers.

Biden's total student debt relief passes $183 billion, after he forgives another 150,000 borrowers

In his final days in office, President Joe Biden announced that his administration would forgive student debt for more than 150,000 borrowers.

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

This won’t be the last time Republicans advance a bad-faith immigration bill (there’s another one this week) so I’ll keep voting on the details and not be scared by headlines.

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

This bill exploits Laken Riley’s death to cut legal migration and implement mass detention and deportation and that’s why I voted against it.

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

If a TPS recipient was misidentified in a police lineup, they could be detained indefinitely. If a DACA recipient, someone who was brought to our country as a child, was accused of stealing a pack of gum, they could be detained indefinitely.

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

State attorneys general could get decisions made by immigration judges and ICE officers overturned – and even ask a court to stop legal immigration from entire countries.

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

What would this bill look like in practice? Expanded mass detention, a spike in racial profiling, and a huge diversion of taxpayer dollars and law enforcement resources.
