Trump says skyrocketing gas prices due to his reckless war in Iran are “a very small price to pay” and “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENT!” He’s screwing you over with $5/gallon gas and expecting you to thank him. We won’t fall for that.

California gas prices rise above $5 a gallon amid US war with Iran

West coast state’s average cost per gallon has climbed $0.55 since the conflict in Middle East began over a week ago

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

Just so we’re keeping track, here are basic questions the Trump Administration can’t answer: - Are we at war with Iran? - What is the goal? - How long will this go on? - What is the cost? - Will we put troops on the ground? This President has no plan. This reckless war needs to end.

Pete Hegseth spent millions of taxpayer dollars on lobster, king crab, steaks, and other frivolous things while Americans struggle to make ends meet. Now, he’s launching a reckless war costing the American people billions of dollars and raising our gas prices.

Pete Hegseth Goes on $93 Billion Pentagon Spending Spree for Lobster, Fruit Baskets and Japanese Flute: Report

Months before the U.S.-Israel war with Iran began, Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense reportedly went on a multibillion-dollar spending spree that included millions on steak, salmon, lobster, furnit...

Gas prices in San Diego went up almost 60 CENTS a gallon in one week because Donald Trump launched a reckless war with Iran. $5.40/gallon and war in the Middle East are not what anyone voted for.

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

We need strict guardrails when the military uses AI, whether it’s in Iran or anywhere else – full stop.

U.S. military is using AI to help plan Iran air attacks, sources say, as lawmakers call for oversight

Anthropic’s Claude AI systems have become a crucial tool for the military despite the company’s clashes with the Defense Department.

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

The system is broken and unsustainable. We need to fund universal child care. Congress should pass my bill – the LEGACY Act – to tax trust fund kids more and invest it in affordable, high quality child care for every family.

Why Does Child Care Seem Less Affordable Than Ever?

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

175 civilians – mostly little girls – at a school in Iran had nothing to do with this awful war. It looks like the U.S. was responsible for their deaths, and if so, this Administration must take accountability. I’m proud to lead 121 House Democrats in demanding answers.

Democrats ask Pentagon about Iran school strike and role of AI

In a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, more than 120 Democratic lawmakers ask whether the Pentagon will investigate the strike as a possible war crime.

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

Public pressure continues to force the DOJ’s hand. We won’t settle for anything less than full transparency AND accountability. Release all the files.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump

The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

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

Trump’s MO has always been chaos – but no matter where you look, it’s bad. We’ve been launched into a new war, prices are up, jobs are down, and horrifying allegations from the Epstein files are being revealed. He’s a failure, and we’re paying the price.

Beyond the Iran war: Trump's no-good, very-bad day on jobs, gas, Epstein

The White House was dealing not only with questions about the war but also a decline in jobs, a rise in gas prices and more Epstein files.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 10(source)

PSA: All Americans wishing to leave the Middle East safely should enroll in STEP with the U.S. State Department to receive the latest security updates from the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Then fill out a crisis intake form: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-int....

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 10(source)

Somehow, there’s always money and the political will for unnecessary wars of choice, but never for the things we actually want, like affordable child care, housing, or health care.

Iran War Cost Tracker — $1 Billion Per Day

The Pentagon estimates the war in Iran costs $1 billion per day. Track the running total in real time.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 10(source)

This is gut-wrenching. All of these children deserve justice and accountability. And that’s why, as founder of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, I will be leading an effort to call for all the findings of DOD's ongoing investigation to be made public.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 10(source)

Donald Trump’s war with Iran is a grave mistake, so I won’t vote for a defense supplemental. Voting yes isn’t a vote for our troops; it’s the opposite. It will put them in harm’s way for objectives we can’t achieve and will be taken as an endorsement of this illegal war.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 10(source)

Amidst it all, Trump’s ugly ballroom is still being built. Trump isn’t working on a single thing that would improve Americans’ lives.

New date for White House ballroom vote amid deluge of angry comments

Over 100 people have registered to speak and more than 35,000 written comments have been sent in, the vast majority of which are negative.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 9(source)

Trump is raising your gas prices while making the world much less safe. He’s breaking promises left and right.

Oil tops $100 a barrel as Iran war escalates

It's a political setback for President Trump, who has relished in touting lower gasoline prices on his watch

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 9(source)

Caleb and Joshua are OUT of the Dilley detention center. Now, we need to keep up the pressure to shut down Dilley for good.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 9(source)

I'm here at the Dilley detention center today and I'm SO relieved that the Gámez-Cuéllar family is coming home. Like many others, they have followed the rules and ICE detained them anyway. We will keep fighting to end mass detention and shut down Dilley.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Judge Halts Effort to Accelerate Deportation Process

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 9(source)

Iran’s new Ayatollah is still part of the hardline regime so the U.S. spent billions of dollars, lost Americans, and spiked gas prices for a worse outcome for Iranians. This is why the U.S. shouldn’t engage in regime-change operations in the first place: they usually backfire.

Iran hardliners rally behind new leader, unsettling global markets

Iran's hardliners staged a show of force on Monday, taking to the streets to proclaim their loyalty to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, whose rise appeared to dash hopes of a swift end to war in ...

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

I will vote YES on tomorrow's Iran war powers resolution. And if any of my colleagues vote no, they should come to my district and explain to our service members why they believe debating before we risk their lives is a bad thing.

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

Another predictable consequence of reckless American wars in the Middle East: rising gas prices.

Gas prices are set to rise amid U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Here's what you could pay at the pump.

U.S. motorists could soon see higher prices at the pump as oil prices surge following the attacks in Iran.
