Last weekend, I stopped by San Carlos Little League’s opening day game. I played Little League growing up (my mom was my coach!) so it was very heartwarming and a little nostalgic to be out there. Team sports like this are so important for kids and our community.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Trump Administration doesn’t have a plan to lower the cost of your health care.
This proposal isn’t a fix – it would put people at risk of HUGE medical bills and perpetuates our already broken health care system. We need universal, affordable health care for everyone.
Lagging background checks and rushed training of ICE agency recruits is a recipe for disaster – and we’ve already seen it play out. ICE needs to be reined in.
I want to hear from YOU. Please join me for a Telephone Town Hall on Monday, March 2nd at 7pm PT. Watch live and submit your questions on my website: sarajacobs.house.gov/live
Over 100 civilians have already been killed in Iran at the hands of the U.S. and Israel – a result of Donald Trump’s reckless and unnecessary war of choice. The U.S. should end all illegal military action in Iran now.
When the Republican Party can't explain their strategy (or lack thereof), they gaslight us. The American people can clearly see that President Trump isn't "ending a forever war," he's starting a new one.
We shouldn’t let Iran get a nuclear weapon — but the only sustainable way to achieve that is with diplomacy and verifiable agreements not by dropping bombs.
Only Congress can declare war, and yet we have not authorized this war, let alone received a proper intelligence briefing. Both the House and Senate must immediately return to D.C. to vote on war powers resolutions. The President cannot and should not take further unilateral action in Iran.
That’s why I take matters of war and peace so seriously – and it’s part of why I came to Congress in the first place: to ensure someone here is thinking about these consequences when the President tries to illegally take our country to war.
Trump promised to start no new wars, and then he turned around and started a regime change war in Iran. For my generation and my community in San Diego, war isn’t abstract or an out of sight, out of mind issue – it’s real and we pay the human cost of it.
The truth is that we had verifiable agreements to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon – and they were working. But President Trump withdrew from that deal, only to criticize the new reality that he created and bomb Iran anyway.
Many of my colleagues are already trying to falsely justify these strikes as reasonable to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This is a familiar hark back to the rhetoric before the Iraq War: exaggerating threats to justify armed intervention.
He’s putting our service members and our country at immediate risk for retaliation, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, and setting us up for another endless war – all for regime change, that in the end will likely backfire.
Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran will go down as one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in American history. He’s failed to learn from history that the United States has an abysmal track record of success for military adventures in the Middle East.
It was so fun to celebrate the New Year at the San Diego Tết Festival with the Vietnamese-American Youth Alliance. Chúc mừng năm mới!
The SAVE America Act would block MILLIONS of Americans from voting.
Most driver’s licenses (including REAL IDs in all but 6 states) won’t be enough because they don’t actually indicate citizenship. Many don’t have a passport/birth certificate at the ready.
