I’ve been in Alabama today with @RepTerriASewell and over a dozen of my colleagues to fight for voting rights and fair political representation. The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act is an attack on all of us and we all need to fight back. #AllRoadsLeadtotheSouth

I visited the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) center at SDSU and met with some of the students involved. I’m glad to see great initiatives like this that support AAPI students and provide inclusive programming and curriculum on campus.

Keeping drugs off the streets and holding drug traffickers accountable is important to keep our community safe and save lives. I met with some of the scientists and agents at the DEA Southwest Lab to learn more about the work they do (and they gave me a cool lab coat too!).

The conditions in ICE detention are so bad that people seeking asylum who literally fled for their lives would rather go back to their home countries than continue to fight their case here. Due process is becoming a myth.

Thousands of asylum-seekers abandon their cases as ICE seeks to deport them to nations they aren't from

More than 12,000 people gave up their asylum claims or voluntarily departed the U.S. as ICE moved to cut cases short by sending asylum-seekers to third countries, a CBS News analysis found.

The huge cuts to SNAP and new mountains of red tape Republicans enacted in the Big Ugly Bill are now being felt – by children, people with disabilities, and seniors who are going hungry. When everything is so unaffordable, cutting food assistance is just cruel.

The families going hungry because of Trump’s food stamp cuts

Under President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a wa...

Supreme Court preserves access to widely used abortion pill, while lawsuit plays out

The Supreme Court has preserved women’s access to a drug used in the most common method of abortion, rejecting lower-court restrictions while a lawsuit continues.

Donald Trump is on the wrong side of history (and the law). Judges have ruled against his illegal ICE policies over 10,000 times.

10,000 rulings: The courts’ overwhelming rebuke of Trump’s ICE policies

It was so wonderful to meet these kids at the Chinese Bilingual Preschool in Kearny Mesa and read to them! This school integrates Mandarin and English into its curriculum and was the first English-Mandarin immersion program for preschoolers in the county when it opened in 2011.

It’s MY constituents who are in harm’s way in Iran right now. That’s why I introduced a war powers resolution today to end this war and bring them home.

I was glad to join the San Diego District 6 Small Business Association meeting in Mira Mesa to hear from local business leaders about the challenges they’re facing, from Medicaid cuts to the lack of affordable child care and how the federal government can better support them.

It was great to meet with the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce Greater San Diego, which empowers Filipino-American entrepreneurs and professionals across San Diego. Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and I’m proud to support them!

Donald Trump says he doesn’t think about Americans’ finances when it comes to the Iran war. And I *know* he’s not thinking about our troops. And that kinda makes sense coming from a draft dodger who’s now cashing in on the presidency.

‘I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,’ says Trump amid Iran talks

With US inflation at a three-year high, US president insisted he’s not focused on economic hardship sparked by the conflict

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.gov3d ago(source)

We’ve spent billions of dollars and lost 13 American service members, and Iran still reportedly has substantial missile capabilities. Donald Trump shouldn’t have initiated this war in the first place, but now he needs to end the war quickly and permanently.

U.S. Intelligence Shows Iran Retains Substantial Missile Capabilities

More confirmation of what we all know: guards in ICE facilities are increasingly relying on physical force or chemical agents to control detainees. We need to dismantle and overhaul ICE and get accountability for all the hurt and pain they've caused.

Internal ICE records reveal widespread use of force in detention centers

The reports detail how guards have increasingly used chemical agents and physical tactics on detainees, including groups demanding adequate water, food and medical care.

Gas in San Diego County alone has gone up $1.53 since Donald Trump’s war in Iran started…and that’s not even the biggest jump in the country. He needs to end this war permanently and he needs to do it now.

Data: Track county, state and national gas prices

Gas prices across the country, after declining some of April, are up again.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMay 8(source)

Donald Trump promised Americans wouldn’t pay for his policies – but we have. Tariffs? Each family has already paid $1,700. His war in Iran? Gas, groceries, and utility costs are through the roof. His ballroom? They just asked for $1 billion in taxpayer dollars.

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

The Trump Administration is targeting my friend, Rep. LaMonica McIver, for doing her job conducting oversight of an ICE facility in her district. Trump's tactic is to make us feel alone and isolated – but we're not. Building community makes us stronger.

Inside the Pact to Keep a Congresswoman Out of Prison

“I think that [the Trump administration] thought they could move in ways that are cruel, targeted, and unprecedented, and that maybe no one would care.”

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

Most Americans say Trump isn’t mentally fit enough to be President…and yet Secretary Hegseth refused to say the same (or disagree!) when I asked him this last week.

Most Americans say Trump is mentally, physically unfit to serve effectively: Poll

A new poll found that most Americans say they believe President Trump is mentally and physically unfit to serve as commander in chief. The Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 59 pe…

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford gas and groceries to make it through the week – let alone child care and housing. But Senate Republicans and Trump don’t care. They want $1 billion of YOUR taxpayer dollars to pay for a stupid ballroom anyway.

Senate GOP eyes $1 billion for Trump ballroom security as part of ICE, border patrol package | CNN Politics

Senate Republicans are looking to give the US Secret Service $1 billion to shore up security for President Donald Trump’s future White House ballroom, as part of a broader immigration enforcement pack...

This is a ceasefire in name only. Israel needs to adhere to the ceasefire and work in good faith toward a permanent end to the larger war with Iran and Lebanon.

Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Hezbollah ceasefire

Israel says it targeted a senior Hezbollah figure in the capital, the first strike of its kind since mid-April.
