Congresswoman Sara Jacobs

I was so glad to attend the 5th Annual Filipino American Friendship Festival this past weekend! I’m proud to celebrate great community building efforts like these that make San Diego stronger and brighter.

Donald Trump just gutted SNAP, or what we call Cal-Fresh. Here’s what that means for San Diego: 67,000 San Diegans could lose vital food assistance, stripping over $250 million from our local economy every year.

Reminder: every single House Republican on the House Armed Services Committee voted AGAINST my amendment to prevent the Secretary of Defense from being able to share classified attack plans again.

Our San Diego congressional delegation has brought home over $650 million to address the Tijuana River Valley crisis and I’m so glad that this agreement will lead to more actions on both sides of the border to protect our health and safety.

Here’s something you may have missed in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill — a big increase in the estate tax exemption. Trust fund kids can now inherit up to $15 million tax free. Rich people don't need another leg up. Tax the rich ➡️ invest in universal child care. cnn.com/2025/07/20/bus…

Their agenda was never about “life.” It was always – ALWAYS – about control. wellsrachelm.substack.com/p/pregnant-wom…

I am sickened by what we’re seeing in Gaza right now. The IDF has blocked aid while shooting people waiting in food lines for what little aid is actually coming from the sham Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Israel needs to lift its blockade and the U.S. needs to stop sending bombs.

It’s deeply concerning that despite U/S Hooker’s claims of "paying very close attention" to the crisis in Sudan, she isn’t aware that her own Department determined the RSF is committing genocide. You can’t do more with less. Rubio’s reckless RIFs are doing lasting damage.

They lied to us. This Administration isn’t going after criminals – 72% of the people arrested by ICE in San Diego had zero criminal charges or convictions. This is the fundamentally wrong approach for people who are contributing members of our community. axios.com/local/san-dieg…

Trump’s deployment of active duty Marines to Los Angeles was always unnecessary, escalatory, and an abuse of power. I’m glad they’re finally returning home and I hope they’re never treated like political tools again. cnn.com/2025/07/21/pol…

Final tally of the 940-page bill: $3.4 TRILLION added to the deficit (thanks to huge tax breaks for billionaires and corporations) and 10 million people kicked off their health insurance. Fiscally AND morally irresponsible. politico.com/news/2025/07/2…

We have a child care crisis: costs are WAY too high, there aren’t enough open slots, and providers can barely make ends meet.  But we can solve this! My bill, the LEGACY Act, would raise nearly $400 million/year for child care by taxing trust fund kids.  10news.com/money/consumer…

I just went to Otay Mesa to get answers on the immigration detention happening there. While I was satisfied with their transparency, that doesn't mean what they're doing is making us safer, and I will keep showing up to protect everyone’s legal, civil, and human rights.

I had so much fun hanging out with these kids and reading outdoors as part of the Trail Tykes program at the Mission Trails Regional Park.

PBS keeps us informed. Foreign assistance keeps us safe. So I voted no on the rescissions package that will make drastic cuts to both.

Every summer, San Diego Public Libraries partners with San Diego Unified to distribute free lunches to kids – and provide fun events and activities! So proud to support this initiative to feed and strengthen our community.

Two kids recently fell out of windows and died at Liberty Military Housing. Today, their CEO brazenly told me that he has “zero accountability.” That’s going to change – I’m immediately looking into ways to compel stronger safety standards and prevent future tragedies like these.

I spent time at Education Enrichment Systems’ child care center in Linda Vista to hear about the challenges child care providers are facing and how we can work together to solve them. Every kid deserves high-quality, affordable care where they can thrive!
