Congresswoman Sara Jacobs

Our service members and their families have already sacrificed so much with no clear end goal. Fuel prices are out of control. And, Congress never authorized this war. Trump needs to end his war with Iran now.

Who’s WE?? Donald Trump may be cashing in with his millions in oil and gas stocks, but his reckless war with Iran has COST regular Americans a fortune at the pump. But like he said himself, Trump doesn’t give a damn.

Yesterday, we witnessed the people of Serbia and Brazil reject corrupt, violent authoritarianism and embrace democracy. Broad-based, pro-democracy movements – just like the one we’ve been building here in the U.S. – have the power to topple regimes. There is hope.

Here’s how this works: big corporations and billionaires are “donating” tens of millions of dollars to Trump’s White House ballroom project as a way to buy his favor – and Trump is more than happy to oblige. The whole thing is a corrupt, dirty scheme. It needs to end.

I met with these local leaders with Team ENOUGH, Brady United’s youth-led initiative focused on educating and mobilizing young people to stop gun violence. We must end the gun violence epidemic and protect future generations from this unnecessary trauma.

Every day the Trump Administration shows us who they really are: the villains. This is so inhumane, cruel, and twisted. And the only thing Republicans in Congress have done is give blank checks to DHS and the Pentagon to support this shit.

I was so happy to meet these 5th, 6th, and 7th graders in the Rise Up Leadership Academy and answer their questions about Congress! This program supports at-risk youth to help them thrive in school and become leaders in their community while avoiding gang involvement.

U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.

Our Spring 2027 internship applications are now open for both my Washington D.C. and San Diego offices! This is a paid opportunity for college students and recent graduates. Applications are due October 29, 2026 at 11:59pm local time. For more info ⬇️

El Niño is here. Throughout this fall and winter, San Diego is expecting particularly strong storms, heavy rain, and potential flooding due to El Niño. Make sure you’re prepared: www.sandiego.gov/elnino

This week, I volunteered with Mama’s Kitchen, which provides free meals to San Diegans at risk of malnutrition due to critical illnesses – including several hundred veterans. This work is so important to making sure our community is fed and no one slips through the cracks.

It was such a pleasure to visit Ms. Castro’s second grade class at Chesterton Elementary School in Linda Vista! About half of the students at this school come from military families, and they had great questions about my job in Congress and our federal government.

I joined our local and federal officials to talk about the progress we’ve made to address the Tijuana River Valley crisis. We’re all committed to seeing this crisis through and finally solving it.

We need guardrails on AI, NOW. Competition with China is no excuse for letting AI run rampant when people’s life savings are at risk and as I wrote in my op-ed, building AI systems that are actually safe and trustworthy IS our competitive advantage. www.newsweek.com/rep-jacobs-w...

It was great to visit and help build one of the tiny homes in El Cajon that’s helped dozens of women and children experiencing homelessness find stability and a path to permanent housing. We need more creative solutions like these to help people get housed.

The average family in CA-51 has paid over $6,500 more for housing, grocery, health care, gas and utilities under President Trump. It’s not a coincidence and it wasn’t inevitable – it’s a result of his (terrible) policy choices.

Read my op-ed to learn about my vision for how Congress should regulate AI – from the frontier model level to how companies and institutions are deploying AI to how it’s impacting workers, students, and economic opportunity.

It was so fun to answer questions from Dailard Elementary’s 2nd graders! I was asked what my favorite part of my job is and it’s meeting young people like them!

Trust and safety are our competitive advantage in the AI race. But to build systems that people actually want to use and trust, Congress needs to act on the societal, model, deployer, and impact levels. Read more in my op-ed:

Dropping the “Mother of all Bombs” on Iran will likely fail to achieve meaningful military objectives – and create civilian casualties due to its blast radius. It’s a bad idea by any metric. Trump should end the war, but that won’t happen by dropping more bombs.

The Pentagon is trying to avoid accountability, but I won’t let them. I passed an amendment through the House to require the Pentagon to share its report of the Iran school strike with Congress and the public – and I will keep working until it’s law.

Being first in the AI race won’t matter if no one uses what you build – or if you lose control of the technology. That’s why Congress needs to do its job and act on AI now. Read more in my op-ed here:

This is every parent’s worst nightmare. I’m devastated for these children, families, faculty and staff, and the Bend community. We need to end the gun violence epidemic before another family endures a preventable tragedy like this.

We need to end this new ICE surge in San Diego, but more than that, we need to get ICE out of our communities. Their tactics are traumatizing our kids and ripping families apart.

The sailors and Marines on the USS Abraham Lincoln are thankfully home, but our oversight isn’t over. We need answers and accountability to prevent this crisis from happening again – especially for our service members who are still fighting Trump’s war in Iran.

ICE needs to get out of San Diego. They’re terrifying our community and not making anyone any safer. If you’re stopped or arrested by ICE, know your rights: sarajacobs.house.gov/immigration.

Everything about Trump’s war – from its lack of strategy to execution to the hundreds of civilian casualties – makes Iran less likely to adhere to a deal, and undermines U.S. credibility. We need action and accountability about this trend of civilian harm.

Donald Trump set a new record today. Americans have NEVER paid over $4 for a gallon of gas nationally this many days in a single year before. #ThanksTrump

Donald Trump is putting a new trade rule in place that will raise the costs of prescription drugs for millions of Americans. The rule could also cause shipping delays or block access to some drugs entirely. If he cared, Trump could stop this immediately.

For Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, cruelty has always been the point. ICE and DHS are continuing to blatantly break the law and Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found. We need to stop ICE and hold this Administration accountable.

Fascists prey on fear, but thankfully, @repilhan.bsky.social is fearless. She won’t back down to anyone when she’s defending Minneapolis or civil rights. It’s why President Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after her three weeks before an election. I stand with Rep. Omar.

This report from the New York Federal Reserve just found that without Trump’s tariffs, the cost of many everyday items would have gone DOWN in the last year. Instead, as we all know, prices have shot up. Trump is choosing to make your life more expensive.

Trump and Republicans in Congress jacked up the price of health insurance for millions of Americans, including seniors on Medicare. A one time $90 check won’t even cover half of ONE monthly premium bill.

Thousands of legal immigrants are about to lose critical health care coverage because of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. They pay taxes, contribute to our communities, and have done nothing wrong. Now, many will be forced to turn to emergency rooms instead.

San Diego, please make sure you’re prepared for El Niño! We’re expecting heavy rain, storms, and potential flooding this fall and winter — especially this weekend. Here are some resources to make sure you and your family are ready. Stay safe! www.sandiego.gov/elnino.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is finally home!

I’ve spoken directly with the FBI and military leadership: there is no increased threat to San Diego. You are safe. But what Donald Trump said last night was dangerous. This illegal war needs to end.

My constituents — including many active duty service members, veterans, and their families — are not acceptable collateral damage in Trump’s stupid war.

🚨San Diego: here’s what you need to know ahead of El Niño 2026. We’re expecting increased rainfall, more frequent storms, and a higher risk of flooding in San Diego throughout this fall and winter. Make sure you, your family, and your neighbors are prepared:

Armed Services YMCA San Diego provides affordable child care for our military families. I’m proud to have secured $2 million in federal funding to support their services and will keep fighting to make sure all of our service members have access to high-quality child care.

Trump’s stupid trade war with Canada continues. These tariffs won’t help Americans – instead they’ll just increase prices even more and hurt American businesses, who will be forced to pay these new taxes. This is all about Trump’s ego.

AI could cause massive job displacement and create a huge wealth transfer from the bottom to the top. That’s why I co-lead a bill (the AI Tax and Work Protection Act) to tax big AI companies more in order to fund programs to protect jobs and retrain workers.

I had so much fun meeting these students at Mason Elementary School in Mira Mesa and answering their questions about Congress. (And in case you couldn’t tell – yes, it was Pajama Day!)

We can’t “win” the AI race if no one trusts these AI systems enough to adopt them or if they hurt people who use them. We need enforceable rules that make AI systems transparent and safe – and hold these companies accountable. “Self-policing” won’t get us there.

It was my honor to congratulate the HOPE Leadership Institute’s 2026 graduating class! These graduates are part of a new generation of Latina advocates and civic leaders in California. Can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish!
