Congresswoman Sara Jacobs

It was great to meet with Arts Education Connection. Every kid (and everyone!) deserves access to the arts because it shapes how they learn, grow, and see the world.

I loved meeting with some of the students and leaders from First Gen Scholars–an amazing organization that’s breaking down financial barriers so first-gen students can go to college debt-free. Investing in the next generation starts with making higher education accessible to all.

I enjoyed the tour at AtmoSense and learning about their work to build cutting-edge gas-sensing technology to keep our air, workplaces, and communities safer.

Federal funding makes breakthroughs possible. That’s why the Trump Admin’s reckless NIH and NSF grant cuts hit research institutions like Scripps Institute of Oceanography so hard. I met with fellows and grad students there to hear more about how these cuts have hurt their work.

Donald Trump is waging an expensive and reckless war and building a new White House ballroom (and now helipad!), meanwhile, half of Americans are struggling to afford gas and groceries. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

It was great to tour AiCella & Invetech and see how they’re using AI to make lifesaving cell therapies faster, cheaper, and made in San Diego! This is what American biomanufacturing and responsible use of AI can look like.

I’m so grateful for Element Q, a place built by and for the LGBTQ+ community, where people can get identity-affirming mental health care and heal, grow, and thrive.

Policies that prevent, minimize, and address civilian casualties don’t just reinforce our values, they also protect our troops’ safety. Secretary Hegseth’s gutting of CHMR is directly hurting our national security. propublica.org/article/hegset…

It’s hard for everyone to afford the skyrocketing cost of living right now – including our seniors. I had a great time joining some seniors for lunch at the Bayside Community Center to talk about how to bring down costs, stand up to the Trump Administration, and more.

This is a really worrying sign that the Trump Administration may transfer all unaccompanied minors to Texas, where it’s easier and faster to deport them. We can’t let that happen – there should be NO child detention and NO child deportation. texastribune.org/2026/07/03/tru…

Mohammad’s death was preventable. He never should have been in ICE custody: he wasn’t violent, had zero convictions, and served with U.S. troops in Afghanistan. ICE agents refused to take his inhaler – showing complete disregard for his life. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/a…

ICE is way too trigger-happy. In Texas, they just killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father of three who was on his way to work. ICE needs to end its street immigration arrests and arbitrary arrest quotas, which are too often ending in death. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

This reporting is alarming. If it’s true, it shows a complete disregard by Secretary Hegseth for hundreds of children's lives in Iran – who have nothing to do with this war. We need the full results of the Pentagon’s investigation into this strike NOW.  cnn.com/2026/07/07/pol…

There’s nothing to gain by continuing the war with Iran. More strikes will only prolong high costs for Americans, threaten our troops’ safety, and give Iran less incentive to adhere to a deal. Trump needs to put Americans first and finally end this war. nbcnews.com/world/iran/us-…

More kids are facing hunger this summer because of the massive cuts to SNAP and food assistance from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. THIS is the cost of Republicans' tax cuts for billionaires. THIS is the trade-off they made. Shameful. nbcnews.com/video/experts-…

AI is already deciding whether you get hired, get a loan, or get an apartment. And when it discriminates, there's almost no way to hold anyone accountable. I interviewed @RepSaraJacobs about her new bill that would change that. Full video: youtu.be/RQxOSKu6gDQ

Arbitrary quotas and unfocused, untargeted mass immigration arrests aren’t making our communities safer. They’re not going after violent criminals; they’re going after our neighbors. nytimes.com/2026/07/01/us/…

Donald Trump never really cared about protecting Americans' health or regulating big corporations. The actions of his Administration – like approving new pesticides containing forever chemicals – prove it. "Make America Healthy Again" was a con job. thehill.com/newsletters/en…

THIS is exactly why we need a stock trading ban for both the White House and Congress. commondreams.org/news/trump-abb…
