Healthcare Authoritarianism Rally Centralia Washington We were few today but we are strong in heart. We were showing our commitment to support Healthcare, federal workers and Democracy. #3E #USprotests #Democracymatters

Portland is a beautiful and vibrant city—it is not a war zone.     The President needs to keep the military out of the Pacific Northwest.   This is yet another abuse of power. Leaders across America—in government, business, everywhere—need to push back.

For 60 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has protected parks, forests and wildlife habitat all without costing taxpayers anything. But now a new federal order will limit LWCF funding and create roadblocks for vital projects. Urge Congress to defend #LWCF. ➡️ https://nature.ly/46GR5e8

We dont need rich ghouls interfering in our state!

Dont let money control our politics, oppose Heywood and his harmful initiatives.

It's not just Mamdani. Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson--the Dems may soon have a remarkable cast of young, gifted mayors www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Supreme Court rolling over and ignoring almost 100 years of precedent letting Trump’s lawlessness go unchecked yet again. This move will reduce confidence and trust in the independence of the Federal Trade Commission.

A reminder to those in the district, we will be having our regular monthly meeting tomorrow. We'll have candidates to talk to and upcoming events to talk about.

When Democrats retake power, breaking up the large conglomerates that own local TV stations will need to be a top priority.

We have issued the following response to the renaming of Maple Street proposal.

#FireRFK Disrupted CDC leadership (put party over science) Removed vaccine research, access, and promotion (est 5,000 more COVID deaths) Mass layoffs and health infrastructure cuts Blamed Measles on "poor diet" (3 dead so far, all unvaccinated) Vaccine misinformation led to CDC shooting

It’s important for states like Washington to step up to protect public health, but diseases don't recognize borders. We still need a functioning and trustworthy federal health department—for that to happen, RFK Jr. must be fired immediately.

Social security is 90 years old today, and has helped millions avoid poverty. It is one of the most significant achievements in American history. This makes it all the more despicable that Republicans are cutting it at a time when we need to expand and improve upon it.

VA staffing shortages are hitting hard nationwide, with tens of thousands of jobs gone, fewer hires, and fewer applicants. For our veterans who served in Washington, that means longer waits, fewer doctors, and critical care delayed. The Trump admin. is failing veterans.

Happy Birthday, Social Security! 90 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Over the years, Social Security has helped keep millions out of poverty. Today, I am working to safeguard Social Security from President Trump's attacks.

Horrific

Today I'm sending this letter to our legislators to demand a response to Trump's appointment of a registered child sex offender to a program that oversees children. Silence is complicity. -Zac, Chair

In rural communities, Community Action programs are a lifeline, bridging gaps where resources are scarce. From transportation and food access to medical care, weatherization, and rising energy costs, CA programs ensure families aren’t left behind simply because of where they live. #CommunityAction

Olympia Indivisible made us this banner for our event on August 2nd in Centralia, Washington please join us if you are in the area. It's almost done. I pick it up tomorrow. Thank you Olympia Indivisible our sister city. #olympiaindivisible #3E #USprotest #standwithimmigrants

DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution

It's voting season and the WA Bus wants you to GOTV!!! Ballots have been mailed, so make sure you are registered and up to date with yours. Your voice matters and we want to hear yours this August 15th!

The solution to “Dems can’t talk to voters” is not to create and go on shows like Pos Save America. The solution is to…actually talk to voters as if they’re ordinary people who have other interests besides politics, and meet them where they’re at. If you can’t do that, get out of politics.

Some ideas: 1️⃣ Do as AOC has done and focus on direct to camera vertical video—Instagram and TikTok. 2️⃣ Go on podcasts and YouTube shows that aren’t expressly political or partisan. 3️⃣ Become a sports guy/gal and go on platforms like First Take and College GameDay. The possibilities are endless!

Today is a natl day of action in all 50 states to demand care — not cuts. We’re in Seattle with SEIU siblings & allies, fighting back against attacks on healthcare, livelihoods & democracy. This is what fighting for families looks like. A better future is possible! #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer

When I see Dems equity-wash entrenched wealth, I want to scream. Much of the permission structure for young/working class/BIPOC voters to turn to a politics of nihilism is that many in our party are fighting for abstraction, not the people the abstractions are about—who have bills to pay.

Trump said again today some countries “are just gonna have to pay tariffs.” The news is reporting that Japan, and possibly Scotland, may have to pay a “baseline 15% tariff.” COUNTRIES DON’T PAY TARIFFS. AMERICANS BUYING THE GOODS FROM THOSE COUNTRIES PAY THE TARIFF. Anyone STILL not get that?

Chair Conrad is right, this initiative isn’t about protecting elections, it’s about making it harder for eligible voters to cast a ballot. We should be expanding access to voting, not putting up new roadblocks.

It is now more important than ever that we create single payer healthcare in this state. By legislation, or ballot measure, we must protect and expand our citizens access to healthcare. @wholewashington.org @governorferguson.bsky.social

UGH. The enormity of trauma baked into Trump's bill! See how it will impact WA & what to do. If you live in: CD 4 Central WA -Yakima/Tri-Cities, call Dan Newhouse 202 225-5816 CD 5 Eastern WA - Spokane/Lewiston, call Michael Baumgartner 202 225-2006 Tell them to VOTE NO youtu.be/EZ3RBNC3fKM?...

It would be awesome to have actual choices instead of a duopoly in literally everything.

These fascists are taking billions of our taxpayer dollars and using them to drastically expand the Gestapo and build concentration camps, all to bring about a white Christian nationalist state they’ve dreamed of recreating since losing the Civil War.

The MAGA vision is that the federal government should essentially be a massive concentration camp network with a side hustle doling out the occasional subsidies to political clients

‼️‼️

A great lunch with some great people in the 20th LD. Thank you all for coming, its a pleasure to work with you.

HUGE win!: Mike Lee’s Public Land Sale Plan Is Dead "Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee tonight withdrew his proposal to sell millions of acres of public land to help balance the federal budget." zurl.co/plz8G

The American people have the right to know, word for word, what's in Trump's Budget Bill. Dems have forced a full reading on the floor and I'm streaming all of it on YouTube.

When Microsoft and Amazon and Boeing and the rest whine about it, we just say “what’s the problem, this amount of taxation was fine for you since 2017, now you’re paying it to the state rather than the feds.” That won’t convince the corporations of course. But the public will support it.

Democrats in #waleg and @governorferguson.bsky.social should call a special session to pass new taxes on the rich and big corporations to backfill federal cuts especially to health care. The rich and big corporations can clearly afford it - it’d essentially restore the rates they’re paying now.

She’s doing a great job leading in the Senate and representing WA. Wish it was her and not Schumer running the caucus.

58% of voters in Eastern and Central Washington oppose Trump’s ugly vulture budget zurl.co/j1aS9

Man, y'all gotta read this whole piece about a rally in San Antonio yesterday. Texas Democrats — led by big names — are organizing and moving away from DC and the DNC. And they're getting wild, cheering crowds.

If you are a dem in the 20th LD in Washington, we will be meeting up tomorrow at the 49er restaurant in Castle Rock. It will be wonderful to get together as an LD and get to know one another. Come join us any time from 1 - 3 pm!

Representative Frost explains how the game is played
