Parents should have access to safe, affordable child care in their community. With the opening of the LWTech Early Learning Center, we’re making progress toward achieving that goal.

Happy Juneteenth! As we remember our nation’s history & celebrate our progress, we must acknowledge the work that lies ahead & commit to building a society rooted in unity & justice for all.

Trump wasted $13 million of your tax dollars in a no bid contract to renovate the reflecting pool in DC. Days after the president declared the project finished, it’s covered in green algae. A complete waste!

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. continues to undermine science-backed research while in charge of our federal health department. In addition to dangerous research funding cuts, he’s using his position to promote unproven treatments that could endanger our kids. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Trump repeatedly said that he would build his ballroom using only private donations. He was lying. Now he’s trying to use your tax dollars for this absurd vanity project.

Families in WA deserve access to affordable child care. That’s why I worked to secure $1.25 million in federal funding to support the Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s Early Learning Center. Great to join our community for the grand reopening!

Instead of providing helpful resources to expectant mothers, RFK Jr’s Moms.gov steers women toward deceptive anti-abortion information & health care that endangers women’s lives. That’s why my colleagues & I are demanding answers on this misleading website.

Red Alert for Social Security 🚨🚨 According to a new report this week, Social Security is expected to run out of funding sooner than expected due to Trump & Republicans’ policies. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s tariffs are devastating farmers & small businesses. WA’s economy & 4/10 of our jobs rely on international commerce. I’ve heard from folks across our community how these reckless tariffs are threatening to put them out of business.

The US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement is incredibly important to Washington state. We export more planes, produce, & equipment to our neighbors because of this deal that the first Trump administration negotiated & I proudly supported. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

More evidence that Trump is determined to get his $1.8 billion slush fund, so he can give your tax dollars to people like the January 6 cop beaters.

The federal government's foreign surveillance program needs to be reformed to protect both our national security & Americans’ civil liberties. We also cannot trust these intelligence powers in the hands of Bill Pulte, another Trump crony with no national security experience.

Working families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, rent, & health care because of rising prices. Trump: “I love the inflation.”

A pleasure to meet with Maria from Redmond, who received the Congressional Award Gold Medal – Congress’s highest honor for young Americans!   Maria dedicated countless hours to community service & impressive projects, including leading a PNW expedition from Olympic Park all the way to Canada.

The latest inflation report shows what working families across the country have been feeling for months: prices are too high, budgets are squeezed, & paychecks don’t go as far.

Trump took money from American families & small businesses with his illegal tariffs. Now the president is doing everything he can to avoid paying it back.  www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

When workers unionize, they should be able to negotiate their contracts & receive their benefits as soon as possible. But companies sometimes purposefully delay this process as another form of union busting.

Republicans passed their latest budget. This bill does absolutely nothing to lower costs for families. Instead, it gives ICE another $70 billion with no strings attached & no reforms so they can continue terrorizing our communities.

Democrats just forced a vote to put an end to Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. Every House Republican rejected it & voted to support your tax dollars going to cop beaters & right wing extremists. Despicable.

When Trump pardoned the January 6 cop beaters, he let violent criminals back into our communities.     Since they were released, they’ve  continued to commit heinous crimes like homicide, assault, & planning to assassinate law enforcement.   www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

Secretary Bessent is responsible for exposing the sensitive financial data of millions of Americans. I repeatedly asked him what steps he’s taken to stop this from ever happening again. The secretary could not give a clear answer.

Everywhere you look, corruption has infested the Trump administration. In exchange for funding his gilded ballroom, the president rewarded donors with $50 billion in lucrative government contracts. It’s called pay-to-play. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Gun violence continues to devastate countless communities across the country. This month, we honor victims & survivors while recommitting ourselves to taking action & ending this horrific cycle of senseless violence.

Republicans are trying to slash food assistance for families, taking away healthy food from pregnant women & children. Families are already struggling to put food on the table & this heartless funding bill will make it even harder. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Instead of focusing on lowering your costs, Trump continues to use the presidency to benefit himself. As a part of his bogus “settlement” with the IRS, the president & his family will be immune from tax audits. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

BREAKING: Senate Republicans approved billions of dollars for ICE with no strings attached. Their bill also: ❌ Doesn’t make any reforms to ICE to stop violence in our communities ❌ Doesn’t prevent Trump from bringing back his ‘beautiful’ $1.8 billion slush fund

Ukraine is fighting for its very survival every day against Putin’s war. With bipartisan support, the House forced a vote & passed legislation  that will put additional economic sanctions on Russia & provide security assistance to Ukraine in their fight to protect their democracy.

Trump calls his $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6 cop beaters & his wealthy donors ‘a beautiful thing.’ He clearly isn’t going to let it go on his own. If Republicans actually wanted to stop this blatant corruption, they’d vote with Democrats to permanently block it.

Americans are paying the price for Trump’s war with Iran.   Since the beginning, there was no clear strategy or goal for a war that has raised prices for families & spent billions of your tax dollars.

Trump only cares about abusing the powers of the presidency for his benefit. While Washingtonians are paying more for gas & groceries, Trump is focusing on putting his face on $250 bills. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Let’s celebrate our LGBTQ+ community & continue fighting for equality.

Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund isn’t going away. We can’t trust the White House & the president will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. If Republicans actually wanted to stop Trump’s slush fund, they would vote with Democrats to permanently block it.

Great to celebrate the grand opening of Kirkland Heights! Millions of Americans are struggling to afford rent. That’s why I’m a strong advocate for building more affordable housing. Families deserve to be able to live, work, & build their lives in their communities.
