The cruelty of the Trump administration knows no bounds. Trump's cronies KNEW cutting aid to South Sudan would make a deadly cholera outbreak worse—and kill people. They did it anyway—and celebrated. Disgusting.

I've heard about ICE improperly stopping or detaining Tribal citizens for no apparent reason aside from their physical appearance. This has got to stop.  The disrespect and harassment of U.S.-born Tribal citizens by ICE is outrageous and inexcusable.

Trump’s rollout of the EHR system in WA state created life-threatening problems & obstacles for veterans’ to get the health care they need. Rushing the deployment of this system while serious issues remain is a recipe for disaster. I'm demanding answers.

Whooping cough is PREVENTABLE with vaccines—but under RFK Jr.’s anti-vax and quack science directives, the Trump admin is turning back the clock on critical public health progress. Our children and families deserve so much better.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. If they wanted to lower your health care costs, they would. The truth is: Republicans do not care one bit if your health care premiums explode.

The Trump administration is doubling the level of cancer-causing chemical formaldehyde Americans can be exposed to. Is that going to Make America Healthy Again?  SPEAK UP against this giveaway to the chemical industry.

Trump & RFK Jr. are threatening hospitals to stop providing care for trans youth—including in WA state. This is dangerous & wrong.   Families & their doctors know what’s best for them. NOT the federal government. Democrats will fight back.

15 years after the ACA became law and Republicans STILL can’t come up with more than a “concept” of a plan.

UPDATE: The criminal charges against Wilmer have been DISMISSED. His record is CLEAR. Trump's DHS has absolutely no credibility. Federal agents sicced an attack dog on an innocent man, watched as he was mauled, denied him medical care, and lied about it. Shameful.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Washington state has assistance for families affected by the flooding and severe weather. Get more info below. ⬇️ www.dshs.wa.gov/alert/food-b...

Exactly zero veterans think the problem with the VA health care system is that there are *too many* staff providing care. But Trump's VA has now decided it won't fill thousands of open positions. We need answers about what this will mean for veterans.

Open Enrollment in Idaho ended Monday—our first look at the very real damage caused by Republican health care sabotage.   Twice as many people dropped coverage. New enrollments dropped 24%.   Idaho is the canary in the coal mine.

There will be a long road ahead to recover from the historic flooding and severe weather events in WA state. Check out these resources and common questions about flood insurance claims to make sure you have the information you need to start the process.

The top 5 states where health care premiums are jumping by the highest percentage? All Republican states. The next 5? Also Republican states. And yet, the vast majority of Republicans couldn’t be bothered when it came to saving the ACA tax credits.

Trump is trying to BAN states from regulating AI in *any* way to protect your safety and privacy. He couldn't get the votes in Congress to do it—so he's threatening to sue or yank funding from any state that stands up to tech billionaires. This is a massive, corrupt overreach.

ICYMI: Speaker Johnson is REFUSING to let the House vote on a bill to extend the ACA tax credits this month. People are buying health coverage NOW—January is TOO LATE. Republican Leaders won't do a thing to help families keep their health care.

Conditions at the Northwest Detention Center are unacceptable—and a year of Trump's cruel mass deportation campaign has made the situation far worse.   I'm sounding the alarm on overcrowding, lack of medical care, food, & more at ICE facilities. We need answers and accountability.

Brought to you by DOGE and two billionaires who don't care about the consequences of their actions.

I take my responsibility to support our troops and their families seriously, and I always will. I voted against the annual defense bill because it doesn't do enough to curb the Trump administration's lawlessness that puts us all at risk—& leaves out key provisions I worked on.

The storms in WA state have been a sobering reminder: the decisions we make in DC really matter for families back home. 20 years ago, I secured funding for Mount Vernon to build a flood wall. Now, that flood wall is preventing major flooding from devastating the city's downtown.

A good reminder for everyone commuting in extreme weather conditions today.

Remind everyone: Republicans made tax breaks for billionaires permanent. Permanent! They exploded the national debt by trillions to do it.   But saving health care for a few years? Republicans say that's too expensive.

My message to everyone in WA state dealing with the aftermath of the devastating floods: I know you have a long road ahead, but I will be with you every step of the way and will fight tooth and nail to make sure you get the support you need to rebuild and recover.

We should always come together in times of tragedy and focus on helping people. Thank you to the first responders working tirelessly to keep people safe as WA state experiences catastrophic and record-breaking flooding.

How many Americans will actually get to retire when everything in their lives is more expensive because of Trump's economy?

Here's Trump's Chief of Staff openly admitting Trump is weaponizing YOUR government for his own "score settling" and retribution. This is the most corrupt administration in history and they're not even pretending otherwise.

🚨Spread the word: Major flooding is projected in Western Washington state in the days ahead. As the severe weather and evacuations continue, it's critical that everyone stay informed and alert.

Skyrocketing premiums. Higher prices on just about everything. The highest unemployment rate since the pandemic. This is the Trump economy.

The Trump administration is completely out of touch with reality and working Americans because it's run by some of the richest people in the world. A government by billionaires, for billionaires.

ICYMI: Republicans cut provisions in the defense bill to make IVF affordable for servicemembers. Why? Because Speaker Johnson doesn’t want our troops to be able to build their families. Trump talks a big game about IVF—but he won't lift a finger to help people afford it.

A vile and disgusting statement from a sitting Senator. Freedom of religion is fundamental to the identity of America. What a disgrace.

Information from NWS Seattle: In coordination with King County, we have issued a FLASH FLOOD WARNING for a levee breach in Tukwila WA near Todd, Blvd. Water is likely moving north towards I-405. In addition, an evacuation notice is now in effect from King County.

So many of us loved Rob Reiner's movies. He left such a profound impact on so many. What an absolutely black-hearted and despicable statement from the President of the United States about a man who was just murdered. Trump is deeply unwell and unfit to serve.

The last thing our veterans need is FEWER people making sure they get the health care they need. This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.

Washington state: we're not out of the woods yet. Spread the word and make sure you and your family are prepared for power outages and other side effects of the flooding and extreme weather.

Only a billionaire would think Trump's economy is affordable. Oh, wait...

As Jewish families in WA state & around the world celebrate the start of Hanukkah, I’m thinking of the victims from the horrific shooting in Sydney. They should have been able to celebrate safely. This kind of antisemitic hate & violence has no place in the world.

My thoughts are with the students at Brown University. It’s devastating to see yet another mass shooting in America. This kind of violence should never be normalized. We need common sense gun safety laws.

This was my message yesterday while the sun was still shining: some of the toughest days are still ahead for Washington state. Listen to local officials, stay alert. But know that everyone is stepping up to help their neighbors, and we'll get through this together.

As more rain moves into the region over the next few days, make sure you’re listening to local officials and first responders for the latest safety updates and staying alert.

LET YOUR NEIGHBORS KNOW: STAY OUT OF FLOOD WATER! Help spread the word and keep doing your part to stay safe!

WASHINGTON STATE: It can't be said enough, even as flood waters recede in some areas, we are not out of the woods yet. Please stay alert and follow instructions from local officials to keep yourself and first responders safe.

I secured funding to build the Skagit County Flood Wall back in 2006. Even during the catastrophic flooding we saw this week, that same flood wall protected downtown Mount Vernon. Investments like this save lives and property. We need more, not less.

Visited Snohomish County this morning, and this flooding has hit our communities hard, but I am so heartened by how our state is coming together. THANK YOU to ALL of the first responders who are saving lives and keeping our families safe. I've got your back.

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him. He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

Stopped by the FEMA response center in Bothell to thank everyone working around the clock to keep communities safe during the floods and storms. I'll keep pushing in the Other Washington to make sure folks get the federal resources they need to respond and recover.

Trump’s trade war with Canada is as stupid as it is damaging. The tariffs, the threats, the insults—they need to end. Canadians are our close friends and neighbors. We need to stick together. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

THANK YOU to our incredible Coast Guard, who are pulling off lifesaving rescue missions in extremely dangerous situations. These brave men and women are American heroes! 👏👏👏

This is good news for Washington state and how it should always work when it comes to disaster relief. We work together to respond and we work together to rebuild and recover.
