Had to bring some Seattle spirit and joy to the other Washington today! Still cannot believe that incredible win. GO HAWKS!!!! 💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚

Tomorrow morning I’ll be going to review the unredacted Epstein Files. What we have seen so far reeks of a cover-up. It’s time for the truth.

Hard YES to this @RepThomasMassie. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

We knew Trump was lying when he said he was going after the “worst of the worst”. And now the data confirms it. ICE has torn apart communities, gone after children, and arrested people who are here LEGALLY. Stop the quotas. Require judicial warrants. ICE out NOW.

Everyone should watch this incredibly powerful ad, released on Super Bowl Sunday, from Epstein survivors. The DOJ must release all the files NOW. #StandWithSurvivors

THE SEAHAWKS ARE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!! What an AMAZING game!! 💙🏆💚

“Washington made a choice. A choice to let the laws turn to rust.” Here’s former Assistant AG for the U.S. Antitrust Division Jonathan Kanter on how Trump’s admin is failing to enforce the antitrust laws on the books. And how we can actually lower costs for Americans.

“When access to distribution is fair, consumers see lower everyday prices, communities retain local food access, and small producers gain a foothold in the market.” Listen to Emily Chase’s testimony about the concentration of the grocery market and her experience as an independent grocer:

The price of everything from chicken wings to veggie platters has skyrocketed in the Trump economy. That means that thanks to Trump and Republicans, your Super Bowl party is going to cost much more.

Republicans love to say that immigrants hurt our economy. The truth is that they pay trillions more in taxes than they receive in any sort of benefits. Immigrants contribute so much to this country, including to our economy.

So excited to cheer on all of the talented athletes from my home state of WA during the Winter Olympics! https://www.king5.com/article/sports/olympics/olympic-athletes/when-to-watch-washington-athletes-in-2026-winter-olympics/281-7cc8cc02-e20e-4d51-9b84-a76de48d5ba4

Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.” Instead, he is sending federal agents to kidnap kids off the street as they head to school — sending them to prisons thousands of miles from home. How does this make any of us safer? https://cnn.it/4rDiZ3D

Last year, I asked FBI Director Kash Patel if he had met with any of the women abused by Epstein and his friends. He refused to answer. As we see more of the files, the DOJ is now saying it won’t prosecute anyone further. This is a disgusting cover-up from both the FBI & DOJ.

NEW POD: I sat down to discuss my latest field hearing on corporate consolidation and the rising cost of food. Tune in to hear about my work on the Monopoly Busters Caucus! Watch at the link in my story or listen where you get your podcasts. https://youtu.be/jkRGbHsl-qw?si=siHcEHT4ZXaLP0rD

DHS is using biometric identification systems — filming protesters and legal observers. They are creating a surveillance state. That’s why I introduced the ICE Out of My Face Act to protect our freedoms and our democracy.

This is fantastic news! I’m thrilled to see the dedicated nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital getting a contract that provides them with fair wages and working conditions. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/seattle-childrens-nurses-ratify-new-3-year-contract-avoiding-strike/

Trump has already fired or forced out nearly 200,000 workers. Now they are slashing protections for thousands more. Federal workers keep our gov’t running and ensure the American people get their Social Security, VA benefits, and Medicaid. This is ridiculous. https://on.wsj.com/3OqTBQ8

Republicans love to talk about protecting kids, yet they are constantly putting trans kids in danger. Trans people account for less than 1% of the population, yet there were 745 anti-trans bills introduced last year alone. It’s cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

Layoffs are up 118% from January 2025. Trump promised to come in and fix the economy on day one. He lied. And now thousands of Americans have lost their jobs as unemployment rates continue to rise. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/05/l...

Two-thirds of Americans agree that ICE has “gone too far”. It is time to get these masked men out of our cities. NOW. www.npr.org/2026/02/05/n...

Republicans have handed over Congress’s Article I powers to the White House. They don’t question him, they don’t hold him accountable. They don’t do anything to rein in the lawlessness of this administration. But Democrats will.

Crumbs for working people, gold bars for billionaires — that’s the Republican Party's priority.

Tom Homan has said that he will pull 700 DHS agents out of Minnesota — that still leaves 2,300 agents or a force FOUR TIMES the size of the local Minneapolis police force. ICE and CBP need to get out of our communities NOW.

U.S. citizens are facing intimidation, threats, and brutality at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol. Instead of calling this out, Republicans are trying to point the finger to free speech in Europe. We won’t let them. It’s time for accountability right here at home.

DHS is using biometric technology to create a surveillance state with militarized troops terrorizing communities. That’s why I’m leading the ICE Out of Our Faces Act with @edmarkey.bsky.social and @jeff-merkley.bsky.social to stop the proliferation of this technology and protect our democracy.

Republicans held a hearing on “Europe’s threat to American speech” — fully ignoring the fact that Trump and his DHS are violating the First Amendment here in American daily. We are in a crisis in this country, and Republicans are doing everything possible to distract from that.

It is unbelievable that Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Todd Blanche are continuing to protect predators — redacting their names while exposing the names of survivors and REFUSING to investigate these pedophiles. The people in these files, who wrote these emails, should be investigated and deposed NOW.

ICYMI: I hosted a field hearing in Seattle on corporate consolidation and the rising cost of food. Trump and Republicans are sitting back as prices skyrocket. Democrats are standing up and working towards solutions to lower costs for American families. https://bit.ly/4rtHZKD

The way that my Republican colleagues speak about trans people is absolutely despicable. Their rhetoric is dangerous and puts the lives of trans people in jeopardy.

Trump and Republicans are working for one group of people right now — billionaires. Instead of introducing ludicrous legislation to pretend they’re trying to balance the budget, they should be working to serve their constituents — not the President and his billionaire buddies.

The Judiciary Committee should be a space where we discuss how we can protect our Constitution and how we can protect the American people. These should be things we can work on in a bipartisan way. Republicans don’t want to do any of that.

I will not be complicit in sending another dime to DHS as they continue their reign of terror. We must get these agents out of the Twin Cities and out of our communities across this country. My full statement:

This is unconstitutional — it’s that simple. And it’s what Jack Smith warned us about. Without accountability for Jan 6th and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Trump will keep acting to subvert our elections. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/us/politics/trump-nationalize-elections.html

When Democrats have the gavels back, we need to dismantle DHS and ensure that immigration is handled how it should be — as a CIVIL system. In the meantime, we won’t stop pushing for guardrails to ICE and CBP.

Kristi Noem sending ICE agents in MN body cameras is simply not enough. We also need major reforms — including access to body cam footage, no masks, independent investigations, and real accountability for ICE and CBP’s lawlessness.

There are over 5,300 files with references to Donald Trump in the last batch of Epstein Files. And this is only about half of the files the DOJ has. Release ALL the files. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/us/trump-epstein-files.html

We are in an affordability crisis in this country — as millions of workers struggle to stay afloat. The Trump administration’s reckless tariffs and Big Bad Betrayal have raised prices for food, health care, you name it. It’s time to work to lower costs.

A judge has blocked the Trump admin’s attempts to block Members of Congress from making unannounced inspection visits to ICE detention facilities AGAIN. It is our duty to conduct oversight — and we will not let Trump and his lawless DHS stand in the way of that. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Amazing to see so many Grammy winners using their time and platform last night to lift up the contributions of immigrants!!

Mike Johnson handing Congress’s constitutional power to the cult party of Trump — allowing their lawlessness to continue without checks. Congress has the power of the purse, and we can and must use it to rein in ICE and CBP.

When Democrats take the majority, DHS needs to be overhauled. In the meantime, we demand clear guardrails for ICE and CBP. No warrantless arrests, no masks, no private, for-profit detention centers. And there must be independent investigations and real accountability.

It was so great to meet with so many groups and local leaders who are doing such incredible work in Seattle and beyond. Thank you to J Street, Jewish Voice for Peace, and IAFF for sitting down and for everything you do!

“As a result of consolidation, corporate has been running skeleton crews at our store for years.” The Lake City Fred Meyer store closure directly impacted Melissa and her community. Listen to her story.

Today marks the start of Black History Month — a time to recognize both the hardships endured by and celebrate the achievements of Black Americans. As the Trump admin attempts to erase Black history — it’s critical that we honor Black history, voices, and leaders every single day.

The hateful and white supremacist messaging coming from this administration is disgraceful and dangerous — but unfortunately not surprising. We cannot let this become normal. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/us/politics/white-supremacy-trump-administration-social-media.html

“This business represents years of sacrifice, long hours, and the belief that hard work and persistence should still mean something in this country.” Listen to Cynthia’s story about how corporate consolidation has threatened her small business.

The government should work for the American people, not spend billions of taxpayer dollars on agencies that are terrorizing communities. There must be accountability and real change.

Congratulations to the newest justice on the Washington State Supreme Court, Justice Colleen Melody! https://washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/washingtons-newest-supreme-court-justice-is-sworn-in/

“We need to rebuild, protect, and support local regional food infrastructure.” Mike Callicrate, an independent cattle producer, details his experience in the industry as monopolies have taken over the market. Listen to his story:

Today, I joined local leaders and advocates to organize our response to the potential for surging ICE presence in our community. We are coordinated and will not back down. ICE has no place in Seattle.
