Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Wishing peace, love, and joy to you all today and always.

Welcome to the newest co-sponsors of my Medicare for All bill in the House! Medicare for All is not only good policy — as premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans — it is incredibly popular. Let’s keep building momentum for universal health care and get this passed!

ICYMI: I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which would require greater oversight of detention facilities, repeal mandatory detention, and prohibit the detention of families and children. It’s time to protect immigrants from this lawless administration.

As energy bills skyrocket for millions of American families, Trump is killing off production of our country’s largest source of renewable energy. Why? Because his Big Oil billionaire buddies want more of your money. It’s greed and corruption at your expense. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

There are now more people in ICE detention than ever before — 68,440 people. Most have never committed a crime. Many are being held in facilities with horrific conditions. It’s cruel and inhumane, and it must end. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to call people with good news! It was such a privilege to talk to the young people that I am nominating for our country’s military academies. Here’s some joy as we head into the holidays!

Trump’s cronies at the DOJ were so busy scrubbing the President’s name from the Epstein Files that they forgot to redact some mentions of victims — exposing survivors publicly. They care more about protecting Trump than protecting victims of sexual abuse.

Trump’s name is all over the Epstein files, but the DOJ is still working to protect him. I will continue to call for transparency and to demand justice for the survivors. We all deserve the truth.

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, costs of gifts this holiday season have skyrocketed — leaving many families with less under the tree and empty wallets.

Last month, Congress passed the Epstein Transparency Act, and the President signed it. Yet the DOJ is still releasing far too many redacted files and even fake information. They are not following the law. Release ALL the files.

Judge Boasberg is once again reaffirming that Trump did not have the authority to send immigrants to CECOT to be tortured and violated due process rights. He is also ruling the gov't must have a plan to give these migrants due process by Jan 5th. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-o...

Good. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to use AI to hike their prices based on your shopping habits and charge you more than your neighbors. Congress must step in and ban personalized price gouging. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/22/i...

Americans can't afford Christmas gifts or health care.   Trump is naming battleships after himself.   Who is this presidency for? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Journalists at CBS (owned by a pro-Trump billionaire) put together a story on how this admin sent immigrants to be tortured at CECOT — then CBS leadership killed it. Our democracy depends on a free press that can do its job without censorship. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Great to meet with @the-rac.bsky.social to discuss the need to curb settler violence in the West Bank and the harms of Trump weaponizing antisemitism to push his political agenda at home and abroad. Grateful for their partnership and their continued advocacy for democracy, justice, and peace.

The Pentagon just failed their EIGHTH STRAIGHT AUDIT. Congress cannot continue funneling hundreds of billions of dollars to a completely unaccountable agency while American families can’t afford food or health care. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

This statement from 18 Epstein survivors is spot on — the Trump administration is failing to follow the law by not releasing countless files and failing to redact the identities of survivors. This is not justice.

Maybe the most obvious example of this administration catering to billionaires? Trump’s dismantling of the CFPB. He has overturned rules and withdrawn lawsuits that would’ve benefited millions of American families — all to help his rich buddies pocket more cash.

Highly-skilled immigrants with work authorization are being targeted on their job sites, followed home from work, and kidnapped and disappeared by Trump’s secret police. This makes ALL OF US less safe and should alarm every single American.

ICYMI: I joined my WA Democratic colleagues in demanding better conditions at the Northwest ICE Processing Center. Every single person in detention, no matter their legal status, deserves to be treated with dignity. I’ll fight for that as long as it takes. www.kuow.org/stories/excl...

Trump and Republicans are using their power to go after groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which combats white supremacy. They are using the force of government to go after organizations they disagree with politically. That’s authoritarianism.

Cover-up (noun): an attempt to prevent people's discovering the truth about a serious mistake or crime. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/u...

“Lucy did not know where she was, nor did she understand the words being spoken around her… and yet, under the system we have built, she was the one required to answer." I witnessed the kids docket at immigration court. It’s cruel and inhumane beyond belief. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

I’ve been in close touch with federal, state, and local partners after the catastrophic flooding that Washington State has seen over the past week. We’ll keep working to get help and resources in and folks informed as much as possible.

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted. This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

Visa applicants go through some of the most rigorous vetting our country has. Trump is exploiting this horrific tragedy to advance his anti-immigrant, xenophobic agenda and shut down more legal pathways. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/19/u...

NEW POD: I sat down with @repscfigures.bsky.social to discuss how America’s broken health care system is failing communities of color, why rural hospitals are struggling, and why he joined my Medicare for All Act. Watch below or listen wherever you get your podcasts! youtu.be/rw8GzGPj-Sg

This is called “breaking the law.” Today’s deadline isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. Release ALL of the damn files. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Trump’s ICE is kidnapping and detaining US citizens. And lying about it. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

Today, the Trump administration must release the FULL Epstein Files. No missing pages. No documents blurred out. No redactions to protect rich and powerful men. Survivors and the American people deserve answers and transparency. By law, Trump must provide them TODAY.

Dems got 218 signatures — a majority of the House — on a discharge petition to extend ACA tax credits and save health care for the working families. Mike Johnson refused to bring our bill to the floor, instead sending us home for the holidays while Americans' premiums go up.

Thanks to Trump’s reckless tariffs, families are paying more this holiday season. The cost of everything from toys to tool boxes has skyrocketed, meaning less under the tree for too many working families.

Tomorrow is the deadline for Trump’s DOJ to release the full Epstein Files. No redactions or deleted pages to protect the President and his billionaire buddies. Full truth, transparency, and justice for the survivors of this horrific abuse and for the American people.

Republicans are putting the lives of trans children at risk and getting in the way of families making personal decisions for their own children. We should be HELPING these kids survive and thrive — but Republicans would prefer to use them as a political prop.

Republicans kill ACA tax credit extension, a bad November jobs report, tomorrow’s Epstein Files deadline, and a huge win in Miami. Here are 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know!

Homeland Security has worked 33% fewer hours on child exploitation cases this year. Why? Because Trump has diverted law enforcement resources AWAY from combating child trafficking so he can go after anyone who looks Latino or speaks Spanish.

In Seattle, we take pride in being a welcoming city for all people, cultures, and identities. We look forward to hosting World Cup visitors to our beautiful city, and we cannot back down from our commitment to inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community. www.king5.com/article/news...

As prices skyrocket and Trump does nothing to lower them, Republicans took to the House floor today to instead cruelly attack trans kids. Why are they so intent on increasing hatred and fear and stopping these children from living their lives? It’s awful.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities. 28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

Trump's plan to denaturalize hundreds of American citizens every single month is outrageous. Every U.S. citizen should be appalled by this. If he can do this to “them,” he can certainly do it to you. My full statement:

You shouldn’t be charged higher costs because your grocery app is profiling you — but that’s exactly what Instacart is doing. Their use of surveillance pricing to rip you off is alarming, and with @deluzio.house.gov, Rep. Pat Ryan, & @repangiecraig.bsky.social, I’m demanding an investigation.

Trump’s DHS is deputizing state and local law enforcement to target immigrants. This means local cops spending less time, energy, and resources on crime and emergency response and more on ICE raids. It makes all of us less safe, and I’m helping to lead legislation to stop it.

I'm holding a press conference RIGHT NOW on the PROTECT Immigration Act — a bill to stop Trump from using local police in ICE raids. Join me and @jayapal.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, @aclu.org, and @immcouncil.org by tuning into the live below.

Can you imagine a child who struggles to understand English, representing themselves in a legal proceeding, trying to cross-examine a witness, and going up against a seasoned immigration attorney? It’s completely absurd. But this is what Trump and Republicans want.

Trump attempted to overturn a free and fair election and incited an insurrection. And the American people deserve to know what Jack Smith’s investigation found. Democrats will keep pushing for transparency even as Republicans try to cover it up.

The American people deserve to hear, directly from Jack Smith, what his investigation into Trump found. Instead of that transparency, today Republicans brought him in for a closed door deposition, all in an effort to cover up Trump’s attempt to overturn a free and fair election.

TPS recipients are valuable members of our communities — many of them have been here for decades working, paying taxes, building families. Instead of stripping their legal status and forcing them back to warzones, as Trump is doing, we should be giving them a pathway to citizenship.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans, your bills are getting more expensive.
