Today we honor the service of more than 18 million military veterans across our country. Their unwavering dedication has made the American people safer. Today and every day, they deserve our respect and gratitude for their service and sacrifice. #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans

Donald Trump & his GOP have unleashed higher costs on working Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The result: Costs are up, jobs are down, & the GOP is driving us towards recession. On Tuesday, voters across WA & our nation rejected this failed leadership.

Yelm voters, make your voice heard & vote YES on the Education Programs & Operating Replacement Levy. Vote YES for basic education that students rely on: Good teachers, certified specialists, nurses, counselors, social workers, extracurricular activities, and more. www.king5.com/article/news...

Trump and Republicans in Congress are spearheading a health care disaster. Do better - stop the attacks on health care and stop raising costs. www.theolympian.com/news/politic...

Republicans shut down our government rather than work w/ Democrats to stop your health care premiums from going up. Republicans are raising your health care costs while refusing to come to the table to help lower costs. And: They’re still on vacation. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/09/12/i...

Mothers and infants are at risk. Soon, the Republican Shutdown brings food and nutrition assistance benefits to a halt. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

We're 20 days into the Republican Shutdown. Republicans still haven't: ❌ Done anything to lower costs ❌ Offered any ideas to protect health care rather than cut it ❌ Come to the table to negotiate a bipartisan plan to stop price spikes for health care ❌ Cut their vacation short

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor America’s first inhabitants. We also celebrate indigenous history, resilience, and Tribal Treaty rights.

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have shut down our federal government. Why? They want to continue to strip away health care from millions of Americans. 🧵 stricklandforwashington.com/2025/10/03/g...

Republicans have gutted health care to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. WA's rural hospitals - a lifeline for so many in our communities - face closure. I’m fighting to reverse this extreme Republican attack on health care & make it more affordable. www.cascadepbs.org/news/2025/07...

Costs are up, jobs are down, and the GOP is driving us towards a recession. Americans deserve better. Americans deserve policies that lower costs and put the American Dream back within reach. www.axios.com/2025/09/05/j...

The Trump tariffs are raising costs for working Americans and killing jobs - all while the Republican budget plan cuts health care and services that people rely on. Our state’s working families, and economy, are paying the price.

Thank you to the members of the International Union of Operating Engineers 612 for having me and for all of your support! I'll always stand with you and stand for the right to collectively bargain in the face of attacks on unions and working people. #SouthSoundProud #WA10 #WAJobs

Longer wait times for people who work for a living. Money running out and benefits in doubt. Chaos. This is the threat the GOP budget plan poses to Social Security.

Labor Day is a celebration of workers and the labor unions that support them. The victories of America’s labor movement - like workplace safety protections and collective bargaining rights - helped build our middle class.

Donald Trump and his extreme allies in Congress are doing all they can to distract us. Why? Because Americans’ costs keep going up, all while Republicans work to give tax breaks to billionaires. This is the Trump economy - and middle-class Americans are paying the price.

It’s pretty simple: The Republican plan takes away health care from millions of people so they can pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires. It’s going to hurt people and hurt our economy. They lied about helping you and your family economically.

WA, it’s time to VOTE & make your voice heard! Our primary election is TOMORROW, 8/5. You can return your ballot until 8pm on Tuesday. You can return it to a drop box near you or return by mail - no stamp needed. Learn more & where you can still register to vote in person here: votewa.gov #Vote

Happy Pride Month! Let’s celebrate our nation’s LGBTQ+ community, resilience, and love. Every American should have the freedom to live without fear of discrimination, and receive equal protection of the law. Love wins. #Pride #Pride2025

Congratulations to Lacey’s New Life Baptist Church on its 50th anniversary! Fifty years ago, they held their first service and opened their doors to the community, becoming the first predominantly Black church in Thurston County.

This AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting Rep. Marilyn Strickland of WA's 10th CD! Rep. Strickland made history as the first Korean American woman elected to Congress and the first African American to represent Washington State in Congress. Thank you for your leadership, Rep. Strickland!

The Puget Sound is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s a national treasure. It’s the heart of our economy, culture, and way of life.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members from the South Sound and across our nation who gave their lives in defense of our freedoms and safety. #MemorialDay #SouthSoundProud

Early this morning, House Republicans voted to pass Donald Trump’s Big Bogus Budget Bill. I voted NO. How extreme is this budget plan? Even two Republicans joined me in voting against it. If the Senate passes this bill and President Trump signs it into law, here's what would happen:

Our service members answered the call to serve. Having the chance to start a family shouldn’t be a sacrifice they are forced to make. Everyone who serves in the military should have access to world-class fertility care if they want it. #SouthSoundProud www.yelmonline.com/stories/stri...

In just over 100 days, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have spiked the cost of groceries and housing, and so much more. They’ve made it harder to get health care. They’re hurting our economy and marching us toward a recession.

One more way that Trump and Musk are hurting our schools, our kids, and our farmers. They know these cuts will hurt our communities, but they are more concerned with lining their own pockets than feeding hungry children. #TheyDontCare www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

Every kid in America deserves a chance to succeed - and that starts with early learning. But Trump, Musk, and their Dodgy DOGE are pulling the rug out from these essential programs for children while the House GOP does nothing. www.king5.com/article/news...

The Trump/Musk attack on health care hurts families across our country - and right here in the South Sound. I’m fighting to protect our communities from these irresponsible attacks on our safety. It’s time for the House GOP to stand up & do the same. www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/a...

Pushing back on the Trump Administration’s illegal actions and harm to our communities isn’t always about being in the spotlight. Leadership in this critical time can also mean working strategically behind the scenes and using our power to take back the House. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/4...

Why are House Republicans letting Elon Musk invade our privacy? Elon Musk gained full access to the Treasury Department’s payment system – which is responsible for Social Security and Medicare benefits. I’m fighting to protect Americans’ sensitive data. abcnews.go.com/Politics/hou...

In Washington State, we know firsthand the harm that wildfires can bring to our communities and our health. And Trump and Musk? They’re busy decimating the ranks of wildland firefighters who risk their lives to keep us, our property, and our communities safe.

Donald Trump & Elon Musk aren’t doing anything to lower costs for working Americans & strengthen our economy. Call House Republicans & tell them you oppose the Trump-Musk attacks on public education, Medicare, Apple Health, & more. Please SHARE: 5calls.org

Donald Trump promised he was going to bring costs down on day one. So how is kicking women and their newborns off of their health care lowering costs? How is putting veterans out of work lowering costs? How is taking away food from kids and seniors lowering costs?

Anyone who is willing and qualified to serve our country should have the chance to do it free of discrimination. A diverse military that promotes fairness and non-discrimination is a stronger military. nwasianweekly.com/2025/02/stri...

Republicans are trying to rip away Apple Health from over 65,000 children in the South Sound. In Washington State, 35 percent of moms and their newborns rely on Apple Health for health care. Taking away a newborn baby’s health care is not pro-life. It’s just MAGA extremism.
