Yesterday on the House floor. If I sound angry, it's because I am. LGBTQ+ kids and their parents deserve better than the disgusting words and dangerous policy from my Republican colleagues.

Join me live tomorrow night as I answer questions from YOU about the government shutdown, saving health care, lowering costs, and more! 6-7pm PT. Thursday, October 23, 2025.

My neighbors never cease to inspire me. Today I felt the energy + power of people — regular, everyday people — united against oligarchy, fascism, hatred. Hundreds in Aberdeen + Shelton + Hoodsport, WA joined 7 million across the country. The largest single day of protest in history. No Kings Here 🙅🏽‍♀️👑

Adelita! Swear her in!

still here. still queer. still in the fight for liberty and justice for ALL. happy national coming out day ✨🏳️‍🌈

How ‘bout those @mariners.com ?!?!??!!!

Bottom of the 13th with our rally caps on 🧢 Let’s go @mariners.com !!!!

No one deserves to die from extreme political violence, from senseless gun violence. Prayers are not enough.

If Republicans were serious about having an honest conversation about ensuring Washingtonians can access affordable, clean energy, then we should be talking about the impacts the cuts they have made to critical programs like LIHEAP.

Last night I signed a discharge petition to deliver for what our neighbors want: the release of the full Epstein files. And I will continue working with my colleagues to uphold accountability, oversight, and justice.

@seattletimes reports federal officers from US Customs & Border Patrol showed up to ask for IDs, order the firefighters not to record the incident, arrest two members of the fire fighting crew. THIS IS NOT MAKING AMERICA SAFER.

Thank you to Tacoma Housing Authority for the tour of Hilltop North Apartments. Exciting to see beautiful housing meeting the needs of my constituents!

Enough is enough. My statement on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

These 4 new Task Forces will be led by CPC rising stars @beccabalintvt.Bsky.social @yassaminansari.bsky.social, @daveminca.bsky.social, & @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social Our Deputy Chair @ilhanmn.bsky.social will take over our longstanding Peace & Security Task Force from former Rep. Barbara Lee.

𝐍𝐄𝐖: Today, our Caucus launched 4 new Task Forces aimed at taking back the House in 2026 👊 These Task Forces—Ending Corporate Greed, Lowering Costs, Fighting Corruption, & Better Pay & Benefits—will advance policies that truly serve the working class, NOT the 1%.

This July 4th I resolve to stand strong against tyranny, to fight for freedom and liberty for all of us — not only the richest and most powerful. I refuse to give up on the promise of Our America. Together we can build a better future.

I’m a heartbroken HELL NO — I’m resolved to keep fighting ✊🏽

IT’S PRIDE Y’ALL! 💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💃🏽👯🧚🏽‍♂️👨‍🎤 My first Pride was 20 years ago — my first summer home from college. I was newly out, newly in love, and looking for community. Volunteering at Seattle Pride was such a beautiful way to jump right in! 1/

I don’t believe Trump and Republicans will stop trying to attack our healthcare, but this is a win. Medicaid keeps people alive. It keeps rural hospitals open. It pays for longterm care for so many seniors. Attacking Medicaid is unconscionable and unpopular.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads — by blood & by choice, the grandpas, tíos, coaches, big brothers. The dog & cat dads, the plant dads, those who step in & step up. And a special, personal happy Father’s Day to the dads who are teaching their daughters to change tires and their sons to cry.

It’s #Pride Season y’all 🏳️‍🌈 Keep dancing — it keeps us in the fight ✊🏽

Such a delight to talk to Bree Coven for the @seattletimes about @seattlepride #nowandthen breaking glass ceilings, and fighting for a better future 🏳️‍🌈 www.seattletimes.com/explore/spec...

Feeling angry? Anxious? Like you need to help defend our democracy? Time to knock doors for Deb K for Senate🚪🤛🏽 Talking to neighbors about engaging in the democratic process is good for the soul, action we can all take to make sure we have smart, capable, values-rooted leaders at every level.

History made! 🎉 Rep. @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social is the first out LGBTQ+ Latina elected to the U.S. Congress - and she’s joining us at the National Champagne Brunch on April 27! 🌈 Don’t miss her powerful story and bold vision for equality.

The White House has launched a tip line to turn neighbors against each other and stoke fear and division. What a shame it would if the line was flooded with calls from folks who disagree with the Trump/Musk/extremist agenda…

Our communities deserve better. Our neighbors demand better. And we will keep standing up, pushing back, fighting for our future — TOGETHER. 3/3

Hands off our social security and Medicare. Hands off Medicaid and public health funding. Hands off the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Department of Education. Hands off our voting rights. Hands off our Democracy. 2/

So proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with neighbors in Bremerton (hundreds on the Manette Bridge!), around the 6th m (Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Port Angeles, Sequim, Bainbridge Island, Gig Harbor, Port Townsend…), across the country to tell Trump, Musk, & Congressional Republicans: Hands Off! 1/

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY @corybooker.com continues holding the Senate floor and #MAGAMikeJohnson lost a key on the House floor when he underestimated women. Keep fighting. It’s working.

Just leaving the Senate Gallery to support @booker.senate.gov inbetween meetings — his determination and commitment to standing up for our communities is inspiring. When it comes to protecting access to health care, our voices matter. We will not — and cannot — back down from this fight.

Reminder to please follow @repemilyrandall.bsky.social for congressional updates (including official statements the disastrous national security breaches by Trump’s appointees 👊🔥

…use your social media platforms, maybe even write a letter to the editor. And get ready to phonebank and postcard write and door knock and give a few dollars at a time to flip seats. We all have to stretch — we have to win back the House in 2026!!!

What I know: people power is strong. You, your voices, your collective actions — you can change our course. Keep showing up for town halls. Keep calling/writing your Congress members. Keep looking for new ways to engage — call your friends who live in Red districts & ask them to turn out too… 3/4

Folks are scared,sad, confused, angry — I get it, I am too. Musk, Trump and the Republicans in congress who blindly support their actions (despite their constitutional mandate as a separately elected coequal branch of government to be a check and balance) are attacking Democracy as we know it. 2/3

ICYMI The Rachel Maddow Show covered my first *three* town halls in Tacoma and Bremerton. I’ve since held two more in Port Angeles and Aberdeen — be on the lookout for Mason and Jefferson County events soon! (and sign up for the official newsletter at randall.house.gov to get the news first) 1/3

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

I’m flying home for more town halls— but if the Senate holds the line and rejects this dangerous CR I’ll hop back on a plane. American people deserve a clean stopgap funding bill that keeps gov’t open, doesn’t do more damage, and gives us the space to negotiate a bipartisan budget solution.

Some thoughts after the joint address…

☎️SAVE THE DATE! I will be hosting a telephone town hall on Tuesday, Feb 25 @ 6PM PST. Looking forward to talking with all of you. Sign up to receive the dial-in information here ➡️ randall.house.gov/about/events

I wish my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would fight for corporations to pay what they owe just as hard as they fight to take food and healthcare away from children and families.

In Oversight Committee, Dem Ranking Member Connolly brought a motion to subpoena Elon Musk — the Republicans cut off debate & denied us a vote by making with a motion to table. They drug their feet to start the roll call and are currently texting R members to HURRY to get here to deny transparency.

What a heart wrenching loss — for her family, the movement, all the lives she touched, the long fight ahead. Working for PP & Cecile was a big part of my journey into politics. I’ll never forget her words to staff days after the 2016 election. They kept me going. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Ro Khanna and Ed Markey intro’d bills this week in the House & Senate to extend the deadline for Byte Dance to divest — I was proud to cosponsor to House bill. We need bipartisan support to save the platform. You can help be reaching out to your member of congress! (2/3)

I wasn’t in Congress when the TikTok ban passed—like so many of you I was disappointed. This is a loss for small businesses, creatives, organizers, and so so many unique voices. (1/3)

On our way to D.C. to celebrate with @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social and Sarah McBride as they are sworn into Congress. These women have stood alongside my family and daughter, @stellskeats570.bsky.social, for many years. We are grateful to get to do the same for them as they make history, yet again.

On the day before I’m sworn into the 119th Congress — let’s do a little #throwbackthursday 🗓️ December 8th was my last day as a member of the Washington State Senate. Here’s the resignation letter I submitted to Governor & my colleagues:

toasting a #newyear and a new adventure 🥂 Looking back, I see the faces of those who’ve helped shape me & accompanied me on my journey. I’m beyond grateful to neighbors, friends, supporters like you — for the likes, shares, doors knocked, phones called, house parties, sweet notes, & votes!

As casework director, she’ll continue problem solving for neighbors in the 6th facing difficulties with federal agencies. She’s dedicated to bringing professionalism and courteously to every interaction & knows that she can make a positive difference in the lives of real people in the district.

In the last few days of 2024, my congressional team keeps growing — please give a warm welcome to Chantell Muñoz, our Casework Director! Chantell has 10 yrs of experience serving the people of the 6th CD, most recently as the Deputy Director of Constituent Services for Rep. Derek Kilmer. (1/2)
