Trump’s megabill will change student loan repayment. Starting 7/2026, new borrowers lose access to affordable plans & get just 2 options, with longer repayment timelines & more interest. Starting 7/2028, borrowers on existing plans will see their plans change & their monthly repayment cost increase.

NWS is forecasting dangerously high temps across parts of WA this week. #Heat advisories are issued for several counties statewide, with dangerously high temps during the day and overnight, and close to 100-degree highs expected Wednesday.

Donald Trump promised he’d lower prices, but his tariffs & the economic uncertainty he creates is making life more expensive for hard working Americans.

I spoke with Dr. Teplow, Medical Director at Sea Mar Monroe, about how the Medicaid cuts Trump signed into law could impact access to care.
If providers can’t keep up with increased need and rising costs, they may be forced to close their doors—hurting patients & entire communities.
July is Disability Pride Month! This month, we recognize the contributions of the disability community & recommit ourselves to working towards a more inclusive society.
Republicans’ megabill will kick people off health care & raise costs for working families.
@repkimschrier.bsky.social & I discussed how these cuts will put patients at risk & drive up premiums.
36 homers & counting! Cal Raleigh isn’t just chasing history, he’s setting the standard. ⚾⚾⚾

Trump’s Education Dept is withholding $137M in approved funding from WA schools, hurting kids’ education.
I’m joining Rep. Strickland & WA Democrats in demanding its release. Our students, educators, & schools can’t afford these delays.

Trump’s cuts to health care in his megabill will kick 330,000 Washingtonians off their health care, but it will impact everyone in our state. Hospitals will lose $662 million a year because of this law, forcing facilities to close, care to be reduced, & insurance premiums to go up.
At Sea Mar’s Monroe clinic today to hear about the essential care they provide. We discussed the challenges patients face accessing health services with cuts to Apple Health & other health programs, & the importance of investing in providers that serve our rural & underserved
Stopped by the Snohomish Boys & Girls Club Teen Center to see how the space is supporting kids & families this summer. Programs like these give young people a safe place to learn, grow, & thrive!
Federal food programs like SNAP help feed over 900,000 Washingtonians. Republicans just made a historic cut to these programs that could cut benefits for 130,000 in our state.
We were successful in the lower courts & we’ll keep fighting to protect Americans from these taxes on everyday goods.
Trump’s tariffs aren’t legal without Congressional approval & House Dems are fighting back! Today, we filed a brief with the Court of Appeals making clear the president cannot unilaterally put these sweeping tariffs in place.

The Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will raise electricity costs and kill 1.75 million jobs by wiping out clean energy investments. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repscottpeters.bsky.social explains why we must build a clean, affordable, and reliable energy future – not tear it down.
Trump is claiming that he repealed the tax on Social Security & that’s not true. Relief for seniors in his new law is temporary while massive tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy are here to stay.
www.cnbc.com/2025/07/07/w...
Taking away health care from 17 million people isn’t a “minutia."
The impact of Republicans’ health care cuts will be profound: People will lose health coverage. Rural hospitals will close. Services will be cut down. Health care costs will go up.
The Supreme Court just green lit plans for the mass firings of federal employees at Social Security, Health & Human Services, and other crucial agencies that support Americans every day.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Come join @repkimschrier.bsky.social & me on IG Live tomorrow to discuss the impacts of Trump’s Megabill on our health care system.
Trump pulls the rug out on tariff negotiations again!
He promised 90 deals in 90 days & cheaper goods. What he delivered was higher prices & a souring economy.
This is why Congress must reclaim its constitutional tariff authority & vote before any new tariffs are put in place.
