BREAKING: Republicans, after debating through the night, passed their budget bill, which strips food assistance and health care from the poor to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. It's a betrayal of working families, and I voted HELL NO.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that Marco Rubio can override the First Amendment just because he doesn’t like what you wrote in a student newspaper. Rümeysa Öztürk’s op-ed wasn’t a national security threat, and certainly didn’t warrant her being kidnapped off the street.
Update on Republicans’ budget bill: We DON’T know when we’re voting or what they’re adding in their negotiations. We DO know that it will take away health care and food assistance from Americans to give billionaires a tax cut, and we’re going to fight it like hell.
U.S. credit rating gets downgraded, a good SCOTUS decision, and a federal judge blocks DOGE. Here are your 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know about this week to stay informed and keep up your resistance!
NEW: The Trump administration defied a court order and attempted to deport immigrants to South Sudan — an incredibly dangerous country where many of these individuals are not even from. Donald Trump is not a king. He must obey the courts. My full statement:
I introduced an amendment in the Judiciary Committee to try and stop Republicans' anti-immigrant bill from moving forward until Trump obeys the courts and returns wrongfully deported individuals, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Bring him home.
NEW: Trump just came out in favor of Medicaid work requirements — which are a CUT to Medicaid benefits. Republicans want to kick sick people and those with disabilities off their health care, all so they can give billionaires a giant tax cut.
Proud to join dozens of my colleagues to stand in solidarity with @replamonica.bsky.social. The DOJ’s targeting of Rep. McIver is a political attack and a blatant attempt to intimidate members of Congress from doing our jobs. When you come after one of us, you come after all of us.
Last night, @welch.senate.gov and I hosted a viewing of No Other Land — an Oscar-winning film about violence and destruction in the occupied West Bank. Thank you to Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor for letting us share this important story at the Capitol.
44% of all kids in America depend on Medicaid or SNAP to survive. But Republicans want to slash these programs so they can give a tax cut to billionaires. That’ll leave 34 million kids poorer, sicker, and hungrier.
Trump’s senseless cuts are driving away dedicated climate scientists and discouraging young people from entering the field. This will destroy our region’s progress in natural resource conservation — harming our planet for generations. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
