It was great to join @uaw4121.bsky.social at UW today to fight back against NIH cuts. Groundbreaking research that could lead to lifesaving cures will be lost if these cuts go into effect. This will hurt EVERYONE, in blue districts and red — and we’ll keep standing up to protect health care.
Last night I hosted a community forum with nearly 1,000 constituents in attendance! It was great to discuss what we can do to come together and chart a path forward under the Trump administration. If you couldn’t make it, I look forward to seeing you at my next town hall!
Government is funded by the people, for the people, to do the work of the people. As Trump and Republicans try to dismantle democracy and give tax cuts to giant corporations and the wealthiest individuals, Democrats will keep fighting back to make our government better.
83 years ago, Executive Order 9066 forcibly relocated and incarcerated over 120,000 Japanese Americans. This will forever be one of the most shameful chapters of US history. Today, as we remember this dark time, we must recommit to rooting out all forms of hate in this country.
BREAKING: Trump just endorsed House Republicans’ plan to gut Medicaid, the program he said he would “love and cherish.” Medicaid provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. Trump is trying to rip that away. Democrats are fighting to stop him.
Coming up in just under an hour! Tune in on Instagram with me, @repbonnie.bsky.social, and @wtfshow.bsky.social.
I’m going LIVE on Instagram with @repbonnie.bsky.social tomorrow at 12:45pm ET/9:45am PT. We’ll be talking about Trump and Elon’s dangerous plans for our government, including the shutdown of the CFPB and cuts to Medicaid, and what you can do to stop it. Tune in tomorrow with @wtfshow.bsky.social!
I’m glad to see Leonard Peltier finally released from prison and able to return home to serve the rest of his sentence. To all of the advocates who raised concerns about the fairness of his trial and his health conditions — thank you. apnews.com/article/leon...

This #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to highlight some remarkable Black leaders in our district. Marcia’s dedication to addressing and alleviating food insecurity is critical, and I have been so honored to support her work at the FamilyWorks’ Wallingford Food Bank!
Trump has dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. He has fired hundreds of FAA workers who did everything from maintenance and mechanics to aviation safety — and he’s threatening even more. He is putting our safety at risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump and Secretary Rubio have said that lifesaving USAID programs, like critical food assistance, have received waivers and are exempt from the funding freeze. But those programs are saying their money is still frozen. Waivers don’t feed families. Release the damn funds.
Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID: The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.
Trump and Elon’s funding freeze isn’t just hurting efforts to feed hungry kids and cure deadly diseases. It’s also devastating programs that fight child sexual abuse and exploitation — literally helping criminals get away with these crimes. www.wired.com/story/doge-u...
