Reminder: We’re less than three weeks away from a government shutdown. Yet instead of passing bills to keep the government open, Republicans are kowtowing to Trump’s unconstitutional actions and pushing a budget that is just one giant tax cut for the richest of the rich.
On this day in 1956, Rosa Parks and other civil rights activists were unjustly arrested for organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Today, decades later, we continue to honor and recognize the strength of these brave organizers who helped pave the way for the civil rights movement.
This is such a beautiful way to turn the fear of this moment into something positive for Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ community. I am so glad to live in a community that comes together during times of hardship – and also just what a cool place to get married! www.kuow.org/stories/roma...
Trump is hurting our public safety and national security. He’s pulling federal law enforcement away from the important work of combatting things like drug smuggling and human trafficking — instead having them go after immigrants who pose no threat to public safety.
Today would have been my friend John Lewis' birthday. He often said, “Never stop fighting. When you see something wrong, you have to call it out. Never give up, and never give in.” In his honor, we must promise to continue fighting for justice — today and every day.
I was proud to join @uaw4121.bsky.social's Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research & Jobs rally on Wednesday. Trump’s attempt to cut NIH funding is an authoritarian power grab that will halt lifesaving research. We won’t allow it. We'll fight back every step of the way. mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-...
ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...
Trump is literally fighting to let banks charge you higher overdraft fees. Democrats put a $5 cap on overdraft fees last year. Republicans, at Trump’s request, just introduced legislation to overturn that cap. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
The chaos and cruelty of the Trump administration are carefully designed tools. He’s trying to turn us against each other to distract from the fact that Republicans are enriching the wealthiest billionaires and biggest corporations at our expense. But we won’t look away.
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!
