One year ago, I was proud to co-lead the introduction of the Block the Bombs Act with @ramirez.house.gov. Since then, we’ve seen a growing coalition calling for an end to the US’s complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. Our message today remains the same: Block. The. Bombs.

This is a BIG win. A judge has now reaffirmed that Trump’s freeze on processing immigration applications for 39 countries is illegal and that processing must restart immediately. Today’s ruling is not the end of the fight, but it is a major step in the right direction. https://nyti.ms/4obNTiX

Judge Says Trump Officials Must Restart Asylum and Immigration Processing

It’s time to stop blaming trans people for Republican failures.

Rep. Jayapal speaking with a quote overlayed: "Trans people aren’t raising our rents or driving up our costs. Trans people just want to live authentically as themselves."

I met with Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche after the Bondi hearing. It was and still is abundantly clear that Blanche is still acting as Trump’s personal attorney. Someone who covers up for predators should not head the Department of Justice.

DHS must immediately withdraw funding from Winn Correctional Center and every detention center that does not meet minimum required standards. Congress must pass my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 3(source)

Bill Pulte weaponized his position to go after Trump’s political opponents. He is unqualified to be Acting Director of National Intelligence. As Congress prepares to vote again on FISA Section 702, we must end Trump and Pulte’s ability to spy on Americans without a warrant.

Today’s War Powers Resolution PASSED 215-208 in the House. If I were able to be present for the vote, I would have voted yes. Full statement:

This is what happens when MAGA billionaires like David Ellison take over the media. And it’s why the Trump administration is so eager for Ellison to control Warner Bros. Now, CBS and 60 Minutes. Next, Warner Bros and CNN. Corrupt corporate consolidation must be stopped.

‘60 Minutes’ Correspondent Scott Pelley Fired by CBS News

Pelley’s exit comes after he made comments critical of Editor in Chief Bari Weiss.

USAID used to trace and treat Ebola outbreaks. But Trump shut it down. And now we’re seeing people die as the Ebola outbreak intensifies. Global health involves all of us — it’s about saving lives and stopping the spread of diseases. Republicans stopped this critical work.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 3(source)

The Trump administration is pushing for the largest Department of Defense budget in history — $1.5 TRILLION. DOD has never passed an independent audit. We should be investing in healthcare and childcare, not more war.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 2(source)

Trump is playing politics with grants, doling out money to groups that support him and cutting off funding from critical projects. This means money for science, research, education, health care, and climate action is in jeopardy — and it’s bad for all Americans.

White House Seeks to Impose Political Test on Billions in Federal Grants

The average American household has spent $450 more on energy costs during Trump’s Iran war. This war is illegal, immoral, and costing Americans big.

The largest ICE detention facility contractor, the GEO Group, made $254 MILLION last year. All while immigrants suffer and work on $1/day. Disgusting. I have a bill to eliminate all for-profit ICE facilities and create strict standards, including minimum wage pay.

Overturn Citizens United. Abolish Super PACs. Regulate AI.

Photo of Pramila Jayapal speaking at her desk with a quote from her underneath in white and green text: "“We can’t let Big Tech use its big money to buy our democracy. We can fight this. If Democrats retake the majority, we must stand up to Big Tech and expose their attempt to buy influence and favor within our government. We must get money out of politics by passing my Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and by passing my legislation to abolish Super PACs. We must also root out corruption and implement serious regulations on AI that protect our economy and communities.”"

3 photos of Rep. Jayapal speaking with blue, pink, and white text overlayed. The full text reads: "To trans people everywhere – I also want you to know this: Those people are threatened by your strength, by your joy in being fully who you are. Those who fight against trans people are just JEALOUS of the freedom that they have taken to be fully who they are. Those people just want to destroy that, rather than imagine what it would be like to be fully who they are."

Trump and Hegseth’s ban on trans servicemembers is rooted in hate, not reality. I’m glad to see further legal action against this discriminatory policy.

Federal appeals court rules that Trump's trans military ban appears discriminatory

Judge Robert Wilkins said key provisions of the Trump administration's transgender military policy may be driven by a "bare desire to harm" transgender people.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 1(source)

The conditions reported inside Delaney Hall in New Jersey are indefensible — lack of medical care, inedible food, unsanitary conditions — all so a private company can profit. Delaney Hall and every private, for-profit detention center must be shut down.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 1(source)

Trump plans to DROP the $1.8 billion slush fund to reward MAGA insurrectionists and cronies who committed violence on his behalf. This blatant corruption is so unpopular, even Trump can no longer defend it. Public pressure works.

Axios headline: "Scoop: Trump plans to drop "weaponization" fund"

The attacks on naturalized citizens by Republicans trying to boost their political careers should not be normalized. Naturalized citizens know how meaningful it is to be an American. Republicans can never take that away.

Jayapal slams GOP resolution excluding naturalized citizens like her from federal office

U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is pushing back against a Republican colleague’s constitutional amendment targeting naturalized Americans, dismissing it as racist and xenophobic. “One loyalty” U.S...

Happy Pride Month🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ To the LGBTQIA+ community, even as Trump and Republicans promote hate, know that: I see you, I hear you, I love you, and I will NEVER stop fighting for you.

A vibrant poster featuring a large rainbow arc running diagonally with the word "PRIDE" in bold pink letters across it. The year "2026" is displayed in white on the rainbow. There are star-like sparkles around the text. The background is white with thin blue and pink border lines.
