So proud to stand with @ramirez.house.gov, advocates, and supporters this week to introduce my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act. Together, we will fight for this legislation to reform our immigration detention system and make it more humane and just.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 5(source)

This deal is a nightmare. It would mean more price hikes, ads & cookie cutter content, less creative control for artists, & lower worker pay. The media industry is already controlled by a few corporations with too much power to censor free speech. The govt must step in. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/05/n...

Netflix to buy Warner Bros. film and streaming assets in $72 billion deal

Netflix announced it's reached a deal to buy WBD, bringing a swift end to a dramatic bidding process that also involved Paramount Skydance and Comcast.

Reminder: the Medicare Open Enrollment period ends December 7, 2025 — this Sunday! If you need any assistance to ensure you have the coverage you need in 2026, please reach out to my office. We are here to help!

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 5(source)

Democrats wanted to force big airlines to pay you if they delayed your flight for hours and hours. Then Trump came into office and cancelled the entire plan. Why? Because he only cares about helping out his billionaire buddies, not you.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 5(source)

The private, for-profit prison corporations that donated millions to help Trump get elected are now reaping the profits. This admin and ICE are funneling them billions of dollars in contracts to detain record numbers of immigrants — most of whom have no criminal record.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 5(source)

Despite Trump’s xenophobic and hateful rhetoric, we are a country built by immigrants. I stand with our Somali neighbors and all immigrants across this country.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 5(source)

“‘I’m a US citizen, please help me,’ she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. ‘Why are you doing this to me?’” Trump’s secret police have detained nearly 200 US citizens this year. This is illegal and it’s a danger to our democracy. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

‘I’m a U.S. citizen.’ Agents pull woman from car in Keys. Feds said she wouldn’t show ID

In Key Largo, in front of Pink Plaza at mile marker 103.4, agents stopped a woman driving a white Toyota Corolla and surrounded the vehicle.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

He’s aging now and we don’t know how much longer he has, but even today, with his achy bones and health challenges, he still has that mischievous playfulness. Happy birthday Otis! Thank you for blessing us with YOU!

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

Otis turns 14 today! This guy has given us so much joy and taught us so much about unconditional love! He’s gotten us out for walks even when we didn’t want to and made us laugh over and over again with his spunk and his spirit.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

Being undocumented is NOT a crime. And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

Scientists in Seattle are on the frontlines of the groundbreaking research to cure HIV/AIDS. Meanwhile, Trump has slashed funding for science and research across the country. We must restore this funding to save lives. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Path to HIV cure includes Seattle scientists

Two new studies provide insights into a possible cure for HIV, and feature the work of researchers from the UW and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

I was proud to stand with @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, & @pressley.house.gov to introduce our AI Civil Rights Act. As giant corporations & billionaires use algorithms to discriminate against people, Congress must pass this bill to protect Americans.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

The last time we had a balanced budget was in the 1990s under a Democratic President. Republicans have no room to talk about wanting to “balance the budget” after they passed the Big Bad Betrayal — selling us out for a tax break for the rich.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

As Trump detains immigrant fathers, mothers, and beloved community members, his administration is diverting resources and letting the real criminals run free. Weapons seizures are down 73%. Narcotics arrests are down 11%. He is not at all going after the “worst of the worst.”

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

HAPPENING NOW: I’m hosting my fifth Shadow Hearing, focusing today on Trump’s detention abuses. The administration is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants to detention centers with absolutely horrific conditions. If Republicans won’t conduct oversight, we will.

Trump's attacks on Somalis are disgusting. WA has one of the largest Somali populations in the U.S. and I am proud to have worked for decades with this community. As an immigrant, I reject this hate and stand proudly with immigrants from all over the world. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Trump Calls Somalis ‘Garbage’ He Doesn’t Want in the Country

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

Today I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants bill — to combat the lawless and inhumane way this administration has treated immigrants in detention.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

These are just a handful of the countless stories I’ve received from my constituents about how their health care costs are skyrocketing, thanks to Trump and Republicans. People across the country are going to get sicker and poorer — all so billionaires can get a tax break.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govDec 4(source)

WA state law prohibits the public disclosure of personal information like full names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. This lawsuit is yet another power grab from the Trump administration — and a violation of our privacy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

DOJ demands information on all Washington voters

The Department of Justice sued Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs over his refusal to turn over personal information on all state voters.
