Great to join @nationalnurses.bsky.social to call for a health care system that works for all Americans, not just the richest few. Congress needs to extend the expiring ACA tax credits to save families from a massive premium hike next year — and then we need to pass my Medicare For All bill.

This is Donald Trump's economy — tax cuts for billionaires, fewer jobs for poor and working American families. www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

Private Employers Shed Most Jobs Since 2023 Last Month

A historic decline comes as Wall Street anticipated slight growth through the month.

Trump’s treatment of immigrants is beyond inhumane. That’s why today I’m introducing my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to phase out our over-reliance on private, for-profit detention centers & put in place guardrails to protect immigrants’ civil & human rights. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

Democrat says Trump admin's "absurd" actions will help ICE bill succeed

In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Washington Representative Pramila Jayapal outlined her updated ICE detention bill.

Trump and Republicans have been promising a new health care plan for nearly a decade. Yes, literally almost TEN YEARS. I’ve got an idea — and it’s a plan that actually exists! Let’s pass Medicare for All. www.commondreams.org/news/medicar...

Medicare for All Backers Argue It's a Better Solution Than Whatever Trump Is Cooking Up | Common Dreams

As President Donald Trump postpones unveiling his supposed plan to tackle soaring US healthcare costs—reportedly after pushback from congressional Republicans—Medicare for All advocates have renewed c...

Congress can’t just sit by as giant corporations use AI to discriminate against people applying for housing, jobs, or loans. We must act. Our AI Civil Rights Act will regulate these algorithms, root out bias, and put guardrails in place at every single stage of development.

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

I think the word “affordability” means a whole lot to the millions of Americans who are struggling to pay for food, rent, or health care right now. Democrats are fighting for you. Trump doesn’t give a damn.

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

We’re demanding that Russ Vought, Trump’s OMB Director and the architect of Project 2025, testify before the House Budget Committee. He has unlawfully blocked funding and created a massive affordability crisis across the country. Congress and the American people deserve answers.

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

That’s why today, I’m proud to stand with @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, and @pressley.house.gov to introduce the AI Civil Rights Act.

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

AI is a $244 billion industry that lacks the guardrails necessary to protect Americans from the bias and discrimination baked into algorithms. And Congress is way behind on putting in place the needed regulations to ensure equal access to housing, jobs, and even bank loans.

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

These stories from individuals fleeing the brutal civil war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan are horrifying. The United States must use its leverage to end these atrocities and protect the Sudanese people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sudan civil war: The terrifying escape from el-Fasher in Darfur

The BBC visits a camp where people are taking refuge after the fall of el-Fasher city.

Millions of American families are struggling to afford their basic needs — food, housing, and health care. What are Trump and Republicans doing about it? Raising health care costs and giving tax cuts to billionaires. They simply don’t care. www.ft.com/content/cfa6...

‘Scraping for crumbs’: Americans squeezed by affordability crisis

Rising food, shelter and healthcare costs are hitting hard in Bethlehem and the surrounding Lehigh Valley

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

Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point.

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

This is the direct result of Trump’s reckless and rushed mass deportations: a mother deported in error and her two-year-old son left behind. There aren’t strong enough words to describe the cruelty and inhumanity with which this admin treats immigrants. It must end. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

She Was Deported in Error. Her Child Was Left Behind.

My office’s constituent services team was able to help NW Justice Project get money they were owed, which means they’ll be able to continue their work helping people get legal aid across WA! Reach out to our office if you need help with a federal agency — we are here to help!

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 30(source)

This administration is cutting foreign assistance programs left and right, including ones that promote inter-faith and cross-cultural dialogue — something they’ve claimed to care about.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 30(source)

Trump promised to lower costs on day one — even saying that electricity prices would be “cut in half” within 12 months. He lied. Electricity costs have skyrocketed in nearly every state, including right here in WA.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 29(source)

Every single resident of a community should be counted in the census so that everyone in that community — including U.S. citizens — have the resources they need. It’s that simple.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 29(source)

Trump doesn’t give a damn about the millions of American children who rely on a good public school education as their best path toward economic opportunity. They’re just catering to billionaires, who are rich enough to send their kids to private schools. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Trump administration announces dismantling of parts of Education Dept.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 29(source)

Legislation to release the full Epstein Files is now law — but this fight isn’t over. Trump and his DOJ will try to redact and cover up to protect themselves and their rich buddies. We’ll keep pushing for the truth and justice.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govNov 29(source)

This administration has slashed billions of dollars in foreign aid — and has little data or information to share about why programs have been cut and the impact it has on communities abroad and at home. I’m demanding answers.
