Trump’s illegal forever war is threatening servicemembers’ and civilians’ lives, while costing billions of taxpayer dollars every day. Congress must step up to end it.

Rep. Jayapal speaking at a podium in a formal setting, with an American flag visible in the background. Text on the image reads: "New Legislation: Rep. Jayapal Introduces War Powers Resolution to End Trump’s Illegal War with Iran."

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 23(source)

I just introduced a new War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

One more example of why we can’t trust Trump’s FBI with a clean extension of FISA 702. Kash Patel will spy on anyone he wants revenge on. Get a damn warrant.

More money has been invested in AI infrastructure than the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program combined. It is a risky bet and could devastate our economy on a scale similar to the 2008 financial crisis.

I send deep condolences to the family, friends and constituents of Rep. David Scott on his sudden passing. I am grateful to have worked closely with Rep. Scott on furthering regenerative agriculture strategies and other issues. May his memory be a blessing. https://bit.ly/3QVfFUj

Georgia U.S. Rep. David Scott has died

Georgia U.S. Rep. David Scott, who was seeking a 13th term in Congress, died at age 80.

Happy Earth Day! I am deeply grateful to have the opportunity to represent a district and state with so much natural beauty. We must all work together to protect this beautiful planet that we call home.

Trump’s DOJ is once again targeting and intimidating perceived political enemies. The Southern Poverty Law Center does incredibly important work protecting democracy and promoting civil rights — and I will continue to stand with them.

Southern Poverty Law Center Says It Is Under Investigation by Justice Dept. (Gift Article)

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for investigating hate groups, has been accused by Republicans of unfairly targeting conservative and Christian organizations.

The DRC is in the midst of an incredibly complex and dangerous humanitarian crisis. This is simply not how we should be treating our Afghan allies who helped US troops.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 21(source)

Republicans already gave ICE & CBP $170 billion for lawless immigration enforcement last year. Now, their top priority is to give them another $70 billion when Americans can’t afford healthcare, gas, groceries or rent? What an outrage.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 21(source)

The majority of the American people want universal health care. Under Medicare for All, you get a government-issued insurance card at birth that you can use your entire life. This way, we can actually cut down on costs and focus on preventive care.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 21(source)

In the richest country in the world, everyone should have quality, affordable health care. We have to reform our unbelievably broken system.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 20(source)

Good riddance to another one of Trump’s cruel, corrupt cabinet members. Once again, another woman has been ousted by Trump. It’s about time to clean house of the incompetent men too — I’m looking at Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 20(source)

Countless trans people have already been forced out of the military because of Trump’s trans military ban. Attempting to kick out those remaining is a gross politicization of our military.

Photo of Pete Hegseth with a headline from The Advocate overlayed: "Pete Hegseth's Pentagon has started kicking trans troops out of the military, DOJ says"

It’s incredibly suspicious that every time Trump is about to make an announcement about the Iran war, there are perfectly timed bets and futures trading. This needs to be investigated immediately — anyone insider trading must be held accountable.

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on?

Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

You want to talk about fraud? Look at the Department of Defense first.

3 stacked images with text overlayed that detail an exchange between OMB Director Vought and Rep Jayapal. The top image of Vought reads, "It's important to not have fraudulent programs." The bottom two images are of Rep. Jayapal and read, "Oh, I'm so glad you asked about fraud... how many consecutive audits has the Department of Defense failed as of the end of 2025? The number is 8. The DOD is the ONLY federal agency that has never passed an audit. And you want to talk to me about fraud?"

Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall last week! Community is one of the most powerful tools we have right now — your questions and opinions inform my work every day.

Vashon turns out in force for Jayapal town hall - Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber

Washington's 7th District Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, whose district includes Vashon Island, arrived at Vashon Center for the Arts on Thursday evening to a standing ovation, greeted by a packed house of islanders eager to hear from their representati...

At least 88 corporations paid ZERO in income tax despite reporting $105 BILLION in profits. Meanwhile the average American paid $14.5% on their income. Our system is rigged to benefit billionaires. It’s time to fix it.

The image features a list of companies that did not pay income taxes in 2025. The text reads: "YOU PAID INCOME TAXES IN 2025, these companies DIDN'T…" followed by: Tesla, Palantir, Halliburton, Walt Disney, PayPal, Southwest Airlines, CVS Health. The background shows faint images of tax forms. The source is the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

There is billions in confirmed fraud within the Department of Defense, yet Trump and Vought are going after health care, childcare, and nutrition assistance. As Congress puts together the 2027 budget, we must fight back.

Trump has no plan to cut the $39 trillion national debt, but he does want to cut childcare. His budget director is scrambling to clarify | Fortune

OMB Director Russell Vought appeared before Congress to answer questions about the request for the largest military spending boost since World War II.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 18(source)

Imagine if we invested in childcare and health care like we do in war and weapons.

In 2024, I secured $800K for Vashon Community Food Bank for their new food bank and community resource hub to serve more people in need. They are doing incredibly important work to provide for our neighbors as costs continue to rise, and I’m proud to support it.
