@pocan.house.gov, @rephuffman.bsky.social, and I, along with 28 of our colleagues, are demanding answers from Trump as his administration targets free speech. We can not allow them to undermine our First Amendment rights. Read the full letter:
If Republicans don’t extend health care subsidies, the uninsurance rate for young adults will go up 25%. Democrats are holding the line to make sure that doesn’t happen. It’s the 16th day of this shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to open the gov’t and protect health care.
I hosted a roundtable with federal workers impacted by furloughs, and AFGE 1128 President Alton McDonald offered to share his thoughts about this administration’s treatment of federal workers. Listen to his story:
We are on day 15 of the Republican Shutdown, and Republicans still won’t come to the table. If Republicans don’t act to save health care, 22 million Americans will face skyrocketing premiums, leaving many with no choice but to cancel their plans and hope they don’t get sick.
I was just notified of yet another death in ICE custody — 20 people have died in their custody since Trump came into office. ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. There must be accountability and oversight.
The cost of childcare in Seattle and across this country is out of control. And with Trump and Republicans’ cuts to Head Start and food assistance, raising a family is becoming out of reach for millions of Americans. Families deserve better. www.seattletimes.com/business/sea...
It’s been 21 days since Adelita Grijalva won her election, yet Mike Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in. Why? Because she said she would be the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. Her constituents deserve a voice in Congress. Swear her in NOW.
The past nine months have been filled with lies and broken promises from Republicans. But here’s the truth: Republicans don’t want to fix health care. They want to continue kicking millions of Americans off health care so they can give more tax breaks to billionaires.
In Speaker Johnson’s district, people would see their health care premiums skyrocket $2,284 per month if Republicans refuse to protect health care. Republicans are making their own constituents poorer and sicker.
This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean. Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy. apnews.com/article/trum...
Americans across this country — in blue, red, and purple districts — want Congress to protect health care and stop costs from skyrocketing. Democrats are at the table, ready to negotiate. But Republicans are too busy on their vacation.
Thanks to Mike Johnson, in the past 100 days, the House of Representatives has only been in session 20 days. And now, 13 days into the Republican Shutdown, they show no interest in negotiating a deal and are ending their vacation. It’s time for the GOP to come back to work.
Federal workers are facing an impossible situation — as Trump slashes agencies, and the Republican shutdown forces thousands of workers onto furlough. I will continue to do everything possible to stand up for the workers who keep our country and our government running. Thank you for all you do!
I visited Neighborcare — an amazing community health clinic that serves low-income, seniors, and people of all statuses in our community. As they confront the challenges of Trump’s health care cuts and the Republican shutdown, I will continue to stand with them and support their critical work.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as we recognize the history and deep cultural traditions of the diverse Indigenous Tribes, we must also reflect on the trauma and damage they have suffered in this country. Today, we recommit to lifting up and supporting our Indigenous communities.
I visited Neighborcare and met with their staff to discuss how the Republican shutdown is affecting their work. As this administration undermines the public health work that organizations like this are doing — it was an important reminder to get your annual vaccines this fall!
