Should America spend YOUR taxpayer dollars on foreign wars no one supports or child care here at home?
That's exactly what I asked folks in Port Townsend, and the answer was unanimous.
Fund child care NOT war.

Republicans passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history—putting basically every hospital in America under tremendous pressure all to make room for billionaire tax cuts.
I was at Harborview to talk with providers about how these cuts make it harder to care for patients.
Trump wants $1.5 trillion for war. But not a cent more for child care.
I'm tossing his budget into the trash.
Republicans are forcing women to carry non-viable pregnancies—and it is literally killing them.
Banning abortion was never about saving lives; it is about controlling women. We ALL need to speak with our voices and our votes to stop Republicans’ anti-woman crusade.
Today, on the twenty fifth anniversary of September 11th, we remember the innocent lives that were taken from us, and we pause to honor the bravery and selflessness of every single person who stepped up in the face of unthinkable tragedy.
Trump and Linda McMahon's attacks on public education are hurting students with disabilities.
PROTECT public education. PROTECT students with disabilities.
Maybe President Trump doesn't realize this, but Republicans ALREADY control the House & Senate!
So there's NO reason why he can't deliver on this $5k dividend and that health care plan he's been talking about for over a decade RIGHT NOW!
But of course this is yet another grift.
I hit the streets of Bellingham, WA to hear from local business owners about how Trump's tariffs are costing them—literally.
They all agreed: let’s pass my bill to end Trump’s tariffs NOW.
At a time of real global uncertainty, Trump is picking a fight with Canada!
Seriously! He is banning Canadian beer, milk, motorcycles, and more.
This is stupid. YOU pay the tab on Trump’s tariffs—NOT Canada.
END the trade war NOW.
Trump wants to raid an underfunded child care program with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of families already on waiting lists to give money EXCLUSIVELY to married parents.
Sorry, did single parents stop paying taxes? It’s NOT 1950—I'll be fighting to stop this grift.
If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it.
America can meet the moment, but the clock is ticking.
Congress needs to step up and move NOW to protect American lives and safeguard our future.
I heard from fishermen and port officials in Bellingham who said their gear costs more: nets, lines, parts, and DIESEL. And relationships with Canada—their buyers and ports—are a LOT more difficult in the middle of Trump's trade war.
END Trump's tariffs.
END Trump's war with Iran.
Workers are the backbone of our economy, communities, and families. The best way we can honor their dedication is with:
✅ paid leave,
✅ affordable child care,
✅ protecting the right to organize,
✅ raising the minimum wage,
✅ and lower health care and housing costs.
I spoke with providers at Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend about how Trump and Republicans' historic Medicaid cuts are making it harder for them to help cancer patients, seniors, sexual assault survivors, and more.
Congress needs to put patients first & REPEAL TRUMP’S MEDICAID CUTS.
Trump wants to let special interests build over our protected forests—and we need to fight back to stop it.
The public comment period to overturn the Roadless Rule closes at midnight on September 21. Speak out now to SAVE OUR FORESTS.
Trump forced America into a war the people do NOT support. And now, under his leadership, our troops are paying the price.
Trump’s illegal war is a catastrophe. Republicans MUST join with Democrats and VOTE to stop it.
Science and research matter.
I stopped by PNNL's new Bench to Bay Lab in Sequim, which I secured funding for, to learn about its research on marine environments and radioactive materials at sea.
Malden has already been through so much. My thoughts are with the entire community as they are under evacuation.
Thank you to the firefighters and first responders working to save lives, homes, and livelihoods.
