Emil Bove's disdain for the rule of law is so absurdly apparent to anyone who isn't afraid of Donald Trump. This is a guy who said "F**ck" court orders. He should be nowhere near a lifetime appointment as a circuit court judge. I will be voting NO on his confirmation.
This is a crisis. While I have very little confidence in this administration, I'm calling on POTUS to intervene. No one should starve or die from disease when aid is sitting across the border. Let all humanitarian actors get aid into Gaza. Make sure it can be delivered safely.
Trump's tariffs are raising costs for businesses, making everything more expensive for all of us. Trump is treating tariffs like a reality TV game. Will he? Won't he? But this isn't reality TV, it's real life. Our economy needs certainty and sanity. These tariffs MUST end.
Republicans have consistently brushed aside concerns about Trump's DOGE cuts at the Social Security Administration. Yet here we are confronted by longer wait times, and less help for Americans who need it. I'll be fighting for investments to hire real people & modernize SSA.
I joined BC Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social today to say that Washington state and Canada's bonds will outlast Donald Trump. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Trump's tariffs are raising costs on both sides of the border quite literally for NO REASON. It's past time Republicans help put an end to Trump's nonsense tariffs.
🚨A top government watchdog confirms that Trump illegally withheld federal funds from Head Start. Trying to steal money from preschool programs? Not on my watch. This former preschool teacher is fighting to protect our kids from Trump's illegal cuts. My full statement. ⬇️
Republicans have plenty of time to ram through tax cuts for billionaires—but they literally haven't even talked about extending health tax credits for working-class families. Republican indifference is a major reason why your premiums will be spiking dramatically THIS YEAR.
Joshua Divine is a self-described anti-abortion "zealot" who refused to say in his hearings that court orders must be followed and called IVF a "contentious issue."   Republicans confirmed him to a LIFETIME District Court appointment today. I voted NO.
I was asked about Republicans who are JUST NOW proposing "fixes" to the massive health care crises they helped create by passing Trump’s Big Ugly bill. It's just lip service—they had the power to stop this & chose not to. If we're being honest, only a Democratic majority will reverse these cuts.
This is a truly heinous & sickening way to treat human beings. By the way, the majority of immigrants being detained have ZERO criminal record. Republicans hold the majority. It's past time they join Democrats in calling for real oversight of these human rights violations.
Make sure everyone knows: Whether you are on private insurance or get coverage from the marketplace, understand that your premiums will go UP because of Trump's Big Ugly bill. And with 17 million Americans losing health care, there will be reduced services & longer wait times just about everywhere.
Have you heard about the Roadless Rule? It's a policy to protect forestland across the country that Trump is repealing. A legislative fix will take time—the best way to fix this is to speak up now. Help get the word out. We need to pressure Republicans to reverse course.
Republicans voted to defund PBS this week, claiming it was to address the national debt (minus $1 billion). This was just after they added trillions to the deficit to pass tax breaks for billionaires (plus $4 trillion). Maybe they're going after Count Von Count for a reason.
Harborview Medical Center in Seattle provides high-level trauma care for AK, ID, WY, & MT. Republican health care cuts are putting a major strain on them and every hospital.   A rural hospital fund doesn't help Harborview or the people in Republican states who count on them.
