If FBI Director Patel wants to pass out branded bourbon or pop bottles in a locker room, he should stick to podcasting. This is a serious job & I don't believe the American people can count on him. Patel should never have been confirmed. He should resign or be fired.
PATTY MURRAY: We need someone at this agency who is focused on solving criminal cases, not passing out branded bourbon or jetting around the globe. Your job is to be reachable. If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. KASH PATEL: *crashes out*
My message to Pete Hegseth on Trump's $1.5 trillion war budget: “Every gun made... every rocket fired signifies... a theft from those who hunger and are not fed... This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the hopes of its children.”
Republicans are racing to give Trump $1 billion for his ballroom & Trump is spending your tax dollars—not to lower your costs—but to repaint the Reflecting Pool. Are Republicans going to say anything or keep silently bending the knee?
Another extension, but this shouldn't be complicated. Mifepristone is safe and effective, and women should be able to get abortion medication through the mail or telehealth if they need. Extremist judges shouldn't get to decide how women get health care.
How about instead of a website that pushes dangerous crisis pregnancy centers that lie about abortion care, the federal government just invest in health care, child care, paid leave, and other things that would actually help working moms?
Tear gas and pepper spraying children is unacceptable. Period.    We cannot accept this level of barbaric cruelty as normal. The agents responsible for harming kids must be held accountable for these heinous actions.
Nearly a million people in WA state qualify for federal legal aid—a program Trump wants to defund entirely. I met with clients whose lives were changed by the work this funding makes possible. I protected funding for legal aid this year, and I’ll do it again.
Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire & drive up health care costs, forcing families to drop coverage.   Their argument? It's too expensive to lower YOUR health care costs.    But somehow there is ALWAYS money for Trump's reckless foreign wars and gold-plated ballrooms.
Trump is out-of-touch with reality.   It’s simple: the American people don’t care about the bottom of the reflecting pool being painted or a White House ballroom. They care about being able to afford to put food on the table and get health care when they need it.
Q: You are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? We're still seeing gas prices soaring TRUMP: I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. It's such a stupid question you asked. This is one of the worst reporters. She's with ABC fake news.
I met with kids in Yakima who rely on housing and homelessness programs to keep a roof over their heads.    Trump tried to cut these programs by HALF. I said no–and even increased that funding. Let’s build more housing for our kids, not a ballroom for Trump.
There it is. Republicans’ SAVE Act is not about protecting the right to vote – it’s about putting up barriers to make it harder for certain people to vote. Senate Democrats will block this anti-democracy garbage from ever becoming law.
Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"
Today is Military Spouses Day & I want to express how grateful I am to our military spouses for their sacrifices. Congress must do more than extend its gratitude; that’s why, from housing to affordable child care, I'm fighting to give military families the support they deserve.
Trump pushed out as many VA providers as he could, without worrying about the consequences, and now the VA is refusing to fill badly-need clinical positions. This means longer wait times for veterans and more burnout for already overwhelmed providers. Our veterans deserve better.
Trump wants massive funding cuts for the Hanford cleanup, which would mean pointless delays and drive up costs even more. Not on my watch. Workers have made incredible progress turning nuclear waste into glass. I won’t let Trump threaten our environment and our future.
I spoke with health care providers in Ellensburg, and here's what I know: Medicaid cuts mean more uninsured patients and tougher margins for rural hospitals already stretched thin. It's not an accident—it was a GOP policy decision. We need a Congress that will repeal the cuts.
