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.

For Republicans, there's always money for ICE and there's even ONE BILLION DOLLARS for Trump’s White House ballroom.
But there's no money to help you or your family get by. Oh and whatever happened to everything being privately funded?
Last year, Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in our nation’s history—& rural hospitals are taking the biggest hit.
I was at Kittitas Valley Healthcare to talk about the status of health care here in Central WA.
Instead of funding Trump's war, we should fund Medicaid.
Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran.
They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.
The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges.
SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.
Republicans' next big legislative push includes:
✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol
✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom
❌ $0 for health care
❌$0 to help you afford the basics
Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.
If you are mad about Republicans' shoveling $1 BILLION at Trump's ballroom—as you should be!—just remember:
Trump is asking them to blow 1500x times that amount on his war budget.
Radical judges tried to rip mifepristone away from women in America.
SCOTUS paused that ruling—and I just led every Senate Democrat in an amicus brief making the case the science already made: mifepristone is safe & effective.
Extremists shouldn't decide how we get our medicine.
Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget.
$1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not.
I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.
Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs.
Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction.
Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.
Trump passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Hospitals are laying off staff and closing because of him.
Right now, in several states like mine, he's using AI to deny seniors on Medicare the treatments their doctors are recommending.
These are just facts.
Firefighters and nurses don’t get to hide their money in a trust fund and skip out on paying their taxes—billionaires shouldn’t get to either.
My new bill would close tax loopholes for billionaires with more than $50 million in dynasty trusts.
REMINDER: Republicans had every opportunity to save the ACA tax credits. They chose not to.
They’ve found plenty of money to fund Trump’s war in the Middle East, but they won’t spend a cent on health care for Americans.
Trump’s reckless policies are driving up prices for every American. But here’s the thing: this Republican Congress could stop him at any moment. They’ve decided not to, and we’re all paying for it—literally.
Republicans said it should be about states’ rights when it comes to abortion.
Except when Louisiana’s extremist Attorney General wants to tell women in my state—and the entire country—how they can get medication abortion?
NO. Protect abortion rights.
There are no Republican deficit hawks anymore. Not when they have proven that every time they win power, they will blow up the debt on war and tax cuts for billionaires.
Trump has spent TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his war of choice with Iran.
Republican logic: always money for war, never any to help working families put food on the table or get health care.
The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't.
This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop.
I have no intention of letting this stand.
Trump gets richer while working families struggle to get by thanks to his disastrous decision making.
He is the most corrupt President in history. Period.
Gutting the Voting Rights Act is a giant step backward for our country.
A better future is possible but it requires ALL of us to make ourselves heard with our voices and our votes.
It means voting in every election, staying engaged. "Democracy is not a state. It is an act."
