Trump & Musk are trying to choke off money for @ppfa.org but that would inflict real harm on women who need cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, & more. I met with @alexismjpp.bsky.social to discuss these attacks. We are both committed to protecting health care for working people.
Senator Murray is sitting at the corner of a wooden table, with her arms crossed and a purple phone out in front of her. She is looking to the left at a woman who is sitting with her hands folded and looking back the senator. Three other people are sitting on the opposite side of the table from the woman with their backs to the camera.
Two billionaires who have no clue what NOAA does and why it matters are laying off weather forecasters. Our whole economy hinges on the weather. Meteorologists support wildland firefighters. They help planes & ships navigate. This is going to cost lives and property.
Mass firings hit the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) on Thursday afternoon. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
I talked with WA state Early Care & Education Consortium members about the vital work they're doing to support students & families. Trump & Elon are making the child care crisis worse so we've got to get louder than ever to prioritize child care.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a large wooden table. A man is sitting at the opposite side of the table and ten other people around the sides of the table. The senator is looking to the right and smiling with her arms crossed. Multiple binders, papers, phones, and a pair of glasses are sitting out on the table.
Are workforce training programs DEI? Or supporting people with disabilities? Is it DEI to help veterans? I have yet to hear one Trump official provide a coherent definition of DEI, but they're happy to label whatever they don't like as 'DEI' & illegally rip away taxpayer dollars!
Do you believe taxpayer dollars should go to companies that discriminate?   Feels like a pretty simple question, but Trump's Labor Deputy Secretary nominee outright REFUSED to answer.   Maybe because Trump is making it easier for companies to discriminate.
I refuse to vote for yet another billionaire who will work with Trump & Elon Musk to try and dismantle the Department of Education. Republicans are pushing a pro-billionaire, anti-public school agenda. I voted NO to advance Linda McMahon's confirmation.
When the richest man in the world can use his unelected position to stomp out competitors & freeze oversight of his companies—we need a Labor Secretary who will stand up to that corruption. Chavez-DeRemer is not that person. I voted NO to advance her nomination out of committee.
Every veteran has a right to be outraged that an unelected billionaire and his teenage interns have thoughtlessly terminated VA contracts that support chemotherapy, imaging services, and more. DOGE is clearly a serious threat to VA patient safety. Kick Elon OUT of the VA.
"Measles is preventable—please vaccinate your kids to save their lives." That's what ANY sane public health official would say. The last measles death was a DECADE ago. But the elevation of anti-vax conspiracists like RFK Jr. is sowing distrust and killing children.
I spoke to leaders from Philanthropy Northwest about the great work they do across WA state & the entire Northwest region. Trump & Musk need to understand the damage they’re causing by ripping away promised federal dollars and undermining the valuable work of our philanthropic organizations.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a wooden table with her hands folded together. A man and a woman are seated on the far side of the table and two women are seated with their backs to the camera on the opposite side of the table.
An unelected billionaire who is cutting off cancer research & firing VA doctors joined Trump's official Cabinet meeting. Since Elon has more say on the budget than any Cabinet Secretary, I am calling on him to come before the Senate to justify the damage he’s causing.
Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)
Co-presidents Trump & Musk fired hundreds at Bonneville Power—the people who literally keep the lights on, and it's hurting those in rural WA state the most. I spoke to folks from WPUDA to hear about how this is affecting folks in the region and our electric grid.
Senator Murray is sitting at the head of a large brown table, looking to the left at a woman in red who is speaking with her hand outstretched. Next to the woman in red, there is a man also looking at her, and behind them 5 men are sitting in chairs up against the corner of the wall next to an American flag. On the other side of the table, two men and three women are seated with their backs to the camera.
House Republicans just passed a budget that would kick families off their health care, shut down nursing homes, and force kids to go hungry—all to pass more tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up our national debt.
Raphael is a disabled Army veteran who worked at the VA in Seattle and played a critical role in processing servicemembers' disability benefits. He's received nothing but stellar performance reviews. Elon Musk fired him with ZERO justification. Help share his story.
Democrats absolutely do not want a shutdown and are working in good faith to fund the government—but we need to know Republicans are willing to work with us to protect Congress’s power of the purse. That is the absolute bare minimum—and it is frankly not asking a whole lot.
Republicans are full steam ahead to defund Medicaid and kick kids off their health care to pass more tax giveaways for billionaires—but YOUR story & YOUR voice can make a difference. Congress needs to hear from you—so my advice is to get loud. Here's how you can help fight back ⬇️
Last week, Elon took $8 MILLION with an M—as in ‘Musk can’t count’—and counted it as $8 BILLION with a B—as in ‘BS.’ That is not saving money—it is poor reading comprehension. He might be a joke, but none of this is funny—and he's creating actual fraud.
Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
By crushing cancer research, what are Elon & Trump making more efficient? Their NIH funding cuts are illegal—so instead, they're suffocating the grant approval process for cancer researchers with so much red tape that labs & clinical trials will be forced to shut down.
