Invest in kids, not war.
Trump wants to shred Head Start health & safety standards. He says fewer standards mean we MIGHT be able to enroll more kids.
Actually, we can maintain standards AND open more slots by simply funding Head Start instead of a war with Iran.

Right now, Republicans are debating whether we will vote on another budget bill that would allow for BILLIONS more in war spending and even more health care cuts.
Trump wants endless money for war, but not a cent for health care or housing.
Republicans held an entire hearing about Medicaid fraud, but they don't want to talk about the FRAUD in the WH.
Crypto schemes, foreign bribes, the President ACTUALLY pardoning convicted Medicaid fraudsters.
Sounds like we've got some good leads—starting at the White House.
Todd Blanche is the guy who:
- Exposed the names & photos of Epstein survivors but hid the names of abusers,
- negotiated a $1.8 BILLION slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists,
- & cut a deal to give Trump's family immunity from IRS investigations.
I'm voting NO.
Civil rights activists bled and even died to make sure the Voting Rights Act was signed into law 61 years ago today.
Today, Trump is trying to suppress every American's fundamental right to vote.
Stop the SAVE Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
These wildfires have taken a heartbreaking toll on the Spokane region, but they have also brought out the best in our community.
Thank you to every firefighter, first responder, volunteer, and neighbor who has stepped in to help. You are real-life heroes. ❤️
Gregg is a FORMER forest service ranger who was fired by Trump last year for NO cause.
Border Patrol asked him to help alert the community to ongoing fires around our forests.
He did. For free. But there won't always be a Gregg. That's why we don't fire rangers for no reason.
Trump is trying to destroy Head Start—and he's hoping you won't notice.
He's gutting basic standards & protections for over 700,000 kids, after he already tried and failed to defund the program altogether.
We need to speak up and SAVE Head Start.
On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state."
This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states.
I’m voting NO.
Spokane Public Schools have put together a resource page for residents impacted by the Spokane Wildfires.
For more info on child and medical care, cleanup and debris removal, and more, visit their page at the link below.
Stay safe everyone.
Trump & Russ Vought proposed a rule to take every federal grant in America hostage.
They don't care about making our tax dollars work better—they just want them to work for Trump.
Well, Democrats BLOCKED their corrupt rule, and I'll be fighting to kill it permanently.
Secretary Rollins says she MOVED 5 million people off food stamps. No. She KICKED 5 million people off food stamps.
Letting kids go hungry isn't the "win" you think it is. It's a damn disgrace.
The devastation across Spokane County is heartbreaking but my commitment to support response and recovery is unshakeable.
I write the bills that fund the government, and I will make Spokane’s recovery a top priority. Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes. 🌲❤️
We need to crack down on Medicaid fraud.
I completely agree.
But what Republicans didn't mention at today's hearing on this very topic is that Trump pardoned criminals that were convicted of MAJOR Medicaid fraud.
WATCH ⬇️
Republicans held a hearing on Medicaid fraud today, so I asked a top health expert: what bill delivered the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history?
Yep. Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Seems to me like the biggest Medicaid theft actually happened last year in Congress.
Some good news. THANK YOU to local law enforcement, our fire crews, and all of the first responders that SAVED LIVES.
These folks are true American heroes.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote “so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.”
Those were his own words to anti-abortion extremists.
Senators who vote for Blanche are voting for an Attorney General who will attack abortion rights in EVERY state.
Alongside our entire Congressional delegation—Democrats & Republicans—I'm calling on the President to approve our state's request for an expedited emergency declaration.
We need every bit of support we can get to fight the devastating fires we're seeing in Eastern & Central WA.
Last night, @governorferguson.bsky.social made a formal request for an expedited emergency declaration for the Spokane fires. Our ENTIRE delegation is urging the President to approve that request immediately.
All of us are working together to make sure Eastern & Central WA get more help ASAP.
