Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states. We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word. Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.

Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. By showing up at our local hospitals and speaking out, we can hold our elected officials accountable for putting billionaires ahead of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)

Good morning. If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer. But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut. Because they only care about the rich.

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness. Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder. Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Trump signed an Executive Order allowing doctors and medical staff to refuse treatment to veterans who are unmarried, Democrats. “Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated” Fascism folks.

Urgent community action needed by Monday! “DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated” This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

I was shocked how much today’s rally felt like church in a town that is very secular. We passed the peace (shake hands with a few neighbors and tell them we’re in this together). We sang a song (No Kings). A reverend spoke. We were filled with hope and purpose. #bellingham #nokings
