A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Republicans seriously when they make this big show about law and order in defense of Tesla when, at the same time, they are letting Trump stab law enforcement in the back—pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers.

Not only is Trump still championing the violent insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol Police—but just this week, President Trump speculated about compensating people who committed crimes on January 6th with YOUR taxpayer dollars!

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

In Washington state, our 4th and 5th Congressional Districts—the only two represented by Republicans—have the highest proportions of people who rely on Medicaid! They will be hit hardest if Republicans succeed in their plan to dramatically slash Medicaid.

Under Harris, we'd be discussing adding home care to Medicare and achieving universal health insurance coverage. Under Trump, we are discussing Elon Musk eliminating Social Security, Medicare,and Medicaid to give himself a bigger tax cut.

What Republicans are pushing here is not a continuing resolution. In this case, C-R stands for Complete Resignation. Republicans are ceding more discretion to two billionaires to decide what does and does not, get funded in their states. It is a power grab CR. I will vote NO.

When I cast my vote, I’m representing the nearly 8 million people in Washington state. In this democracy their voices count for something—so you better believe I am not handing over my vote in exchange for nothing. I am voting NO on the House Republicans' slush fund CR.

Remember: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If they refuse to put forward an offer that includes any Democratic input and they don’t get Democratic votes—that’s on Republicans. Americans rightly understand REPUBLICANS have pushed toward a shutdown.

I will not vote to weaken my power to fight for WA state. I will not vote to turn YOUR taxpayer dollars into Trump & Elon's personal slush funds. I will vote NO. We should pass my short term CR, avoid a shutdown, and do our jobs.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Linda McMahon's big plan for the Department of Education is to keep up Trump and Musk's pro-billionaire agenda while our schools get robbed of the funding they need to support our country's students and teachers. I will be voting NO on her confirmation.

I want to make sure the government funding bills Congress drafts are written to help the people I represent—NOT Elon Musk’s bottom line. It's tough to write laws that reflect reality when Elon shuts government programs on & off like a two-year-old with a light switch.

Instead of attending Trump's SOTU, I'm speaking with constituents of mine like Scott, a disabled veteran who worked at VA helping to house homeless veterans. Elon fired Scott. I'll be sharing his story along with many others.

While he chokes off cancer research and fires VA researchers, the President is using your taxpayer dollars to buy crypto and enrich his personal allies. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it's not even close.

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.
