We know that ICE lies—because they lie constantly. I am DEMANDING that ICE release all of the footage related to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's killing. There needs to be an independent investigation immediately.

Trump says we can’t afford child care. The truth is we can’t afford to IGNORE child care. Let’s make child care affordable for EVERY working family in America.

Trump could not care less about lowering costs for working families. Don't just take my word for it — hear it right from the horse's mouth.

A man with NO criminal history was shot and killed by ICE. As far as I'm concerned, Trump's DHS Secretary should get hauled in front of Congress to answer for every shooting. We need a Congressional majority that will push for real answers and accountability. This cannot stand.

Millions of Americans have lost health care coverage and food assistance while Trump profits off the American Presidency. The most corrupt President in American history enabled by a cowardly Republican Congress. It's time for change.

What a total failure of leadership. Gas prices are surging again and apparently the peace deal is in tatters and our servicemembers are still in harm's way to fight a war the American people do NOT support. Every Republican who voted to continue this war owns this failure.

A doctor providing reproductive health care, like abortion, in a state where it's legal should absolutely not fear prosecution from out-of-state anti-abortion extremists. It's simple, and I reintroduced my bill to make that law.

Trump has been coming after child care since Day 1. I've been fighting back every step along the way–because in the richest country in the world, every family in America should be able to afford quality child care.

$3,600. That's how much EXTRA the average family in Washington state had to pay since Trump took office because of his reckless and stupid policies.

Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year. That's outrageous. We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.

As we celebrate America 250—and there’s a LOT to celebrate—remember: it IS patriotic to stand up for our freedoms and our values. You better believe I’m proud to be an American. Here’s to another 250 years! 🎉🇺🇸

RFK Jr. is actively censoring scientific research to try and rewrite reality. The COVID vaccine reduced the risk of hospitalizations. That's a FACT. It's supported by SCIENCE. THIS is why it is so dangerous for a conspiracy theorist to be leading our nation's health.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is working just as they planned: MILLIONS of Americans can't afford health insurance and were kicked off food stamps. Billionaires are getting richer while working families struggle to get by. It's a disgrace.

When Trump said "no one gives a **** about housing," he meant that *HE* didn't. Our billionaire ex-slumlord of a President wants to slash billions for housing. I won't let him and I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

This is an absolutely historic level of corruption and it should be utterly disqualifying that this Republican Congress won't lift a finger to stop this crook of a President.

Seniors on Medicare are being forced to confront ridiculous red tape to get the procedures they need. AI should NOT be deciding if you get health care. I have a bill to make sure it doesn’t.

Trump promised again and again his ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime, and now he's stealing $400 million of your tax dollars. That's illegal. Congress needs answers.

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it. Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

The biggest form of theft in America? Corporate wage theft. Workers are robbed of an estimated $50 BILLION EVERY YEAR! And Trump's answer has been to give the green light for employers to steal from workers—so I've got a bill to make sure workers get the pay they've earned.

Inflation has surged to its highest level in years. Thanks to Trump's tariffs and war. This President is intentionally making life harder and more expensive for Americans. All while spending your taxpayer dollars on vanity projects and war.

Trump wants the Postal Service to REFUSE to mail ballots if states don't bow down to Trump and hand over their voter rolls. Insane and unconstitutional. That's exactly why a federal judge just BLOCKED Trump's EO attacking vote by mail. I’ll keep fighting to protect our democracy. 🇺🇸

Does Donald Trump hate nurses? Sure feels like it since he made sure nursing is no longer categorized as a “professional degree.” That makes it so nurses have LESS access to federal student aid. I'm voting to OVERTURN this asinine policy.

Far-right Republicans and anti-abortion activists aren't even trying to HIDE their extremism—they want to ARREST women for getting an abortion. This is beyond absurd and cruel, and America's pro-choice majority MUST understand what's at stake.

I will not let Republicans off the hook for the pain they have caused and the chaos they have unleashed by overturning Roe v. Wade. You voted to confirm Trump’s SCOTUS nominees? You own this chaos and suffering.

Texas’s abortion ban forced Samantha to carry a very wanted, but non-viable pregnancy to term–denying her the health care she needed and putting her life in danger. This is the reality Republicans created.

Every single Senate Republican helped enable the new and horrifying reality women face under Dobbs. They don’t just want women to stay pregnant—they want them to stay silent. But not on my watch. I will hold a burning spotlight on what Republicans have done EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Republicans made a CHOICE. They passed a law to rip away health care from millions. They REFUSED to save the ACA tax credits. All while they showered billionaires & giant corporations with TRILLIONS in tax cuts. Now more than 5 million Americans have lost health care.

The unhinged and insane conspiracy theory that medication abortion is a threat to our waterways is no longer just a fringe right fever dream—it's now being pushed by Republican leaders. Let's be clear: Mifepristone is safe and effective.
