ICE broke Erik Zepeda's wrist—a special needs student in California—and he wasn't even who they were looking for. No apology, no accountability. NOTHING. I am sick and tired of ICE's cruelty and unchecked violence. VOTE.

Trump says there is no money for health care or child care but wants to spend TRILLIONS on forever wars. This is NOT what the American people need or want.
- PM
Trump pursued some of the biggest tax hikes in American history, and Republicans cheered him on. I have a bill to end Trump’s idiotic tariffs—and a Senate Democratic majority will fight to pass it.

Trump thinks there’s always money for war, but no money for child care. He wants to spend trillions on bombs and weapons, while cutting investments in housing and health care. It does not get more wrong or out of touch than that.

Republicans call Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and talk about making cuts. Democrats have plans to scrap the cap and real fixes to make sure you get YOUR money. You get to choose what happens with your voice and vote on Election Day.

Science and public health must come before politics. We need an investigation of this alarming decision, which appears to have little to no evidence or FDA experts behind it. Secretary Kennedy cannot be allowed to replace FDA's gold standard for safety and effectiveness with junk science.

Trump and Republicans kicked millions of families and kids off SNAP. A Senate Democratic majority will fight to reverse these cuts, because no one in America should go hungry.

Dolores Huerta spent her life standing up for working people and fighting for justice. Her courage and leadership helped change this country for the better. My thoughts are with her loved ones. We must carry her fight forward.

Trump may not be interested in health care, but the millions of Americans priced out of their plans or kicked off Medicaid sure are. It's time to put a stop to Trump's health care sabotage. VOTE.

For years, Republicans have been pushing to cut FDA funding. Recent outbreaks (diarrhea lettuce) prove we can’t keep cutting domestic spending to fund foreign wars. Congress MUST reject Trump’s $1.5 TRILLION war request and focus on real priorities—like keeping our food safe.

The most corrupt President in U.S. history. Trump is getting rich while working families struggle to get by. A Senate Democratic majority can finally put a check on Trump's obscene corruption. VOTE!

Wonder why beer isn't $5 anymore? Laney told me how her brewery would order tap handles and the tariffs would INCREASE mid-shipment. The tariff would be as expensive as the product itself by the time it gets to them! A Democratic majority would fight to END Trump's trade wars.

Trump's solution to affordability? Cut back on your doll purchasing budget. As if people are blowing their budgets on dolls. We need a Congress that will put an end to Trump's tariffs and actually work to LOWER prices for the American people.

Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war. VOTE!

Just outright disgusting and hateful garbage. Trump is focused on spewing this garbage instead of doing anything to make life more affordable for Americans. A total disgrace.

$4,700 more. That’s how much extra Trump’s tariffs and Trump’s war have cost the average American family. Republicans promised lower prices on day ONE. It's been 600+ days.

Trump is weaponizing America's Department of Justice to argue that elections can only be certified if Republicans win. This is historic corruption, but he doesn't get the final word. We do at the ballot box. VOTE!

Republicans think the only way to save Social Security is to cut benefits—they just talk in euphemisms. Democrats have better solutions, like finally scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Trump is literally trying to use marriage and birth rates to decide how much federal funding YOUR community might get for transit projects. He is weaponizing federal grants to wage his regressive culture war, and your commute is collateral damage.

Parents can’t go to work if they can’t find child care. Child care IS infrastructure. Let's PASS universal child care.

Cutting Medicaid doesn’t save money. It closes rural hospitals. Democrats will push to repeal Trump's $1 trillion health care cuts.

This is the most corrupt President in history. Trump is trying to extort voters—saying he won’t help veterans if this state doesn’t vote his way. We’ve already seen him illegally withhold funds from “blue” states. We can send this crook a message with our votes and our voice.

NO. Congress funds FEMA to respond to disasters that REQUIRE federal support. Trump's already politicized disaster relief—an unforgivable and unAmerican transgression that I don't plan on forgetting. He doesn't get to wave a magic wand and abolish FEMA. I'm fighting back.

Women are 50% of the population, but less than 0.1% NIH's budget is spent on menopause, and just 8% on women's health overall. You're not broken—the research is. I talked to Dr. Rachel Rubin and Dr. Kelly Casperson about why we need more menopause research and how my bipartisan bill would do that.

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!

Trump and RFK Jr. have put our public health system on life support. We can't just rebuild what they've broken; we have to build a stronger public health system and protect it from anti-science political interference going forward.

Trump promised to end inflation. Instead, the average family has paid $4,700 more under Trump.

You paid into it. You earned it. Now Republicans want to call it a "Ponzi scheme." My message? Hands off Social Security.

Trump wants to squeeze families who are already struggling with their student debt, after already raising their prices on everything from gas to health care. Absolutely not. I'll be pushing back.

The extremists in this administration are trying to keep their anti-abortion agenda hush-hush until after you vote, so we need to make sure everyone understands abortion rights are at stake right now. VOTE.

Trump and Republicans kicked millions of people off SNAP because they would rather give billionaires more money than make sure working families can put food on the table.

Families shouldn't be priced out of health insurance or have to skip the doctor or medications because of costs. It’s way past time for universal health care, and I'll keep pushing to make that a reality.

Medicare open enrollment is underway. Shop your coverage. And remember: Medicare negotiates drug prices now because Democrats fought for it. Not one Republican voted yes.

Trump started a war no one supported. It created a global energy crisis. The economy runs on fuel–when diesel and oil are more expensive, you will feel it at the pump, grocery store, almost everywhere. Trump’s illegal war is making life unaffordable.

Over the summer, wildfires devastated homes, natural habitats, communities, and so much more on the Colville Tribes' land. I met with local leaders to hear about the damage firsthand and make sure they know I have their back on the long road to recovery.

Who is safer when America forcibly detains a woman who has called this country home since she was 6, is a mom to four citizens, and is a military spouse? This is a disgrace and we need to force a change with our voice and our votes.

Everyone’s talking about AI. In Pullman, we mean Apple Innovation. 🍎 I got to celebrate WSU’s new ag research center, a project I’ve fought for in every funding bill for 20+ years. They’re tackling crop disease, using artificial intelligence for farmers, and yes, the next great apple. Go Cougs! 🐾

Public health is as important as our national defense. It needs to be trusted and grounded in science and facts. We can’t just put back what Trump and RFK Jr. broke. I'm working to build something that can’t be broken again.

This is heartbreaking. Kids are being killed in class. And it's been 13 years since the Sandy Hook shooting. It's way past time for Congress to pass gun safety reforms. My heart goes out to every family suffering with a loss tonight. Our kids deserve better.

Trump wants to create an entirely new federal agency to do the exact same work the Department of Education already does—and call it "efficiency." It's illegal without Congress. And more than 40 million student loan borrowers will pay the price.

Taxpayers fund EPA to protect their health and the environment, not to advance a political agenda against women's health care. I'm demanding answers from Trump's EPA about its new study tracking medication abortion in drinking water.

Why does everything cost more? Ask Republicans. Their tariffs. Their war with Iran. Their cuts to your health care.
