Well, now that we've gotten through THAT, here's the truth: This is America and no matter what Trump wants you to believe, the power belongs to the PEOPLE. A more hopeful future for America is possible when we all speak out and stand up for what we believe in.

Trump announcing a war on fraud is like a criminal announcing a war on crime.

Trump didn’t “lift” anyone off food stamps—he kicked them off. He’s forcing millions to go hungry. By the way, you can work full time and STILL qualify for SNAP. My family needed SNAP growing up—it’s not charity, it’s an investment. Fund SNAP. Reverse the cuts.

Yeah Trump kept his promise to “drill baby drill.” He also kept his promise to sell this country out to Big Oil. Cancelling clean energy projects for NO reason and SPIKING your electricity costs. Utility bills are way UP because of this grifter President.

Trump is making life worse and more expensive for the American people, defying Congress at every turn, and spitting in the face of the law—I won’t be sitting through his SOTU. But you can bet, I’ll be listening—I’ll be ready to respond to the lies and set the record straight.

I won’t dignify Trump’s lies by sitting through his State of the Union. Instead, I’m 🚨LIVE 🚨right now, delivering my own address to WA state, calling out his failures and sharing a more hopeful vision for our country's future. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

These are serious allegations and the truth must come out. The American people deserve nothing less than transparency and accountability. The DOJ must do its job and release the FULL files.

Tonight, Trump is going to give his State of the Union—but that’s not what he’ll focus on. He is going to talk about his favorite subject—himself. You won't find me there. But I WILL be addressing WA state directly: laying out exactly how Trump has failed us. Watch.

The Trump administration is purposely ripping away the ability for pregnant children to get the health care they need. Think about that—CHILDREN. Many who are victims of rape. This is sick and the American people deserve answers.

Four years ago, Putin launched a deadly, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine, and the continued horror inflicted on the Ukrainian people is barbaric. I will keep working to ensure Ukraine has the support needed to defend itself and win back peace and security.

Global Entry uses automated kiosks to save staff capacity & expedite processing. Is Kristi Noem forcing employees to unplug kiosks & MANUALLY process passengers? Truly as dumb as it gets. Instead of punishing travelers, Trump should focus on negotiating urgent ICE reforms.

How much did our grifter FBI Director spend on travel, security, and accommodations to party in Italy on the taxpayer dime? Waste, fraud, and abuse—the call was always coming from inside the house.

Tomorrow, Trump is going to ramble & lie to the country. I'm not dignifying that, so I'm NOT attending SOTU. But I'll be addressing WA state myself—TOMORROW at 3:15 pm PST. Health care is way too expensive. ICE is out of control. We can chart a better way forward. Tune in.

Took no time for Trump to strap the rest of us back onto the Tariff rollercoaster: higher prices for everyone in the meantime. Still, he owes you a refund for his illegal tariffs, and Republicans in Congress can help us put an end to these tariffs any day.

Republicans literally cut Medicaid so that giant corporations could pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter. That’s not fair, and it’s not fiscally responsible either. Our taxpayer dollars SHOULD be going toward things like health care—not tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump thought he could quietly put in place a near-total abortion ban for our veterans—but not on my watch. The VA rule is a betrayal of women who have put their lives on the line for our country. I'm demanding the VA reverse course ASAP. plus.cq.com/doc/news-840...

High health care costs are hurting our small businesses. Republicans control Congress—if they wanted to make your health care more affordable, they could. They just don't want to.

Trump deported a VETERAN. You heard that right. ICE & CBP are out of control–exiling the very men who fought for our freedom and risked their lives for our country.

Kristi Noem continues to blow YOUR taxpayer dollars to jet around in luxury. And she's lying about it. She wants us to believe *this* private jet is going to be used for deportations? Come on.

It took practically no time at all for Trump to double down on his idiotic tariff first agenda: meaning higher prices for everyone. All so he can make "deals" that help out his billionaire buddies & hurt small businesses. Enough. Republicans in Congress can join us to stop this.

No doubt the President will throw an online tantrum about this shortly, but small businesses everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. Trump's erratic tariff regime did real damage, pushed so many to the brink of closure, and drove up prices for everyone. Good riddance.

This is not something that can be swept under the rug. The American people deserve answers about these serious accusations against the President. Transparency and the accountability are the bare minimum.

This has been the theme of the Trump administration: lie about how ineffective or corrupt something is, break it, then scramble to put the pieces back together at huge expense to the American taxpayer. Fraud, waste, and abuse: it’s always projection with these crooks.

Apparently, if some right-wing YouTube account posts a video about fraud, that means the Trump administration will jump to attention and block child care funding for an ENTIRE state. This is NOT accountability or oversight—it's blind accusations and a witch hunt.

President Trump is a disgrace. He's easily the most corrupt President in American history by a long shot. I'm not attending his State of the Union to listen to him ramble and lie. Instead, I'll be sharing the ways he's hurting hardworking Americans.

House Republicans wanted to cut funding for public transit by 98%! I stood in the way and STOPPED them. I was at Community Transit today to talk about new funding I secured for the Swift Gold Line bus rapid transit project. People want MORE public transit—let's keep building it! 🚌🚌🚌

Last year, I was in Snohomish County as Trump tried to block critical homelessness grants & pushed major funding cuts. This year, I'm BACK in Everett, and I actually INCREASED funding for key homelessness programs, and I secured NEW guardrails to make sure that money gets out.

It sounds like a lot of people had to smack some sense into Prasad & RFK Jr. to stop them from upending vaccine approval with NO basis in science. But serious damage has been done. Who's going to invest in new vaccines if a conspiracy theorist can block even a review on a whim?

I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration. Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.

19,000 fewer people signed up for health care on Washington's marketplace this year—with thousands more seeing their premiums skyrocket. This is a direct result of Republicans CHOOSING to let health care costs increase so they could fund tax breaks for their billionaire friends.

Trump wanted to slash housing funding and kick millions of families out of their homes. I said absolutely NOT and actually INCREASED funding for housing. Today I visited Little Saigon Low Income Housing Institute to discuss how we can keep building more affordable housing and bring costs DOWN.

We need to rein in ICE and CBP. We need to call out the avalanche of lies. And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government. The American people are demanding Congress meet this moment.

I’m relieved Wilmer has been released but the fact is there are countless others who have been brutally and needlessly detained by DHS whose stories we don’t know. I won’t abide by a government that can inflict this kind of terror on American citizens and peaceful residents with impunity.

Black history is a core part of American history—you cannot have one without the other. While we celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black Americans this month, we also have to be clear-eyed about the hard work ahead to truly make our country fair and equal for all.

Vaccines are safe & effective—and the fact that our nation's top health official won't say that is ludicrous. These numbers are a direct result of RFK Jr. & his anti-vax conspiracy theories, and it's putting Americans' health at risk.

Trump still saying he won the 2020 election is more than just a deranged old guy with a bruised ego yelling about how he didn’t actually lose. Trump is the President, and what he says matters. He is trying to normalize election denial, and we cannot let that happen.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants. And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

The Trump administration wasn't just blindly zeroing out spreadsheets of foreign aid money—they were upending decades of critical, lifesaving work abroad with life and death consequences.

From trying to coverup the Epstein files to abandoning workers being harassed at work, Trump is using the federal government to protect abusers. @pressley.house.gov & I are fighting back with our Be HEARD Act—legislation to protect workers from harassment & discrimination.

So appreciated being able to hear from everyone at @seattlechildrens.org, UW, and @fredhutch.org today. The research that NIH funds here & across the country delivers real breakthroughs, yes. But also hope for patients and kids like Camden. I'll always fight to protect funding for that hope.

Instead of cutting cancer and Alzheimer’s research by nearly half like Trump wanted—I secured a more than $415 million increase to fund NIH and lifesaving medical research. I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one and that's exactly what I did.
