How the economy changes can be complicated, but this isn’t. Trump started a war no one asked for and sent energy costs surging. He forced tariffs that made nearly everything more expensive. You're paying more because of Trump—period.

Remember when Trump promised to "end inflation?" Well, instead, you got a President who is directly responsible for driving up inflation—all thanks to a war he didn't have to start and tariffs no one wanted.

More than 400 hospitals are at risk of closing thanks to Trump's "big, ugly bill." This will hit rural families—they'll now have to drive even farther before they can get care—if it's not too late by then. This is what happens when you prioritize billionaires & bombs over Americans.

Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country. My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.
- PM
Trump’s actions have already cost us tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, left our international credibility in shreds, and left thirteen servicemembers dead with hundreds more wounded. America is poorer, weaker, and less respected thanks to Trump’s war of choice.

Trump wants to give the Pentagon more money than it can spend while cutting programs that help American families here at home. Well Trump doesn't get to decide—Congress does. And I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

The President of the United States cannot threaten genocide. That kind of erratic behavior is catastrophically dangerous and goes against everything we stand for as Americans. Congress must put him in check before he ever pushes so close to the brink again.

“A whole civilization will die tonight," is plainly threatening genocide and war crimes. Congress MUST step in. Republicans need to join Democrats to take action. Call Congress back into session—we should vote to end this war immediately.
- PM
These are the rantings of a bloodthirsty lunatic. It is sick beyond measure to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. This is not what the American people want. It is well past time for the Republican Congress to join Democrats and put an end to this war.

American scientists and astronauts are doing incredible things! 🚀 But Trump wants to cut NASA by 23%! No way. I'm betting on American innovation—and it's worth investing in.

The President is describing war crimes. America doesn't have money for child care, but we have enough money to bomb every bridge in Iran? It's sick and wrong. I've voted to end this war, and I'll keep voting to stop it—but we can only put an end to this if Republicans join us.

Imagine how many families we could help if, instead of giving the Pentagon more money than they can even figure out what to do with like Trump wants… …we cut people’s heating bills in half and made child care affordable for every family in America.

ICYMI: Here are 3 anti-abortion attacks Republicans have launched recently. With everything going on, it can be easy for this stuff to fly under the radar—but Republicans have not let up on their extremist, anti-women crusade. WATCH ⬇️

This is a deeply unwell man on a dangerous power trip, threatening possible war crimes. This is not how the President of the United States should be speaking about sending our servicemembers into harm’s way. Republicans should join Democrats to end this war immediately.

Trump wants to build a ballroom—I want to build more affordable housing, and only one of us sits on the Appropriations Committee. His budget is going right in the trash as far as I’m concerned.

My mom used to talk about how she had to crawl towards Medicare. Forcing Americans to wait until they're 65 to get their medical procedures done is wrong. Republicans had endless chances to help Democrats bring costs down and refused. We need to fix this Republican health care crisis.

After passing the largest cuts to health care in American history—all to fund billionaire tax breaks & give ICE more money than most militaries—Trump now wants Congress to defund dozens of programs that help families so that he can send other people’s kids to fight a foreign war.
- PM
While the Trump admin kicks millions off of SNAP, the Summer EBT program I helped to establish has reached over 21 million kids nationwide. No kid in America should go hungry—it’s really that simple. I'll keep fighting tooth & nail to save SNAP and fight against child hunger.

Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.

Donald Trump might be happy to spend more money on bombs in the Middle East than on families here in America—but I am not. The only responsible thing to do with a budget this morally bankrupt is to toss it in the trash.

Great to stop by Renton Technical College to see how the federal investments I secured are helping prepare our future air and space manufacturing workforce. I will always fight for investments in education and our workforce—especially as Trump tries to demolish the Department of Education.

House Republicans continue to extend the DHS shutdown for no reason. This morning, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund everything at DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol AGAIN. The House could have passed this TODAY. Speaker Johnson—stop playing games & pass this bill ASAP.

Exciting to watch the historic NASA Artemis II launch yesterday! I had the honor of meeting these inspiring astronauts a few years ago, and I look forward to following their journey around the moon. This launch is a reminder to us all to shoot for the moon & dream big! 🚀🌙

We have never had an Attorney General as disgraceful as Pam Bondi. No one else has done more to turn DOJ into a political attack dog for a delusional & spiteful President. We need a DOJ that is actually focused on the rule of law and that works for the PEOPLE—not the President.

People typically don't like it when you raise their prices on everything from groceries to gas while billionaires and mega corporations are getting massive tax breaks.

The President wants to spend more of your taxpayer dollars on wars in the Middle East instead of on child care and health care here in the Pacific Northwest. No war with Iran. Fund child care and health care instead.

Trump's VA is cutting thousands of unfilled roles. They're trying to say it doesn't matter, but that's not what I hear from local veterans. And now we're fighting a war with NO justification and NO plan for the veterans who come home. No war with Iran. Staff the VA.

STATES have authority over our elections and voting—NOT a delusional President trying to make it harder for Americans to exercise their right to vote & have a say in the future of our country. Just like Trump, WA state votes by mail safely & successfully. This Executive Order belongs in the trash.

The 14th Amendment could not be more clear: if you are born in America, you are a U.S. citizen. Doesn't matter what Trump thinks. He can't rewrite our Constitution on his own.

I don't know how Speaker Johnson can say that with a straight face when the Big Ugly Bill slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and so many other programs working Americans rely on to get by. Their bill was billionaires first and working people last.

Growing up, there weren’t so many options for women to play sports competitively. My mom even had to play on a men’s hockey team—there was no women’s team. The amazing @seattletorrent.bsky.social players are inspiring so many young girls—and it makes such a big difference. Go Torrent!

Conversion therapy is child abuse. It should be banned nationwide—and I have a bill to do just that. I’m not going to stop fighting for a world where every person, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, can live with dignity and without fear.

Ports are the engine of our economy in WA state. So when federal law put us at a disadvantage, I pushed to change the law & deliver a solution. Today I was at the @portofseattle.bsky.social to highlight the historic federal funding I secured to support our ports, the local economy, and job growth.

You paying more at the pump is a direct result of Trump's reckless war of choice with Iran. Trump needs to end this war and actually try to live up to his promise of lower prices at home. NO war with Iran.

In Pierce County with Executive Mello to discuss funding I secured to expand Tacoma-Pierce Co. Public Health's mobile medical services. Trump tried to cut federal funding to help our states fight the addiction crisis by $1B. I stopped him. This is not the time to cut back on life-saving resources.

Trump and Republicans want more money for a war with no justification. They want more money for lawless and violent mass deportations. All paid for by cutting even more health care for American citizens. I'll do everything I can to stop them.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed funding for TSA four days ago. House Republicans refused to even vote on it. Speaker Johnson, this is on you—stop holding TSA funding HOSTAGE.

Gas prices continue to soar because of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. The American people didn’t ask for this—and most can’t afford it. NO war with Iran.
- PM
Republicans don't seem too concerned about our national deficit now that the U.S. is spending billions on Trump's war of choice with Iran. Why is it that when it comes to health care, we can't afford it—but when it comes to a war with no clear objective, we suddenly have the cash?

Republicans will talk all day long about their voter suppression bill and fake voter fraud—but they won't say a thing about how they'll actually lower your costs.

No new money for ICE and Border Patrol without reform. This isn't complicated & Democrats could not have been clearer. The Senate unanimously approved funding for TSA, our Coast Guard, and disaster relief—the House needs to pass this bill TODAY. It's time to end Trump's chaos.

BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.
