85% of the US beef market is controlled by 4 corporations. This consolidation boosts the profits of these corporate giants at the expense of independent farmers and consumers. Our Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act would break up these monopolies and lower costs. www.beefmagazine.com/policy/house-introduc...Mostrar mais

I was honored to speak at Pacific Northwest Climate Week — the first-ever cross-region climate week of its kind in North America. It was great to come together with so many leaders, researchers, and advocates to chart the path forward to protect and prioritize our climate.

178 years ago, activists convened for the Seneca Falls Convention. Since then, so much progress has been made, especially for women of color who were originally excluded from the suffrage movement. Today, we renew the call to advance the Equal Rights Amendment.

House progressives lead the charge to support this week’s amendment to cut off aid to the Israeli government. The United States must stop our complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. This is one of the biggest moral fights of our time.

I was so proud to secure $5 million for the Thunderbird Treatment Center, a 92-bed facility that will be a lifeline to so many people. This is a one-of-a-kind place, and one that I hope communities across the country can learn from. www.vashonbeachcomber.com/2026/07/14/heali...Mostrar mais

Medicare for All would a save taxpayers money, it would mean that a diagnosis doesn’t mean a lifetime of debt, and it would be a major cut to corporate insurers profits. I wonder which of those things the corporate backed WaPo editorial board has an issue with? t.co/StCPYtgmafMostrar mais

I’m leading nearly the entire House Democratic caucus in demanding accountability for the recent ICE killings. Independent investigations. No deporting witnesses. Answers about body cameras and training.

Orlin should still be alive today. In his memory, we must demand that this never happen again, and ensure that the children of immigrants and immigrant families are protected and kept together. komonews.com/news/local/washington-congres...Mostrar mais

I have met with dissidents, the president, and people from across the political spectrum in Cuba. Everyone agrees that the collective punishment of the Cuban people is wrong. The US must lift the embargo, allow fuel into Cuba, and build a relationship that benefits all of us.

This is absolutely horrible news. My heart is with the loved ones of these servicemembers. It is time to end this illegal, unconstitutional war of choice to get US servicemembers out of harms way. apnews.com/article/iran-us-hormuz-strait-w...Mostrar mais

Trump’s assistant secretary who oversees energy and business affairs between the US and other countries could not answer any of my questions about the conditions that the Cuban people are facing because of the US’s cruel policies. End the blockade now.

ICE is employing people who have no business being in any kind of enforcement role. But we need more than background checks and more training, we need to overhaul the entire immigration enforcement system.

We are not going to see any real changes to immigration enforcement under this administration or Republicans. It is up to all of us to fight for accountability and demand a stop to the chaos and cruelty.

We must stop treating all immigrants like criminals. Let’s instead build a humane immigration system that recognizes the value of immigrants to America.

The majority of House Democrats voted to stop US taxpayer dollars from going to the Israeli government this week. While we still have work to do, this is a huge step forward, and it is thanks to the grassroots movement across this country.

In the wake of the killings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero, and as ICE ramps up enforcement in the Puget Sound area, I’m standing with local immigration leaders to denounce increased enforcement and to share our work to protect immigrants.

Trump’s undersecretary who oversees AI exports could not answer my questions about Big Tech’s influence. The government must have vigorous export controls and a well-established interagency process that is independent from the wishes of corporate CEOs.

If it wasn’t so serious, Hegseth’s new plan to give testosterone to service members would be laughable. Here are 3 reasons why it’s absurd.

Corporate interests are raising meat prices for consumers and putting family farms out of business. Today, I’m introducing a bill with @RepDeluzio and @RepPatRyanNY to give independent farmers a fair shot and work to drive down grocery prices for families.

This is more insane corruption from Trump. www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/business/truth-soci...

Trump and Republicans are stealing from the American people to fund their illegal, forever wars. I introduced an amendment to block any more Republican cuts or barriers to enrolling in Medicaid. Of course, every single Republican voted against it.

Republicans on the House Budget Committee voted to give another $73 BILLION to the Department of Defense. They are prioritizing an illegal war over lowering costs for families or reversing healthcare cuts.

Just hours after being sworn in, Trump fired the U.S. attorney in Seattle. This is just another attempt to appoint extreme loyalists rather than actually qualified people. It’s unlawful and makes a mockery of our justice system. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics...Mostrar mais

The Senate must refuse to confirm Todd Blanche. He is still acting like Trump’s personal attorney, not the attorney general for the people of the United States.

DHS has a pattern of making unsubstantiated claims across numerous shootings that are later contradicted by evidence and witnesses.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Joan Sebestian Guerrero. Renee Good. Alex Pretti. Marimar Martinez. Julio Sosa-Celis. 6 fatal shootings after Republicans supercharged and enabled Trump’s immigration militia.

Trans people have always and will always exist. Gender-affirming care is incredibly important. It should be a decision between individuals, families, and doctors — not the government.

The deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero raise serious questions and are creating enormous fear in our communities. There must be independent investigations and ICE must halt removal proceedings against all witnesses. I’m proud to be leading nearly 200 M…Mostrar mais

The U.S. has a moral obligation to halt all weapons sales to the Israeli government. We cannot be complicit in genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and the collective punishment of millions of civilians. Enough is enough. I will be a YES on the Massie Amendment today.

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

Today, Todd Blanche is before the Senate to be confirmed for Attorney General. I’m standing with the Epstein survivors who are calling out Blanche's involvement in the release of their private information. I urge the Senate to vote NO on his confirmation.

How are you supposed to know that unmarked vehicles with people in masks and no identification are ICE and CBP? The tactics that are being used are that of a militia, not a government agency. They must be stopped.

Republicans supercharged ICE with $210 BILLION. And what we’re seeing now is the result — two men killed. If ICE can do it to them, they can do this to any of us.

Higher prices. Fewer movies and TV shows. More corporate control. These are the consequences of the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger. Good to see 12 states stepping up to challenge this consolidation. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/07/13...Mostrar mais

I met with Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi after I questioned her in the Judiciary Committee. It was clear that he was involved with the botched release of the Epstein files. During tomorrow’s confirmation hearing, the Senate must demand accountability for survivors.

Under Trump, Bondi, and Todd Blanche, the Department of Justice failed to redact the personal information of survivors in the Epstein files. Today, I introduced the REDACT Act with Senator Booker to allow survivors to sue for their right to privacy and receive compensation.

You have to watch this powerful video from Epstein survivors on Todd Blanche’s nomination to be Attorney General. Their message is loud and clear: The Senate must vote NO.

We cannot let the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero go without accountability. I am calling for immediate independent investigations, NO deporting key witnesses, and not another dime for ICE and CBP. This cannot be our America.

In the richest country in the world, no one should be without housing and health care. And still, Trump is stripping resources that keep people housed. Thank you to AG Brown and our local leaders for standing up to this administration’s cruelty. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless...Mostrar mais

Get your facts straight and stop putting out racist posts. I'm an American citizen. Period.

We need to redefine what it means to be patriotic.

Democrats need to do more than just oppose Trump and obsess over polling. We need to fight for humane immigration reform, stand up to AIPAC, and get big money out of politics.

I am aware of a fatal ICE involved shooting this morning in Maine and am working to get more information. As we await more details, my heart is with the community. wgme.com/news/local/ice-involved-shooting-...

Disband ICE. Melt ICE. However you want to say it. There’s no reason for ICE to exist as it exists.

ICE has a pattern of lying. It is disgusting and cruel. We will not stop fighting for accountability for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and everyone who has suffered at the hands of ICE’s violence.

Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has deported 10,000 children every month. He isn’t going after the “worst of the worst” – he’s targeting innocent kids.

Strawberries, ground beef, potato salad – all summer staples, all up 20% – nearly 5x the rate of inflation. American families can’t afford to have a BBQ this summer, let alone cover groceries for the week. Meanwhile, Trump is wasting billions on war & vanity projects – doing not…Mostrar mais
