On April 1st, Speaker Johnson vowed to fund DHS "in the coming days." Must have been an April Fools’ joke because INSTEAD, Johnson has extended the shutdown for FOUR WEEKS and counting. So if Speaker Johnson is looking for someone to blame for the shutdown, get him a mirror.

After years of wondering and people asking, "When is light rail going to come to Bellevue?" We have our answer: about every 8 minutes! 🎉🚈 You can now ride the world's first train on a floating bridge, and that is pretty darn cool.

Linda McMahon fired half the staff at the Office for Civil Rights—the people who handle cases of sexual harassment & assault against students. Know how many cases have been resolved since then? Neither did she. But you'd think the Secretary of Education could count to ZERO.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

RFK Jr. has repeatedly lied to our Senate committee and broken promises he made under oath. So, I entered some articles into the record that my colleagues should read. Like, “GOP Senator Refuses to Face Reality About RFK Jr. After Being ‘Lied’ To.”

Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't solving problems—it's creating them by making YOU shell out for IDs and documents like a birth certificate or passport. They want to make voting more expensive—and Democrats won't let them.

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question. What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade? The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

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.

Democrats tried to fund: ➡️TSA ➡️Cyber defense ➡️Coast Guard ➡️FEMA ➡️Everything at DHS but ICE & Border Patrol Republicans blocked every single bill. Why? They want to give ICE & CBP more money without basic reforms. Not on my watch.

Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget. It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

Groceries, diesel prices with his reckless Iran conflict, and we are the ones stuck with the bill. We’re literally paying for a war of choice—Trump’s choice. All while he throws away taxpayer dollars on vanity projects and grift! 💸 #WeCantAffordTrump

RP • @nathancjun They’re slowly starting to realize what’s happening.

Trump and Noem took resources away from critical DHS programs to boost ICE’s terror in our communities. At House Democrats' Minnesota hearing, I spoke with Mendota Heights Police Chief Kelly McCarthy on how this was never about safety.

The myth of Christian genocide is so classic and so false. This is the classic example of using culture wars to incite real wars to increase popularity and military funding. Do not be fooled.
