Trump calls his $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6 cop beaters & his wealthy donors ‘a beautiful thing.’ He clearly isn’t going to let it go on his own. If Republicans actually wanted to stop this blatant corruption, they’d vote with Democrats to permanently block it.

Great to celebrate the grand opening of Kirkland Heights! Millions of Americans are struggling to afford rent. That’s why I’m a strong advocate for building more affordable housing. Families deserve to be able to live, work, & build their lives in their communities.

According to a new report, consumer sentiment is at all-time low. Americans aren’t spending more because of a strong economy. They’re spending more because of Trump’s failed policies, which have sent prices skyrocketing.

Honored to join Mill Creek for their annual Memorial Day ceremony to remember the brave servicemembers who gave their lives for our country.

Let’s be clear - Republicans have done nothing to lower costs for families.  Instead, their megabill cut health care, slashed food assistance, & refused to curtail Trump’s reckless economic policies. Families are paying more as a result of their policies.

Joined @momsrising.org to talk about how Republican cuts to health care & food assistance are hurting families &  will actually cost our communities more long term.

When asked about skyrocketing gas prices, Trump called your pain at the pump ‘peanuts.’ Washingtonians are paying nearly $6 per gallon of gas because of his war in Iran.

Yet another example of Trump's corruption. Trump had his own justice department create a $1.8 billion slush fund with your tax dollars to pay close allies & the violent January 6 rioters.

Over 40,000 Washingtonians have lost their health coverage because Republicans refused to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. Families are facing soaring insurance premiums – sometimes triple what they paid last year – costs they can no longer afford.

Americans can’t afford basic needs like groceries, gas, & health care. The White House’s response is to give people who assaulted the Capitol on January 6 a $1.8 billion dollar payout.

The Republican budget proposal reveals their true priorities. Instead of lowering costs for families, they want to waste taxpayer money on Trump’s ballroom & fund ICE without reforms.

Trump is focused on making wealthy CEOs richer & isn’t thinking about you, the ‘little man.’

Remember when the White House said you wouldn’t pay for Trump’s gilded ballroom? They lied. The president is now demanding $1 billion in your tax dollars for this absurd vanity project.

The Trump administration is letting AI delay & deny health care for seniors. Washingtonians are suffering the consequences. I’m fighting to repeal this program so seniors can quickly get the care they need.

Millions of families are racking up credit card debt to cover skyrocketing costs, but the White House doesn’t seem to care.

BREAKING: Trump’s war with Iran is making life more expensive for Americans, driving up the price of gas, groceries, & other everyday goods.

The war with Iran continues to raise fuel costs, making it more expensive for local business owners like Eric to transport their products.

This week I nominated 20 projects for federal funding that will strengthen our community by: 🛣️Improving roads & trails 💧Building more water infrastructure 🦺Investing in public safety

Republicans released their budget proposal this week, & it does absolutely nothing to make your life more affordable. Instead, it writes a blank to ICE & wastes taxpayer money on Trump’s ballroom.

Great to tour Lumen Field in preparation for the World Cup!! Can’t wait to welcome everyone from around the world to our beautiful region 🏆⚽

Tomorrow is the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive! To participate, leave a bag of nonperishable goods outside your mailbox. This is a great way to support our community!

Tariffs & rising fuel costs are hitting small businesses & farmers the hardest. I spoke with Eric, a business owner & farmer in our community, about the impact.

Visited Seattle Children’s Bellevue Clinic & Surgery Center to hear from staff & CEO Dr. Longhurst about the impact of Republican health care cuts in our community.

Great to join Centro Cultural Mexicano over the weekend for their annual Cinco de Mayo Celebration in Redmond!

Republicans passed a budget in the middle of the night to give another $70 billion to ICE. This does nothing to lower costs or keep our communities safe.

U.S. citizens deserve real protections from warrantless government surveillance. Here’s why I voted against extending FISA.

The Trump administration is adding more red tape to our health care system by implementing an AI program that delays & denies care for seniors. The American people deserve programs that make health care more accessible, not less.

Great to gather with young artists in our community & celebrate the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to Tina Zhao, this year’s winner!!

Trump’s tariffs are raising costs for families across the country. Washington’s economy depends on trade. That means our communities are feeling the pain more than most. I pressed Trade Ambassador Greer on these harmful policies.

Trump’s war in Iran means that Washingtonians are being forced to pay $1 more per gallon of gas. The president’s own Energy Secretary said it may take a year for gas prices to go back to pre-war levels.

UPDATE: Joanne finally received her procedure yesterday after waiting in pain for 6 weeks for no reason. It shouldn’t take a Member of Congress highlighting your case to get it approved. Seniors have earned their Medicare benefits. Companies using AI shouldn’t stand in their way.

Great to stop by Farine, one of our great local cafes, to try my hand at latte making & connect with constituents.

I’ve long been concerned about the federal government’s warrantless surveillance program & collection of Americans’ data. Congress needs to reform FISA & protect your privacy.

Trump promised he’s “not going to touch” Medicare but HHS Secretary Kennedy approved a program to use AI to deny medical care & treatments for seniors. I pressed RFK on this at today’s Ways & Means hearing.

Families are paying more for gas across the country, & the Trump administration does not care what this war is costing you. Instead, they’re focused on profits for oil companies.

Great to volunteer with Sound Generations’ Meals on Wheels! This program is vital in supporting seniors in our community & ensuring they have access to nutritious food.

Trump’s war in Iran is hurting Washingtonians. Across our community, gas now costs families over $5 per gallon.

Families are struggling with high prices in WA & across the country. Food, housing, health care, & energy costs have all gone up under Trump. Instead of lowering costs, Republicans in Congress continue to rubber stamp the president’s agenda.

Meryl Streep is right. The SAVE America Act would make it harder for women to vote, requiring more paperwork for married women & others who changed their name. Women deserve to have their voices heard at the ballot box.

Small businesses are paying the price for tariffs. I held a roundtable with local Shopify merchants in Bellevue to learn how these policies are impacting them.

Trump says the federal government doesn’t have any money to fund child care & health care. But he has no problem cutting those programs to fund another war in the Middle East.

Met with local merchants today at Shopify's West Coast port in Bellevue to discuss how tariffs are hurting small businesses & how we make sure smaller shops can leverage AI to grow their businesses.

I visited the Northwest ICE Detention Center in Tacoma to exercise my Congressional oversight duty. Lawmakers must have access to these facilities to ask questions & get answers from ICE & GEO, the private company that operates the facility.
