No one elected Elon Musk to oversee foreign policy. Yet he was able to unilaterally slow down Starlink in Ukraine — because his enormous wealth gave him enormous power. Now he’s using that enormous wealth to buy another election and amass even more power. See the problem here?

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!

Trump: "Sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when. So I am going to do something which I think people will like - I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. I'll determine whether the person is deserving ... there's nothing in this for me"

No billionaire, especially one that gets massive contracts from our government, should have the power to unilaterally decide to shut down communications and weapons during a war of critical importance to the US and Ukraine. We must investigate this and hold Musk accountable.

Cutting Medicaid doesn’t save money. It closes rural hospitals. Democrats will push to repeal Trump's $1 trillion health care cuts.

Trump's out-of-control DHS agents aren't going after the "worst of the worst" like they claim—they're arresting and detaining CITIZENS. More than 500 of them! Republicans in Congress are doing nothing to hold Trump accountable for these constitutional violations—VOTE!

RFK Jr. should be FIRED or RESIGN immediately. PREDICTABLY: He’s STILL rubbing elbows with anti-vaxxers and lifting the same conspiracy theories that are getting kids killed.

Trump's nominee to lead the FDA refused to say whether she thinks mifepristone—which has been approved by the FDA for DECADES—is safe. Medication abortion is the most common way women access abortion in America. Every Senator must vote NO.

ICE agents used excessive force to detain Luis Ochoa, an American citizen and teenager, on his way to enlist in the Marines. When his mom spoke out, they DEPORTED her. We cannot get numb to these sick fear tactics. Use your voice & your vote to force a CHANGE!

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

Should America spend YOUR taxpayer dollars on foreign wars no one supports or child care here at home? That's exactly what I asked folks in Port Townsend, and the answer was unanimous. Fund child care NOT war.

If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it. America can meet the moment, but the clock is ticking. Congress needs to step up and move NOW to protect American lives and safeguard our future.

I heard from fishermen and port officials in Bellingham who said their gear costs more: nets, lines, parts, and DIESEL. And relationships with Canada—their buyers and ports—are a LOT more difficult in the middle of Trump's trade war.  END Trump's tariffs. END Trump's war with Iran.

Science and research matter. I stopped by PNNL's new Bench to Bay Lab in Sequim, which I secured funding for, to learn about its research on marine environments and radioactive materials at sea.

I was on the Olympic Peninsula to make it absolutely clear: public lands should stay in public hands! Trump wants to keep cutting funding for our Forest Service and National Parks, and I won't let him.

We need a constitutional amendment that gives the people the power to remove a sitting president if Congress refuses to do the job. This is getting ridiculous.

Brian Morales, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen, was riding in a vehicle that was stopped by police in April. After the police called ICE, Brian explained to immigration officials that he is a U.S. citizen, born in Colorado, and even offered to show his birth certificate. (1/3)

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Red card holders are Forest Service staff with training and experience to help fight wildfires outside of their full-time jobs. They are the backbone of any wildfire response.  Trump pushed out and fired THOUSANDS of them. Save the Forest Service. Save our forests.

Trump’s senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson—no business can plan around Trump’s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up. Republicans are afraid to stand up to Trump, but Democrats aren't. Stop Trump's tariffs NOW!

In July, ICE kidnapped 700 people in Washington State. They are taking people with no criminal records at grocery stores, gas stations, and on their way to pick up their kids at school. This is cruel, plain and simple. ICE must be dismantled.
