Cutting essential public services is not leadership—it’s cruelty.
Trump is using the Republican shutdown to fire federal workers who protect us from disease outbreaks, process our tax returns, & support special needs students, among other services.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on Americans. New data shows that U.S. families & businesses are paying for the majority of these tariffs—not foreign countries.
While Republicans refuse to speak up about this price hike on families & workers, I’m fighting to lower costs.
More than 280,000 Washingtonians will lose coverage because of the Republican health care crisis. Congress needs to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits and reverse Medicaid cuts so families have access to health care.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the resilience of Indigenous Peoples and the injustices they’ve experienced throughout history. I stand with our Native communities today and always in their continued fight for justice.
Failing to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits will spike monthly health insurance premiums. Here’s one example of what this could mean in Washington.
Innovation in action! Students from across WA-01 joined our App-A-Thon to level up their coding skills & get ready for the Congressional App Challenge. Can’t wait to see their final apps! 💻
Federal workers keep our nation safe & provide critical services like VA care & Social Security. Trump’s focus during the Republican shutdown is finding new, cruel ways to punish them.
What a game! ⚾️ Congrats to the Mariners on an incredible Game 5 win & advancing to the ALCS! Let’s keep it going. Go M’s! 💙
I sat down to answer your questions about the government shutdown & share how we can get Washington working again for the American people.

House Republicans need to stop the lies and protect health care for all Americans.
Federal workers are only getting a partial paycheck today, their last one until the Republican shutdown ends. The nearly 80,000 federal workers in WA have bills to pay & mouths to feed. They are left in uncertainty & don’t know what the future holds.

Republicans are cutting Medicaid, attacking Medicare and gutting health research.
Your health care is under attack.
House Democrats are fighting back.
My statement on the Middle East peace agreement.
As the government shutdown enters week 2, House Republicans are still on vacation. We need a bipartisan solution that reopens the government, protects your health care, & delivers for our communities.
This is heartbreaking. Our troops & their families should never be in this position.
The Speaker must call us back to ensure our military service members including the 74,000 in WA get paid next week.
If the shutdown is impacting you, please share your story at DelBene.house.gov/shareyourstory.

It’s Week 2 of the government shutdown. Republicans are still on vacation while families & federal workers pay the price. They want to cut your health care and raise costs for everyone. I’m in DC fighting to protect your coverage.
The Speaker should call us back ASAP so we can vote to pay our troops.
House Republicans are refusing to return to Washington to vote on a bipartisan bill to pay our troops. Congress has done this in previous shutdowns. Next Wednesday, service members will miss their paycheck because of the Republican shutdown.
Republicans are trying to cover up why they shut down the government. They want to take health coverage away from millions of Americans. Democrats are fighting to lower your health care bills.
