Medicare & Medicaid weren’t just policy. They were a promise.
For 60 years, Democrats have kept it.
Now Republicans are breaking it.

President Trump isn’t just raising prices on health care and everyday products hardworking families buy. Now, he wants you to pay to file taxes. Democrats created the IRS direct file program, but Trump is ending it.

Great to join the Bellevue Rotary Club to share an update on my work in Congress. Grateful for the opportunity to connect & discuss how we can keep delivering results for our region.
Heartbroken by the mass shooting in Manhattan. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, & the entire NYC community.

Businesses need certainty to grow & sustain themselves. Trump’s tariff chaos is making it hard for them to sell their products abroad or get the supplies they need to manufacture here in the U.S.
From Japan to Seattle, Ichiro became a legend, one base hit at a time. Congrats to a true Mariners icon on your Hall of Fame induction! Washington will never forget #51. ⚾💙
At yesterday’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing, I called out the truth: permanent giveaways for the wealthy & corporations, while working families get temporary scraps
Costs are rising, families are struggling, and Republicans are doubling down on the same failed agenda.
Talk about government waste… The Trump admin is destroying nearly $10M in U.S.-funded contraceptives instead of getting them to women who need them.
I’m cosponsoring a bill to stop this & ensure foreign aid reaches those it’s meant to help.

At today’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social field hearing in Las Vegas, I called out what Republicans won’t.
Tourism is down. Manufacturers are losing customers. Congress must have a say & Republicans need to show some backbone.
Republicans let the expanded Child Tax Credit expire — now they want credit for doing the bare minimum.
At today’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing, I made it clear: this bill leaves out 22 million kids. I’m fighting to make the CTC fully refundable to lift more families out of poverty.
Trump froze billions in school funding for WA schools to maintain school programs, professional development, & ESL programs. Freezing the funds prevented schools from hiring & budgeting for the upcoming school year. Rep. Strickland & I fought to get these critical dollars flowing back to classrooms

IMPORTANT SOCIAL SECURITY UPDATE
Trump is ending paper Social Security checks on Sept. 30, creating hurdles for seniors & those without internet access.
PBS, NPR, & local broadcast stations are trusted news sources that keep families informed during emergencies & natural disasters. Trump’s cuts will endanger communities & put lives at risk.
Reposted byCongresswoman Suzan DelBene
On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Marilyn Strickland explains how Republicans are breaking their promise to lower costs with a Big, Ugly Law that makes life more expensive.
Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs & slowing economic growth. Families are feeling the squeeze. We need to focus on lowering costs & supporting hardworking families, not make things worse.
