Happy Korean American Day! Today, we honor Korean Americans who have enriched our communities & strengthened our nation since the arrival of the first Korean immigrants 122 years ago. 한인계 미국인의 날을 기념합니다! 122년 전 최초의 한인계 이민자들이 미국으로 도착한 이후론 저희의 커뮤니티와 사회를 풍요롭게 만들었습니다. 오늘, 우리의 국가를 강화해 온 한인 미국인들을 축하합니다.

Republicans want to gut programs that help families afford health care & put food on the table so they can fund tax cuts for the wealthy & well connected. Families shouldn’t have to suffer so billionaires can pay less in taxes.

Medicaid, ACA, climate measures on GOP chopping block

The menu of potential spending offsets has been circulated by House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington.

Thank you to these brave WA firefighters & first responders who are assisting California’s response to these deadly fires. I am keeping Los Angeles & all those affected in my prayers.

Thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, Monroe & Everett are getting over $18 million to improve railroad & roadway crossings. These critical upgrades will help improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, & rail workers.

Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, medical debt will no longer be included on credit reports.

Thinking of everyone affected by the wildfires in California & hoping for their safety. I am grateful for the round-the-clock efforts of emergency responders & firefighters.

I have long called for a ban on drilling off the coast of WA so we can better protect our environment for generations to come. I commend President Biden for taking this historic step. www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2025/...

President Biden poised to protect hundreds of millions of aquatic lands from oil drilling and create new national monuments - NPI's Cascadia Advocate

A federal law dating back to the 1950s called the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act makes it straightforward for Biden to prohibit oil drilling across a wide swath of American waters. Because the law ...

The new $2,000 cap on Medicare patients’ out-of-pocket prescription drug costs will save Washington seniors over $400 on average this year at the pharmacy counter. This cost-saving benefit was a key piece of Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

Prescription costs now capped at $2k a year for seniors on Medicare Part D

Congress is back! Excited to get to work & deliver results for Washington communities.

I secured protections for WA’s hydrogen industry in regulations issued today by the Biden admin. These changes will help ensure hydrogen projects in WA continue to move forward, creating good-paying jobs & clean energy to power our economy.

This a devastating loss. We must do more to protect these PNW icons. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

My statement on the passing of President Jimmy Carter:

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene@repdelbene.bsky.socialDec 28(source)

Thrilled to announce a nearly $50 million federal investment to plan a high-speed rail line in the PNW, better-connecting communities from British Columbia & Portland to the Puget Sound region. These federal resources I helped secure will move us closer to faster & greener transportation.

Portland-Seattle-Vancouver high-speed rail idea lands $49.7 million federal grant

The proposed passenger rail line would link Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, BC. The current Amtrak Cascades line follows a similar route but is limited to 79 mph.
