After Trump and Elon Musk’s breakup, Republicans are in a tough spot. If they vote against the budget bill, Trump will come after them. If they vote for it, Elon will fund a primary challenger. Guess that’s karma for trying to kick 16 million Americans off health care. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Last week, I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Northwest Detention Center. I found people who never should have been detained and individuals not being told what their rights are. This is not what the American people want from our immigration system.

The Constitution is clear — EVERYONE gets due process, not just citizens. And when an authoritarian like Trump erodes the due process rights of one group, it hurts all of us. We must stand up and fight for all of our rights.

How many more American-made bombs must we watch hit hospitals, schools, and shelters? How many more children must we watch burn in flames? Trump and Netanyahu’s destruction of Gaza has to end. The U.S. must stop sending the Israeli government offensive weapons.

For two weeks, the Trump administration has been holding immigrants IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER on a military base in Djibouti. The admin ignored a court order and gave these individuals zero due process. It's lawless and authoritarian.

Cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting, DHS and ICE overreach, DOGE cuts get blocked, and restored climate data. Here are 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know this week to keep up your resistance!

Since taking office in January, Trump has shown nothing but contempt for the Constitution — violating our rights and ignoring court orders. Republicans don’t care, so I’m starting a series of shadow hearings to conduct oversight and expose these abuses.

HAPPENING NOW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight over Trump’s kidnapping and disappearance of immigrants, then I will. I’m leading a shadow hearing with my House Democratic colleagues on his lawless third country disappearances.

For over a year and a half, the Israeli government has repeatedly used weapons supplied by America to break U.S. and international humanitarian law. 54,000 Gazans are dead. Half a million are on the brink of famine. We must pass the Block the Bombs Act and save lives.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk getting into a messy, public fight because of their giant egos is really embarrassing. But you know what the craziest thing about it is? Republicans still want to rip health care away from 16 million Americans so the rich can get a tax break.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 5(source)
Republicans are kicking 16 MILLION PEOPLE off of health care and cutting $300 billion from food assistance programs — all so billionaires can get a big tax break and buy another yacht. They’re betraying the American people — for generations to come.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJun 5(source)
Literally everything is getting more expensive — in Seattle and across the country — and will only continue to get worse with Trump’s big, bad betrayal bill. We need to be investing in working families, not selling them out for tax cuts for billionaires. www.seattletimes.com/business/wa-...
Over one quarter of WA households fall into a precarious kind of financial limbo, report finds
Many households that don't qualify for social assistance programs struggle to make ends meet. They contend with high costs of living and may go without necessities.
