This weekend, I joined student leaders at the Seattle Public Schools’ student leadership forum. We need student voices and perspectives now more than ever, and I’m so glad these students are staying engaged in our community and beyond!
Medicare Advantage (or DisAdvantage, as I call it) isn’t Medicare — it’s private insurance run by giant corporations that only care about profits. I wrote to the Trump admin and told them if they’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with Medicare DisAdvantage.
Today — April 7 — AANHPI women finally catch up to what their white male counterparts made last year. These wage gaps are enormous and they drive income inequality. Congress must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to level the playing field.
Vaccine programs, disease surveillance, and hundreds of other essential jobs — completely gutted with a stroke of a pen. Cutting this funding and these jobs will both cost lives and put dedicated professionals out of a job. This is reckless and pointless. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Mahmoud Khalil. Rumeysa Ozturk. Yunseo Chung. Trump is going after people who are in the U.S. legally just because he disagrees with what they’re saying. That should terrify every single one of us. If he can do it to them, he can do it to you, too.
I agree with @sanders.senate.gov: the United States is complicit in Israel’s violent and destructive war on Gaza, and I’m incredibly disappointed Congress didn’t pass our measure to block offensive weapons sales to the Israeli government. www.huffpost.com/entry/bernie...
The Constitution guarantees the right to free speech and protest to legal permanent residents — even if they’re on a college campus saying something you disagree with. Donald Trump’s attempts to deport these individuals are a dangerous breach of all of our civil rights.
Trump vowed to lower costs. But since taking office, he and Republicans have done NOTHING to actually deliver on that promise for Americans. They’re too busy crashing the economy and destroying Social Security and Medicaid, all so they can give a giant tax cut to the richest 1%.
Today, I stood with workers and people from across our community to denounce Trump and Musk’s cuts to programs we rely on — which we’re feeling directly here in Seattle. These cuts are devastating for workers and people on services like Social Security and Medicare. We’re here to fight back.
BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered Trump to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant with legal status who he deported in "error" to a Salvadorian mega-prison, to the United States by Monday night. This is a big win. Now Trump must comply with the judge's order.
