Climate change is bad for our health. Trump doesn’t want people to know that, so he’s canceling the studies (which have consistently proven that). All to sell out our communities to the highest Big Oil bidder. www.propublica.org/article/nih-...
NIH Ends Future Funding to Study the Health Effects of Climate Change
It’s unclear whether the guidance will impact active grants, but it appears to halt opportunities for future studies. One climate health expert said the directive would have a “devastating” impact on ...

I was delighted to join Seattle’s inaugural Indian Film Festival at the Museum of Pop Culture! Representation matters — on screen, in books, in leadership roles, and in government. This was a fantastic event to build more awareness of the creativity and contributions of Indian diaspora artists!

From EVs to bike lanes, Trump wants to get rid of our transportation infrastructure. His actions are destroying our planet and will make commuting less safe for bikers and pedestrians. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Trump administration takes aim at bike lanes, other ‘green’ transportation in WA
By federal order, officials in Washington state are reviewing projects that might not align with the president's goals and could be canceled.

This is a dangerous and deeply disappointing capitulation from Columbia University. If other universities follow suit, this chilling attack on free speech will only worsen. The effects on education will be severe. This is exactly how democracies unravel. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Columbia agrees to Trump demands in effort to get back federal funding
The Trump administration took away $400 million in federal funding earlier this month.

ICYMI: The Clean Air Act lets EPA regulate things like power plants to keep the air we breathe clean. Trump, Elon, and their billionaire buddies want to dismantle the EPA and let Big Oil, Big Gas, and Big Coal poison our air. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
EPA moves to ditch finding that greenhouse gases cause harm
The recommendation by Lee Zeldin, the agency's administrator, could upend existing and future regulations on climate change.

As we work to fight back against the Trump administration, it is important to remember our struggles are all intertwined. This past week, I organized a Immigrant Labor Roundtable with local leaders to strategize and chart our path forward under this administration.

This week, I met with doctors and researchers at Fred Hutch to discuss their critical work to prevent, treat, and find cures for cancer. Trump and Musk’s cuts to the NIH will devastate their labs and stop lifesaving research in its tracks. We cannot let that happen.

Trump and Elon are now going after the Department of Education. Why? Because they don’t care about public schools. They don’t care that an American education is literally the best path toward economic opportunity for our children.

Trump and Musk have taken a chainsaw to the federal workforce — causing uncertainty and financial ruin for thousands of workers. Real people, working to make our country better. These firings are baseless, and we will fight back.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 21(source)
Trump and Musk are doing everything they can — legal or not — to dismantle our government and the programs that people rely on like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Why? All to pass a tax cut for the richest billionaires in this country.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is already out of control, arresting US Citizens & violating our civil rights. Now he fired almost the entire civil rights division of the agency — putting Americans' most important protections even more at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/u...
Trump Fires Nearly the Entire Civil Rights Branch of D.H.S.
The move guts the office responsible for oversight over President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Donald Trump is plotting to give gun rights back to people who have been convicted of felonies or domestic violence.   That’s the opposite of making America safer. What happened to Republicans being the “law and order” party? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...
Trump Administration Prepares to Give Gun Rights Back to Some Convicts
After Justice Department officials sought to allow Mel Gibson to own a gun again, the administration is proposing a path for some people to have their firearms access restored.

This week, I was back in Seattle and heard from my constituents about how Trump is making them feel — outraged, horrified, and ready to fight. Here are my weekly 3 bad things and 3 good things to help you stay informed and engaged in this moment!

So Trump and Elon are now requiring seniors to go in-person for Social Security identity checks. ...but they’re also closing dozens of field offices across the country. Here’s the bottom line: they’re cutting Social Security. www.newsweek.com/social-secur...
Social Security customers forced to file in person. DOGE is closing offices
Starting March 31, benefit claimants will no longer have the option to verify their identity with the SSA over the phone.
