In just the last four years, FEMA has provided more than 13 million gallons of water, over 31 million meals, and $12 billion to disaster survivors. Now Trump is planning to dismantle FEMA, leaving you to fend for yourself after a flood, hurricane, or tornado strikes.

A MASSIVE victory for gun violence prevention: SCOTUS upholds Democratic policy to limit ghost guns — something Trump tried to block. Ghost guns are used by dangerous people who can’t pass background checks. This will help keep guns out of their hands. apnews.com/article/supr...
Supreme Court upholds Biden rule requiring serial numbers and background checks for ghost guns
Gun safety groups are celebrating the Supreme Court decision upholding a Biden administration firearm regulation on nearly impossible-to-trace ghost guns.

Hegseth, Waltz, and everyone involved on the Signal chain should resign. This level of incompetence is clearly extensive throughout Trump’s cabinet and goes all the way to the top. This also begs the question, why was any of this being discussed on a signal chain?

Great to join Shoreline College's WAVES Asian Pacific Islander Student Center to discuss the current state of education. It was so refreshing to be around so many students, faculty, and community members who are ready to stand up and protect education and our democracy!

America does not suffer from scarcity — we suffer from greed. And what does taking on that greed look like? Taxing the rich, breaking up big corporations, lowering costs, raising wages, and fighting back against corruption. Democrats are ready to stand up for working people.

The dismantling and destruction of USAID has been illegal, chaotic, and is a danger to our national security and our American interests. And it has all come at the hands of Elon Musk — an unelected billionaire, terminating programs that literally save lives.

What the Trump admin is doing to Mahmoud Khalil — disappearing him to an ICE facility because they didn’t like what he had to say — is unconstitutional, full stop. Silencing free speech is the playbook of authoritarians and dictators. Every single American should be outraged.

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.
