Find a crime. Blame an immigrant. Make people deportable. Deny basic due process. Rinse and repeat. That is Republicans' favorite type of bill.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is making life more expensive. It needs to end. Now.

The image shows a news headline from The Seattle Times about Washington gas prices hitting $5 a gallon due to the Iran war. In the background, the Seattle Space Needle is visible. In the foreground, there's a gas station sign displaying the price as $5.29 for regular.

The Pentagon just requested an additional $200 BILLION to fund Trump’s illegal war in Iran. That’s your taxpayer dollars going to war instead of to education, food assistance, and health care. We need to end this war and focus on issues right here at home.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 21(source)

Trump is trying to distract us from the Epstein files with his illegal war with Iran. But it won’t work and we won’t stop our fight for transparency. The DOJ needs to release ALL the files.

Every death that is recorded under ICE’s watch is not just a number — there are families that have lost loved ones. Imrain and all those in mourning deserve answers. I will not stop fighting until we get real accountability.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 20(source)

Yesterday on the House Floor, the Washington Delegation held a moment of silence to honor the life of Air Force Captain Ariana Savino. I send my deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.

Loss of Air Force captain from WA leaves ‘shock, anger, grief, pride'

Ariana Savino, 31, of Covington, was a natural leader and dedicated friend, said those who knew her. She was one of six aviators killed in Iraq last week.

Removing undocumented students from public schools would hurt us all.

Another escalation of Trump’s illegal war: The administration is now sending thousands of additional Marines to the Middle East. Nobody wants another forever war. Congress must demand a stop to this before more lives are lost and trillions of taxpayer dollars are wasted.

Headline from The Wall Street Journal: "Pentagon Sending Thousands of Additional Marines to Middle East" Below is a photo of a warship and additional text from the article that reads, "The Pentagon is sending three warships and thousands of additional Marines to the Middle East, even as President Trump insists he won’t put American boots on the ground in Iran, according to U.S. officials. Roughly 2,200 to 2,500 Marines from the California-based USS Boxer amphibious ready group and 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are heading to the U.S. Central Command, responsible for all American forces in the Middle East, the officials said."

NEW POD: I sat down with Washington Senator Noel Frame to discuss the recently passed Millionaires Tax in WA and what we can do to fight for a more progressive tax system nationwide. Watch or listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Wishing a joyous Eid al-Fitr to Muslims in Washington, the US, and across the world! I hope the holy month of Ramadan brought peace, clarity, and joy to all who celebrate.

Americans across political parties care deeply about privacy and surveillance. We cannot allow a “clean” reauthorization of FISA Section 702. Read more: https://jayapal.house.gov/2026/03/19/jayapal-statement-on-upcoming-fisa-reauthorization/

Trump’s administration is lying and spreading misinformation, all while cutting research funding, and as a result, we’re seeing outbreaks of measles across the country. People will die. We must follow the science to keep our communities safe and healthy.

Measles cases are on the rise in Washington state

At least 26 measles cases across four counties have been diagnosed this year -- more than double the number of cases identified in 2025. The majority are in Snohomish County.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 19(source)

The Trump administration used a 5-year-old Liam Ramos as bait. Then they detained him and his father at a for-profit detention center in Texas. Now, a judge is denying the family’s asylum case. This repeated traumatization is utterly cruel. I hope this decision is overturned.

Judge Orders Deportation of 5-Year-Old Minneapolis Boy Liam Ramos and His Family

A judge ended the asylum claims of Liam Conejo Ramos and his family. The 5-year-old's detention had become a symbol of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 19(source)

Republicans claim they’re standing up for animal welfare, but it's just another excuse for their bill that would allow immigrants to be deported without a conviction. This is absurd legislation. If Republicans cared about animal cruelty, they should look at Kristi Noem.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 19(source)

Republicans don’t care that you can’t afford gas, childcare, or health care. Instead, they want $200 BILLION MORE for their illegal war with Iran. Absolutely ridiculous.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 19(source)

Bombs are not the answer. We need to invest in the real tools at our disposal to promote peace and freedom around the world.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 18(source)

I was just notified of another death in ICE custody — the 13th death so far this year, and 44th since Trump retook office. These private, for-profit detention centers have a duty to ensure the health and well-being of immigrants. There must be accountability and justice.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 18(source)

I am absolutely horrified and deeply saddened by the accounts of multiple young girls and women who were assaulted, abused, and groomed by Cesar Chavez. My full statement:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 18(source)

Pope Leo and I agree: Health care is a moral imperative. It is a human right. We need Medicare for All.

A picture of Pope Leo along with a headline from Reuters: "Pope Leo calls universal healthcare a 'moral imperative'" Additional smaller text at the bottom reads, "Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their citizens universal healthcare, calling it a "moral imperative" that ‌people have access to the health services they need."

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMar 18(source)

Regime change does not work. It never has, it never will. We must end Trump’s illegal war with Iran and work to ensure safety for U.S. servicemembers and Iranian civilians alike.
