The Trump administration is pushing for the largest Department of Defense budget in history — $1.5 TRILLION. DOD has never passed an independent audit. We should be investing in healthcare and childcare, not more war.

The largest ICE detention facility contractor, the GEO Group, made $254 MILLION last year. All while immigrants suffer and work on $1/day. Disgusting. I have a bill to eliminate all for-profit ICE facilities and create strict standards, including minimum wage pay.

The conditions reported inside Delaney Hall in New Jersey are indefensible — lack of medical care, inedible food, unsanitary conditions — all so a private company can profit. Delaney Hall and every private, for-profit detention center must be shut down.

Trump plans to DROP the $1.8 billion slush fund to reward MAGA insurrectionists and cronies who committed violence on his behalf. This blatant corruption is so unpopular, even Trump can no longer defend it. Public pressure works.
Axios headline: "Scoop: Trump plans to drop "weaponization" fund"

The attacks on naturalized citizens by Republicans trying to boost their political careers should not be normalized. Naturalized citizens know how meaningful it is to be an American. Republicans can never take that away.
Jayapal slams GOP resolution excluding naturalized citizens like her from federal office
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is pushing back against a Republican colleague’s constitutional amendment targeting naturalized Americans, dismissing it as racist and xenophobic. “One loyalty” U.S...

Happy Pride Month🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ To the LGBTQIA+ community, even as Trump and Republicans promote hate, know that: I see you, I hear you, I love you, and I will NEVER stop fighting for you.

The American people do not want the U.S. government to continue using taxpayer dollars to arm the Israeli government. We must pass the Block the Bombs Act to stop our complicity in the violence and destruction against Palestinian families and children.

The Trump administration’s new refugee admissions policy doubles down on their racist prioritization of white South Africans. It’s shameful and abandons the thousands of previously approved and vetted refugees fleeing war and violence.
Trump administration raises US refugee cap, but only for white South Africans
President Trump has announced that the U.S. is admitting 10,000 additional white South Africans as refugees, citing persecution in their home country. This decision comes as the administration blocks refugees from other countries.

As we near the end of AANHPI Heritage Month, I want to take a moment to recognize an incredible leader in our community: Councilmember Eddie Lin. Lin has spent his career dedicated to justice, pushing for investments in housing, and creating opportunity for all in our community.
AANHPI Heritage Month Constituent Spotlight featuring a photo of Eddie Lin and a quote, "As the son of a Taiwanese immigrant and mixed race couple, I’m honored to represent Seattle’s diverse south end on council. My neighborhood of Beacon Hill has provided my kids a beautiful and supportive community to grow up in. I’m grateful for my role as Chair of the Comprehensive Plan, ensuring Seattle builds a future in which all residents can thrive, from generations of families to those now seeking refuge here."
White text overlayed a blue background: "Councilmember Eddie Lin brings to the council an extensive law background. He is the son of a Taiwanese immigrant and mixed race couple who grew up in the South. Councilmember Lin settled in Seattle after attending law school at Seattle University. After falling in love with the area, he joined the City Attorney’s Office in 2017 and has worked directly with the Office of Housing to help make unprecedented investments in rental and homeownership projects across Seattle. A Seattle Public Schools parent since 2009, he is married to a proud educator and local union leader. Councilmember Lin represents District 2 on Seattle city council which includes the neighborhoods of Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Chinatown-International District, Columbia City, Mount Baker, Yesler Terrace, and Rainier Beach."

My heart breaks for Wendy, who was finally able to return to the US to bury her 3-year-old son, Orlin. We must never forget Orlin and how ICE ignored Wendy’s pleas when they separated her from her son. Family separation is cruel and it must be stopped.
ICE allows mother it deported without her toddler to return for his burial
Wendy Hernandez Reyes denies she “abandoned” her son, as ICE claimed. In an extraordinary act, she was allowed to come back to the U.S. for his burial.
