I visited Neighborcare — an amazing community health clinic that serves low-income, seniors, and people of all statuses in our community. As they confront the challenges of Trump’s health care cuts and the Republican shutdown, I will continue to stand with them and support their critical work.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as we recognize the history and deep cultural traditions of the diverse Indigenous Tribes, we must also reflect on the trauma and damage they have suffered in this country. Today, we recommit to lifting up and supporting our Indigenous communities.

I visited Neighborcare and met with their staff to discuss how the Republican shutdown is affecting their work. As this administration undermines the public health work that organizations like this are doing — it was an important reminder to get your annual vaccines this fall!

Pete Hegseth’s new policy on facial hair does nothing to improve our military — it just targets troops over their religious beliefs. This will do nothing but drive qualified and dedicated soldiers away from serving their country. www.axios.com/2025/10/02/h...

"No more beardos": Hegseth's comments stir religious, medical concerns

In some religions, a beard is more than facial hair — it's a critical part of one's faith.

I’m an immigrant — one of less than 20 naturalized citizens currently serving in Congress. I am going to do absolutely everything I can to use my power to fight Trump’s hateful immigration policies and protect immigrants in every corner of this country.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to an end, I want to highlight an amazing leader in our community: King County Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda! CM Mosqueda is a lifelong advocate for working families, community health, and economic equity—and I’m grateful to have her as a partner.

Trump’s deployment of military troops into our cities is unlawful — and unacceptable. This is a threat to our freedoms and our democracy.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 11(source)

While Americans struggle to pay for groceries, Trump is focused on real estate deals in the Middle East and his gold-plated Oval Office.

Health care subsidies are about to expire, meaning that tens of thousands of Washingtonians will see their premiums skyrocket. Republicans refuse to even come to the table to protect health care. They are making the American people poorer and sicker. www.kuow.org/stories/pay-...

Pay twice as much for health insurance? That’s the prospect some Washington residents face

A clash over health care tax credits is at the center of the ongoing federal shutdown. Democrats want those subsidies extended. But many Republicans want to let them expire. That leaves thousands of Washington residents who rely on the subsidies to pay for health insurance with tough choices: pay the new rate, purchase catastrophic coverage, or forgo health insurance altogether.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 10(source)

Trump and Russ Vought don’t have to lay off federal workers. They’re choosing to because they want to “inflict maximum pain” on the American people. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table and end this chaos. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

White House Starts Mass Layoffs of Government Workers

OMB chief Russell Vought made the announcement on social media as the shutdown continued.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 10(source)

An elected official called for my execution. This threat is a clear attempt to shut down nonviolent resistance against this administration. I will not be silenced, and our nonviolent people-powered movement will continue to grow.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 10(source)

Trump said he was going after the “worst of the worst.” He lied. ICE is rounding up children, people on valid visas, and even U.S. citizens.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 10(source)

Were you recently furloughed? Have you gotten notice that your health insurance premiums are going up? Tell me how you’ve been impacted by this Republican shutdown. I want to hear your story, so I can better fight for you! Thank you for sharing.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 9(source)

A huge congrats to Mary E. Brunkow for winning the Nobel Prize in medicine! It is crucial that we fight back against Trump’s cuts and continue to invest in places like ISB and their innovative and lifesaving work. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

She didn’t believe she won the Nobel — until a photographer showed up at her Seattle door

That random number ringing your phone is probably junk — but not always.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 9(source)

Today, I hosted a roundtable with furloughed federal workers across several agencies and their message was clear — we cannot give in or give up. For them, for federal workers across the country, and for everyone worried about their health care, I will continue fighting.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 9(source)

Trump is weaponizing the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and it is unprecedented and flat out dangerous. I stand with Letitia James. This administration must be held accountable. www.cbsnews.com/news/new-yor...

New York AG Letitia James indicted in Virginia after investigation by Trump's DOJ

A federal grand jury has indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking the second Trump foe to face federal prosecution in recent weeks.

Republicans want to cut health care for millions of Americans, as premiums are set to skyrocket in the coming weeks. This is a crisis — real people and real lives are on the line. Republicans must end this shutdown and protect health care for our communities now. seattlemedium.com/government-s...

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 9(source)

We are 9 days into the Republican Shutdown. Democrats are ready to negotiate to save health care and stop premiums from skyrocketing even higher. Republicans refuse.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 9(source)

Last night, I hosted a town hall on the Republican Shutdown with hundreds of our neighbors. Folks packed the room and asked incredibly thoughtful questions about what this shutdown will mean for them and how we can continue to hold the line to protect health care.
