Last night, I hosted my 130th town hall since coming to Congress. So many people showed up to ask questions and share their concerns about Trump’s reckless, authoritarian attacks. It is so important that we come together in community during this current moment and chart a path forward.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is a powerful tool the government uses to surveil Americans without a warrant — and it has a troubling history of misuse. Check out my op-ed on why Congress must not reauthorize it without real reforms and protections.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies — FISA 702 endangers your privacy

Congress must pass real reforms and protections to FISA 702 before it expires on April 20, including a warrant requirement to ensure Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights are protected.

Biggest increase in inflation in 4 years. Biggest monthly increase in gas prices in 60 years. Trump’s war in Iran is costing Americans big here at home.

Headline from CNN overlayed an image of someone pumping gas. Text reads: "US inflation tripled last month on record spike in gas prices"

I met with one of my constituents who bravely served in Afghanistan, and he did me the incredible honor of presenting me with his ribbon rack. He and the people he served with have seen forever wars their entire lives. It is time for these needless, thoughtless wars to end.

Civilians must be protected, civilian infrastructure should not be targeted, and we must stop any Israeli occupation of Lebanon.

Tweet from @RepJayapal: "Since the war against Iran began, hundreds of civilians in Lebanon have been killed and injured, and over a million people have been displaced. Israel has also signaled plans to occupy much of southern Lebanon.

This cannot continue — civilians must be protected, civilian infrastructure should not be targeted, and we must stop any Israeli occupation of Lebanon."

Donald Trump has launched us into an illegal, unauthorized war in Iran, and just two days ago, he threatened to end an entire civilization. His unhinged, dangerous threats show once again how unfit he is to be president. He must be removed from office now.

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

The war in Iran has gone on too long — and should have never started in the first place. Congress must immediately vote on another War Powers Resolution.

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

This illegal war must end. And Donald Trump needs to be removed from office.

Jim Whittaker was a legend and true pillar in the climbing community. Born in Seattle, he was the first American to summit Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak. Sending my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

WA climbing legend, the first American to summit Everest, dies at 97

Jim Whittaker died Tuesday in Port Townsend. The legendary Washington mountaineer made history in 1963 as the first American to reach the top of the world's tallest mountain.

Thousands of Iranian and Lebanese civilians have been killed, millions more displaced. U.S. servicemembers' lives are being put in danger. And Americans are paying the price at the gas pump. Congress must vote on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war now.

ICYMI: I reintroduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act. If billionaires paid their fair share, we could pay for community college for every American, expand health care access, and reinvest in the American people.

Graphic titled "My Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act Explained." It is divided into two columns. The left column shows two pennies and explains that for every dollar owed above 50 million, two cents are paid, and for every dollar owed above one billion, an additional one cent is paid. The right column lists potential benefits: expanding Medicare, slashing child poverty, building homes and lowering costs, and providing free community college.

Paramount Skydance is trying to buy Warner Brother Discovery for $110 BILLION, which would give massive media control to one giant company run by a major Trump supporter. It also means less choices and higher costs for you. We need to stand up to this corporate consolidation.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 8(source)

I’m relieved Trump did not destroy an entire civilization last night, but his unhinged threat and illegal war make it clear he is unfit to serve as president. Trump needs to be removed from office. And we must oppose his administration’s new $1.5 trillion budget proposal for more war.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 7(source)

Donald Trump threatening the destruction of an entire civilization is madness. He is completely unfit to serve as President of the United States. Invoke the 25th Amendment. Or Republicans must stand up with us to impeach him. We cannot allow him to set fire to the world.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 7(source)

This threat is outrageous, dangerous, and unhinged. Trump’s illegal war in Iran has already led to enormous death and destruction, including a school bombing that killed over 100 children. Congress must immediately act to rein him in before more people die.

A social media post from Donald J. Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!"

Trump’s America-last budget.

Green graphic with a picture of Trump looking down. White and green tax are overlayed that detail how Trump's budget proposes $1.5 trillion for war, but makes tons of cuts to other programs like housing, education, and environmental protection.

While @jonathanjackson.house.gov and I were in Cuba, we saw the incredible suffering on the ground of the Cuban people. It's now critical that the U.S. does not go to war with Cuba, and that we negotiate to end the sanctions and fuel blockade.

US Democratic lawmakers visit Cuba, call on Trump to "bring the rhetoric down"

Two Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives visited Cuba last week, the first such delegation to go to the island this year since U.S. president Donald Trump imposed a de facto oil blockade i...

Now is the time for us to reverse the U.S. government’s policies that no longer serve the American people or the Cuban people, starting with ending the illegal U.S. fuel blockade.

Picture of Reps. Jayapal and Jackson in Cuba with a Washington Post headline overlayed: "2 US lawmakers visiting Cuba denounce island’s ‘economic bombing’ under energy blockade"

Text from article: "Two U.S lawmakers called for a permanent solution to Cuba’s crises after witnessing the effects of a U.S. energy blockade during an official visit to the island .

Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Jonathan Jackson of Illinois met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel , Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez and members of Parliament during a five-day trip that ended Sunday.

Jayapal told reporters she believes that recent steps taken by Cuba, such as opening the economy to certain investments by Cuban Americans living abroad; the recent announcement that more than 2,000 prisoners would be pardoned; and the arrival of an FBI team to collaborate in the investigation of a fatal shooting involving a U.S.-flagged boat, “indicate that the moment is here for us to have a real negotiation between the two countries and to reverse the failed U.S. policy of decades, a Cold War remnant that no longer serves the American people or the Cuban people."'

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govApr 6(source)

Over the past few decades, we’ve seen a failed U.S. policy toward Cuba. This is a new moment. Instead of blockades, sanctions, and embargoes, we must pursue real negotiations that help the people of both our countries.
