I am sick and tired of men in positions of power getting away with sexual harassment, assault and abuse. Representatives Gonzales and Swalwell should resign. Otherwise, I would vote to expel them.

This week, I spent time on Vashon Island meeting with Vashon Maury Community Food Bank to see their amazing new space, Washington Department of Ecology to talk about shoreline restoration work happening on the island, and with small business owners.

For the fourth year in a row, WA has declared a drought emergency. This is not normal. Climate change is here and now — and we need to urgently address it.

WA declares unprecedented fourth drought emergency in a row

The fact that state officials started ringing alarm bells so early in the year underscores just how painful they expect the summer dry spell to be.

The US embargo on Cuba is the longest embargo in world history — and the fuel blockade is causing a greater humanitarian crisis for the Cuban people. We must work toward prosperity and democracy for Cuba, and to have real collaboration between our countries.

Donald Trump pulled us out of the Iran nuclear deal. And now, he’s launched us into an illegal war with no plan or authorization. It needs to end immediately.

DACA recipients are experiencing major delays in renewing their status. As a result, people are losing their jobs and facing detention and removal. This is unacceptable. I’m joining @chuygarcia.house.gov and Rep. Lou Correa to demand answers from DHS.

ICE Is Detaining DACA Recipients. It's Growing Harder for Them to Get Out.

The Trump administration views DACA recipients as deportable as any undocumented immigrant.

People are paying more for their health insurance premiums because Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits. We need to restore these credits to relieve the immediate pain, and we need Medicare for All.

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."

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

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.
