I am not going to support the confirmation of a federal prosecutor who wants to rewrite the basic history of January 6th and who believes the overturning of Roe v. Wade was the right decision.   Serrano is far out of step with Washington state values.
I'll keep saying it: RFK Jr. is a deadly threat to our public health and safety.   He is razing CDC, NIH, and other health agencies to the ground—putting politics and deranged conspiracy theories over science.   We need bipartisan oversight immediately, and he must be FIRED.
Sen. Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired." "I hope my Republican colleagues who have come to regret their vote to confirm RFK Jr. will join me."
Trump is attacking unions, driving up costs, and dismantling workers’ rights. On Labor Day, we’re reminded that America deserves better. I’m proud to have helped author the PRO Act to expand workers’ rights & strengthen unions—and I’ll keep fighting to put workers first.
Donald Trump's health care cuts are going to be catastrophic. First, Americans will see their premiums skyrocket, and millions will be priced out of coverage. Then, millions will lose Medicaid, and hospitals will begin to close. Democrats are fighting to repeal these cuts.
It’s good that the courts are making clear that Trump’s destructive tariffs are illegal. These tariffs are crushing small businesses and costing regular people thousands of dollars for no good reason.  Democrats will keep pushing to end these tariffs & restore economic sanity.
Trump is attempting more ILLEGAL cuts to government investments, trying to push Congress to the side entirely. This is a brazen attempt to steal Congress's power to be YOUR voice on taxpayer spending. Trump does NOT have a line-item veto, much less a retroactive one.
These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.
This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick. Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary. These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.
Absolutely heartbreaking. We are so past the point of just thoughts and prayers—and we have been for YEARS. Of course I’m thinking of all of the victims of today’s shooting, but I’m also ready to pass common sense gun safety reforms TODAY. Are Republicans?
Authoritarian power grabs like this will trash the American economy. This is about YOUR MONEY 💰💸💸! It’s about every family’s savings & retirement. Republicans need to get serious about drawing a line here.
President Trump’s attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook is the most dramatic step yet in his effort to take control of the independent central bank.
This is a travesty on so many levels. There will need to be congressional hearings and serious accountability for Elon and DOGE. Republicans may not conduct real oversight, but a Democratic majority certainly will. This doesn’t end here.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

I absolutely do NOT agree with Bolton’s politics but I can STILL say it’s completely corrupt to send the FBI to raid the home of a political opponent or detractor. Everyone needs to be saying it. Trump is pushing us closer and closer toward authoritarianism. We ALL need to push back.
Trump on FBI raiding Bolton's house: "I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer."
Under Trump and Doug Collins: VA randomly fired thousands of employees they had to scramble to rehire. VA contracts have been cancelled with seemingly no one checking what they’re for first—including a cancer registry in WA state! It's chaos and our veterans deserve better.
