No matter what they say—we can all see that Trump & Elon are doing everything they can to make it harder for seniors to access the Social Security Administration and get the information they need about their own benefits. Making it impossible to get benefits is a benefit CUT!
ICYMI: Trump wants to ELIMINATE Head Start. This president thinks we can't afford to help families get preschool or help kids get basic health services, but we can afford trillions of dollars more in tax breaks for billionaires. It's offensive & just plain wrong.
Tax breaks for billionaires: Republicans will work around the clock to make it happen. Reversing Trump's devastating tariffs that are raising costs for families & small businesses: Republicans do nothing. Their priorities are crystal clear.
We need to protect our marine resources in the Northwest Straits, not just for local communities & Tribes, but for WA state's entire economy. That's why I reintroduced legislation to secure strong & consistent funding to protect our marine species & habitats for years to come.
Trump’s trade war is all pain and no plan—and it's families and small businesses who are suffering from the rising costs. Republicans need to join Democrats and reverse these massive taxes on working Americans.
Trump & RFK Jr. fired the ENTIRE staff who run a program that 80,000+ households in WA state rely on to heat and cool their homes. If funds don't go out and working families and seniors are stranded in deadly heat waves this summer, we know exactly why.
Trump & Elon are stealing food from our kids. That's not an exaggeration: they have canceled over a billion dollars for programs that feed hungry kids and help farmers. We need to speak out and force them to reverse course.
Salmon & fish are serious business for Washington state and the entire PNW, and foundational to our Tribes. Elon's inane cuts to NOAA are not just hurting our environment—they will kill jobs, hit our economy hard, and tank people's livelihoods. SAVE NOAA, SAVE OUR SALMON!
Trump's tariffs are RAISING prices for Americans and putting our economy, small businesses, and families' retirement savings at stake. I joined Senator Rosen & others to demand the Trump admin immediately reverse course on these sweeping tariffs & put an end to this chaotic trade war.
Congress has the power to reverse Trump's reckless tariffs. We are the check on Presidential power. We are the kill switch for Trump’s trade war. The question is, will Republicans finally stand up to Trump & vote with Democrats to end the chaos?
No, the President actually does not decide how tax dollars are spent. Congress does. It would be good if we had an Attorney General who focused on understanding the law rather than groveling and reciting lies to score points with the President. What an embarrassing spectacle.
Pam Bondi brazenly lies, tells Trump that he was "overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority" and says "you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent."
Trump's tariffs are a massive tax that YOU will pay. That means higher prices and serious pain for families and small businesses across our country. Repost if you agree Republicans need to join Democrats and vote to END the chaos & REVERSE these reckless tariffs.
House Republicans passed their budget blueprint. If you're a billionaire, then this is great news! But if you're anybody else, they're leaving you worse off. If you don't agree with that—NOW is the time to get LOUD.
Trump's 10% tariffs on the world & 145% on China will still RAISE COSTS & CRUSH small businesses—not to mention the threat of more tariffs hanging over our economy like a ticking time bomb. Trump is running our economy into the ground and we're headed straight for a GOP recession.
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their pro-billionaire, anti-middle-class budget blueprint. While Trump's tariffs raise costs for families, Republicans are full steam ahead on their plan to cut programs like Medicaid & SNAP to hand out more tax cuts to billionaires.
Guess what? A 10% tariff on the world is STILL a MAJOR blow to small businesses and consumers. And raising tariffs on China to 125% with NO PLAN is a recipe for disaster. Small businesses like grocery stores run on thin margins. Congress NEEDS to reverse these tariffs.
Trump turning tariffs on and off like a two-year-old with a light switch has already hit our economy hard. We can't live like this, and businesses can't make serious investment decisions in this kind of environment. Congress MUST reassert itself over the power to tariff.
