My former preschool students could follow instructions better than our country's top national security officials—AND they'd know to be honest and apologize for their mistakes.   But this isn't preschool—it's our national security, and the lives of our servicemembers are at risk.
Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content
I met with leaders from Coulee Medical Center—which serves remote, rural communities in eastern WA. House Republicans' plans to gut Medicaid would have devastating consequences for rural providers and patients—and I will do everything I can to fight back.
Senator Murray is standing at the end of a large wood, rectangle table with her arms resting on a black leather chair in front of her. There are two people seated at the table on the left and three on the right. Everyone has their backs to the camera and is facing the Senator.
Freezing Title X funding that helps women get cancer screenings, birth control & pregnancy tests, STI treatment, and more is ILLEGAL and will put women's lives at risk. Trump & Elon don't care how many women suffer from their deranged mission to attack anything they deem DEI.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars designated for certain family planning organizations, including Planned Parenthood, while their DEI efforts are examined
Republicans are firing Social Security workers and pushing staff to leave en masse. Republicans are shuttering SSA offices across the country. Republicans are jamming up the phone lines and wait times. All of this is just another way of cutting Social Security benefits.
It’s pretty simple: when you do the same work as a colleague, you should get paid the same—no matter your gender. That's why I'm proud to reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act and keep leading the fight to end wage discrimination.
Trump & Elon illegally dismantling USAID & blocking funding is seriously hurting @onecampaign.bsky.social's work to improve global health & development. I heard from WA state members about what this means for communities at home & abroad.
Senator Murray is sitting on the end of a wood, rectangle table. There are two people sitting on the left of the table and three on the right. Everyone is looking at the Senator with their backs to the camera.
This is a deadly serious failure—who knows what other classified information they are playing fast & loose with? Many of these people should never have had their jobs to begin with & everyone involved needs to be held accountable immediately. Americans' safety and security is at risk.
Frank was a leader who really cared if people had health care and a roof over their heads—and he did everything in his power to lift families out of poverty. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. He will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him.
When it comes to choosing whether to help working Americans or throw cash at billionaires—you can bet Republicans will choose the billionaires every time. That's why they're pushing to slash Medicaid & rip the rug out from under the 1.8 million people in WA state who rely on it.
15 years ago, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act to expand health care for millions. And we keep working to make health care affordable & expand access. The Republican health care plan has been—and continues to be—tax cuts for billionaires and good luck to everyone else.
Spoken like a true multi-millionaire. Trump's Treasury Secretary is wildly out of touch. Most middle-class families would much rather have lower prices at the grocery store than pay higher prices for just about everything because of Trump's nonsensical tariffs.
Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said this today: “Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American Dream” Bessent, who is worth $700 million, has been criticized by MAGA activists for this comment.
The Republican policy on Social Security is to create so much red tape for you that it's harder to get the benefits you've paid into your entire career. Meanwhile, they'll keep lying about fraud and stealing from you to pass trillions in tax cuts for billionaires.
YOUR retirement accounts are taking a hit all because Donald Trump is picking fights with Canada and Mexico. The Trump tariffs have nothing to do with sound policy that benefits the American people and everything to do with Trump's ego.
Trump is going to create chaos for borrowers & students by breaking government like an angry toddler. This is a clear violation of education & appropriations law. To say nothing of his plans to cut SBA staff by over 40% while asking them to now manage ALL federal student loans.
Trump announces that the Small Business Administration will immediately handle all federal student loans, and RFK Jr is now in charge of "handling special needs and all of the nutrition programs and everything else."
Trump & Elon are destroying public schools to enrich themselves. But the decisions we make in education today will set a course for our children and our country for years to come—and I will ALWAYS fight to support every student and give them as bright a future as possible.
I had the honor of working with Ralph Munro as he worked to eradicate polio worldwide. From championing disability rights to helping Vietnamese refugees, he made WA state better. He was a true public servant. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Elon & DOGE are playing politics with YOUR Social Security, and they do not care if you get YOUR money. We are talking about people's livelihoods, and the Trump administration is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration to make a statement.
For most Americans, not getting their Social Security check would mean not being able to afford rent, groceries, their medication—or all three! But a billionaire cabinet secretary is saying if you complain about not getting the benefits you've EARNED, you're a fraudster.
Trump's EO will make it harder for students to get help with financial aid, jeopardize funding schools and families count on, & make it easier for predatory businesses to rip students off. Trump, Musk, and McMahon’s goal is clear: destroy public schools and enrich themselves.
