The House suddenly lost Congressman Sylvester Turner last night. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and the citizens of Texas's 18th District. His decades of public service showed a selfless drive to better the city of Houston, and he will be deeply missed.

President Trump’s speech last night was full of lies, distortions, insults, and a bunch of anecdotes—none of which addressed the economic challenges that the American people are facing.
Without their work, Washingtonians risk a cut to their electricity supply and steep rate increases. This work by the administration is unacceptable and must be reversed. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I recently signed onto a letter with members of WA's Congressional Delegation to Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright condemning the Trump administrations executive order that resulted in workers being laid off at Bonneville Power Administration, the PNW's largest source of electricity.
- An additional 200,000 children paralyzed with polio per year
- More than 28,000 cases of diseases such as Ebola and Marburg

Because of President Trump's shortsighted and destructive decision to decimate foreign assistance, we could see:
- Up to 18 million more cases of malaria per year, and as many as 166,000 additional deaths
- An up to 38% increase in tuberculosis
At my recent Virtual Town Hall, I took two questions from Joanna about how to support access to health care and building affordable housing under the Trump administration’s budget cuts.

Thanks to the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters for coming to my office. These firefighters are some of our state’s bravest, most selfless people, and I’ll continue to support their union.
Today, I met with the Bellevue College Associated Student Government who spoke with me about funding to higher education, student opportunities, and collegiate programs across our state. Appreciate you being here.

“Tonight’s decision makes us less safe and makes continued war in Ukraine more likely. ... While Republicans choose to sit silently, thousands upon thousands of Ukrainians will die as our own national security is weakened by our own commander in chief."

The HOPE for Homeownership Act will crack down on corporate greed and make housing more affordable.
Last week, I introduced legislation to continue my effort to kick hedge funds out of our nation’s housing market. Too many families struggle to meet rent payments or even afford to buy a home because large investors are squeezing out prospective buyers.
Happy World Wildlife Day. Let’s protect the wild plants and animals that make our planet beautiful.
On Friday, I met with the Master Builders Association of King County. Access to affordable housing is the biggest issue in our community and I will work with homebuilding organizations to complete housing projects.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Tech Fair this weekend at the Mercer Island Library!

“If the reports of an order curtailing U.S. Cyber Command activities are accurate, Sec Hegseth owes the committee a detailed explanation.”
-House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov responding to reports that offensive cyber operations against Russia have been stopped.
DOGE's mass firings are creating confusion and impacting local services. From the National Parks to the Seattle VA -- services that people use daily are being cut without care. None of this is making government more efficient or effect.

Over the past few weeks, DOGE has axed more than 1,000 National Park Service employees and 3,400 National Forest Service employees. Many of those who have been recently laid off are proud Washingtonians who work to safeguard our state’s parks and public lands. This is unacceptable.
Musk and Trump continue to stab the federal workforce in the back and harm our country in the process.
