I'm here in Washington D.C. looking for Republicans to negotiate with, but they're not here. Trump will negotiate with Hamas, Putin, and North Korea but won't negotiate with Democrats.
I joined 167 of my colleagues on a bipartisan, bicameral letter to demand that OMB Director Vought support the 2.2 million federal employees, including the 78,252 in Washington State, and give them their duly deserved paychecks when the government reopens.
The law is clear: all impacted government employees are entitled to back pay after a government shutdown ends.
My Democratic colleagues and I remain ready to work today to reopen the government with a bipartisan agreement that protects health care and delivers real solutions for the American people. It’s time for Republicans to put politics aside, come back to the table, and do their jobs.
A 60-year-old couple earning $82,000 will see premiums rise by $14,875 the GOP allows health care tax credits to expire. That's a 237% increase.
As long as Republicans need Democratic votes to pass government funding, they need to come to the table to negotiate with us.
Two weeks of suspended services.
Two weeks with critical health care at risk.
Two weeks of Republican vacation.
It’s time for them to come back to work for the American people and end this shut down.
Nearly 78,252 federal workers in Washington state face furloughs or missed paychecks under the Republican shutdown. This is straining household budgets and weakening local economies.
Republicans need to come back to the table, do their jobs, and deliver real solutions for the American people.
I joined @kiro7seattle.bsky.social Monday morning to discuss the concerning Republican shutdown of the government.
These cuts must be reversed immediately.
The Trump Administration's cancellation of more than $7.5 billion in funding and 223 energy projects across the country is devastating to Washington State, and will increase energy costs, cut more than 10,000 good-paying jobs, and move us away from energy independence.
I stood alongside my fellow Democratic colleagues to denounce the Department of Energy's unlawful termination of the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub.
Mass firings of federal employees working on mental health services, disease outbreaks, and disaster preparedness puts our nation at risk. We are less safe and less secure because of the recklessness and chaos of the Trump Administration.
250,000 federal employees have already missed their scheduled paychecks, with another 2 million set to miss pay this week if this government shutdown continues.
Republicans need to come back to work, negotiate with Democrats, and deliver results for the American people.
Trump's focus is on petty partisanship and punishing those who disagree with him.
His inability to work across the aisle is going to cause more than 78,000 federal workers who live in Washington state to miss paychecks.
Fact: Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Fact: Republicans are trying to take away healthcare from 15 million Americans.
Fact: Health care costs are rising because Republicans are letting health care tax credits expire.
Democrats want to help working people.
Republicans want to help billionaires.
President Trump is very vocally targeting Democratic projects as retaliation for disagreement. It's bad governance, and its going to raise costs for people across this country.
The fight over health care is incredibly important, but his shutdown battle is about more than just health care. President Trump has abused the living crap out of his power, and if we don't rein him in, our republic is at risk.
