Around our country, extremists are hard at work passing laws to control people, their bodies, and limit their rights.

But groups like Planned Parenthood Action Fund are fighting every day to defeat these attacks.

I’m grateful to have their support.

South Sound projects get $8M in federal funds, including to expand popular trail Projects in Thurston County, Tacoma, Puyallup and elsewhere in the South Sound got funding.

Federal investments boost our local economy, & make the South Sound a cleaner, safer, & more affordable place to live and work. Despite the challenges we face w/ the GOP majority in Congress, I delivered funding for these community projects.

Bankruptcies soar as companies grapple with inflation, tariffs Businesses in vulnerable sectors found themselves caught between rising tariffs and beleaguered consumers.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are hurting our economy, devastating Main Street businesses, and raising costs for everyone - all while they give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

At every step, he fought to advance fairness and justice for all.

Let’s honor Dr. King’s legacy by finding common ground, and protecting the rights and freedoms we cherish.

President Trump and his Administration need to be accountable for the chaos they have caused for the American people.

Their recklessness is killing Americans.

Republicans in Congress like to call themselves the β€œparty of Lincoln,” but want to honor racist, Confederate traitors who fought a war to protect the institution of slavery.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson were willing to reject our defense bill if it included my bipartisan amendment to remove Confederate names from our military bases.

Trump threatened to veto NDAA over base names, Rep. Strickland says - Roll Call The Trump administration threatened to veto the defense bill over policy differences on military base names, Rep. Marilyn Strickland says.

How hard is it to say that racists shouldn't be honored?

How hard is it to say we shouldn’t name our military bases after Confederate traitors?

Unemployment just hit its highest point in nearly four years After a record shutdown delay, the September jobs report shows unemployment up to 4.4%, job growth below norms, and pay rising faster than inflation.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have done NOTHING to lower costs for working Americans, but they gave permanent tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.

Unemployment is up, and the GOP is driving us into a recession.

People know they deserve better.

Democrats will keep fighting to lower the cost of food, housing, and health care.

Donald Trump & his GOP have unleashed higher costs on working Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

The result: Costs are up, jobs are down, & the GOP is driving us towards recession.

On Tuesday, voters across WA & our nation rejected this failed leadership.

Insurance rates on WA health care exchange set to surge β€’ Washington State Standard Top U.S. House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries traveled to Washington on Friday to decry rising health insurance costs.

Republicans shut down our government rather than work w/ Democrats to stop your health care premiums from going up.

Republicans are raising your health care costs while refusing to come to the table to help lower costs.

And: They’re still on vacation.

We're 20 days into the Republican Shutdown. Republicans still haven't:

❌ Done anything to lower costs

❌ Offered any ideas to protect health care rather than cut it

❌ Come to the table to negotiate a bipartisan plan to stop price spikes for health care

❌ Cut their vacation short

Democrats are ready to negotiate a bipartisan budget that helps the American people, but we won’t stand by and green light an extreme and partisan budget plan that causes even more harm by continuing the health care cuts.

Republicans continue to prioritize giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, leaving working people behind.

And now, they’re refusing to do anything to prevent Americans from facing a massive health care price spike.

Republicans in Washington have created a health care crisis of their own making. That’s because Republicans’ Big, Ugly Law guts Medicaid and rips away lifesaving tax credits for health care.

A Republican is sitting in the White House. Republicans control the Senate & House. They control everything and they own this government shutdown. It is their responsibility to deliver a budget plan that doesn’t continue to cut health care. They haven’t done that.

Instead of stopping the health care cuts, they shut down our government.

The South Sound - and Americans everywhere - deserve better.

14 rural WA hospitals deemed at risk of closure from Medicaid cuts As hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians face potentially losing health coverage, hospital officials race to prevent service cuts and closures.

Republicans have gutted health care to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. WA's rural hospitals - a lifeline for so many in our communities - face closure.

I’m fighting to reverse this extreme Republican attack on health care & make it more affordable.

Costs are up, jobs are down, and the GOP is driving us towards a recession.

Americans deserve policies that lower costs and put the American Dream back within reach.
