Americans continue to grapple with increased costs due to Trump’s reckless economic policies, especially during the holiday season. American companies paid $1.2 billion in tariffs on toys, $409 million in tariffs on Christmas decorations, and $773 million in tariffs on speakers and headphones.

1/ NATO can’t force the U.S. to send troops. Article 5 says each nation takes action as it deems necessary. That can mean sanctions, logistics, intel—not necessarily combat forces. Gabbard frames NATO as drafting American troops. That’s not how the treaty works.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Grateful to the Garfield County Democrats for welcoming me to their #Thanksgiving potluck. As the days grow colder and the nights get longer, breaking bread as a community and discussing solutions to shared concerns is a real gift. And the Pomeroy Golf Course is a hidden gem! #WA05

From birth to old age, Washingtonians depend on Apple Health (Medicaid) for essential care. The GOP's budget bill does nothing but make it harder for families and seniors to get the care they need. From increasing health care costs to closing rural hospitals, this bill puts our communities at risk.

“But democracy…requires accepting that some things are not subject to popular vote.”
“So here is what I believe,there are rights that majorities cannot touch. Freedom of speech, even speech that offends. Religious liberty, even for minority faiths. Equality before the law, even when inequality would be more efficient. Privacy, even when surveillance promises security”.
