The source of the Olympic Pipeline leak has been found & fuel should be flowing to SEA again soon. While this should alleviate some flight disruptions, travelers should monitor the status of their flights.

I continue to monitor the Olympic Pipeline leak in Snohomish County. I'm receiving regular updates while BP searches for the source. I'm also working with the Port, elected leaders, & others to determine what federal relief can be leveraged to bring more fuel into SEA & minimize flight disruptions.

Here’s why Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea means you pay more in the long run.

The numbers don’t lie. Trump’s sweeping tariffs have hurt American businesses, strained supply chains, & raised prices.

WA workers & exporters are caught in the middle.

Congress must have a real say on trade so it serves hardworking Americans, not Trump’s political whims.

Political violence has no place in our country. Trump’s threats against Members of Congress are unacceptable & must stop. There needs to be a bipartisan rejection of this rhetoric that puts Americans at risk.

Today, we recognize the violence & discrimination transgender people regularly face & remember those who have lost their lives. We must keep fighting for equality & speaking out against hate.

Senate Republicans recently created a cash-grab scheme so a few of them can line their pockets with your tax dollars.
 
This is corruption in broad daylight, while everyday families struggle to make ends meet.
 
I strongly oppose this & will vote to repeal it today.

Congress must prioritize transparency & be accountable to the will of the people.

Banning stock trading for Members of Congress is key to restoring trust in government.

Today’s House Administration Committee hearing is an essential step forward, but we need to take action & advance legislation.

Trump promised lower costs. So why are we paying more than ever for essentials?

The president’s economic policies are sending us in the wrong direction.

I just voted to release the Epstein files. The public deserves answers—plain & simple.

Trump is ending the IRS Direct File program—an important program that made filing your taxes free and easy. The only people he is helping are private tax service companies that charge you to file your taxes.

IRS Direct File won't be available next year. Here's what that means for taxpayers
The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear.

The Speaker delayed swearing in Rep. Grijalva for 7 weeks to stop her from signing the Epstein files discharge petition. Now that she has signed, we have the 218 signatures necessary to force a vote on releasing the full files.

Americans deserve transparency. No more delays. No more cover-ups.

Trump scrapping flight delay compensation abandons travelers when they need help the most & will make flying more expensive.

Promised lower energy costs. Delivered higher utility bills. 

Families are paying the price of Trump’s broken promises.

Now do the rest of the tariffs!

Trump’s finally admitting what we’ve all known for months – his reckless tariffs are forcing Americans to pay more at the grocery store.

A 50-year mortgage means homeowners could pay 86% more in interest compared to the traditional 30-year. Trump’s idea doesn’t do anything to address the affordability crisis, it is only trapping people in more debt.

Epstein’s emails show Trump knew more than he admits. The full files must be released. The public deserves the truth.

Republicans’ funding bill does nothing to address their health care crisis. The American people deserve better. I’m voting NO!
November 13, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, health care costs are skyrocketing & millions could lose their coverage. Families are paying the price for Republicans’ broken promises.

Great to have Rep. Grijalva as the newest member of the Democratic Caucus! The people of AZ-07 have a voice again in the House.

It shouldn’t have taken Speaker Johnson seven shameful weeks to swear her in so he could stall a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
