Trump protects sex traffickers, fraudsters, and criminals loyal to him. Our government should never bend the law for the powerful. Accountability shouldn’t have exceptions and must be equal for everyone.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump promised to lower prices on “Day One.” He didn’t.
Trump promised to end inflation. He didn’t.
What Trump DID do is sell out Washingtonians while lining his own pockets.

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.

The Trump administration just narrowed the definition of “waters of the U.S.,” stripping protections from many streams and wetlands. A win for polluters.
Dems won’t let this happen. We’ll fight to keep our waters clean, safe, and protected for everyone.

‘We routinely have higher voter engagement than other states in the nation, it's working.’ Washington’s elections are safe, accessible, and effective. Efforts to add barriers don’t protect democracy; they threaten it. Dems will fight to protect our electoral system.

WA hospitals & families pay the price for GOP Medicaid cuts.
Reps. Newhouse and Baumgartner voted to slash funding that keeps care alive in rural & urban hospitals, all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. These are real people, real hospitals, real consequences, and the WA GOP voted for it.

This is the economy that Trump promised? Where inflation is rising, and wages for working families aren’t keeping up, and nearly 1 in 3 low-income households are living paycheck to paycheck. Working families deserve better, not broken promises.
