Attorney General Bondi recently threatened to put me in jail. Now, the President has threatened to put the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor in jail.

This is about as authoritarian as it gets.

@jayapal.house.gov is right, Americans bow to No Kings.

Trump wants to rule over us so he & his billionaires backers can profit.

Together, we can stop this authoritarian regime. Join us & Pramila for the NO KINGS march & rally on October 18th at Seattle Center: actionnetwork.org/events/2025-...

I asked Mike Johnson last year when he campaigned for Joe Kent about warnings by former Trump admin figures that Trump would ignore constitutional limits & slide U.S. toward autocracy. He said: “I do not have any concern about that at all.”

It's true for housing, but also every other major issue people care about: with MAGA Republicans gutting all funding to our state, #WALeg rebalancing our upside-down state tax code will be necessary to make any progress in reducing homelessness, bringing down costs, or funding childcare & education.

"Absolutely there are people I don't like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the planet he's sure he's going to discover... He'd be the host ... Along with Musk would be Trump... And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I'd certainly put Netanyahu in there, and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off." - Jane Goodall

MAGA Republicans chose to slash health care, food assistance, and essential programs for working class people just to give $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich and corporations.

Notice how even as they whine, they can still summon 50 votes to stop Dems from restoring health care 👀

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 2d

ICYMI: Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would reopen the government AND save health care for millions of Americans.

This is now the FIFTH time we've voted on this bill.

Now it's up to #WALeg Dems to chose: rebalance our upside down tax code to fund our futures, or double down on the harmful cuts of the MAGA agenda.

The MAGA regime is a fascist grift to make Trump's billionaire backers richer at the expense of working people like us.

Our leaders in WA have refused to finance MAGA’s war against Americans, from invading our cities, to stealing health care from seniors and taking food from kids.

When the MAGA GOP cuts our health care and food assistance, it's up to #WALeg Dems to make big corporations pay what they owe to support working families.

With deep cuts to state services, reform is needed so the wealthy and corporations pay what they owe.

The MAGA majority in Congress wants to fund their fascist invasions of our cities, give their billionaire backers another tax cut, and cut our health care.

Tell your Representatives to refuse any deal that doesn't put ironclad requirements into law to restore health care & limit MAGA attacks:

Tell your Congress members: no dollars for dictatorship

MAGA Republicans are using their power to strip health care from millions of Americans, illegally abduct our neighbors, and give our tax dollars to their billionaire backers. Democrats must oppose the...

WA rightfully denied Trump's demand for our voter rolls. MAGA both in DC and here in the better Washington both want to violate our freedom to have fair elections and vote by mail.
