Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.
Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.
I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU.
Please share it far and wide.

What we all saw today in the White House was a disgrace. Being pro-American does not mean you turn your back on another democratic ally to appease Putin.
Ronald Reagan would be horrified by this cowardly display by an American President.

Amazing protest in Seattle today. We basically surrounded U Village and then had a terrific rally in front of the Tesla dealership. Huge turnout and energy from the crowd. This was a good day :)

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

Biomarker testing helps diagnose and treat diseases like cancer, but it's expensive and not covered by all insurance. For Kaelyn Lukson, it led to a life-saving treatment. WA House Bill 1062 aims to require insurance coverage for biomarker testing. bit.ly/41sjGTh
Proposed bill aims to require private, public insurance companies to cover biomarker testing
Biomarker testing has the potential to improve patient outcomes significantly, but its high cost means it's not accessible to everyone.

Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research.
Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.
