I have exactly zero intention of letting Donald Trump and Russ Vought decide how taxpayer dollars get spent.
I am fighting to make sure Congress does its job to pass funding bills so the American PEOPLE, through their representatives, decide where our money goes—NOT Trump.

Senate Republicans' SHAM hearing to discredit medication abortion, even though it is SAFER than Viagra, is not about science or protecting women's health—it's about their crusade to BAN abortion nationwide.

PSA: the Trump admin has quietly put in place a near-total abortion BAN at VA.
This is an assault on veterans’ health care and a betrayal of women who have put their lives on the line for our country. SPEAK OUT.

I absolutely will not support any large-scale military conflict in Venezuela or a dangerous and expensive occupation.

Trump's brazen act of war in Venezuela isn't America First.
It's Big Oil barons first.

Would Republicans in Congress still nod their head and go along with it if Russia did what Trump did in Venezuela? Or China?
Can North Korea send the military to arrest South Korean leaders?
Can Iran make arrests in Israel?
Of course not—so let's stop playing dumb.

Trump isn't even trying to hide why he attacked Venezuela: OIL. Americans don't want a war with Venezuela—especially not one to enrich oil executives.
Oil profits are not worth putting American lives at risk.
No war. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003.
Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

President Trump is ignoring the problems he has caused in our OWN country, all to start a war NO ONE asked for in Venezuela with no legitimate justification, no concern for the servicemembers being put in harm’s way, and absolutely NO long-term strategy.

More like "the dangers of Republican politicians who want to ban abortion and control women's bodies."
Looking forward to discussing the science that unequivocally shows mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential.

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold.
Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels."
I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.

There is no reason to think the same President—now bolder than ever in challenging our Constitution—won’t try, once again, to get his way through threats and violence.
I won't let Trump rewrite history, and we ALL must use our voices & votes to protect our democracy.

After getting sworn in, Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 rioters.
He didn't care if they beat cops or how dangerous they were. Now so many of them are back in jail for OTHER crimes like child pornography & kidnapping.
Trump endorses violence as long as it's in service to Trump.

These people hardly believe in anything. They lied to the American people to win an election, and now we're all paying the price.
I opposed the war in Iraq from the outset, and I will oppose any war in Venezuela as well.

I met with local leaders in Whatcom County today to see and discuss the damage caused by historic flooding last month. I will do everything I can in the Other Washington to help recover and rebuild.
This next phase won't be easy—but together, we will get through it.
