Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.”
I don’t want to be their damn conscience.
I want them to vote their conscience.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

I’m in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, today, deep red country—remember the video of the woman being dragged out of a town hall by goons? That was here. Town of 44 k. 1,000 turned out to protest. North of here, in even more extremist county, smaller town, 700. That’s a little good, brave news.

I will not vote to weaken my power to fight for WA state.
I will not vote to turn YOUR taxpayer dollars into Trump & Elon's personal slush funds.
I will vote NO. We should pass my short term CR, avoid a shutdown, and do our jobs.

Republicans are working hard to pretend Trump inherited a bad economy.
He was handed an economy that analysts thought had no chance of recession and was expected to grow by 2.5%
We will need lots of visuals like this. They are destroying a good economy

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:
Trump tariffs are illegal.
Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.
President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.
