There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

ICYMI: I hosted a press conference with faith leaders across our community to stand against Trump’s cuts to food assistance.

Feeding the hungry is a moral obligation. Yet Trump continues to fight court orders to fully fund SNAP.

Throughout this entire Republican shutdown, Trump has taken every opportunity to disrespect and threaten hardworking federal workers — many of whom are showing up without pay.

The truly patriotic thing to do would be to save health care and protect workers.

The American people, in my district and across the country, want us to hold the line to protect health care.

Premium notices have gone out, and open enrollment has started. We cannot cave for some future vote down the road. We need to stand up and hold the line NOW.
November 10, 2025 at 5:26 PM
Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Millions of hungry Americans are not getting their SNAP benefits — because of Trump and Republicans.

Millions of families are worried about health care costs skyrocketing next year — because of Trump and Republicans.

Democrats will keep fighting for working people.

I met with folks from Lifelong to discuss their work — providing meals for folks dealing with illness and stigma.

As folks face uncertainty over when or even if they’ll get their SNAP benefits, organizations like Lifelong are critical to keeping people fed.

The American people spoke loud and clear on Tuesday night.

They are against Trump and Republicans slashing the benefits that people rely on. They want Democrats to fight back, hold the line, and lower health care costs for millions of families.
November 9, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown.

But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.
November 8, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Democrats are holding the line to save your health care.

It’s time for Republicans to negotiate a deal to open the government and protect health care for millions of Americans.
November 8, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Republicans cannot be trusted. Any deal to end this shutdown MUST include an extension of ACA tax credits that will stop health care costs from rising for millions of Americans next year.

Not concepts of a plan. Not a promise. A law to save health care.
November 8, 2025 at 5:49 PM
In July, Trump and Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, kicking 15 million people off health care.

Now, they’re refusing to extend ACA tax credits, meaning premiums could double or triple for 22 million Americans next year.

Democrats are fighting back to protect health care.
November 8, 2025 at 3:27 AM
This is insane. Trump is jumping through hoops to block SNAP. Follow the law, fund SNAP, and feed American families.
November 8, 2025 at 2:06 AM
Trump said it himself: The American people know who’s responsible for this crisis — Republicans.

It’s time for them to come to the table and negotiate a deal that protects health care and opens the government.

Starting today, the FAA is reducing flight traffic by 10 percent at 40 airports across the country — including at SeaTac.

This is unprecedented and will have huge impacts for travelers. Republicans must come to the table to end this NOW.

The violence and cruelty that Trump’s ICE is inflicting on our communities is unacceptable. The American people are seeing it with their own eyes, and they are horrified. It must end.
November 7, 2025 at 11:10 PM
It’s day 38 of the Republican Shutdown — the longest in American history.

Trump and Republicans are still refusing to negotiate a plan to save health care for millions of American families.

Democrats won’t stop fighting to lower your costs and protect your care.
November 7, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Premiums are rising now. Rural hospitals are closing now. The health care crisis is now.

We cannot agree to a half-promise of a vote down the road. We need to address this now.

Donald Trump’s airstrikes across Latin America and the Caribbean have killed at least 66 people with zero due process and represent an appalling violation of international law.

Congress holds the constitutional authority to authorize the use of military force. My full statement:

Donald Trump simply does not care that Americans can’t afford to put food on the table, pay rent, or go to the doctor.
November 7, 2025 at 5:25 PM
House Republicans simply don’t want to work anymore.

Mike Johnson sent the House home more than six weeks ago. Democrats have been in D.C., ready to negotiate an end to this Republican Shutdown that saves health care for the American people.

Where the hell are Republicans?

In the 61 year history of SNAP, the program has never missed payments — until now, because of Donald Trump.

Trump could send out SNAP benefits today. Multiple judges have ordered him to, and the government has the money. But he’s still refusing.

Fully fund SNAP now.

Sudan is experiencing the largest humanitarian crisis ever recorded.

12 million people have been displaced — that is the population of the state of Georgia. And more than 635,000 people are facing famine.

We must push for an arms embargo on Sudan and get aid in immediately.
November 7, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Any deal to end this Republican Shutdown must save our health care and lower skyrocketing premium costs.

Millions of Americans made their voices heard on Tuesday night. Trump has to come to the table, negotiate, and work with Democrats to lower health care prices.
November 7, 2025 at 2:36 PM
Trump told Americans he was going to go after the “worst of the worst.”

Instead, ICE is kidnapping people of all legal statuses, including U.S. citizens, and disappearing them with zero accountability.

Americans are fed up with this cruelty and we are not going to let it stand.
