Musk’s DOGE is anything but efficient—and now the WA GOP wants one here. HB 2076 would create WA’s own DOGE, but it’s just a power grab that wastes taxpayer dollars and hurts Washingtonians.

To defeat Republicans and make a difference in working people’s lives, the Democratic Party must grow stronger.

I'm sharing today my plan to build a Party that wins voters’ trust and wins elections everywhere—and at every level of the ballot.

Candidate Trump promised to lower grocery prices, but now it seems he isn't even going to try.

While champagne corks pop at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Trump says that he can't really lower grocery prices because it's "very hard."

Sad. It’s the start of a broken promise.

As a second-generation Irish American, my grandfather shared stories about his experiences when he first arrived in the US, highlighting the discrimination he faced and how he was treated. He instilled in me the importance of standing up against injustice. I will continue to stand against MAGA.

No matter what the Trump administration throws at us, we’ll keep fighting to ensure that every Washingtonian can make their own decisions about their body and have access to the care they need.

Today in Oversight:

Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned.

How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?

Remember not to get caught up in doom scrolling about what Trump is doing. Mental health is critical. Focus on the things that bring you joy at this point.

Trump’s Cabinet picks are a nightmare come true: an anti-vaxxer to lead health policy, a Fox News talking head with zero experience for defense, and Matt Gaetz—under investigation—for attorney general. These appointments are reckless and dangerous.

Great news for the Lummi Nation! Thanks to our Dem leaders, they will receive nearly $11 MILLION in federal funding to revitalize Fisherman’s Cove Marina Dock. This will support over 500 fishers, boost the local economy, and strengthen the Salish Sea!
