Donald Trump & his GOP have unleashed higher costs on working Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

The result: Costs are up, jobs are down, & the GOP is driving us towards recession.

On Tuesday, voters across WA & our nation rejected this failed leadership.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are spearheading a health care disaster.

Do better - stop the attacks on health care and stop raising costs.

Republicans shut down our government rather than work w/ Democrats to stop your health care premiums from going up.

Republicans are raising your health care costs while refusing to come to the table to help lower costs.

And: They’re still on vacation.

We're 20 days into the Republican Shutdown. Republicans still haven't:

❌ Done anything to lower costs

❌ Offered any ideas to protect health care rather than cut it

❌ Come to the table to negotiate a bipartisan plan to stop price spikes for health care

❌ Cut their vacation short

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have shut down our federal government.

Why?

They want to continue to strip away health care from millions of Americans.

Republicans have gutted health care to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. WA's rural hospitals - a lifeline for so many in our communities - face closure.

I’m fighting to reverse this extreme Republican attack on health care & make it more affordable.

Costs are up, jobs are down, and the GOP is driving us towards a recession.

Americans deserve better.

Americans deserve policies that lower costs and put the American Dream back within reach.

The Trump tariffs are raising costs for working Americans and killing jobs - all while the Republican budget plan cuts health care and services that people rely on.

Our state’s working families, and economy, are paying the price.

Thank you to the members of the International Union of Operating Engineers 612 for having me and for all of your support! I'll always stand with you and stand for the right to collectively bargain in the face of attacks on unions and working people.

Longer wait times for people who work for a living.

Money running out and benefits in doubt.

Chaos.

This is the threat the GOP budget plan poses to Social Security.

Labor Day is a celebration of workers and the labor unions that support them.

The victories of America’s labor movement - like workplace safety protections and collective bargaining rights - helped build our middle class.

Donald Trump and his extreme allies in Congress are doing all they can to distract us.

Why? Because Americans’ costs keep going up, all while Republicans work to give tax breaks to billionaires.

This is the Trump economy - and middle-class Americans are paying the price.
August 22, 2025 at 3:46 AM
It’s pretty simple:

The Republican plan takes away health care from millions of people so they can pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires.

It’s going to hurt people and hurt our economy.

They lied about helping you and your family economically.

Early this morning, House Republicans voted to pass Donald Trump’s Big Bogus Budget Bill.

I voted NO. How extreme is this budget plan? Even two Republicans joined me in voting against it.

If the Senate passes this bill and President Trump signs it into law, here's what would happen:

Our service members answered the call to serve. Having the chance to start a family shouldn’t be a sacrifice they are forced to make.

Everyone who serves in the military should have access to world-class fertility care if they want it.
