From the Congressional Budget Office: Foreign countries pay 5% of Trump's tariffs — Americans, YOU, pay the other 95%.

These TAXES on working families are driving up prices and making life unaffordable.

Trump tried to imprison Senators for stating the law, saying things he didn't like.

This is a disgusting and corrupt abuse of power—as un-American as it gets.

But guess what? Trump doesn't call all of the shots. And the PEOPLE rejected this sham indictment. Keep speaking out.

RFK Jr. is now blocking an updated flu vaccine for NO reason grounded in science.

American vaccine policy has been hijacked by a conspiracy theorist—yet most Republicans are happy to just sit on their hands.

They are allowing FDA policy to be dictated by DELUSION.
FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine
The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

This is what Trump is calling the "Golden Age."

He turns tariffs off and on like a toddler with a light switch and YOU foot the bill.

Hey @mayorofseattle.bsky.social—tens of millions in funding for child care and housing are headed your way!

I said I'd tear up Trump's budget and write a new one, so that's what I did.

The spending bills I negotiated outright REJECT Trump's awful housing & homelessness funding cuts.

Ghislaine Maxwell is not just a convicted child sex trafficker—she is also a serial abuser of many of Epstein's victims.

It's bad enough that Trump moved her to a prison so lax it's called "Club Fed", but ANY kind of pardon needs to be COMPLETELY RULED OUT.

You've got to take the good news when you can get it, and I'm going to be celebrating our Seahawks for a WHILE.

So I just HAD to congratulate our Seahawks on the Senate floor today. Just goes to show you can't spell Washington state without a big W! 💚💙🙌 🙌 🙌💙💚

State of the economy:

📈Sky-high grocery prices
📉Worst January for hiring since 2009
📉The value of the dollar is down 10%

Trump: “I'm very proud of it.”
Trump accepts ownership of the current economy: 'I'm very proud of it'
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, the president said the country is already experiencing the "Trump economy."

RFK Jr. has been pushing anti-vax conspiracies for decades, so it's ABSURD to see his colleagues try to pretend that he's actually been pro-vaccines.

And this measles outbreak isn't just on RFK Jr.—it's on everyone who enables his dangerous grift.
BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

BASH: Oh, come on

Trump & Noem's masked ICE agents aren't going after the worst of the worst—they're randomly targeting innocent people, detaining children, trampling Americans' basic rights, and killing U.S. citizens.

This is not even remotely acceptable. ICE & CBP must be reined in.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

1 in 30 NIH clinical trials were disrupted by the Trump administration last year.

Those are real people, who had their hope for a lifesaving cure delayed for absolutely no reason.

I asked NIH's Director what he has to say to those patients.

The Trump Effect 📉
The greenback’s value has been shaved by more than 10 percent since President Trump returned to the White House.

The U.S. dollar is under pressure on multiple fronts, particularly Trump’s erratic policymaking involving tariffs and military action. https://wapo.st/4a5NWrv

That's called stealing. Trump is STEALING your taxpayer dollars to pay himself.

Repulsive.

This President is a disgrace and every Republican should have to answer for Trump's disgusting behavior.

I am so glad Randy is home after being illegally detained by ICE—and I am furious that this happened in the first place.

ICE & CBP are out of control. I will do everything I can to rein in these rogue agents.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights.

 He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands."

 Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

$85 million in federal funding for bus rapid transit is headed your way, @mayorspokane.bsky.social! 🚌🚌🚌

I was proud to secure this funding for Spokane. Investing in public transit connects our communities, strengthens our economy, and gets people where they need to go!
