I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Cascade PBS has chosen to eliminate its newsroom and lay off 17 union workers. As a former Crosscut columnist, I believe strongly in long-form, local journalism. Seattle needs a thriving local news ecosystem. #thisisyourcity

I am demanding the immediate release of Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, a decorated and disabled veteran, detained during a citizenship interview today. My office has been in contact with the family and are working with Rep. Smith, Sen. Cantwell, and Sen. Murray’s offices to bring Mr. Chaudhry home.

Agents have detained Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, a disabled U.S. military vet and outspoken critic of U.S.-led war, after his naturalization hearing today at the Tukwila, WA ICE office. His wife, Melissa Chaudhry, ran against Rep. Adam Smith last year on a pro-Palestine platform.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Trump is dismantling the CFPB — an agency that has returned $21 BILLION to consumers and stood up to corporate greed.
Democrats used this agency to fight for working people. Republicans are tearing it apart to give back to billionaires. Let’s break down some examples ⬇️

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.
Violence like this has no place in a democracy.
I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
