Great news for Washington's Ninth District. Today, the House of Representatives passed a package that will deliver $6,316,000 in community project funds back to our community in WA-09. These Community Project Funding investments reflect what our communities are asking for — cleaner water, safer neighborhoods, and more opportunities for young people to succeed. I will continue fighting to ensure federal resources are directed where they can make the greatest local impact.

President Trump is now allowing the import of Russian diesel, disregarding the law and the United States’ support of Ukraine during this years-long war. As diesel costs continue to soar with the war in Iran, experts are casting doubt that Russia will be able to supply much given the condition of their energy infrastructure. Ukraine is not to blame for high fuel prices—Donald Trump is.

There is always support available for those struggling in relationships, and I thank the participants at the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Roundtable for speaking more about resources to lift up those in need. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, it's important to fund programs used to lift up survivors and those impacted, and appreciate our participants for taking the time to participate in this conversation.

The President is disconnected from reality.

President Trump will continue to push a radical, anti-democratic agenda, and we need to get serious about how we're going to stop him.

Donald Trump and Republican policies have made lives harder and more expensive for our nation’s seniors. The war of choice in Iran and tariffs have driven up costs not just on gas and groceries, but the inflated costs are hurting seniors with fixed incomes. I remain dedicated to protecting Social Security and defending the earned benefits of our older neighbors.

The only thing that's going to get a peace deal is to put pressure on Russia, yet President Trump continues to put pressure on Ukraine.

I visited United Way of King County President and CEO in Seattle to speak with their team about recent work to bring a better future to our community. By establishing access to housing, food security, educational opportunities, and financial stability, United Way is building a stronger foundation for our neighbors.

Thanks to Kandelia and Seattle World School for giving me a tour of their facility in Seattle. Great to see the programs and services you’re implementing to support our immigrant and refugee families across our community. Looking forward to coming back.

Unchecked settler violence in the West Bank is unacceptable. Within the last several days, Palestinians, European diplomats, and American journalist Heidi Levine have faced horrifying attacks by settlers. Condemnations, opening of investigations, and the arrest of 10 settlers today is a start, but far more must be done to rein in settler violence. When Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government retroactively legalizes outposts, when Finance Minister Smotrich and National Security Minister Ben-Gvir openly support settlement expansion, and when settlement projects such as E1 are allowed to proceed, all these actions enable further settler violence. We must ensure perpetrators of instability in the West Bank are held accountable. Congress should pass the West Bank Violence Prevention Act, legislation I introduced with Representatives Nadler and Himes that would sanction individuals and entities destabilizing the West Bank. Those threatening peace and stability in the West Bank must face consequences to prevent further terror and unrest.

Earlier today, my district office received a suspicious letter containing a powdery substance, like others sent to Congressional offices across the country. My staff has been safely evacuated, and I thank the Kent Police Department and the Renton Fire Department for their quick action.

Trump is both turning his back on Ukraine and doing nothing to address our nation's energy crisis.

The Clean Water Act has been fighting water pollution for over 50 years. By setting wastewater standards, maintaining water quality, and improving pollution treatment, more Americans and wildlife are able to enjoy our nation’s water sources.
