Families are paying the price for Trump’s reckless war with Iran. Since the war began, the average household has had to pay an extra $2,000.

Washingtonians are paying over $5/gallon for gas & $7/gallon for diesel. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Health care, housing, & child care are all becoming increasingly unaffordable. Instead of trying to fix this mess, the president is focused on yet another vanity project. cnn.com/2026/10/19/politics/…

Meta is trying to use a federal program meant to foster innovation to fund its massive data center buildout. That’s why I’m leading the charge in Congress to fight against this potential abuse of the tax credit & stand up for our communities. semafor.com/article/10/15/20…

Thanks to Apple Health, Dawn was able to get the care she needed & could afford to stay in her home.     Republican cuts to Medicaid are set to take this vital lifeline away for hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians.

Trump is using his ridiculous ballroom as yet another pay-to-play scheme in his administration.     New documents reveal donors to the project were rewarded with lucrative government contracts, relaxed regulations, & a pardon for a family member.     The president is only interested in how he can use the office to benefit himself, not the American people.   washingtonpost.com/investiga…

Bellevue is home to so many incredible innovators that are developing the technology of tomorrow.     I joined the Bellevue Chamber to highlight the importance of supporting our local space sector.

Truly no words for the absolute horror of what unfolded at Silver Rail Elementary today. Schools should be safe havens for our children, not places of unthinkable violence. My heart is completely broken for the victims, their families, & the entire Bend community grappling with this tragedy. Incredibly grateful to local law enforcement & first responders who rushed to protect students & staff. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

I stand in strong support with @CongressmanRaja, his family, Indian American, & Hindu communities across the country. No one should have to live in fear of violence for how they worship. Grateful for the swift actions of law enforcement that handled this threat. As a nation, we must vehemently condemn violence & hatred in all forms.

Forget Trump’s so-called “Golden Age of America”    The president just broke the record for the most days ever with gas prices over $4 per gallon.

The American Dream is now unaffordable in Trump’s America. Inflation is out of control & families can’t keep up with skyrocketing housing, health care, & education costs. investopedia.com/the-2026-am…

Honored to receive the Washington State Alliance for Retired Americans’ Senior Champion & Hero awards.     Seniors deserve to retire with dignity, & I’ll continue my work fighting for them in Congress.

Trump’s tariffs & war with Iran have sent prices skyrocketing & families are struggling to keep up. He claimed he would lower costs Day 1, but now everything is more expensive. Republicans in Congress refuse to act & only care about rubberstamping the president’s agenda. The American people deserve better than a broken promise. abcnews.com/Business/inflati…

Great to meet with my new Youth Advisory Council. I’m looking forward to working with these incredible students to make a difference in our community & ensure their voices are heard in Congress.

Whales & Dolphins are treasures to the PNW & belong free in the wild. That’s why I’m pushing to protect these magnificent creatures & ban breeding & capture.
