House Republicans are playing a dangerous game with access to affordable healthcare. Their refusal to extend ACA funding threatens to cause premiums to skyrocket for millions. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting to stop Republicans’ reckless attempt to dismantle our healthcare.

Last week at Renton High School, we started a campaign to increase the FAFSA completion rate in Washington. Let’s move from being one of the lowest-ranked states in completing the form, to one of the best. The FAFSA opens on October 1st.

Donald Trump loves to talk tough, but when he has to actually lead, negotiate, or deliver—he runs away. He runs. He hides. He ignores. That’s not strength. That’s weakness. This is going to be Donald Trump’s shutdown.

Tapes never lie. It’s all coming out.

Great to tour Centro Cultural Mexicano, learn more about their work, & see their upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month Art Exhibition opening Thursday. From cultural events to youth programs, they’re making a real difference in our community.

The lives of thousands of Granite Staters across generations have been changed for the better because of the very programs that the Trump Administration has put on the chopping block. I will not stop working to deliver every penny that was promised to New Hampshire.

✈️ Marking the departure of the final A-10s in Maryland as the 175th Wing. Airmen of the 175th Wing have participated in everything from air defense and peacekeeping to relief missions. They’re also the only multi-domain Wing in the Air Force.

We have just one week left until a Republican government shutdown. Democrats are ready to pass a bill that keeps millions of Americans from getting kicked off their health care. Trump and Republicans won’t even come to the table to negotiate.

Now, we keep moving Los Angeles forward — fighting homelessness, improving public safety, and building a better future for every Angeleno.

I directed our General Manager of Personnel to terminate layoff proceedings following agreements we reached to avert all remaining civil service layoffs. Together, we saved jobs and preserved vital city services.

This is completely unacceptable. Sacramentans need to take notice. Nexstar is trying to double its footprint in our community. I’ll certainly be watching closely. [3/3]

It’s infuriating but hardly surprising that Sinclair will be putting its right-wing agenda ahead of the interests of its viewers. But it’s especially disappointing to see Nexstar put its pursuit of favor with the FCC on behalf of its multi-billion-dollar merger ahead of the First Amendment. [2/3]

I’ll be tuning into Jimmy Kimmel tonight and certainly hope he will be given the free rein he deserves. But millions of Americans won’t be able to because Sinclair and Nexstar have taken him off the air. [1/3]

I'm joining @cnn.com NewsNight with Abby Phillip at 10PM EST. Tune in.

Minnesota is home to some of the best health care systems in the world. But Republicans in Washington are putting the affordability of that care at risk. We will do everything we can at the state level to help Minnesotans receive the care they need without breaking the bank.

The grass seed in your backyard. Roma tomatoes. Plump Thanksgiving turkeys. Pest control and disease prevention in crops… and MUCH more is made possible by the groundbreaking research at the Maryland BARC facility Trump wants to close. We can't let it happen.

Gathered with people young and old, students and seniors, at Old No. 1 in Morris on my 13-county rural tour. Thanks to owners Matt & Meredith for showing me around. Lots of concerns about tariffs and health care. We need to stand up for small towns.

Trump’s tariff taxes aren’t just driving the prices of your groceries higher. His chaotic economic policy is also hurting American businesses and undermining our global interests. With every democratic partner Trump alienates, our autocratic foes in Beijing and Moscow welcome them with open arms.

Kathy and I are wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah across Wisconsin a happy new year! Shanah Tovah! 🍎🍯

Republicans are marching our country toward a shutdown in 7 days. Here’s what that means for you: ❌ Longer lines at the airport ❌ Limited Social Security services ❌ Delayed veteran benefits ❌ Closed National Parks Everyday Americans pay the price—because they refused to negotiate.

Early childhood education & care is essential. Proud to deliver $425K to help the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center provide high-quality, accessible early childhood education for families in Chinatown and across the MA-7th.

El Salvador’s prisons are sites of torture and abuse. Yet the Trump Administration has sent legal residents there—in violation of international and U.S. law. I led 17 colleagues in demanding Secretary Rubio & Secretary Noem end these renditions. Read more ⬇️

Thank you to the teachers & school leaders who joined my educator forum last night to discuss the challenges our schools face & how I can support them at the federal level. I’m going to continue working to ensure our classrooms have what they need to help our kids excel.

It was a privilege to meet with leaders from Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Brazil during the first day of #ClimateWeekNYC. Together, we can cut pollution, protect our ecosystems, and keep building economies that work for both people and our planet.
