Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war.
VOTE!
Just outright disgusting and hateful garbage.
Trump is focused on spewing this garbage instead of doing anything to make life more affordable for Americans.
A total disgrace.
From measles to foodborne illnesseses, Trump and RFK Jr. have torn apart public health and completely disregarded basic science.
I'm working to fix it.
Washington state: it’s time to make your voice heard.
Fill out your ballot and bring it to a drop box near you now through Election Day – the earlier the better.
$4,700 more. That’s how much extra Trump’s tariffs and Trump’s war have cost the average American family.
Republicans promised lower prices on day ONE. It's been 600+ days.
Trump is weaponizing America's Department of Justice to argue that elections can only be certified if Republicans win.
This is historic corruption, but he doesn't get the final word. We do at the ballot box. VOTE!
BREAKING: DOJ is suing Alaska to block certification of election results if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.

Republicans think the only way to save Social Security is to cut benefits—they just talk in euphemisms.
Democrats have better solutions, like finally scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.
Trump is literally trying to use marriage and birth rates to decide how much federal funding YOUR community might get for transit projects.
He is weaponizing federal grants to wage his regressive culture war, and your commute is collateral damage.
Parents can’t go to work if they can’t find child care. Child care IS infrastructure.
Let's PASS universal child care.
Cutting Medicaid doesn’t save money. It closes rural hospitals.
Democrats will push to repeal Trump's $1 trillion health care cuts.
This is the most corrupt President in history. Trump is trying to extort voters—saying he won’t help veterans if this state doesn’t vote his way.
We’ve already seen him illegally withhold funds from “blue” states.
We can send this crook a message with our votes and our voice.
NO. Congress funds FEMA to respond to disasters that REQUIRE federal support.
Trump's already politicized disaster relief—an unforgivable and unAmerican transgression that I don't plan on forgetting.
He doesn't get to wave a magic wand and abolish FEMA. I'm fighting back.
BREAKING:
Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.
The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help. politico.com/news/2026/10/20…
Women are 50% of the population, but less than 0.1% NIH's budget is spent on menopause and just 8% on women's health overall.
I talked to @drrachelrubin and Dr. Kelly Casperson about why we need more research on menopause and how my bipartisan bill would do that.
So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts?
What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!
Trump: "When you do these things, sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when. So I am going to do something which I think people will like -- I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. I'll determine whether the person is deserving ... there's nothing in this for me"
Trump and RFK Jr. have put our public health system on life support.
We can't just rebuild what they've broken; we have to build a stronger public health system and protect it from anti-science political interference going forward.
You paid into it. You earned it.
Now Republicans want to call it a "Ponzi scheme."
My message? Hands off Social Security.
Trump wants to squeeze families who are already struggling with their student debt, after already raising their prices on everything from gas to health care.
Absolutely not. I'll be pushing back.
The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them.
The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms. washingtonsun.com/economy/tr…
