Medicare for All is gaining even more support!

These organizations know that our current healthcare system is broken and that healthcare should be a human right.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Giant corporations that pay nothing in federal taxes are investing big into politics. And the return on investment is HUGE — 3,000%.

We need to get big money out of politics.

The Trump administration has now signed off on the Paramount-Warner Bros merger.

This is corruption — from corporate lobbying, to the silencing of the media. It’s also clearly bad for our economy and consumers. States must continue to pursue every option to challenge this.

Today is the 14th anniversary of the DACA program.

Dreamers deserve to live here in their home without fear. Congress must pass permanent protections and pathways to citizenship.

I’m so proud to represent Seattle, one of the host cities for this year’s World Cup.

It is truly a special moment to meet and welcome everyone here. I can’t wait to watch this week’s games — go Team USA!

@MonopolyBusters Chairs on @JusticeATR waving through Paramount-Warner:

"This antitrust nightmare is exactly the kind of corporate power grab our laws were written to stop. The Trump administration has made it clear whose side it’s on and it’s not yours." Full statement below.

ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens. But yet, Trump has let them operate lawlessly, and they have detained citizens for days and weeks at a time.

I introduced an amendment to finally put an end to this.

The Sudanese people are caught in the crossfire of two warring parties who don’t care about the safety of civilians.

We cannot ignore this crisis.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

The humanitarian crisis that we’re seeing in Sudan has killed 400,000 civilians, displaced 14 million people, and caused a catastrophic level of hunger.

The U.S. has the power to end this proxy war in Sudan, and must act to do so.

The US is supposed to be welcoming people from across the globe for the World Cup.

But thanks to Trump’s racist travel ban, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, a Somali referee, was denied entry to the country. This xenophobia is unacceptable. https://t.co/lLGBvDIfjt

Here are some of the emails I read in the Epstein files this week.

Everyone involved in this ring of predators must be held accountable.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I am outraged by reports that the Trump Administration has attempted to raid the offices of legal service providers serving unaccompanied immigrant children.

We cannot allow this behavior to go unchecked. My full statement:

In the Nation’s edition, recognizing America’s 250th anniversary, I wrote about how the American Dream that I have lived is out of reach for immigrants today.

Ten years ago, 49 people were killed at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.

Today, as we honor the victims, survivors, and their loved ones, we also recommit ourselves to working to end gun violence, hate, and bigotry in all its forms.

Trump plans to deport over two dozen individuals to the Central African Republic, including two Iranian women with no criminal record who sought refuge in the US.

This is absurd – the US officially advises against any travel there. This flight must be stopped. https://t.co/JQoycB9jWs

Today, I toured the Epstein Reading Room with many of the courageous survivors who are lifting up the horrors of Epstein’s trafficking ring and fighting for accountability.

If you’re in DC, you can visit this exhibit until Sunday. Reserve a time today: https://t.co/CMAnnMxgCD

Today I voted no on this sham extension of FISA that would allow continued spying on the American people. A warrant requirement would pass today if Republican leadership put it up for a vote. However, Trump is doubling down on his appointment of Bill Pulte, closing any pathways for negotiation. I voted no today, and will continue to vote no until a warrant requirement is in place to protect our civil liberties.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

After all this talk about a supposed deal, Trump is threatening to hit Iran “very hard" and take control of their oil.

This is exactly why the House passed a bipartisan resolution to stop this illegal war. ENOUGH.
