Today, Medicare and Medicaid turned 60 years old — and as Trump and Republicans work to cut these programs and rip health care from Americans, Democrats are instead working to protect and expand them. We’ll keep fighting for quality, affordable health care for all.

From the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to airdrops, recent efforts to get aid into Gaza have been wholly ineffective and insufficient. The United States cannot be complicit in starving Gaza. We must stop supplying the Israeli government with offensive weapons.

Might as well call it the Environmental Destruction Agency because that’s all they’re doing. Denying the climate crisis and removing the government’s ability to protect our air and water. Trump and Republicans are selling us out to Big Oil billionaires.

We are going to make sure every single Republican who voted to strip away our health care is held accountable. It’s time to stand up and fight back to cancel these cuts.

Another example of ICE kidnapping a LEGAL RESIDENT and denying them access to a lawyer with no explanation. Trump’s secret police have zero oversight or accountability.

The federal government should protect you from the impacts of climate change, like dangerous storms and polluted air — but Trump’s EPA is trying to undo that. Why? So his Big Oil billionaire donors can get even richer.

The proposal is President Trump’s most consequential step yet to derail federal climate efforts and appears to represent a shift toward outright denial of the scientific consensus.

Awdah Hathaleen was a journalist and activist working toward justice. His killing is a tragedy. I was proud to show No Other Land in the Capitol — to bring its message from the West Bank to lawmakers. My heart goes out to his family and those mourning.

Thanks to Trump and Republicans' Big Bad Betrayal, at least two dozen hospitals in WA are at risk of closing. These closures will affect all of us — in big cities and small rural towns.

As many as 250,000 residents could lose Medicaid coverage in Washington. That reduction would mean fewer patients can pay at hospitals that are already struggling.

For over a year and a half, the Israeli government has repeatedly used weapons supplied by the U.S. to indiscriminately kill people in Gaza, violating American and international humanitarian laws. Now, they are using hunger as a weapon of war. As Pope Leo said, it is barbaric.

“Minimal” amounts of aid will not save thousands from starvation and death. The Israeli government must provide a real, long-term solution to get meaningful food and resources into Gaza.

Homelessness and poverty are not personal failures. They are policy failures. We need to invest in affordable housing so that every American can have the tools they need to succeed.
