IRS leader Bisignano declines to answer questions over unlawful taxpayer data disclosures to ICE IRS chief Frank Bisignano has largely declined to answer questions from lawmakers about unlawful releases of taxpayer data to immigration agents.

The IRS has damaged Americans’ trust by sharing confidential tax data with DHS & ICE.

I grilled IRS CEO Bisignano repeatedly on how the Trump admin is working to restore that trust.

He refused to say how he will resolve this issue.

The American people deserve to know the plan & justification before rushing into war. That’s why the Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war – not a singular person.

@adamsmith.house.gov & I discussed the importance of voting for today’s War Powers Resolution.

The American people are demanding accountability & it doesn’t stop with one firing. That’s why I’m fighting for stronger legal guardrails & real oversight.

Under Kristi Noem’s failed leadership at Homeland Security, innocent Americans were brutally killed in broad daylight & ICE agents created violence & terror in our communities. It’s long past time she was fired.

Gas prices have been rising in Washington & across the country. In just a month, the price of gas jumped 43 cents, & spiked in the last week because of the president’s war in Iran.

The Trump administration illegally shared personal taxpayer data with DHS & ICE over 42,000 times.

I pressed IRS CEO Bisignano today on this mishandling of sensitive information & breach of trust with the American people.

Spoke with @wadepthealth.bsky.social Sec. Worsham about how we keep Washingtonians healthy and the serious threats facing our state’s health care system - from canceled research grants to reduced vaccine access.

The Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war to prevent unilateral decisions by a king. Congress should pass a bipartisan War Powers Resolution this week to limit this action & provide the American people with answers & transparency.

Americans deserve an open debate about the goals & costs of Trump’s war in Iran. The President has yet to explain to Congress or the American people its objectives or estimated duration.

Trump’s chaotic tariffs are putting farms out of business & raising grocery prices on families. 15,000 family farms were lost last year, including 300 in Washington.

The Constitution clearly says states run elections NOT the federal government.

Democrats & Republicans must stand up to this coordinated effort to take away your voice & your vote.

Trump & Republicans call affordability a hoax but working families call it a crisis.

Democrats are fighting to lower costs.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump’s sweeping tariffs are illegal. This is a big win for families & small businesses that have seen their prices go up.

The president is not a king. We’re going to keep fighting if the administration continues to ignore congressional authority.

Had a great day in Lynnwood with Mayor Hurst!

As the city grows, residents need access to programs that help them live, work, & thrive. That’s why I also stopped by the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center to see the health care, cultural, & housing services they offer right in the community.

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to justice, equality, & improving civil rights. His fearless advocacy changed the nation & gave a voice to so many.

My thoughts are with his loved ones. May his legacy live on.

New report from Democrats: TrumpRx drugs could cost thousands more than generics Democrats looked at the cost of the name-brand drugs on TrumpRx. Turns out, Americans could save thousands per year on many prescriptions by just purchasing generics.

Trump is touting a new prescription drug website, but it could end up costing you more. The platform funnels people towards expensive brand-name drugs while avoiding cheaper generics.

We need real solutions to lower health care costs, not smoke & mirrors.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

Trump is giving fossil fuel companies a free pass to pollute at the expense of our health.

The admin is dismantling our ability to protect communities from greenhouse gases & will make kids sicker, push prices higher, & destroy our environment.
