In 2025, WA’s electricity bills skyrocketed by 13.2%. Thanks to Trump and the GOP siding with fossil fuel corporations over cheaper green sources of energy. They gutted clean-energy investments, leaving Washingtonians in the dark.

Millions of students, teachers, and administrators in Washington depend on the Department of Education. No matter what your background is, education is for everyone. Dismantling the Department of Education puts all that at risk.

Destroying the Department of Education will hurt all students, sending class sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making college more expensive for middle class families, and taking away special education services—just to start.

It's funny how Trump never talks about how all of his policies combined will make the rich even richer while raising costs for everyone else.

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.
