Over Labor Day weekend, ICE detained five family members camping in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie Forest area. I’m demanding transparency into USFS’s potential coordination with ICE to make these arrests & possible misuse of taxpayer funds during wildfire season.

Alonzo relies on his Apple Health coverage for physical therapy. But looming cuts to Medicaid from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill are set to jeopardize his & his family’s care because of needless paperwork requirements.

Since Trump’s AI Medicare experiment began, it has led to needless delays & denials in care for Washington seniors. New documents reveal the administration wants to apply it to cancer treatments & air ambulances next – things that cannot wait days for answers. www.heraldnet.com/2026/10/02/t...

Republican Medicaid cuts are set to rip away care from the most vulnerable. I toured Compass Health Marc Healing Center, a mental & behavioral health crisis center in Everett, & spoke with the team about how these cuts will impact patients. Thank you for everything you do for our community!

It’s appalling for the President of the United States to call on a foreign power to take out an American city. Trump started this war & has no idea how to end it. It’s past time for Republicans in Congress to take a stand & put a stop to this conflict.

This weekend my office hosted our annual App-A-Thon at UW Bothell to prepare students entering the Congressional App Challenge. As a lifelong tech geek, I love seeing what they come up with!

The price of Trump’s disastrous agenda keeps ticking up. New estimates show that WA families have had to pay an additional $4,800 more for everyday expenses since the president took office

We asked the Trump administration’s new AI chatbot some important questions. It was surprisingly honest.

Investing in apprentice programs & career education is essential in developing a strong workforce. I had the pleasure of touring IAM 751’s Machinists Institute, which provides cutting-edge training for current & future workers.

Great to celebrate 50 years of Community Transit & the work they do to connect communities throughout Snohomish County.

Great to welcome Mark Wiseman for his first visit to WA as Canadian ambassador! Canada is one of our most important allies, & I’ll continue to fight back against Trump’s harmful trade war that is hurting our strong partnership.

From skyrocketing diesel prices due to the war in Iran to senseless tariffs, farmers in WA & across the country are paying the price for Trump’s disastrous policies.

Trump’s vanity projects are expected to cost nearly $1.8 billion. Here are some ways the president could have used these funds to make life more affordable & bring down costs.

Republican Medicaid work requirements in their Big Ugly Bill take full effect in January. Washingtonians are already sounding the alarm on how these cuts will undermine care. Listen to these stories from our community.

The Trump administration’s experimental AI program incentivizes private companies to delay & deny Medicare treatments in WA & 5 other states. I’m fighting to get answers from the administration on how this is impacting our seniors. They’ve yet to provide any real transparency or accountability.

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene @repdelbene.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Trump would rather wage a trade war with Canada than work with our ally to make fertilizer cheaper for farmers. Now, to solve the problem he created, the president wants to reward a Russian ally.

Watch these Ways & Means Republicans cave in real time to pressure from the White House over a straightforward transparency measure. We need lawmakers who are going to represent their district & stand up for their constituents, not be rubber stamps for the Trump administration

RFK Jr. continues to peddle junk anti-vax science & conspiracy theories. As someone who started my career in medical research, ignoring facts & data undermines public health & means more families will get sick.

Trump’s AI Medicare experiment is a dangerous disaster for seniors.   New documents reveal over 50 percent of claims in Washington were denied during the first three months of the program.

Trump has traded more stocks since the beginning of his second term than all members of Congress COMBINED. Public office should not be used for personal gain. That’s why I support banning lawmakers AND the president from trading stocks.

Trump’s AI Medicare experiment is delaying & denying care for WA seniors. New documents make it clear that patients & providers are suffering, but Republicans in Congress continue covering up for the administration. That’s why I’m continuing to shed light on the harms of this dangerous program.

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene @repdelbene.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Congress needs to act on AI to protect Americans. Instead of working to address this issue, Republicans are sending the House home early. I am calling on Speaker Johnson to keep us in session until we pass AI safeguards.

Let’s be clear - Trump is using the presidency to benefit himself & his family. Don Jr.’s Russian oligarch-funded wedding is just the latest example of this administration's dangerous corruption that actively undermines both national & global security.

During a recent SiriusXM interview, Washington native and show producer Taylor joined our conversation to talk about the Arlington Food Bank, where I recently volunteered. Always great to connect with a fellow Washingtonian!

Trump is actively trying to undermine our elections & take away mail-in voting from millions of Americans. Washingtonians know that voting by mail is a secure, convenient way to make their voices heard.

WA’s streams & wetlands are a vibrant part of our rich PNW ecosystem & I’m committed to protecting them. Great to visit the Northwest Stream Center in Everett to learn about their sustainability, salmon habitat restoration, & conservation efforts.

After the tragic 2014 Oso landslide, I championed & passed a law to improve disaster preparedness & protect our communities. I’m fighting in Congress to reauthorize these important programs, so the next natural disaster doesn’t become the next national tragedy.

The Vice President is gaslighting the American people. The administration is refusing to take responsibility for wrecking the economy & skyrocketing costs.

My Republican colleagues in Congress love to talk about fiscal responsibility but continue to give most tax cuts to the wealthy & well-connected.

Trump’s escalating trade war with one of our closest allies & trading partners means YOU will pay more for household goods. These are just some of the items that will cost more thanks to the president’s reckless tariffs on Canadians products.

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene @repdelbene.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Trump’s trade war with Canada is raising costs for families, blowing up a relationship with one of our most important allies, & cutting off access to the materials we need to protect our national security.

Every child deserves a fair chance to succeed.   That’s why we need to restore the expanded Child Tax Credit, which cut childhood poverty nearly in half & provided families with monthly payments so they could afford everyday expenses like child care, groceries, & rent.

Washington families are paying more for their utilities thanks to Trump. In 2025, they paid $140 more than in 2024 for electricity.

Housing is too expensive & many families struggle to afford it. One important part of the solution is to build more affordable housing in our communities . Congress recently passed a bipartisan housing bill to make it easier to build more homes, but we need to go further.

Republicans’ Medicaid work requirements from their Big Ugly Bill take full effect early next year. Over 350,000 Washingtonians are expected to lose their Apple Health coverage. I brought together Apple Health patients & providers to discuss how damaging these Medicaid cuts will be in our community

It’s National Park Week, which means it’s a great time to celebrate WA’s natural beauty! From North Cascades, Olympic, & Mt. Rainier National Parks, there are plenty of opportunities for families to explore the outdoors.
