President Trump delivered another rambling speech filled with false claims about election fraud. I voted YES to stop sending additional military aid to Israel, and I fought to defend the 14th Amendment and the constitutional rights it guarantees. No matter the chaos or distractions, I'll keep showing up to protect our democracy and fight for the people I represent. Here’s your 6 for the 6th: <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/customers/WA06ER/IMG_2327.jpg> <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/customers/WA06ER/ONE_FOR_SURE.png> Trump’s Lies About the 2020 Election Once Again * On Thursday, President Trump addressed the nation at primetime about “election interference”. He is peddling the same lies from when he lost his election in 2020 to create doubt within our election system. * This is all an attempt to sell the SAVE Act which would make it unnecessarily harder for millions of eligible voters to vote. Even Trump’s own party <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/iqClickT rk.aspx?&cid=WA06ER&crop=14443.6384471.5407167.7318396&report_id=&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.npr.org%2f2026%2f06%2f04%2fnx-s1-5751145%2fsave-act-senate-vote-trump&redir_log=088321411944467> knows this is bad policy. * Trump and Republicans in Congress know that Americans are fed up with their harmful anti-immigrant, anti-American agenda. That’s why they’re spreading misinformation and sowing doubt in our election system. Trump even called to end voting-by-mail, which WA state has used since 2005 to have safe and secure elections. * This administration and Republicans in Congress seem hell-bent on taking power away from the people.

Thomas Massie's (R, KY-04) amendment to cut $3.3 billion in annual funding for military aid to Israel. The amendment ultimately failed 104-313 but it was important to stand with my neighbors who have been abundantly clear – they don’t want to see more of their taxpayer dollars go towards subsidizing Netanyahu’s endless violence and destabilization of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and the region at large – especially not without any accountability or oversight for how American weapons are being used. * While I’m concerned about how the broad language in this amendment would affect the flow of humanitarian assistance, the risk of approving more military aid without any guardrails is too great and will continue to put innocent civilians in harm’s way. * My vote reflects the need for a fundamental change in our approach to the far-right Netanyahu government – one that is long overdue. That means no more additional funding for weapons. * I remain committed to protecting the flow of humanitarian aid while ending unconditional and unchecked military support. <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/customers/WA06ER/3.png> Enough is Enough. ICE Murders Two More People in Our Streets * Last week, we saw two more people murdered by ICE agents. Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo didn’t deserve to die. * From Houston to Biddeford, this violence is continuing to sweep across our country. Violence perpetrated by a fascist police force that’s going unchecked and receiving billions of taxpayer dollars. We need body camera footage. We need agents to stop hiding behind masks. * Thanks to millions of Americans marching in the streets, we got Kristi Noem OUT of DHS, but the new Secretary, former Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, isn’t much better. Sec. Mullin paused ICE from conducting vehicle stops, but Trump reversed the directive <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/iqClickTrk.aspx?&cid=WA06ER&crop=14443.6384471.5407167.7318396&report_id=&redirect= https%3a%2f%2fwww.cnn.com%2f2026%2f07%2f15%2fus%2ftrump-ice-traffic-stops&redir_log=492542079816385> the next day. * This war on immigrants and brown communities is making us less safe every single day. When Democrats have the gavels, we will hold them accountable.

I’m thrilled to co-chair this task force to defend the Constitution and strategize on how to best fight back against the ongoing threats to our democracy and freedoms. * Watch my full remarks HERE <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/iqClickTrk.aspx?&cid=WA06ER&crop=14443.6384471.5407167.7318396&report_id=&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.instagram.com%2fp%2fDa6GDh4JI XL%2f&redir_log=783563756732259> . <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/customers/WA06ER/floorspeech14th.png> <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/customers/WA06ER/5.png> Rise and Shine, New Daylight Savings Bill☀️ * Last week, I voted YES on the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent. For Washington state, it would mean no more turning our clocks twice a year & no more 4pm sunsets in the winter. * We’re all excited for more daylight hours to be outside in our beautiful state 😄🌲🗻 * When I was a member of the Washington State Legislature, I was proud to vote for Marcus Riccelli’s bill to make daylight savings time permanent pending congressional approval — and I was proud to vote to make that possible this week.

In Washington state, there's currently over 100 active cases <https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/iqClickTrk.aspx?&cid=WA06ER&crop=14443.6384471.5407167.7318396&report_id=&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwsp.wa.gov%2fc rime%2falerts-missing-persons%2fmissing-indigenous-persons%2f&redir_log=558228820362534> of missing Indigenous people. * I was grateful to be joined by Abigail Echo-Hawk, who testified at the hearing. As President of the Seattle Indian Health Board and Director of the Urban Indian Health Institute, and a citizen of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, Abigail’s expertise and perspective was so appreciated at the hearing. * Congress and the federal government have a trust responsibility to work with Tribal Nations and deliver meaningful action. * For too long, Tribal leaders have made it clear that we’ve fallen short. It’s past time to listen, act, and uphold our commitments.
